hermit crabs

This week, we’re taking you back to the beach to look at another marine animal. These animals like to make their homes out of shells you may have picked up while looking through the sand. But there’s a lot more to them than meets the eye. So try not to get pinched because we’re going to be talking about a family of crazy crustaceans: hermit crabs.

We're putting creatures in the basement tidepool!  Here's your complete breakdown of what we're adding- from the microscopic to the giant kraken.  

The boys meet up after Lobo and Prospect take some time off. While Lobo was laying on an iguana infested beach in Puerto Rico, and Prospect was prowling the streets of Nashville, Jax and Pete were barley keeping the shop afloat. However, in all that chaos, Jax may have found a solution to Hollywood's obsession with making movies so long. Grab some coffee, we're going deep, After Dark!

The woodlouse is an familiar, unobstrusive little creature - dull, grey and unassuming. What if we defy that expectation? In this episode we lift up a log, and enter the incredible world of the woodlouse. Tom chats with scientist Eleanor Drinkwater about her research in the field of woodlouse personality, as well as woodlouse diversity, the challenges faced by terrestial crustaceans and a great deal more. Come and hear about the bacteria which turns male woodlice female, about the woodlice that form pair bonds, and about the intuitive relationship that can percieved between woodlice and the Christian Trinity. 

Note the inverted commas, pincer-like, around the title. In this episode, we discuss 'crabs' - the various animals that end up under the 'crab' umbrella. Tom chats 'crabs' with Mark Losavio, diver, eduactor and marine biologist. We talk all things crab, and also discuss working in aquariums, teaching children about the ocean, and Mark shares his perspective on being a black man in marine science. 

Our first episode of 2021! This episode began as a dive into animals using other animals as shelter, but quickly expands and deviates into a discussion on animal co-habitation, the importance of shelter, and why setts are called setts. 

Enjoy!

Lots of changes in our boys' lives, and as always, lots of learning and bathos. Kevin is beautiful and John undergoes judgement. There is a discussion about North vs. South Rhone, and oddly enough these two idiots actually try to explain stuff this time. Lots of technical knowledge and family pain makes this an ideal episode for sharing with friends or leaving a 5 star review on itunes.
