Welcome to What The Heck's Creature Feature! These episodes look at cryptids and folklore from around the world using stories gathered from various sources. The same method is applied to these as the main episodes! So far, we're yet to have enough information to prove or disprove any of the creatures we've looked at!

This week we're looking at the Cactus Cat. In deserts in North and South America, these creatures prowl. First spotted in the 19th Century, not much is known about them. Over time, they've learned to be wary of humans, but have always been quite territorial and have been known to attack people just walking by. What is a Cactus Cat? How can you tell is you're in their territory? Are there any theories? Listen in to find out!
