Barbs. Spurs. Stinks. Scutes. Shrieks. Fashion. Drama. Animal behaviorist, evolutionary biologist, Cal State Long Beach professor, and your new favorite Zoohoplologist, Dr. Ted Stankowich, divulges about putting your dukes up or curling into a ball so you don’t die. Either/or, sometimes both. I went to his lab down at California State Long Beach, for a tour and a chat about armadillos, skunks, pangolins, horned lizards, wombats, coyotes, kit foxes, poodles, porcupines, tigers, deer and the will to keep living. Visit Dr. Stankowich’s <a href="https://www.csulb.edu/biological-sciences/mammal-lab">Mammal Lab</a> and follow him on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dr.tedstankowich/?hl=en">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/tedstankowich.bsky.social">Bluesky</a>, and <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Ysqc11MAAAAJ&hl=en">Google Scholar</a>A donation went to the <a href="https://pangolincrisisfund.org/">Pangolin Crisis Fund</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/zoohoplology">More episode sources and links</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/mammalogy">Mammalogy (MAMMALS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ornithorhynchology">Ornithorhynchology (PLATYPUSES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/erethizonology">Erethizonology (PORCUPINES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/carnivoreecology">Carnivore Ecology (LIONS, TIGERS, & BEARS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/cervidology">Cervidology (DEER)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/myrmecology">Myrmecology (ANTS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/paleohistology">Paleohistology (WHY TEETH EXIST)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/behavioralecology">Behavioral Ecology (REPRODUCTIVE TRADEOFFS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/screamology">Screamology (LOUD VOCALIZATIONS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/fearology-pt-1">Fearology (FEAR)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/vampirology">Vampirology (VAMPIRES)</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo">Kelly R.
