This week on That’s Just Wild, Steve and Sarah are going Ancient… seriously ancient. 🦖⏳

Meeting Ming the giant clam — 507 years old that was already alive when Leonardo da Vinci was painting the Mona Lisa.🐚🖼️
🦈 We trace ancient lineages: Sharks cruising our oceans for 400 million years, Horseshoe crabs older than dinosaurs and Velvet worms predating flies and mosquitoes.🪱🧲🦀

🦁 Why don’t big cats bother with tiny snacks? When you’re a lion or tiger, why ignore small prey and go all-in on the big prey?
🧠 And does neurodivergence exist in animals? Can wildlife have different brain wiring too?
