Pistol shrimp have supersonic weapons hotter than the sun—and they are deadlier than you think. The Greenland shark may be a supernatural cryptid if it can live for hundreds of years: Are there deeper truths beyond the Inuit legends and stories of this slow-moving scavenger? Some creatures, like the wood frog and koi fish, have bizarre ways of surviving impossibly cold conditions. Do immortal jellyfish and fortune telling octopuses tell us more about the nature of life, longevity, and the human body? Strange, mysterious, and telepathic things happen in the ocean and all over the world, that’s for sure. Hear all about them in this Metaphysical episode that’s out of this world.

Also in this episode: Tune in to geek out about sea creatures and more. Where does hibernation end and “coming back from the grave” begin when it comes to freezing temperatures? Frogs as far north as Alaska can give us some fascinating insights. Why is the common goldfish actually an unusual creature that can turn into a magnificent beast? Is the Inuit legend of “Skalugsuak” anything like a version of the “Meg” megalodon shark, and is there any truth behind the stories? Plus, bizarrely, why is urine central to the fearsome shark’s mythology? On the topic of sharks, what are the strangest things that sharks have eaten over the centuries? You’ll laugh at the list. How does transdifferentiation work in immortal jellyfish, and why is it so extremely rare? How do some creatures “live forever”? Why did Paul the Octopus become so famous for his predictive abilities, and what can he tell us about animal consciousness if we look deeper?
