Folks, beauty's all around us if you just open your eyes, provided they're not filled with blood.

Slow lorises.

Allison Clark and Emily Z wanted to know, Allison asked, pygmy slow loris, are they really the only venomous mammal?

Emily Z said, can we talk about how slow lorises have venomous elbows?

What?

This was news to me also.

We do have a fresh platypus episode for you.

And in it, we go into depth on these venom spurs and exactly how bad they hurt, which is like a bitch.

And also most people who get barbed and like crumpled physiologically from these platypus frankincreatures, they were actually trying to help them, like scoot them out of the road, only to find that Mother Nature is as cruel as she is funny.

They go to help and they get so barbed, so latered.

So when you say poisonous, like if a slow loris gets eaten, would that venom get denatured in their stomach or would it cause like illness or like would it just taste, you know, a deterrent to biting your fingernails, you put like really bitter stuff on it?

That's good to know if there's any vampires.

You just put like the gnarliest cologne on your neck and they're like, no.

Or some garlic, right?

You're good to go.

We have a vampire episode.

It's two parts.

In it, we talk a lot about necks and garlic.

Andy Pepper, Aaron Burbridge, Brittany Briceño wanted to know, Brittany asked, I've seen videos of killdeers pretending to have a broken wing in order to distract and lure predators away from their nests.

So wild.
