Cannibalism

Cannibalism was once thought as a behavior only witnessed in conditions of extreme survival - a necessary tactic to outlast starvation or some other extreme environmental stressor. But as we have come to understand this behavior more…it appears that cannibalism is pretty damn common in animals, and maybe even in humans as well?

We are now starting to accept cannibalism as a natural behavior of the animal world, and in this episode we explore the mystery of why members of the same species would want to eat each other.

Can we ask you for a favor? Please rate and subscribe on itunes, the 5 star kind of course! It really helps :) We will forever be in your debt, thank you.

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.
