Q&A: Goats on Wheels, Luscious Long Necks and Poo Is Power

This week on That’s Just Wild, Steve and Lizzie tackle more of your wildest questions!

🦣 Do animals support their young with disabilities? From African wild dogs to elephants and chimpanzees, we explore the surprisingly compassionate side of the animal kingdom. ❤️🌍

🦒 Ever wondered why giraffes have such ridiculously long necks—and who else is in the long-neck club? From swans and ostriches to alpacas and even bizarre insects (yes, really), plus prehistoric creatures that make giraffes look short… this one stretches way back in time. 🦢✨

💩 Can animal poo actually be useful? From fuel to survival hacks, we uncover the true value of poo—including why baby koalas have to eat their mum’s to grow up healthy. Nature gets weird. Fast. 🤯🌱

🔍 And finally—Steve’s favourite animal tracking facts from Africa. Because sometimes, the distance between droppings (and how far they fell…) tells you everything you need to know. 🐾
