On todays episode we head out to the open sea and talk about one of the worst animal related maritime disasters to ever occur: the sinking of the whale-ship Essex. At the heart of this story are a dozen desperate men and one extremely angry sperm whale. 

Then in our Scratch Of The Day: A woman bullied online for being bitten by a blue ringed octopus, a zoo keeper in Romania is mauled and killed by a tiger, and a heroic Canadian man saves his wife by pile-driving a polar bear. 

We finish up by playing another Man Eaters Grid!

In 1945 a platoon of Japanese soldier were the victims of one of the worst animal attacks in all of human history- or were they? On today's episode we learn all about the alleged Ramree Island Crocodile Massacre and answer the question once and for all: did it really happen?

Then we put our thinking caps on and do a couple quizzes (only one of which is all about poo!)

Sup freaks and geeks! Today we're getting deep into lion territory and talking all about human/lion conflict. Specifically we tackle the story of the Mfuwe Man Eating Lion that terrorised African villages in the 1990s. 

But first up, our Scratch Of The Day Segment: TMZ reports a bunch of blockheads for trying to snap selfies with a leopard, a sexually frustrated dolphin keeps attacking people in Japan and a woman is impaled by a swordfish. 

We wrap up another Man Eaters Grid. 

On todays episode of Man Eaters we cover one of the most disturbing animal attacks in modern history: the brutal slaying of Olga Moskalyova and her step father, Igor. What makes this story notable is during the bear attack that ended her life, Olga made several phone calls to her mother Tatiana.
