CAPYBARAS with Elizabeth Congdon

CAPYBARAS! Blocky faces. Chill vibes. Spa days. Finally. Hydrochoerologist, Dr. Elizabeth Congdon, leads us into the muddy pond of these beloved giant rodents. We chat weird feet, smelly noses, pet questions, interspecies hangouts, natural habitats, and a fossil record that will rock you. An instant classic that you’ll want to enjoy on repeat. Y’all, CAPYBARAS. I repeat: Capybaras.  Read Dr. Congdon’s publications on ResearchGate A donation went to Edgewater Animal Shelter Full-length (*not* G-rated) Hydrochoerology episode + tons of science links More kid-friendly Smologies episodes!
