Summary
Today on the show, we review the Animal Crossing game from a scientific perspective. We’ll be fact-checking some Blathers facts about evolutionary biology! Can goldfish grow bigger than a foot? Do they have teeth in their throats? Can tarantulas shoot butt hair at you? Discover this and more as we answer the age old question: what is Blathers the owl hiding? We attempt to answer all these questions with our guests Maggie Mae Fisher and Adam Ganser.
Footnotes:
- GIANT GOLDFISH
- Pharyngeal/Throat Teeth! Yikes!
- Bitterlings Spawning Using a Mussel (video)
- Coconut Octopus (Video)!
