In this episode, Phoebe and Jacob talk about the recent discovery of sperm whale cultures and democracies and the news that South Korea will be banning the dog meat trade. They also discuss the unusual discovery of a new Tyrannosaur species, a sighting of a rare "two-sexed" bird, and the unfortunate realization that California's mountain lion population is much lower than originally thought. In this week's "Animal Trivia," Jacob quizzes Phoebe on animal group names. In "Weird, Wacky, and Wondrous," we talk about a tiny carnivorous marsupial whose bite is much stronger than its bark. To end the episode, they have a conversation about the US Fish and Wildlife Service's controversial decision to cull 500,000 barred owls in order to save the threatened Northern Spotted Owl.
