Animals in Therapy

How often do you think 'If they don't turn that light off, I'm going to be eaten by a falcon?' Or, 'That drilling sound will drive me to my death?' You're not the only one.

Tuck in for a bit of species therapy, and you’ll see that we’re all experiencing some similar pressures.

Season 3:

There's a superstar whale who's had enough of our deep-sea antics, a seriously desperate tree frog on the croak of extinction, and a bunch of night-dwellers straddling the edge of existence with one very clear, very simple request.

Cancel the noise

A wavey release. Tail Impala sends us some signals about the unnatural noise disrupting their habitat. But where's the inspiration? Male Humpback whales sing to find love and friendship, but sonar and boat engine sounds are getting in the way.

You might not have heard of cochineals, but you're more familiar than you think. They're global superstars. It's a rich journey that starts here: cochineal career day. But there's a dark secret behind this bug fame.

Do you really need it?

The wildest Indian elephant restaurant review you'll see today. For the Elly Eats squad, their normal snack spots are gone, so they’re attempting a journey into the trashiest buffet you've ever seen.

I’m not your pet

Hogs of the house, or hogs of the hedge? It’s hard to say what they prefer... or is it?
