Die Apotheke der Tiere

Shownotes

Willkommen zu einer neuen Folge Bugtales!

Wenn Schimpansen krank sind, kauen sie auf Pflanzen, die sie sonst meiden, Orang-Utans behandeln Wunden mit Pflanzensaft, und Ameisen mischen sich offenbar ihr eigenes Antibiotikum zusammen.

Woher wissen Tiere aber, was sie heilt? In dieser Folge erzählt Jasmin von einem Forschungsfeld, das in den späten 1980er-Jahren aufkam: von der Zoopharmakognosie.

Viel Spaß beim Hören!
