Who knew that some of Africa’s most important wildlife conservationists are tiny insects?Termites might be small, but their impact on the African savanna is enormous! These remarkable little engineers build towering mounds, create elaborate underground kingdoms, and transform the land around them into fertile oases bursting with life.

We explore their incredible colonies, surprising teamwork, and the fascinating ripple effect their mounds have on the plants and animals that share their world.They're not just building homes.

"HEALTHY PET? KEEP IT THAT WAY!" with Dr. Kendra Pope
Your pet may look healthy today—but what can you do to keep them that way?About 1 in 4 dogs will develop cancer during their lifetime, and by age 10, the risk climbs to roughly 1 in 2. Cats face cancer and chronic disease too. So instead of waiting until something goes wrong, what if we started thinking about our pets’ health before they get sick?This week, Mark talks with Dr. Kendra Pope, a board-certified veterinary oncologist and leading voice in integrative veterinary medicine. She combines conventional medicine with nutrition, lifestyle, and complementary therapies to help pets live longer, healthier lives—and to give pet parents practical ways to be proactive about their health.They talk about cancer and chronic disease, what pet parents should be watching for, the role of diet and lifestyle, and the things you can start doing now to support your pet’s long-term health.Dr. Pope also shares how her educational courses are helping pet parents better understand their animals’ health and become more informed advocates for their care.Because the best time to think about your pet’s health isn’t when they get sick. It’s while they’re healthy.Links:https://prismpets.krtra.com/t/QLJCxIwYEAlFhttps://prismpets.krtra.com/t/AhIM4vPV9joQwww.furrealpodcast.comig@drkendrapope ig@thefurrealpodcast ig@markakylefb@ Dr. Kendra Pope fb@ Mark A Kyletik tok@thefurrealpodcast you tube @dr.kendrapopeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"MARMOSETS...THEY'RE CUTE, CHATTY & CLEVER!" with Dr. Cory Miller
They’re tiny, ridiculously cute, incredibly social—and they have a lot to say. Marmosets may be some of the smallest monkeys around, but behind those expressive faces is a surprisingly complex world of communication, family life, cooperation and intelligence.This week, Mark talks with Dr. Cory Miller, a professor and researcher at the University of California, San Diego, whose work explores how marmosets communicate and interact with one another. Cory and his team are studying their vocal behavior and the brain systems behind it, using these highly social little primates to better understand how communication works—and what it can tell us about our own brains and behavior.From their constant chatter and family dynamics to the remarkable ways they listen, respond and learn from one another, marmosets prove there’s a whole lot going on inside those very cute little heads.Cute? Absolutely. Chatty? Definitely. Clever?
