Tai Asks Why: How Did Some Animals Survive The Dinosaur-Killing Asteroid Strike?

Tai has been thinking a lot about how it is all going to end … the earth becoming a rock in the middle of space.

Tai looks to the past to predict future. Three quarters of the plant and animals species couldn’t survive the last mass extinction but some did. Why?

Explore the “how & why” of surviving an apocalypse during The Pea Green Boat, Friday, May 28 at 4 p.m. with the CBC podcast Tai Asks Why

We will learn also what a tardigrade is and how they survive pretty much anything.
