Blood Suckers

Hematophagy is the practice by certain animals of feeding on blood. It turns out that blood isn’t really that hard to get once you go below the skin and is actually a dominant method of feeding for many small worms and arthropods…humans also eat and drink blood! Cow blood mixed with milk, for example, is a mainstay food of the African Masai. Marco Polo reported that Mongols drank blood from their horses if necessary. Many places around the world eat blood sausage. So today we take a deeper blood suckers and blood sucking.

About the Podcast

Dude! Nature
The longest running (and most popular) science podcast for those of us who got kicked out of class for throwing pencils at the ceiling. Adam and Noah are skeptical twin brothers whose separate journeys through professional science and engineering led them to a ridiculous notion: that reality is strange and barely understood. Unfortunately they just didn't have the attention span to listen to any science podcasts without wanting to gouge their eyes out with a spoon.

If you've ever wanted to listen to more podcasts about cosmic quandaries, evolutionary mysteries, and giant creatures living underneath the ice of rogue planets but just can't stand academic rambling delivered with a nasally voice, then this podcast is for you.
