<p>This week on That’s Just Wild, Steve, Sarah and Lizzie dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird and surprisingly soggy side of the natural world 💧💧💧</p><br><p>🐜 Honey ants take food storage to another level — with a special cast that swells up with nectar until they’re completely immobile, hanging from the nest ceiling like living reservoirs, ready to feed the colony when times get tough. 🍯</p><br><p>🧪 Hagfish unleash one of the strangest defences in the animal kingdom — producing up to 20 litres of slime in seconds. This bizarre mucus expands in seawater, clogging the gills of predators and making a swift escape possible. Slippery doesn’t even cover it. 🐍💨</p><br><p>🐸 The ultimate survivalist? Meet the water-holding frog — capable of storing huge amounts of water in its body, going into a state of stasis, and surviving underground for up to five years without drinking in extreme drought conditions. 🌵💧</p><br><p>📝 Leave us a review to let us know what you think — every comment means a lot to the whole team 💚</p><br><p>🔔 Make sure you follow That’s Just Wild wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode 🎧</p><p>Go to <a href="thatsjustwild.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thatsjustwild.com</a> to get ad-free listening, special deep-dive episodes and exclusive That's Just Wild goodies. </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
