Description

Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas from all of us at That's Just Wild! 🎅


Steve Backshall has a secret he's been burning (or should I say, freezing?!) to let you all in on...


Plus, a rerun of our first ever episode: Freezing 🥶


What do you get when a polar bear mates with a grizzly 🐻‍❄️


A walrus starts making music 🎶


And a scientist decides to freeze themselves on purpose?! 👨‍🔬❄️


A wild podcast episode!


Steve Backshall, Lizzie Daly, and Sarah Roberts talk snow blindness, getting deliberately hypothermic in the name of science, and the mashup that is the Pizzly Bear (or Grolar Bear, depending which way round it goes). Plus: walrus songs, narwhals, questionable taxidermy, and even a surprisingly useful penis bone.


Follow wherever you get your podcasts so that you never miss an episode.


The walrus chiming clip was recorded by Diane Calamar Okonek, and posted to Instagram by wildlife photographer Acacia Johnson.
