Episode 25 of Break It Down.

Image credit: Edited by IFLScience

 This week on Break It Down: a wonky-necked giraffe is somehow still alive, an extraordinary fossil find shows a tyrannosaur with a stubby snout, a vaccine to stop COVID transmission is a success (at least, in hamsters), ancient stars are not where we expect them to be, 12,500-year-old rock art is a wildlife masterpiece, and we debunk some cortisol-based misinformation. Available on all your favorite podcast apps: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, Amazon Music, and more.
