Description
On this episode of Science Quickly, host Rachel Feltman discusses Japan’s half-billion-dollar mission to land on Mars’s lumpy little moon Phobos and catches up on animal behavior, both big and small—from newly discovered cartwheeling snakes to the surprisingly complex vocal repertoire of social vultures. We also explore how Japanese macaques developed food caution after surviving a disease outbreak and why adults are actually more creative than preschoolers (they just need more confidence).
