I cry.

As well as a cervidology episode about deer and a beaver episode about how and why rodent teeth are that striking sunset color and how one side of the tooth is iron enriched and tougher, leading to a kind of shiv sharpening happening on those two front incisors.

And for patrons thirsting for more knowledge like Sonia Bird, Alexandra Rambeau, Lulani, and Chris Curious, please report to the beaver and the rat episodes at once.

So many good questions about a topic that none of us knew existed until today.

Can't believe you're doing this without caffeine.

I'm not going to lie to you.

Hats off to patron Sean, who prompted me to learn that marsupials are packing 40 to 50 teeth with the extinct marsupial or pouch lion thylacoleo having weirdo, beautiful rodent-like front fangs.
