In Part 2 of my interview with Jack Baker, we hear more about how the pangolin help shape Jack's podcast.

Jack shares more his journey into conservation, the importance of joy in the field, and the challenges of measuring impact in environmental education. He discusses the evolution of his podcast, "Pangolin: The Conservation Podcast," and the significance of representation throughout conservation spaces. Jack and Rick also discuss the need for self-care and the importance of taking breaks to protect one's joy while working in conservation and environmental education. Oh, and yes... There's a polar bear, a stingray, tapirs, puffins and of course, pangolins.

Ever wondered how lizards drop their? Is it their choice when to detached or is it pulled off?

The science behind it is even cooler than you think! It involves muscles, preexisting fractures and a quick "peel-off like a sticker" that allows the whole process to happen. And there's more - The tail does grow back, but it's not quite the same. And if the growth point gets damaged again, teh lizard could end up with two new tails!
