Episode notes

In general, our species tends to have access to more calories than we need to survive. But for garillas, doctor strawinsky says, you're constantly teetering like, just enough and what we found in garillas, that's the case. So if you have any extra calories in the form of food to donate, you can look up your local food pantry and see what they need. Maybe drop off a bag of things like apple sauce, canned beans, instant potatoes, crinolabars, canned meats, other staples i looked up they always tend to need.

Gorillas. These chest-beating, salad-munching, communal living, thick-furred beauties have so many surprises for you. Gorillaologist (IT’S A WORD) Dr. Tara Stoinski has been a gorilla scientist for nearly 3 decades and dishes on everything from fieldwork in cloudy mountains to dick facts, forest farts, banana flim-flam, the intersection of animal conservation and community investment, night-time nesting, grief, what those big teeth are for, gorilla musk, the legacy of primatologist Dr. Dian Fossey and the Gorilla Fund, and why our closest relatives need and deserve our protection. Also some weird asides about jaw exercises and online dating, because I want to.
