This week we explore a subject close to both our hearts, Animal Activism. This episode has tangents and personal stories galore as we both love animals but it's focus is celebrating the work and life of two incredible Primatologists- Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall. Both of these women had a passion for adventure and the study of primates and dedicated their lives to conservation and improving our understanding of these animals. 

This week Bella created a "Hot Cross Bunny" coffee using Beanies coffee and marshmallow bunnies which caused plenty of giggles.

Show Notes: 

At one point we discuss the term for a family of gorillas, it is a Troop or Band of Gorillas. 

This week's cuppa: Beanies Flavour Coffee in Hot Cross Bun, add to hot water, add milk and sugar to taste. to drink like we did search for marshmallows (possibly rabbit shaped) and dip the marshmallow in the coffee, maybe you could dissolve it but we didn't test run that! Enjoy!
