211: Kea

We always said our final episode would be Pigeon so if this title doesn't make sense that's why. Also good luck finding a single fact about pigeons in this episode lmaooo. End of an era, gang! Thanks for sticking with us all these years and join us over on Patreon if you want to keep the party going.    Xoxo, gossip girl

There's something about a bug-eating bird that just checks all the boxes, you know? This week we ponder questions like How do weavers and pygmy falcons have a symbiotic relationship? What does it mean for egg-hatching to be asynchronous? Which back-to-school supply is closest in size to this bird? and Why does this little guy have so much riz? Happy National Zookeeper Week to all of our hard-working animal-loving babes out there - we see you and <3 you. Stay grimy!

Let's zoop back down to New Zealand and talk about another one of those sentient avocados they have flying around down there. This episode is about the Kea! Did you know it commits real crimes? Something to do with sheep, very bad.   We chat about this omnivorous cheeky parrot. Where are they found? Do they like hitting the gym? Are they the same thing as the kakapo?

Little monkey hour - come learn about this LITTLE GUY. We ponder questions like Where did the emperor tamarin get its name? How does low-key bullying play into their survival strategy? Did y'all have a Furby and how much did you torture it? and Was this monkey created in Waluigi's image?

Not gonna lie the intro is long on this one - if you are a louse only interested in louse information please skip about 12 minutes in.   We chat about LICE which is the plural of louse I already didn't know that at all. Are they a big deal? Are they full of disease? Are they easily spread? Tune in TO FIND OUT

The number one takeaway from this episode is that F&F are dumb, per usual. Enjoy! We answer questions about the crested coua such as If you're not that great at flying can you still live a life in the trees? What does it mean to be altricial? Where was Darwin born (warning: false facts ahead)? Where do I have to go to get a reversible toe? and Why does this chick have a lower lip tattoo and BULLSEYE in its mouth?

Welcome back to another fact *filled episode. We discuss the crocodile monitor which might be the longest lizard in the whole worl. THE WHOLE WORL. Don't tell the komodo dragon.   We chat about the Carrier's Constraint, whip tails, killing one woman, long school buses, and this big big boy.  

Weird teeth, weird teeth, weird teeth! Tune in to learn about the Crabeater seal, an Antarctic krill-lovin' pinniped. We dive into questions such as Does this thing eat crabs? What are Flora and Fauna's recurring nightmares? Where in the world does this seal end up when it gets lost? and What is life like out on the free-floating pack ice?

It ain't deja-vu baby we are here again. Only this time we focus on one lil creature instead of all the lil creatures. Come learn about the Alien Cinematic Universe, DnD, and the Challenger Deep

Is it an artichoke or a bug-eating boy? This mysterious animal is exposed in this week's episode and we have a hard time coming to terms with its tongue. What's going on with the scales? Why is this the most trafficked animal in the world? How does the pangolin put new meaning into the phrase "pelvic thrust"? We answer these questions and many more!
