This episode we cover the largest snake on the planet... the anaconda.  Anacondas are native to South America in the Amazon Rainforest.  They are very large snakes with sharp teeth and tons of strength, enough to constrict and kill large mammals.  Their top size is heavily debated, some believe they've seen anacondas up to 60ft long.  Anacondas are subject to the most extreme size exaggerations of...

This week we cover one of the rarest and most elusive animals on the planet... the snow leopard.  These big cats inhabit crazy high elevations in Central Asia.  They are one of the coolest animals we have covered yet, and man are they impressive.  Extremely adapted to the high altitude, cold weather living.  We also have Dave react to probably the most insane wildlife footage we have ever seen......

This week we have part two of the famous true crime like story, Night of the Grizzlies.  We jump right into where we left off with both of our attack stories.  We find out what goes down during the attack at Trout Lake on Michele Koons.  We also find out what happens at the Granite Park Chalet where the first bear attack took place.  We will meet a cast of characters from both stories.  Unfortunat...

This week, we have one of the best true crime stories involving animals... This is Night of the Grizzlies. We go back in time to 1967, to Glacier National Park. Back then rules for bears were pretty lax, to say the least. Tourists would come from all over to watch grizzlies battle for the best garbage. From when the park was founded in 1910 there had never been a fatal grizzly attack. But on one f...

This week we go to the ocean and cover attack stories from one of mans most fearful predators... sharks.  These are stories that have all happened in the last few months and most actually take place Down Under, in Australia.  For some reason there has been a surge of shark attacks there as well as 4 recent deaths, we cover them all.  We also are joined by a special guest Dayna Bodtcher, she is an...

This week we have part two of invasive species... but this week we focus on invasive species in a certain place.  This might be one of the strangest most bizarre places on the planet... Florida. Florida is home to some of the most notable invasive species in the country. These invasive species have either been released by pet owners or escaped facilities.  They are now wrecking havoc all over the...

This week we take a look at some species that do not belong. An invasive species is an organism that is not native to a particular area. They can cause great environmental and economic harm to the new area.  To be invasive, a species must adapt to the new area easily.  It must reproduce quickly.  It must harm property, the economy or native plants and animals of the region.  Many invasive species...
