About 70,000 years ago, there was a huge piece of land off the coast of Australia that could have supported around half a million people. This land connected modern-day Indonesia to Australia and was part of the North-West Australian Shelf. It used to be part of a bigger landmass called Sahul, which linked Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania into one continent. Today, scientists are mapping this lost "Atlantis" to learn more about it. It's fascinating to think about this ancient world that once existed! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You've probably seen those viral images of kangaroos chilling in shallow water, seemingly inviting you to join them. But in Australia, it’s likely they're trying to hurt you. Some folks on social media say kangaroos might lure predators into the water to drown them, using their strength to hold heads underwater. While there's evidence of this tactic with animals like dogs, it’s not clear if kangaroos would do this to humans. They usually use water to escape threats, not as a murder strategy. Still, it's best to keep your distance and definitely keep your dogs out of the water if a kangaroo is around. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you ever find yourself face-to-face with an alligator, there’s a surprising two-finger trick that could save your life. Alligators have super strong jaws for biting down, but the muscles to open their mouths are much weaker. If an alligator grabs you, try to stay calm (as hard as that sounds!) and aim for their eyes or the sensitive tip of their snout. Using two fingers, poke their eyes as hard as you can—this often makes them let go and retreat. Another option is to jab your fingers into their nostrils or ears; these spots are super sensitive and can make them release you. Remember, though, the best strategy is to avoid alligators in the first place by staying far from their habitats! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
