Zoos And Brews

Rachel talks about how some hybrid species happened due to human greed or error, but also because animals in the wild just get hella curious. Caitlin talks about how hybrid species get their names, some whale hybrids, and pitches an animated movie or children's book that probably shouldn't happen. Rachel talks about dog breeding (?), human chimera-ism, and shares a real-life encounter she had with a coyote. Caitlin tells us that  there's a sea slug that is solar-powered. Then there's fun mythological hybrids, like horse mermaids and soul-eating Egyptian gods.

In honor of a specific movie coming out this week, Caitlin & Rachel scream cat facts at you until one of them dies. JUST KIDDING. But cat facts (and champagne) are involved! Big cats, small cats, extinct cats, endangered cats, gay cats, mythological cats! 

Don't forget to visit us at our website to see our research for the episode, and to check out our Nonprofit Spotlight of the Week!

Caitlin faces her fears and talks of her mortal enemies: sharks. Rachel introduces a cute-but-very-creepy lemur. Then there's some discussion about very creepy looking and/or deadly bugs, and the zombie sex fungus attacking one specific bug right now.

Coming in December 2019: Zoos and Brews, a podcast where two tipsy friends attempt to one-up each other in Weird and Wacky Animal Facts, with hilarious results.
