  Methuselah's Zoo - What Nature...

  Opossums in the wild don't make it to the age of three; our pet cats can live for a decade and a half; cicadas live for seventeen years. Whales, however, can live for two centuries and tubeworms for several millennia. Meanwhile, human life expectancy tops out around the mid-eighties, with some outliers living past 100 or even 110. Is there anything humans can learn from the exceptional longevity of some animals in the wild? In Methusaleh's Zoo, Steven Austad tells the stories of some extraordinary animals, considering why, for example, animal species that fly live longer than earthbound species and why animals found in the ocean live longest of all. 
   
   
   
  Austad—the leading authority on longevity in animals—argues that the best way we will learn from these long-lived animals is by studying them in the wild. Accordingly, he proceeds habitat by habitat, examining animals that spend most of their lives in the air, comparing insects, birds, and bats; animals that live on, and under, the ground—from mole rats to elephants; and animals that live in the sea. 
   
   
   
  Humans have dramatically increased their lifespan with only a limited increase in healthspan; we're more and more prone to diseases as we grow older. By contrast, these species have successfully avoided both environmental hazards and the depredations of aging. Can we be more like them?

  The Golden Toad - An Ecological...

  As young boys, Trevor and Kyle Ritland were fascinated by the golden toad of Costa Rica, a brilliant species their biologist father showed them in his projector's slide shows. Native to only one wind-battered ridgeline high on the continental divide above the cloud forests of Monteverde, thousands of golden toads would congregate for a few weeks each year in ephemeral pools among the twisted roots to mate, deposit their offspring, and retreat again beneath the earth. But from one year to the next, the toads disappeared without a trace. Since then, only rumors remain, which beg the question: could the golden toad still be alive? 
   
   
   
  In The Golden Toad, Trevor and Kyle set off to investigate an environmental mystery with unexpected revelations, a story that speaks to our own collective and uncertain future. Guided by Costa Rican naturalists—including the last person to have seen the golden toad alive—Trevor searches for survivors while Kyle hunts the killer, and their paths lead them through an imperiled forest, a deadly pandemic, and a changing climate, intertwining at the site of the golden toad's last emergence deep in Monteverde's Bosque Eterno de Los Niños. 
   
   
   
  The Golden Toad changes the conversation around extinction, climate change, and conservation while exploring environmental grief, resurrection, and hope in a changing world.

  Corbus Saves His Friends

  What happens when the animal everyone thinks is a nuisance becomes the only one who can save the day? 
   
  Meet Corbus, a magnificent cheetah and the absolute fastest animal in the land! But moving at lightning speed isn't always easy. Every time Corbus zooms by, he kicks up massive clouds of dust. Michaela the monkey loses her bananas, Percy the polecat gets tumbled over, and the spiders have their carefully spun webs crashed into. To his neighbors, poor Corbus is just a bothersome pest. 
   
  “Why are you always running so fast?” they shout. 
  Corbus doesn't mean to cause trouble; he just loves to run! But everything changes on the day the land faces its greatest terror: a raging, unstoppable wildfire. As the flames crackle and the lightning strikes the dry earth, the elephants, lions, birds, and bees scurry in panic. The fire moves too fast for them to escape. 
  Only one animal has the speed to outrun the roaring heat. 
  In a heartwarming display of bravery, Corbus turns his greatest trait into a lifesaving gift. Scooping up the injured monkey, offering his back to the polecat, and letting the baby spiders spin their sticky silk right onto his fur, Corbus races against the storm to carry his jungle family to the safety of the rocky outcrop. Packed with high-stakes adventure, gentle humor, and profound heart, Corbus Saves His Friends is an unforgettable audio journey.
