S9 E10: Pitstops and Layovers 🦋💤
Episode description
In this episode of Earth Rangers, a science podcast for kids who love animals and nature, Earth Ranger Emma takes a well-earned break in a marshy wetland in southern Louisiana – and she’s not alone!
This peaceful pitstop is actually a “stopover site,” where migrating animals like monarch butterflies, red knots and ruby-throated hummingbirds rest and refuel on their epic journeys across the globe. From butterflies with paper-thin wings flying thousands of kilometres to tiny hummingbirds that flap their wings 80 times a second (!!!), Emma uncovers just how important these marshy motels are for animals on the move.
