Muddy: Giant Tadpoles, Mud-Breathing Fish, and the Dirty Tricks of Dolphins

That's Just Wild

Show Notes

This week on That’s Just Wild, Steve, Lizzie, and Sarah are getting Muddy — plunging into the gloopy, squelchy, wildly misunderstood world beneath our feet. 🐾

Frrom mud-loving marvels like the Chilean helmeted bullfrog 🐸, to the paradox frog whose skin slime could help treat diabetes 🧪

Sarah shares experience wrestling with sharp-tooth catfish, and explains how some dolphins use mud as a hunting tool. 🐬

Plus: Busting quicksand myths, ancient lungfish that cocoon themselves in mud for years, and muddy landscapes where woolly mammoths likely took their final steps.
