Episode Description

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.


📝 Leave us a review and tell us what you thought — we love hearing from you.
