The Animal Who Shall Not Be Named

What a fun episode this week. We didn't intend to but all of our topics nicely tie together. Victoria starts us off with a creature feature on Bee Eaters. These fascinating birds eat stinging insects as a regular part of their diet and are unharmed by the process.  You know who else loves bees? The Brown Animal. Kirk talks about how the name for the large wild animal that eats honey was once taboo and the name "Bear" doesn't really mean bear.  Rachel rounds out the show with another in her running series of bears so this week we're learning about the Sloth Bear and their fabulous hairdos.  Be sure to send us an audio clip with your name, where you listen and a favorite topic you remember and you have a chance to be included in our 300th episode!
