Do you want to see into the future?

Do you want to understand an invisible force that's shaping your life?

Do you want to experience the frontiers of what makes us human?

On tech stuff, we travel from the minds of Congo to the surface of Mars,

from conversations with Nobel Prize winners to the depths of TikTok,

to ask burning questions about technology.

From high tech to low culture and everywhere in between, join us.

Listen to tech stuff on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to Creature Future production production of IHeart Radio.

I'm your host of Mini Parasites, Katie Golden.

I studied psychology and evolutionary biology, and today on the show, hot fuzz.

We're talking about fluffy animals who manage hairdos without hair, per se.

That's right. These are furies without the fur,

critters that look really petable, but you probably shouldn't.

So how do you get fuzzy without being mammalian?

Discover this and more as we answer the age-old question.

Are moths just tiny flying bunnies?

Joining to, joining me today is friend of the show, friend to all animals, and host of

just the zoo of us as well as spellbound and gag.

Ellen Weatherford, welcome.
