  Animals can be like us in a lot of ways, sometimes they just don’t get along to the point of fighting and sometimes death. In this episode we examine different animal matches and witness a boxing match between a cobra and a mongoose where you decide the victor. Also have you ever wondered how an insect breathes? Find out in our UTM segment!

In this 10 min snippet we talk about shark attacks. Don't worry, we try to dispel the fears out there. Do you know the difference between venom and poison? Find out! We talk about 'killer' selfies.

From predators to prey, land animals to fish, deception plays an important role in nature. While some blend in, others play dead or appear to be more dangerous than they are, some practice sound mimicry. We also reveal how chameleons really change colors from a discovery by the scientific community THIS WEEK that changed everything! You’ll learn about an animal disguised as poop,  and also hear Clint put an end to Daniel’s rap.  In our UTM segment, we put a naked mole rat under the microscope. These ugly critters are quite incredible.

Join us as we chat with Senior Science Editor Dr. Eleanor Spicer Rice (who literally wrote the book on ants!) about an invasive ant species with a powerful sting that could be making a destructive path to your backyard, how ant trails work, the benefits of ants, how you can become a citizen scientist, and more. Then Clint and Daniel somehow put a hippo under their microscope in the UTM segment. Finally we ask; can overpopulation be solved if we live like ants? Stay tuned to the final minutes to find out!
