I grew up with chickens and they were pretty smart to me, new my dads car from FAR away no other car, but 30 seconds before i can hear anything they run to the gate. And heather the mother hen loved my dad so all the chickens followed her and loved my dad. I never got to pet them, but my dad could hold them pet them .

I get what he's trying to say, but as someone who lives in Wyoming. Grass hoppers have always had boom and bust years depending on moisture in a very arid environment. Some years the grasshoppers and locusts are a problem and you literally see them everywhere. Some years they are only near rivers where there is healthy grass. That's normal and their populations aren't threatened lol

This was a nice change of pace from typical issues going on in our current affairs. Science is cool and we should focus a tad more on these aspects, rather than the kills, deals and dolla bills. Thanks for doing this 1.

I love this episode so much. This was the first dinosaur based podcast I’ve heard where it was dumbed down to my level. Some people might get annoyed with Julian’s questions and his lack of knowledge but I appreciate it. Someone with a lot more knowledge on dinosaurs wouldn’t have asked these kind of questions therefore things wouldn’t have got explained that I was wondering! Great guest, one of my all time favorites!!!
