Why the Biggest Place on Earth is the Most BORING?

Is bigger always better? Not when it comes to evolution.
In this episode of GolodedNature, our AI hosts dive into a massive biological paradox: Why does the Palearctic realm (Europe, most of Asia, and North Africa) — the largest chunk of land on Earth — have the least unique animals?
Listen to our hosts debate the fascinating reasons behind this mystery. It’s a clash between the "Fortress" of Australia and the "Grand Central Station" of the North.
In this discussion, we cover:
• 🧊 The Ice Age Filter: How glaciers acted like bulldozers for millions of years.
• 🌍 The "Open Door" Policy: Why the Bering Land Bridge and African connection turned the North into a "faunal blender."
• 🦘 The Aussie Exception: Why isolation created kangaroos while the North got... generic brown bears.
• 🐛 The Hidden Twist: The shocking discovery of "cryptic species" (like the tapeworm!) that proves diversity might be hiding in plain sight.
This isn't a boring lecture — it's a deep dive into the history of our planet's wildlife.
