Attention animal lovers, haters and undecideds.

Russell Kane here, Homo Sapien.

Just waddling onto your feed to squawk about my show,

Evil Animals, the zoologically obsessed sibling to evil genius. With evil animals,

I'm diving trunk first into the wild world of nature's most misunderstood creatures. Are they villains?
