Summary

The blue shark is built like a super skinny airplane, can have an amazing amount of babies at a time, and has booger-like stuff in its pores. What's not cool about that? Thanks to Sawyer for this listener request! We're running low on listener suggestions! Luckily have about 6003 suggestions of our own, but we like yours better! Send them our way! Thanks to all our listeners, and for the lovely reception our podcast has received this past week.
