This is Yell Parks Pod, a podcast where your hosts yell about the parks, nature, and beauty of the world that surrounds us. Due to scheduling conflicts, we’re taking a break this month from discussing specific parks, and instead hosts Ole and Nic are taking you along on a little research dive! Both hosts secretly picked an animal without conferring beforehand and then discuss their animals’ scientific classifications and what their most recent ancestor might have been.
Next Episode: Petrified Forest National Park
