Show notes

This week on That’s Just Wild, Steve and Lizzie tackle more of your wildest questions!


🐍 Ever thought about owning a corn snake… and then realised how big the commitment actually is? We get into exotic pets and what it really means to care for them. 🤔


🦘 What’s the point of marsupials — and is there such a thing as a “useless” animal? From pouches to egg-layers, we explore the strange paths of evolution. 🌍✨


💰 Pangolin scales, rhino horn, and even fish bladders worth more than gold… why are these wildlife products so valuable, and what’s the real cost behind them? 🐅


🌴 And finally — can one person actually make a difference in saving a rainforest? From palm oil to conservation in Borneo, we explore what protecting land really looks like 🌱


📝 Leave us a review to let us know what you think — every comment means a lot to the whole team 💚
