36:52>> Lego, which we got in our comments. Yes, Lego is already plural behind Krishna's left shoulder uh in all camera views if you're watching on social or on the pod. Our story number two is about the king of the jungle, which is sometimes debated, but lions having a second roar that scientists have only just discovered uh which could potentially help with conservation efforts. >> Yeah. >> And so this is was a weird story. What what's what's instrumental about this discovery here in animal behavior? >> Yeah. I mean, so everyone is aware of the lion's roar, right? Lion is the king of the jungle. It has a roar and everyone kind of knows what it sounds
37:33like. Kind of like that. Exactly. And >> now what they've done is they've taken thousands of hours of recordings of lions and they've ran that through an AI classifier. And what the AI has figured out is there's actually two subtypes of roars that lions make. There's the first one that's the loud one that everyone knows. And then there's a second one that is a little bit lower, takes a little bit longer, and is a lot more unique to each lion. So when we say this can be used for population studies, what you could do is you could have a recording of the jungle and you can have an AI then go through and each line is
38:15going to have a different voice profile, right? >> And so you can identify how many individuals there are in a certain territory, where are they going? you can identify a line here and then a month later if he like went to the neighboring national park you can say oh wow he like traveled all the way right this um the recordings were taken from Tanzania and Zimbabwe >> actually so um a lot of these lions have collars that they've been fitted to sort of track and they also have little microphones and so that's where the data set comes from I think it could be huge one thing that I learned when I was um reading about this story is that you know the MGM roar yeah >> the The Metro Goodwin mayor. >> Yes. >> Lion's Roar that comes in the beginning
38:56of all these different films >> now owned by Amazon. >> Yes. That's actually now that's actually a tiger roaring. >> Yes. >> It's not even a lion. >> For those who don't know, the best roar of the big cats 100% the tiger. >> The tiger%. >> Yeah. The lion is not that great. And so they used a tiger, but they put a lion there. It's like it's like dubbing. >> It's it's very low. Lion roars are kind of low energy. Jeb, they're a little They're a little apathetic. >> Exactly. >> Uh Tiger again, the mascot of the greatest university institution on the planet. >> That's right. >> It's chosen for a reason. >> Yeah. >> Uh also a great Zim shout out. Well
39:36done. >> Yeah. >> Uh it's not always that we can get to plug uh my my uh >> my motherland in the story. That's a good one. >> I thought that was a cool one. And the research comes out of the University of Extor and the University of Oxford and it's currently out in Ecology and Evolution, the journal. >> Fantastic. We're going to move to our third breakdown story uh related to NASA's Juno mission reveals that Jupiter is much smaller than we previously thought. What's going on here? >> Yeah, this one was weird because I was like, how do you how do you get the size of a planet wrong? >> Actually, one that's very >> it's like quite big. like how do you how do you do that? Right. And then it's
40:18actually an interesting question. How do you measure the size of a planet? >> Yes. >> Right. Um so the way that they measured it before was when Voyager 1 and 2 and Pioneer 10 and 11 went to Jupiter. What you can do is you can beam, you know, you're beaming data to JPL at all times, right? The NASA deep space network, which currently is at JPL. I don't know
