Ep. 14: Hyenas Part 2: Urban Gangsters and the Hyena Men

This week we have part 2 of the bizarre animals known as hyenas.  Special guest Dayna Bodtcher comes back to join us this week.  We look at the interactions between humans and hyenas that now inhabit cities.  Sometimes they are welcomed, sometimes not so much.  We also take a look into the very strange culture of the Hyena Men, a poor mans traveling circus from Nigeria.  And as always a few attack stories.  Don't forget to watch the Hyena Men documentary and Planet Earth II.

Ep. 13: Hyenas Part 1: Gangsters of the Savannah

This week we look into the most bizarre and dangerous animals we've had yet... hyenas.  They are true gangsters of the Savannah.  Normally believed to be cowardly and villianous scavengers, but that's far from the truth for these complex and highly intelligent animals.  Also extremely strange animals, the females are in charge and have some abnormal body parts.  We also learn how Scar from Lion King got his scar.
