Long before forests rose or dinosaurs walked, life had already filled Earth’s oceans with astonishing survivors — organisms so successful they have endured for hundreds of millions, even billions, of years.

In this episode of Bedtime Biology, we travel through deep time, meeting cyanobacteria that oxygenated the planet, sponges that predate all other animals, horseshoe crabs older than the dinosaurs, jellyfish that perfected swimming in the Cambrian seas, nautiluses carrying shells designed half a billion years ago, microscopic tardigrades capable of surviving almost anything, and Greenland sharks that may live for four centuries.

With soft narration and soothing ambience, you’ll explore the secrets behind their endurance — the elegant strategies, simple body plans, and remarkable resilience that allowed them to persist through mass extinctions, climate catastrophes, shifting continents, and the entire rise of complex life.

Let this quiet journey into Earth’s ancient past remind you that survival takes many forms — patience, adaptability, simplicity, and a design so perfect that evolution never needed to change it.
