Tooth and Claw: True Stories of Animal Attacks

On this episode, Wes gathered up a bunch of notable animal attacks that hit the news over the past month and discusses them with Jeff and Mike. Afterwards, the crew talks about the Animals vs. Humans poll that's been making the rounds online recently, and it goes off the rails pretty quickly. Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy the show! 

On this episode, we are joined by the one and only Cindy Larson, the greatest biological mother Jeff and Wes have ever had. Wes prepared two  stories of incredible motherly strength and instinct, and delves into a little bit of the science behind the "mother bear" behavior seen not only from animals, but humans too. Happy Mother's Day everyone! 

On this episode, Wes has an only-slightly creepy, a little sad, and surprisingly endearing story about a woman, her family, and a spider. Jeff gets inappropriate again, and Mike follows suit.  We hope you guys enjoy the show!

Wes and the gang wrap up the story of the Lions of Tsavo after first getting embroiled in the age old debate of what’s better, ice powers or tree powers. We hope you enjoy it! Thanks for listening!

Wes came extra prepared this time to go over the much-requested, long-awaited story of the Tsavo lions. These two lions truly caused about as much havoc as any large predators in history, and brought an entire railway operation to a complete halt! We know you guys are going to love this one.

Wes takes us out to the ocean this time to tell a tale of a shipwreck and shark attack. That's two awful things, but Jeff musters up enough confidence to feel that he could survive the situation just fine. Meanwhile, Mike learns and then uses a new word. Thanks for listening everyone! We hope you enjoy the episode. And please, if you have a moment, leave us a rating and review the show over on Apple Podcasts, it really helps us out a lot!

On this episode, Wes takes us through one of the more bizarre and mysterious animal attacks the show has discussed thus far, involving a man named Ron and way too many monitor lizards. Jeff gets excited talking about lizard genitalia, and Mike ponders the possibility of the reptilians being responsible. Thanks for listening!

Wes gives us all a glimpse into the horrors of killer whale captivity, sharing the story of one particularly mistreated orca and the unfortunate demise of three different people at his hands. Or fins. Teeth, maybe? Jeff's lasting memory of Free Willy is of a cake that no one else can recall, and Mike calls out Tilikum for cheating at tug-of-war. Thanks for listening!

Jeff takes over for the first Tooth and Claw mini, which is something we will be doing every other week from now on and releasing exclusively for those who subscribe to our Patreon, which you can find at https://www.patreon.com/toothandclawpodcast. Jeff has some incredibly bizarre, Hitchcock-ian stories to share about some persistent crows and other birds who have taken issue with humankind. Wes forgets what his favorite bird is, which is understandable because he has like 70 favorite birds. Mike gets a trivia question right, despite the odds. We experienced some technical issues while recording, so please forgive us for some random volume swings you may hear. Thanks again for listening, we hope you enjoy the episode!
