Description

<p>Quick question: how much do you know about Slug penises? Not very much? Well, that&#39;s SUPER embarrassing for you...Thankfully, Yussef Rafik (children&#39;s TV presenter/zoologist/slug enthusiast) is here to tell you all you need to know about Slugs (genitalia and otherwise).</p> <p>The human experience with Slugs can probably be best described as one of &quot;disgust&quot;, right? No one is happy to see a Slug - not on their plants, under their shoe as they step out into the garden, and certainly not in their HOMES. But Slugs are actually incredible creatures and are super important for our survival, so tune in to hear Alice and Yussef talking about why we need them, where the word &quot;sluggish&quot; comes from, and also why you should NEVER EVER eat a slug, not even on a dare from your friends. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Our charity of the week this week is the incredible Bug Life - a charity Alice has actually mentioned on the show but their work is so vital, it bears repeating. Looking after the little things that run the world, go on to their website to learn more about how to help bugs and also what awesome species we have here in the UK, at www.buglife.org.uk.</p> <p><br></p> <p>This episode of Asshole Animals with Alice is sponsored by the fabulously and delightfully whimsical Button and Squirt - who are helping you and your little ones learn about the natural world in the most fun way possible!
