Jane Goodall is one of the most famous scientists and activists of my lifetime.

Since Gavin ('s wife) just had a baby, he thought it would be a fitting time to do an episode about birth! Live birth is a thing that mammals are most famous for, but a *ton* of other animals do it too, in lots of different ways! Let's learn about them!
