Ep. 71: Orcas Part 3: Captivity and Attack Stories

We're back... This week we finish off our series on orcas by looking at them in captivity.  We learn about Shamu as well as a few other famous individual orcas.  Then we look into how orcas are captured and the long lasting mental stresses affect them.  We also look into some orca attack stories that have happened in captivity and talk about the famous orca, Tilikum.  Tilikum was the subject of the 2013 documentary, Blackfish.  Tilikum is responsible for the deaths of three people, which we go over.  We also learn a bit about SeaWorld.  Orcas are some of the most interesting animals we have covered on the show.

Ep. 70: Orcas Part 2: Relationship With Humans

This week we have a special guest to join us, Dayna Bodtcher.  And the theme for this episode is the relationship between orcas and humans.  In Australia during the 1920's a pod of orcas worked with a whaling team to hunt baleen whales.  We also look into some legends of orcas indigenous people used to have.  We look into whale watching around the globe and Dayna gives us information on how orcas have been killing great white sharks off the coast of South Africa.  Then finally we look into orcas in pop-culture, including the 1977 film "Orca" and of course "Free Willy."

Ep. 69: Orcas Part 1: The Ultimate Apex Predators

This week we look into the most badass predators on the planet. They go by many names the bullies of the sea, the wolves of the sea, killers of whales, killer whales and orcas.  We learn all about orcas in the wild to start off our three part series on them.  There are two main types of orcas, resident and transient, each type has their own ways of doing things and different hunting techniques.  Orcas have some of the most complex social structures of the entire animal kingdom, second only to humans.  We also go over six different hunting techniques including beaching themselves to catch seals, making waves to knock seals off ice, drowning large baleen whales and many more.  Learn all about these awesome animals here!

Ep. 68: Giants of the Sea: Humpbacks and Blue Whales

This week we look into the largest animals on the planet, baleen whales.  We learn all about these magnificent creatures and what makes them different than toothed whales.  We also go a little more in depth into two species, the humpback and the blue whale.  Humpbacks are known for whale watching and producing the most intricate songs of any animal.  Blue whales are known for being the largest animals to have ever existed.  They can get to 90+ feet long and weigh around 300,000lbs.  We also share two stories of whales capsizing boats.

Ep. 67: Whale of a Tale: Belugas, Narwhals and Sperm Whales

This week we look into the giants of the sea... whales.  We go over three specific badass whale species; the beluga whale, the narwhal and the poorly named sperm whale.  All of these whales are one of two types of whales, these are members of the toothed whales.  The other type are baleen whales, which we will go over next week.  Did you know that killer whales (orcas) are actually dolphins not whales.  The sperm whale has a reason for its odd name and it involves something you would never have thought of.  The sperm whale is also the same type of whale as Moby Dick.  Lots to learn on this whale of a tale.

Ep. 64: Eight Legged Freaks!

This week just in time for Halloween we look at some creepy crawlers with eight legs. This may be squeamish for people with arachnophobia.  Actually arachnophobia affects 5% of the entire world.   We learn all about spiders and including different species, their webs and silk, and many other interesting facts.  Then we look into some of the more dangerous spiders around the world.  Overall though we learn that spiders really aren't as dangerous as you probably expected.

Ep. 63: Hunting Gone Badly... Accidents and Death #2

This week we have another episode all about hunting accidents.  It is now hunting season for most and to celebrate we go over some stories about what not to do.  Sometimes though accidents happen out of nowhere.  Someone might get shot by another person, or someone may think a person looks like a deer and shoots them, someone may be shot by their own dog, or someone may be impaled by elk antlers.  All of those things happen this episode and much much more.  Remember to stay safe out there hunters.
