Ancient: Velvet Worm Veterans, Self-cloning Shrubs and a 507-Year-Old Ocean Icon

This week on That’s Just Wild, Steve and Sarah are going Ancient… seriously ancient. 🦖⏳🌊 From the deep cold, dark waters where life moves slowly and lives ridiculously long... where some Glass sponges have survived 17,000 years.🧽🔎Meeting Ming the giant clam — 507 years old that was already alive when Leonardo da Vinci was painting the Mona Lisa.🐚🖼️🦈 We trace ancient lineages: Sharks cruising our oceans for 400 million years, Horseshoe crabs older than dinosaurs and Velvet worms predating flies and mosquitoes.🪱🧲🦀📝 Leave us a review to let us know what you think — every comment means a lot to the whole team 💚🔔 Make sure you follow That’s Just Wild wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode 🎧🌍Go to thatsjustwild.com to get ad-free listening, special deep-dive episodes and exclusive That's Just Wild goodies.
