Episode 256 - Predatory Lures
Notas del episodio
Why spend all that effort chasing after prey when you could just convince them to come to you? This episode, we explore the many and varied ways that predators lure their prey, from dangling lights to strategically-placed bait. And we’ll discuss the evolutionary pros and cons of this life strategy, and how all sorts of animals – and plants – make the most of it.
In the news: big Jurassic bugs, big Jurassic belemnites, ocean amphibians, and aquatic anatomy.
