On this episode of Animal Analysis: The Horned Grebe!
Grebes, such as the horned grebe (Podiceps auritis), are not closely related to ducks, or other waterfowl. For a long time, they were treated as sister to the loons, though that all changed with molecular phylogenetics. it turns out that the closest relative of the Grebes is actually the flamingos.
Animal Analysis dives into the life history of different animal species their geographic ranges, diets, how they breed, and the phylogenetic trees of their closest relatives.
comment below which species we should analyse next!
