The Lightening Tree

from Strange by Nature Podcast Hosted by Strange by Nature

Victoria talks about the amazing tropical super-canopy tree the Almendro that actually seem to attract lightening in order to kill off the trees around them. Talk about a bad neighbor! Kirk then brings us the strange story of the Ruff, a shorebird with three distinct versions of males. They each have their own distinct plumage and role in the mating dance. One of them even disguises itself as a female! Join us weekly for more strange nature. Our supporters on Patreon get every episode ad free!
