Hi, everyone.

Welcome to Ticka to Happen here, a podcast where I talk to Molly Conger about animals. Hi, Molly. I'm so excited to learn about bears. I've been thinking about it all week. That's fantastic good. I hope you've had good bad thoughts. Because there are people who think about bears a lot, and I think it's not good for their mental well-being. I was trying to find if I took a picture of that time a baby bear was like standing on the median strip outside my old apartment and I couldn't find it. So I was thinking about him. Okay. Yeah, I hope he's okay. I hope he's found a better place to be than the median strip. I bought a show and tell item today. Molly can see it. no one else can.

Oh, okay.

And he's going to fight another dude with them in order to get laid. So that fell off in a fight. So he's just walking around with one right now, looking at the uniform. Oh, he sheds. Okay, he shed them. Yeah, they shed them and regenerate them. Okay. Like this is how they get bigger and more robust analysts each time.

But they put a lot of a caloric energy into growing these. And that seems like that would really take a lot out of you. Yeah. Well, then they get horny and fight with other male deer for quite a while. No, those are antlers, not horns. that's correct but the hornie is not related to them

uh yeah

they go
