01/26/2021
In this two part episode our hosts, Cayla, Nathan and Halli take a look a three cases of intrigue:
- Hyenas: Hyenas get a bad rep, often portrayed as stupid, cowardly scavengers that heckle and antagonize our heroes. But they're Cayla's favorite mammal and she's going to tell you why
- The Kakapo: New Zealand's national bird, the kakapo is one of the wonders of the world. Because how many ten pound, flightless, century living parrots do you know?
- The Megalodon: Before Jaws, before the great white, there was the megalodon a massive shark measuring in at 50 feet and armed with over 250 teeth.
