Listen "[S1E3] Extinct African Megafauna"
Episode Synopsis
Episode Notes
African megafauna are already super well-known, but when grasslands took over the forests of ancient Africa, some megafauna were driven to extinction. What other megafauna has reached the brink, never to return, and can a subspecies of Plains Zebra really be resurrected from the void of extinction?
Thanks for listening to our weekly exploration of why grasslands are the best biome. We'll see you next week!
