Ep. 92 Regeneration Part 3: Newt Eyes and Lizard Tails

Why can newts grow back part of their spine and brain while we're walking around unable to even heal a broken heart!? Even amongst us tetrapods, the ability to regenerate varies wildly! Learn how amphibians regenerate their body parts, how lizards regrow their tails, and how little human kids can regrow the tips of their fingers, apparently!

Feat. a promo for Twisted and Uncorked, a true crime/paranormal podcast!
