Force of Nature

This week we go way back in time back when nature decided to dial it up to 11 and make giant mega-fauna. In part one we will go over some more well known and lesser known giant herbivore animals.  We also get to know what an ice age really is.  All of these giant creatures went extinct about 10,000 years ago, and we really don't know why exactly.  It was a very different earth back then.  

Animals being covered this week.

1. Mammoths

2. Mastodons

3. Glyptodon (Imagine a armadillo/turtle the same size as a Volkswagen Beetle)

4. Giant Beavers

5. Elasmotherium (A giant one horned rhino)

6. Magatherium (Giant ground sloth)

This week we look into one of the most ferocious, gluttonous, fearless and bad-ass animals on the planet, the wolverine.  Wolverines are the largest species of the weasel family and have many nicknames including; skunk bear, glutton bear, hyenas of the north, weasel on steroids and many others.  These super cool animals inhabit the upper northern hemisphere in the colder regions.  They are adapted to their environment, with fur that wont freeze and a specialized molar tooth that allows them to tear apart frozen animals.  We also learn that actor Hugh Jackman didn't even know wolverines existed before he got the role that made him famous.  All this and much more. Enjoy.

This week we tell the story of Jim Corbett and his 72 hour hunt for the Muktesar tigress that has killed at least 24 people.  This is a story from earlier in Jim's hunting career.  He has an exciting hunt, spending one night in a tree in pitch black darkness with the tiger 15 feet away.  We learn about how other sportsmen previously failed hunting this tiger and how Jim eventually succeeds.  The ending is especially crazy, with his most insane tiger kill to date.  And once again we learn that porcupines may actually be behind the reason this tiger has turned to man eating.

This wee we look at the amazing Bengal tigers.  Bengal tigers are the most notable tiger species and one of the most iconic animals on the planet.  They are native to India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan and make up over half of all tigers in the world.  At the beginning of the 1900's there were supposedly over 100,000 in the wild, nowadays only around 2,500 live in the wild.  There may be more in zoos than in the wild.  The reasons are all because of humans... poaching and habitat loss make up for most of it.  Tigers are awesome animals that deserve our protection.  But sometimes tigers can be scary monsters... tigers have killed more people than any other predatory mammal.  There are around 100 tiger attacks a year in some areas.  We also go through a list of well known man eating tigers.

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.
