0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome back to Tooth and Claw, the show where we talk about the most intense, real wild animal attacks,
0:05.7	and what we can learn about how to avoid, prevent, and survive them.
0:09.5	We're going back to our roots this time with an episode on polar bears, which is what Wes refers to as,
0:15.0	quote, probably his favorite animal. Which is what he says about every animal, but what would you expect from a
0:20.9	professional wildlife biologist, right? He does love bears though. Quick example, I once saw Wes
0:26.6	name the flavor of every color of gummy bear straight from his memory. Craziest thing I ever saw.
0:32.1	This story really is a good one though, as far as cautionary tales go, so give it a listen before
0:37.1	your next family outing up to the Arctic Circle. Also help us out by subscribing to the podcast and
0:42.5	rating it. It does give us a boost in the almighty and unknowable podcast algorithm. Thank you.

1:16.1	It was great. I spent a lot of time sleeping. Yeah. The only symptom I developed with COVID was
1:23.2	being overwhelmingly tired. You're a pretty tired guy to begin with too. True. I'm always napping.
1:28.4	Yeah, so I just happened my crazy. Yeah, I wanted to really get into the hibernation state of mind
1:34.2	because we're talking about polar bears. But first, I actually wanted to do a quick update
1:39.2	because last episode we mentioned that we were going to watch Jurassic Games. Right.
1:43.2	So guys, do we recommend the movie? I do not recommend the movie. I recommend watching the first half hour
1:52.0	40 minutes. I'd recommend watching the trailer. Oh yeah, that's a good. Yeah.
1:56.4	Well, yeah, I heard some stories about how they mistreated the dinosaurs on set.
