Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature, feature production of iHeartRadio. I'm your host
Speaker 1: of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology and evolutionary biology,
Speaker 1: and today on the show, it's Creature. We we're bringing
Speaker 1: you some spooky species, some foolish genuses, tales that will
Speaker 1: chill you to the beat, and boat from undead fish,
Speaker 1: tailor rodents and flying zombies. These real stories will send
Speaker 1: shivers down your spine if you have one. Discover this
Speaker 1: and more as we answer the age old question can
Speaker 1: you still be fashionable? From beyond the gray? Joining me
Speaker 1: today is front of the show, one of the maniacal
Speaker 1: minds behind the website one nine hundred Hot Dog and
Speaker 1: co host of the podcast The Dogaga the Zone, Robert Brockway.
Speaker 2: Welcome, Hey, thank you for pronouncing all of the letters.
Speaker 2: Nobody ever does that, and I'm offended every time you did.
Speaker 2: Forget nine thousand. We put a nine thousand on there
Speaker 2: to make it extra hard.
Speaker 1: To search, as anyone who listens to this podcast can
Speaker 1: attest to them. I'm great at pronouncing things, especially Latin
Speaker 1: names for stuff, and it comes out as a beautiful
Speaker 1: letters and vowel. Salad from my mouth.
Speaker 2: Doggus zonicus from the Latin for the area of dogs.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me for a spooky spook aween.
Speaker 1: Spook aween. I should have called you rob Boot. There
Speaker 1: it is. Remember when we all did that with our names.
Speaker 1: That was fun. That was innocent times.
Speaker 2: That was Twitter right before uh, before it fascism.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a more innocent time. There's there's uh, there is Sean.
Speaker 1: I guess I'll let them in.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just let him in.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's here. He says he's here,
Speaker 1: but it's just it's his ghost, his spooky ghost.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's what he's doing. He's doing a bit.
Speaker 1: He's doing a spooky ghost bit. I feel like we're
Speaker 1: gonna find we're gonna like reading the newspaper that he died,
Speaker 1: but he joined the podcast after he died.
Speaker 2: Who was Shawn Baby? That's a game. I haven't heard
Speaker 2: a ny on twenty years. There has been dead the
Speaker 2: whole time.
Speaker 1: There hasn't been a shop Baby here since the Great
Speaker 1: Bloodening of nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 2: Some say you can still hear him out there on
Speaker 2: that old innet.
Speaker 1: What's this we've got. I'm sensing something it's coming through
Speaker 1: through the fog of my seance globe with my crystal ball.
Speaker 1: A figure emerges. Who is this? Is this the other
Speaker 1: co host of the podcast, the Dogogacase his own and
Speaker 1: one of the other maniacal minds behind the website one
Speaker 1: nine hundred Hot Dog. Could this be the legendary ghost
Speaker 1: whisper ghost Tickler shambaby dot com.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm I'm the legendary ghost tickler. That's what people
Speaker 3: know me. Yes, thank you. It's a pleasure to be
Speaker 3: back to tickle the ghosts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we we we are truly shocked. We reached
Speaker 1: out to you through this sance. I thought it was
Speaker 1: a scam, but here you are.
Speaker 2: You have to do it in a ghost voice whole podcast,
Speaker 2: ghost Voice, ghost.
Speaker 1: Voice wherever that tickles Sean booms, sham boo, baby, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 1: We are talking about spooky animals on this podcast, this
Speaker 1: time on account of it being the spookiest Halloween of all. Thanks.
Speaker 3: They like getting tickled.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the ghost Tickler on to catch a ghost where
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, ghosts, why do you have a seat
Speaker 1: over here? I'm gonna tickle you.
Speaker 3: And then I'm like, uh this Semas for me. I
Speaker 3: was here to show them the dangers of drinking six
Speaker 3: semas by yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was good. Rest in peace God. I forgot
Speaker 1: that guy's name, Chris Hansen. Chris Hansen, he's.
Speaker 3: Still or were you talking about one of the predators
Speaker 3: you're touching? Butts? That that was the man's name he
Speaker 3: had I legally changed. Yeah, we all should have seen
Speaker 3: it coming.
Speaker 1: Ripping peace. I love those funny tombstones they put up
Speaker 1: on Halloween where they're like ripping' peace mister. But yeah,
Speaker 1: see more asses.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got some of those in our neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I meet a lot of squares now as a parent, Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of You know, it's hard to like
Speaker 3: pick your friends group when when all your kids go
Speaker 3: to the same school, and so some of my daughter's
Speaker 3: friend's parents are like, oh, yeah, I gotta see are
Speaker 3: zany tombstones this year?
Speaker 1: Have you ever have you ever gone to a haunted
Speaker 1: house where they put out bowls of cold spaghetti and
Speaker 1: they're like, ooh.
Speaker 3: Too terrifying spaghetti. As a ghost tickler, I legally am
Speaker 3: not allowed near a bowl of cold spaghetti.
Speaker 2: Have you ever just busted the fuck up at one
Speaker 2: of those tombstones, like you want to be too good
Speaker 2: for it because you're a comedian, but then you're like, no, never,
Speaker 2: classic clic.
Speaker 3: The second I felt that coming on, I would kick
Speaker 3: it over.
Speaker 1: I split my guts open. And when I saw tombstone
Speaker 1: and it said, uh, here lies the ghosts dead person.
Speaker 3: Mister Butts, that one's pretty good.
Speaker 1: That one's yes, that is good.
Speaker 2: Today we are a square test and I caught both
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, today we are talking about animals
Speaker 1: who are spooky spooky ghosts. We are first going to
Speaker 1: talk about a fish that can do skin magic from
Speaker 1: beyond the grave. This is based on a great article
Speaker 1: in the New York Times by Elizabeth and Brown or
Speaker 1: should I say Elizabeth and boo around. Okay, I'll stop
Speaker 1: that starting now. So, this is a fish called the hogfish,
Speaker 1: the humble hogfish it is. It is a fish that
Speaker 1: can do necrotic skin magic.
Speaker 2: So doing some hog hogskin magic on this fish.
Speaker 1: Hogskin magic, uh, tossing the old hogskin fish around. So
Speaker 1: hogfish are found in the Atlantic Ocean. They are a
Speaker 1: species of wrass that is this sort of patchy cream
Speaker 1: and rusty orange color. It is a boxy, flat, sort
Speaker 1: of trapezoidal shape with long dorsal spines. It's called a
Speaker 1: hogfish due to an elongated hog like snout, which it
Speaker 1: uses as a shovel to dig for small crustaceans in
Speaker 1: the ocean floor. They're not small fish. They can grow
Speaker 1: to be around twenty five pounds that's around eleven kilograms,
Speaker 1: and they can grow for three feet long, which is
Speaker 1: almost a meter, So you know, they are interesting fish.
Speaker 1: I have sent you a photo of this fish. It
Speaker 1: is on its own, not that scary unless you're scared
Speaker 1: of fish, in which case it is pretty scary given
Speaker 1: that it is a fish.
Speaker 2: Definitely definitely scared of fish, especially especially hogfish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. The face is a little un settling,
Speaker 1: you know, like that scene in Beetlejuice where Alec Baldwin
Speaker 1: kind of like stretches his face out. It looks a
Speaker 1: little like that.
Speaker 2: He looks almost exactly like the guy that did piercings
Speaker 2: at the at the Central Organ Mall in nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 2: He's got the three little spikes, the weird beady eyes.
Speaker 3: Big old that did your belly button.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and amongst amongst other things.
Speaker 1: Did he Did he do a good job or did
Speaker 1: you get like a belly button infection?
Speaker 2: Well, the belly button was fine. He actually did a
Speaker 2: piercing called the hogfish. Ah, yeah, that's that's left over.
Speaker 2: I lost some sensitivity that was big in the eighties.
Speaker 1: So you know, this fish, it's uh, you know, pretty
Speaker 1: typical fish stuff. But they can I mean, they're interesting
Speaker 1: because when they are born, all hogfish are female, and
Speaker 1: they are what is called a sequential hermaphrodite, meaning they
Speaker 1: will change their sex as they mature, depending on environmental conditions.
Speaker 1: So they become male when they become large, or when
Speaker 1: there is a political opportunity such as there being no
Speaker 1: dominant males in the group, and then they become they
Speaker 1: switch their sex from female to male and becomes it
Speaker 1: become a dominant breeding male. So you know, this is
Speaker 1: so far typical fish stuff, very normal, very normal.
Speaker 2: Stuff for Yeah, exactly, like mayor a political opportunity.
Speaker 3: I used to do the same thing in the fraternity. Yeah,
Speaker 3: sometimes convenient.
Speaker 1: Look you know what they elect, they elect their mayor
Speaker 1: and then it becomes sexually male.
Speaker 3: So exactly, I triple in size, Yeah, I get much
Speaker 3: more masculine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get uh you start like, uh being interested in sports?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that a guy thing?
Speaker 3: What I like to do for my sports? I like
Speaker 3: to take my snout and dig in the ocean floor. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then I'll eat crabs.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, such a guy thing.
Speaker 3: So with the.
Speaker 2: With the bros.
Speaker 1: So another interesting thing these fish do is they change
Speaker 1: their color. They can change the color of their skin
Speaker 1: in seconds, from say, being a patchy, rusty orange to
Speaker 1: brown to white depending on their surroundings. Surroundings, they will
Speaker 1: change the skin color.
Speaker 3: I have a fish question. Can they mix and match?
Speaker 3: Can you be like I'm going to be a rusty
Speaker 3: lady today or a white fella?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 3: Are you locked in?
Speaker 2: Always easier on the white fellas, always easier?
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean they they're The ability to change
Speaker 1: their color and their sex are not really super related.
Speaker 1: They they can both change their sex and change their color.
Speaker 1: Changing their sex is more of a like permanent thing,
Speaker 1: a change that they will undergo if there is a
Speaker 1: male power vacuum. Changing their color is something they can
Speaker 1: do anytime pretty much, and they do it to camouflage
Speaker 1: with their environment, so trying to blend in, so you know,
Speaker 1: they they can't. Unfortunately, they can't like switch back and
Speaker 1: forth between male and female whenever they want within seconds.
Speaker 1: But that would be rad and it would be.
Speaker 2: I love that it works, like like picking classes in Overwatch.
Speaker 2: Like just nobody's nobody's playing Boy. Really, nobody's playing Boy, right,
Speaker 2: I guess I'm not good at Boy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need one Boy.
Speaker 1: We need one Boy. Does anyone want to play Boy
Speaker 1: this time?
Speaker 2: You know it's not fun.
Speaker 1: I played Boy last time. It's your turn.
Speaker 3: First playing Overwatch. I was just this is just like
Speaker 3: being a fish. Been there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, so they can change much about themselves. Again,
Speaker 1: this is not like particularly unusual for a marine life.
Speaker 1: There is there are a lot of marine animals that
Speaker 1: can change their skin color, although this is not super
Speaker 1: common for fish. And what is odd is that researchers
Speaker 1: have noticed that hogfish are able to change their skin
Speaker 1: color from beyond the grave. So this is where I
Speaker 1: get spooky from a watery grave, because this is the
Speaker 1: ocean and it's.
Speaker 2: All water by rusty hog.
Speaker 1: So a marine biologist Lorian Skware god no waker Laurian
Speaker 1: Schweikert noticed a speared hogfish on the deck of a
Speaker 1: fishing boat was still able to change its skin color
Speaker 1: to match the deck of the boat, upon which it
Speaker 1: wasn't paled.
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, did we check her for paint scientists? You
Speaker 3: can't trust him, that's what they tell me in church.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was, I believe there was. This must have
Speaker 1: been in the eighteen hundreds or early nineteen hundreds. There
Speaker 1: was like some experiment with like mouse skin, grafting skin
Speaker 1: up from one mouse to the other mouse. But then
Speaker 1: it turned out they just colored the mice with like
Speaker 1: a pin, so they colored in black markings on the mouse.
Speaker 1: So that does happen sometimes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's where Steven Stagall learned his hair life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. He glues mice to the front of
Speaker 3: his face.
Speaker 1: Right, it's like face off, but you just kind of
Speaker 1: scribble in those those Nicholas Cage eyebrows, face over your
Speaker 1: own face, straw Nicholas cage face in sharpie on your face.
Speaker 3: Special effects.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, fortunately this seems to be absolutely real. She
Speaker 1: and a group, this marine biologist Laurence Swikert and a
Speaker 1: group of researchers studied the skin and found that underneath
Speaker 1: the chromatophores, so chromatophores are color changing cells. Underneath these chromatophors,
Speaker 1: there's a cell type that contains light detecting proteins, So
Speaker 1: this is the first time that light detecting cells have
Speaker 1: been identified in the skin of a vertebrate, a vertebrate
Speaker 1: being something that's got a spine. It is similar to
Speaker 1: the light detecting cells found in the skin of cephalopods
Speaker 1: like squid like octopus is clolefish, but this is the
Speaker 1: first time these kinds of cells have been found in
Speaker 1: a vertebrate, and the positioning of the light sensory cells
Speaker 1: underneath the chromatophors may be strategic. So the chromatophor, these
Speaker 1: color changing cells are typically a reddish brown color which
Speaker 1: may filter out the abundant blue light in the ocean,
Speaker 1: and by filtering the excess blue light, they may be
Speaker 1: more able to accurate the light detecting cells underneath. The
Speaker 1: color changing cells may then be able to accurately detect
Speaker 1: the color of their surroundings with this blue light filter
Speaker 1: and be able to better match the coloration where they
Speaker 1: are and camouflage better.
Speaker 3: And this works completely independent from like the fish that
Speaker 3: it's living on.
Speaker 1: This is what's weird, right, So after the fish dies,
Speaker 1: even though the brain has ceased to function. These cells
Speaker 1: continue to function for some time before cellular decay takes place,
Speaker 1: so an effect, the skin lives on longer than the
Speaker 1: actual fish.
Speaker 2: So science says the skin it's haunted.
Speaker 1: It's haunted, haunted fish.
Speaker 3: Taken away from this. Yeah, so if I was to
Speaker 3: make a tow pay of this fish skin, I could
Speaker 3: have like hair that just changed color. Yeah, for are
Speaker 3: we talking like hours, days the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: I don't know how long your fish skin to pay
Speaker 1: would last, whether it be hours or days. I would
Speaker 1: say not that many days, and it would certainly would
Speaker 1: offer a kind of unique perfume. But otherwise I think
Speaker 1: it'd be very fetching.
Speaker 3: But for a special night out, like it would last
Speaker 3: through that for.
Speaker 1: A special night out, Like, well, that's.
Speaker 3: Good, it's good news. You're giving me great news, Kating.
Speaker 1: You know, if you want a color changing fish skin
Speaker 1: to pay for a special night I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: you can't do that. We actually have used fish skin
Speaker 1: to treat burns in human beings. So like using fish
Speaker 1: skin that has been especially treated, you know, and I
Speaker 1: believe disinfected, and then you put the fish skin over
Speaker 1: a burn wound. The fish skin helps to lock in
Speaker 1: moisture and help with healing by being sort of a
Speaker 1: a It's almost like a better bandage that is more
Speaker 1: gentle on damaged skin. So you know, is there a
Speaker 1: future promising? Right? Is there a future in which we
Speaker 1: can choose instead of having like a wig or to
Speaker 1: pay to graft fish skin onto our heads and maybe
Speaker 1: keep it alive with our own blood supply without violently
Speaker 1: rejecting it. Maybe we are going to take a quick
Speaker 1: break while I called police, and when we get back,
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about carnivorous mice. So you
Speaker 1: guys remember that book Buncula about the vampire bunny. Yes,
Speaker 1: that book was kind of unsatisfying to me because I
Speaker 1: think it was like the cat was paranoid about this
Speaker 1: vampire bunny and kept trying to kill it, but because
Speaker 1: it's a cat, it was stupid. So it thought like
Speaker 1: a steak meant like a surloin type steak, and like
Speaker 1: put a steak on top of the bunny and the
Speaker 1: bunny was like what And then it was like, hey,
Speaker 1: you were too judgmental, cat. But also it's vague about
Speaker 1: whether or not the bunny is a dracula, So I
Speaker 1: don't know. I didn't understand the books so well. But
Speaker 1: the point, yeah, the point is there are mice that
Speaker 1: are basically like carnivorous vampires that are actually causing mass
Speaker 1: destruction and killing innocent bird birds.
Speaker 2: Can we prove those birds are innocent?
Speaker 1: You know, birds are innocent until proven guilty.
Speaker 2: Robert your nanny bird state ethics.
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm just being justice simple bird lawyer. But
Speaker 1: I thought in the country of the United States, birds
Speaker 1: was innocent.
Speaker 2: Toll prove all birds are guilty.
Speaker 1: Actually, this is not happening in the United States. This
Speaker 1: is happening and Marion Island, it's a small island south
Speaker 1: of the tip of Africa. In the eighteen hundreds, French
Speaker 1: seal hunters trapesed about this Marian island and went about
Speaker 1: killing seals, disrupting things, making croissants out of like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, seals, I guess. And they brought with them
Speaker 1: French house mice who quickly started running around the island
Speaker 1: and you know, making themselves real comfortable. And now they
Speaker 1: are still invasive on these islands. Even though this island
Speaker 1: is not inhabited by humans, it is still inhabited by
Speaker 1: the mice. That the French sailors left on.
Speaker 2: The island colonialist vampire mice. Yeah, no, word of mice.
Speaker 1: No mouse is an island. But a bunch of mice
Speaker 1: can be on an island and be vampires. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I have a cross stitch live laugh vampire mice. So
Speaker 1: warm weather has caused the invasive mouse population to explode, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: not explode as in a fiery combustion, but to explode
Speaker 1: in number. And the mice must compete for food with
Speaker 1: a limited supply of plants and insects, so they have
Speaker 1: started to devel up a taste for blood, for the
Speaker 1: blood of birds.
Speaker 2: Do anybody have a vampire mouse? Impressed? I don't have that.
Speaker 2: I don't have that.
Speaker 3: I a mose. I don't belong on this island. Blo.
Speaker 1: It's me Mickey mouse spire, and I want to suck
Speaker 1: your blood. And soon.
Speaker 2: I'm going to suck your blood.
Speaker 1: And then sue you.
Speaker 3: Now and Francis.
Speaker 2: Litigious colonialist vampire mouse, you buly sue you, exploding ligous.
Speaker 1: So yes, these mice, uh what I.
Speaker 3: Said, Travian madam s.
Speaker 1: Okay, So these mice uh want to feed on the
Speaker 1: blood of these poor birds, These sea birds. There are
Speaker 1: millions of sea birds who live and breed on the island,
Speaker 1: including albatross. This school's king penguins, gintoo penguins, crawls, is shags,
Speaker 1: and many more. Uh so a lot of sweet, cute
Speaker 1: yeah penguins.
Speaker 3: When you said they're drinking bird blood, I was like,
Speaker 3: I don't care, go crazy mice. But now you're talking
Speaker 3: king penguins.
Speaker 1: No, now it's pain.
Speaker 3: Something has to be done. Yeah, something has to be done.
Speaker 1: There's something about penguins where it's like, I think humans
Speaker 1: are so biased towards bipeds. We're like you, you walk
Speaker 1: on your two feet, and you don't.
Speaker 3: They're tummy, which is even cuter.
Speaker 1: You got a tummy. Any any animal that has a tummy,
Speaker 1: we empathize with animal.
Speaker 2: Any animal that wears a suit, that wears a little
Speaker 2: suits and you can dress up. Then you're you're okay.
Speaker 3: My I mean every day is a black tie event
Speaker 3: for these tummy sliding best friends.
Speaker 1: I think the tummy theory is strong, right because some
Speaker 1: of our most hated animals, like wasps, have the opposite
Speaker 1: of a tummy, and so we don't like them. But
Speaker 1: they got a tummy, then we like them. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: these are cute birds and it's an important area for
Speaker 1: them to breed in, and so, uh, the fact that
Speaker 1: these mice have developed a taste for bird blood is bad.
Speaker 1: And you might be asking, how does a mouse eat
Speaker 1: a bird to death? Well, it does it very slowly
Speaker 1: and horribly. So the mice will attack chicks or I
Speaker 1: got this.
Speaker 3: If they merge to form one man shaped mouse, yeah,
Speaker 3: and grab it with its swarm of mouse, swarm of
Speaker 3: mice mocking our human hands.
Speaker 1: I like the logic of the mouse forming like a human,
Speaker 1: giant human shape, Like it's they're like, what's what's more
Speaker 1: powerful than one mouse? It's a bunch of mice. What's
Speaker 1: more powerful than a bunch of mice? A human made
Speaker 1: out of a bunch of mice? And then we just
Speaker 1: punched the birds. Well that would almost be more humane
Speaker 1: than what these mice do. So the mice will attack
Speaker 1: these birds. They attack both adults and chicks, and they
Speaker 1: will just chew away at the bird's skin over days.
Speaker 1: So yeah, like the mouse can just like chew away
Speaker 1: at a bird. And the birds have not co evolved
Speaker 1: with these mice, so they don't really know what to do.
Speaker 1: And it's not like these are some of the more
Speaker 1: how do I put this gently, These aren't the brightest birds.
Speaker 1: These aren't like, you know, I talk a lot about
Speaker 1: how smart parrots and corvids are. These are you know,
Speaker 1: they're sweet, they are cute, but maybe they're not the
Speaker 1: most intelligent birds out there.
Speaker 2: And so how would these birds know that they don't
Speaker 2: like their skin being eaten. They've never had the opportunity, yeah,
Speaker 2: in their revolution, to have their skin eaten, so they
Speaker 2: don't know not to like it. Of course.
Speaker 3: I saw I think it was a David Attenborough special
Speaker 3: where it was one of those snakes that has like
Speaker 3: a bug tail, and so he's like wiggling his little bugtail.
Speaker 3: Birds like, oh hey, look at that delicious bug. And
Speaker 3: the bird comes over to get the bug, and the
Speaker 3: snake bites it and totally whiffs, and like the birds
Speaker 3: like did that did the back end of that bug
Speaker 3: just turn into a giant snake and try to bite me?
Speaker 3: And then it sat there hovering, and then it went
Speaker 3: back to get the bug. Like that's how dumb birds are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some birds. Look, we can't generalize to all.
Speaker 2: Birds, but some birds hashag, not all birds.
Speaker 1: Hashag not all birds, but yes, all all fish are
Speaker 1: you know, like they they Yeah, But actually that that
Speaker 1: snake you're talking about is a viper that lives in
Speaker 1: the mountains of Iran.
Speaker 2: And it's cool that I remember that on these birds.
Speaker 1: It's cool I remember that about it, but I don't
Speaker 1: remember the name of it. But it is a snake
Speaker 1: that has a tail that looks kind of like a spider,
Speaker 1: and then it wiggles it around and then a bird
Speaker 1: will like be like ooh, spider, and then the snake
Speaker 1: tries to get it, and it's like, oh, that was scary.
Speaker 1: Ooh a spider, and then the snake tries to get
Speaker 1: it again.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So it's super easy mode if you already have
Speaker 3: a spider tail, I feel like you already have one up.
Speaker 3: And then the fact that the bird does not care
Speaker 3: if you like miss a few times while you're fighting
Speaker 3: at him.
Speaker 1: Spooky, come on, spooky Halloween tip. If you just have
Speaker 1: a bunch of like fake spiders in your pockets, you
Speaker 1: can just throw them at people and escape, Like if
Speaker 1: you're in a tough.
Speaker 2: Situation and something the birds attack them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you're like, uh, spiders, Now you've got
Speaker 1: spiders on you. Then you have time to get away
Speaker 1: while all the birds try to eat those spiders smart yeah,
Speaker 1: so uh yeah. The mice will basically just like sneak
Speaker 1: up on a bird while it's asleep and start chewing
Speaker 1: on its skin, and even if the bird like wakes
Speaker 1: up eventually, essentially the mice kind of breaks the Geneva
Speaker 1: conventions like the the like they commit war crimes by
Speaker 1: continually disrupting the bird's sleep until the bird is just
Speaker 1: so exhausted that it kind of like it can no
Speaker 1: longer like keep waking up and trying to knock the
Speaker 1: mouse off, and so the mouse just like choose its
Speaker 1: skin off. I have I've sent you a photo, the
Speaker 1: most sort of the least gory photo I could find
Speaker 1: of this of a mouse just sitting on one of
Speaker 1: these birds attacking it.
Speaker 3: But I get this dock. I'm actually really glad I
Speaker 3: didn't get this.
Speaker 1: It's it's a photo of a mouse sitting on the
Speaker 1: head of an albatross chick. It looks like and what
Speaker 1: it's doing is it is eating its scalp off. You
Speaker 1: can't really you can't really see that in this photo.
Speaker 1: But I have looked at the other photos where it's
Speaker 1: essentially this poor little bird that's been scalped by a mouse.
Speaker 1: Because like when I when I first read about these
Speaker 1: mice where it's like, yeah, these mice like bite these birds,
Speaker 1: I'm like imagining sort of just like little bite marks
Speaker 1: on the bird. I was not imagining a bird just
Speaker 1: having an entire chunk of skin missing in this like
Speaker 1: really horrific way. So uh it is uh actually kind
Speaker 1: of disturbing.
Speaker 2: And yet in this photo, if you have kind of
Speaker 2: bad eyesight, which I do, uh, it just looks like
Speaker 2: a bird cosplaying is dan Rather it's got like.
Speaker 1: A little just some hair piece.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's just got like a real nice quaft,
Speaker 2: velvety kind of poof. Yeah, are we sure it's not symbiotic?
Speaker 2: Where like the bird just understands how good it looks?
Speaker 1: Now are you asking? Was like if this is a
Speaker 1: ratituy situation where the ratituy is actually eating its scalp
Speaker 1: as well as helping it cook food.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, with the ladies with like the bird.
Speaker 1: Lady right with the bird ladies, like you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: you goulnat want to go on to ask her what
Speaker 1: her name is? Can I eat?
Speaker 2: In an exchange a little bit.
Speaker 3: Of skin surround de bergiak ratituy. But he's also eating
Speaker 3: the human head.
Speaker 1: Now that's the crossover I'd like to see. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: they are a problem for these birds, and conservationists want
Speaker 1: to get rid of these mice because, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: they are actually a big threat to some of these
Speaker 1: bird species on this island, and so they are trying
Speaker 1: to They are going on like a big Tom and
Speaker 1: Jerry style mouse hunt where they are they're they're they're
Speaker 1: pulling out all the stops, they're they're they're, uh, they've
Speaker 1: caught up Tom and been like, hey, Tom, what's some
Speaker 1: of the ideas that they didn't let you use in
Speaker 1: those cartoons because they were so heinous. Uh, So they
Speaker 1: are used. They are using poisoned grain to try to
Speaker 1: kill these mice, which is tricky because most of the
Speaker 1: sea birds, while most of them actually eat fish, there
Speaker 1: are some species that are more unnow wrists, so the
Speaker 1: bird might eat the grain. So conservationists are actually collecting
Speaker 1: the birds that eat grain, putting them in like protective
Speaker 1: bird jail while they spread poison grain for the mice
Speaker 1: to eat, and then once the once the mice have
Speaker 1: presumably eaten, the poison grain. Then they release the birds
Speaker 1: from from protective bird jail.
Speaker 2: So I was writing that all birds are guilty. I mean,
Speaker 2: and they go to bird prison.
Speaker 1: Look, I said, bird jail, and you're still presumed innocent
Speaker 1: when when you're in jail you know nothing of bird law.
Speaker 2: You know nothing of bird law, you're born into it.
Speaker 3: So what happens? What happens if this doesn't work, if
Speaker 3: the poison grain doesn't work, what's plan B?
Speaker 1: Plan B? I don't know, Like I guess hammers.
Speaker 2: See that's right, all the birds together into one big
Speaker 2: bird to fight the big.
Speaker 1: Mouse helmets for the birds helmets.
Speaker 3: I feel like we've solved it. You take the hammers,
Speaker 3: the birds have helmets. Just go crazy with the hammers.
Speaker 3: Just drop hammers out a helicopters, do whatever you want,
Speaker 3: because the birds have the helmets. You can't hurt a
Speaker 3: bird right with a hammer. No, we're not onto something.
Speaker 3: We'll get it.
Speaker 1: Have like uh have like a movie that's like mouse
Speaker 1: film film for mice. Birds aren't going to be interested
Speaker 1: in this movie. Then all the mice go to the
Speaker 1: tiny mouse cinema and then.
Speaker 2: You go quick where you drop hammers on.
Speaker 1: Then you go Quentin Tarantino on it.
Speaker 3: What about rat terriers? They're so adorable and I don't
Speaker 3: know if you've ever seen a rat terrier go to town,
Speaker 3: But they'll just grab a rat, shake it till it's dead,
Speaker 3: and drop it. That's they have no more interest in it.
Speaker 3: They don't want to eat it or present it to anyone.
Speaker 3: They're just bread to murder rats. So I guess you'd
Speaker 3: need to breathe smaller terriers, Like how adorable would that be?
Speaker 3: Like a mouse terrier?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you know, a rat terrier might
Speaker 1: go after the mice, not the birds. Might not be
Speaker 1: a bad idea, that's for me.
Speaker 3: You put cats in the island, the cats are gonna
Speaker 3: kill the birds, right, crazy idea.
Speaker 1: But a rat terrier, Yeah, there accountable.
Speaker 2: Butting serial killers onto the islands to take care of
Speaker 2: all the rat terriers.
Speaker 1: Right, okay, So then, but how do you get rid
Speaker 1: of the butting serial killers? Then you got to release
Speaker 1: the flesh eating mice. Now you've just four chan.
Speaker 2: You release a four chan onto the islands and they'll
Speaker 2: all become preoccupied with it and will no longer venture.
Speaker 1: Outside to kill makes sense, all right, We've solved a
Speaker 1: good job, boys, Conservation achieved. We're going to take a
Speaker 1: quick break, and when we return, we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about flying zombies. They fly now, they fly now, they
Speaker 1: fly now. All right, we're about and we're talking about
Speaker 1: flying zombies. You know, I feel like you're against him.
Speaker 1: I feel like the zombie genre, the zambre, has a
Speaker 1: lot of like iterations of zombies, like these are these
Speaker 1: are zombie Nazis. This is a zombie that you're in
Speaker 1: love with. This is a storm trooper Nazi. Wait no, sorry,
Speaker 1: zombies storm.
Speaker 3: Trooper are too many hooks. Zombies have too many hooks.
Speaker 1: A zombie Nazi storm trooper who you can fall in
Speaker 1: love with, the whole zombie thing. But you know what,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen I haven't seen flying zombies in movies yet,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, like just a zombie that can
Speaker 1: Superman around.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think you're right.
Speaker 1: That's the final frontier for just ringing every last drop
Speaker 1: of content out of zombies. But there is actual zombie flies.
Speaker 1: So probably a lot of you, and especially people who
Speaker 1: listen to this show, or if you've seen or played
Speaker 1: the Last of Us, you're probably familiar with Cordyceps fungus
Speaker 1: that infects ants, and the ants go a little bit nuts,
Speaker 1: a little batty, and then crawl away, and then the
Speaker 1: cordyceps grows out of their bodies. Uh. And that's that's
Speaker 1: all horrible. We've are We've talked about that before. But
Speaker 1: I've got another one for you. Uh. There is a
Speaker 1: different type of fungus that attacks flies. So the fungus
Speaker 1: uh Intomothora mouse ski, also known as insect destroyer, infects
Speaker 1: a variety of flies, including house flies and fruit flies.
Speaker 3: I mean good, nobody likes those bugs.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna sweet name. I can't be against it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, insect destroyer, Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, just insect destroyer. I would if I was marketing
Speaker 2: for the fungus, Like, if the fungus hired me to mark,
Speaker 2: I would go with insect destroyer in like a heavy
Speaker 2: metal font. Yeah, and I was I would really embrace.
Speaker 3: If I saw destroy If I had a bag, My
Speaker 3: wife thought, ah, one of those little plants that pitcher
Speaker 3: plant the flies, and she's super pissed off that it
Speaker 3: has not diminished the fly population. But if I if
Speaker 3: I had a bag of fungus that I could just
Speaker 3: release into the air, turn them on the zombies just
Speaker 3: have three or four days of zombiesuretically, they would fungus.
Speaker 2: That is how all zombie movies start, though you realize
Speaker 2: that they're like if I could just release all of
Speaker 2: this and get rid of whatever I want to get
Speaker 2: rid of, then surely everything will Oh no zombies, Like
Speaker 2: that's that is how you get zombies historically, Like, like
Speaker 2: that's how you get ants. When you release sugar, that's
Speaker 2: how you get zombi.
Speaker 1: Either you can either put some red wine vinegar in
Speaker 1: a cup and then put plastic wrap on the top
Speaker 1: and poke some holes in it, or you can release
Speaker 1: this fungus. And the releasing of the fungus sounds a
Speaker 1: lot more fun, although I feel like maybe by the
Speaker 1: end of this you might have like a shred of
Speaker 1: sympathy for these flies.
Speaker 3: So first, okay, let's hear it.
Speaker 1: Open your mind and your heart to the flies. First,
Speaker 1: the fungus lands on a fly via spores. The spore
Speaker 1: then invades the flies hemal lymph. So hemal lymph is
Speaker 1: bug blood essentially, so the fungus feeds on the flies
Speaker 1: hemal lymph and fat tissue. Then the fly's mind is
Speaker 1: influenced by the fungus, and it is driven to climb
Speaker 1: upwards and upwards. Its body is riddled with the fungus.
Speaker 1: Then it is induced somehow by the fungus. Now we
Speaker 1: researchers don't know exactly how the fungus is doing this,
Speaker 1: but the fly sticks out it's proboscis. That's its little
Speaker 1: two blank mouth thing, the little like weird tiny elephant
Speaker 1: trunk thing that flies have that they use to suck
Speaker 1: up food. It sticks this out onto the surface and
Speaker 1: it uses this like sticky saliva that is probably infused
Speaker 1: with some kind of sticky fungal compound. And this drool
Speaker 1: actually forms like a glue, so it's glued from its
Speaker 1: like by the mouth onto the surface that it's on.
Speaker 1: And so now the fly is stuck. And then the
Speaker 1: fly is for some reason compelled to extend its wings
Speaker 1: in this like upright position that's kind of unnatural for it.
Speaker 1: And now the fly has essentially become this fixed in place,
Speaker 1: perfect substrate for the fungus to grow and spread. And
Speaker 1: just hours later the fly has grown this fluffy white coat.
Speaker 1: And this coat is actually fungal filaments which will grow
Speaker 1: spores at the tips. Importantly, the reason that the fly's
Speaker 1: wings are now stuck in this like weird upright position
Speaker 1: is to clear the way for the spores to fire
Speaker 1: off of the fly's body. So now these spores that
Speaker 1: are all growing out of the fly's body can basically
Speaker 1: pop off like popcorn or fireworks and then hopefully land
Speaker 1: on another victim who will go through the exact same thing.
Speaker 3: Right, this is a nightmare.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it turns It turns them into James Brown, kind
Speaker 2: of like a you've been down, kiss the dirt, stick
Speaker 2: your stick your legs up, stick your wings up. You
Speaker 2: put on a big white fluffy coat.
Speaker 3: The other guy comes in throws a cape on you.
Speaker 3: You throw you got more to.
Speaker 2: Do, and that cape infects and creates other James Brown's,
Speaker 2: as we well know from history. Yeah, I'm on board
Speaker 2: with this so far. I think this whip's ad.
Speaker 3: Team Fungus. I think I think I'm.
Speaker 1: Agreed Team Fungus. We're all team fungus. I would like
Speaker 1: to see a zombie movie where basically a zombie just
Speaker 1: sort of bites a wall and then starts growing a
Speaker 1: coat and sticks its arms out and like Superman position,
Speaker 1: and then the coat starts like just shooting off spores.
Speaker 1: That'd be fun.
Speaker 3: Would it'd be a bit if I saw that, I'd
Speaker 3: be like this a bit much. Zombies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, it's a little dramatic.
Speaker 3: It's a little hannibal lector it's like Writtner's The Majesty
Speaker 3: of My Death. You're like, take it easy.
Speaker 1: I feel like the groaning and the moaning is already
Speaker 1: a little mill dramatic, Like we get it, you're dead,
Speaker 1: but you're moving around, understood.
Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna sell a lot of popcorn
Speaker 2: at that movie.
Speaker 1: Hmmm. If if the.
Speaker 2: Theaters aren't gonna like it, they make most of their
Speaker 2: money off of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not gonna sell that. I like sauted mushrooms, like
Speaker 3: a nice cup of saw ted mushrooms.
Speaker 1: Right right. They're not gonna sell a lot of fungal
Speaker 1: spores at the movie theater, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I'm a couple of spores here, get you a couple
Speaker 3: of spores, cold couple spores.
Speaker 2: I don't know why he's at a movie theater. The
Speaker 2: all game was rutted down at the movies.
Speaker 1: Now that's what that's what happens at modern cinema. Got
Speaker 1: someone walking through the aisles, screaming, yelling, yelling, hot dogs,
Speaker 1: get your three D glasses and your fule spores.
Speaker 3: Watch out for Nicole Kidman. Her hair is being blown back.
Speaker 1: Cinema, Yes, the magic of chinema. Well, so, yeah, this
Speaker 1: is this is the fate of this poor little fly
Speaker 1: gets turned into a mere vessel for the fungal spores
Speaker 1: and it literally just has to like kiss the ground
Speaker 1: and die.
Speaker 2: Zero empathy for the flies.
Speaker 1: Still like flies, Still don't like the flies. It's because
Speaker 1: it doesn't have a cute little tummy, isn't it.
Speaker 2: No, it's because my adorable little dog is definitely afraid
Speaker 2: of flies for no reason. We can determine that. I'm
Speaker 2: on her side. Yeah, so if I could, if I
Speaker 2: could release this fungus and encourage it to destroy all flies.
Speaker 1: I do it for her, one of the few insects.
Speaker 1: I truly hate our tics because of them being mean
Speaker 1: to my dog. Like, I'm like, how dare you beyond
Speaker 1: my dog and hurt her? I will exact vengeance. You
Speaker 1: will be contained in a bottle and drown in alcohol,
Speaker 1: which sounds good, but trust me it's not.
Speaker 2: There are worst ways.
Speaker 3: I guess it's.
Speaker 1: Rubbing alcohol it's not like I drowned them in a
Speaker 1: really nice sort.
Speaker 2: Of we don't know have standards chocolate. We were all
Speaker 2: teenagers once.
Speaker 1: Uh. Well listen before we go, uh, and you can
Speaker 1: go about your ghoulish uh daily activities. We do gotta
Speaker 1: play a little game. It's called the mystery animal sound game.
Speaker 1: Uh I guess who's squawking? Every week I play a
Speaker 1: spooky and scary mystery animal sound and you, the listener,
Speaker 1: any of the guests, try to guess who is squawking?
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: So, last week mystery animal sound hint was this? This
Speaker 1: ferocious wild carnivore would eat you if only it didn't
Speaker 1: fit inside your pocket.
Speaker 3: I actually know this one. Yeah, that is a Hall
Speaker 3: of Fame pitcher Randy Johnson.
Speaker 1: Ah, how did you know?
Speaker 2: No, that's not maybe it's right in your pocket. That's
Speaker 2: right in your pocket, little Randy.
Speaker 1: Little Randy, little pucker, that's what the Yeah.
Speaker 2: And he would kill you if he had the chance.
Speaker 2: Be so thankful, be thankful. He's so weet, bloodthirsty.
Speaker 3: He did kill a bird that one time.
Speaker 1: Oh, with the ball? Was that when he hit a
Speaker 1: bird with a ball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he hit a bird with a ball, and.
Speaker 1: That bird Uh, presumed guilty before being proven innocent.
Speaker 3: Yes, that bird bunch of trial, one appeal.
Speaker 1: Jury and bird secutioner. No, this is not that sports
Speaker 1: guy you just said. This is something else. This is
Speaker 1: called the rusty spotted cat.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: It is the smallest cat in the world and it
Speaker 1: is totally it is like the size of a kitten.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And yet it is a full grown wild cat.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, and you did not send us pictures.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna google.
Speaker 1: Google it. You will be happy.
Speaker 2: He's so cute, a little round ears in the big eyes.
Speaker 2: And that's as big as they get.
Speaker 1: That's as big as they get. That's it. They are
Speaker 1: found in India and Sri Lanka and it is absolutely adorable.
Speaker 2: Why did we pick other cats to keep? Why didn't
Speaker 2: we just get this and we get this cat?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean you know, I think we made a mistake.
Speaker 1: We need to go back in time and instead of
Speaker 1: using a time machine to like prevent some of the
Speaker 1: world's greatest atrocities, we should go back in time and
Speaker 1: demesticate this little this little guy.
Speaker 2: I think that would prevent some of the world's greatest atrocities.
Speaker 2: I don't think Hitler would have done what he did
Speaker 2: if instead of the German shepherd, he had this tiny
Speaker 2: little fella in his.
Speaker 1: Pocket, cat or this little cat was gonna kill baby
Speaker 1: Hitler Warrior.
Speaker 3: You could speak into Hitler's bunker with like fifteen of
Speaker 3: these in your pockets. Yeah, very nice to see you
Speaker 3: if you're and then boom, cats.
Speaker 2: Cover him, whip out your trench coat and they all
Speaker 2: just explode out of all the secret pockets of kiddies
Speaker 2: that you have, you have kmit inside of there.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean they are. They are adorable. They are
Speaker 1: indeed sort of rusty and spotty. They've got little streaks,
Speaker 1: They've got little little white tummies.
Speaker 2: They look like they can't wait to hear a secret.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they look like they would sit on your shoulder
Speaker 1: and whisper in your ear, like like heal him, heal
Speaker 1: him for me, and you do it. I would absolutely
Speaker 1: do if this little guy sat on my shoulder telling
Speaker 1: me to go kill people at his whim. Not gonna
Speaker 1: say I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 2: As long as they're all Hitlers.
Speaker 1: As well as it's all Hitlers, they're like, trust me, Hitler, there,
Speaker 1: you must kill it like that looks that looks like
Speaker 1: that looks like a normal person. No, definitely not. You
Speaker 1: should go kill him.
Speaker 2: God damn it, Randy Johnson. This is the last time,
Speaker 2: little Randy Johnson I have named my cat.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it likes to live in the forest. It
Speaker 1: is very shy and in your pocket. No, Actually, that's
Speaker 1: a sad thing is it's extremely shy. Probably the reason
Speaker 1: that the our cats were domesticated from the African wild
Speaker 1: cat is that the African wild cat is a little
Speaker 1: more chill, a little more curious. This one is extremely shy,
Speaker 1: probably because it's so small. You know, it's like, I'm
Speaker 1: a little guy. I'm a little guy. I gotta be shy, understand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'll it'll eat it'll eat rodents, it'll eat birds, frogs, insects,
Speaker 1: and little one once.
Speaker 2: Now, if you showed me a picture of this thing
Speaker 2: on one of those big penguins just eating its skin,
Speaker 2: I'd be much more compus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. I'd be like, you know what, Uh,
Speaker 1: I'll let you have it. You can take over the island.
Speaker 1: So cute, I mean, that's essentially what we've done with cats.
Speaker 1: Though we we were like, you're cute. You can be
Speaker 1: invasive on this island, on this territory and kill all
Speaker 1: the birds and indigenous species here.
Speaker 3: If we could develop as we saddle small enough, we
Speaker 3: could put that on the penguin, slides on the tummy,
Speaker 3: kitty cat rides in the penguin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what. Look, I know that it's been
Speaker 1: a mistake. Every single time we've introduced a species to
Speaker 1: try to take care of another invasive species US a mistake.
Speaker 1: But maybe this time right Because it's so small, I
Speaker 1: don't see how it's going to eat an albatross and so,
Speaker 1: but it's not so small that it couldn't eat a
Speaker 1: mouse that's eating an albatross. You see where I'm going
Speaker 1: with this. I know every single time we've done this
Speaker 1: it's had a terrible outcome. I think we should try
Speaker 1: it again.
Speaker 3: What's the worst that could happen? We lose some albatrosses
Speaker 3: and get an island of adorable kittens. Yeah, just swarming
Speaker 3: with kittens, the only life form left. Yes, four feet
Speaker 3: deep wading through adorable kittens.
Speaker 1: And the great thing is there's no kind of saying
Speaker 1: about like running into a folly that has anything to
Speaker 1: do with albatrosses. Like it's not like like when something
Speaker 1: happens where it becomes a big problem for you. There's
Speaker 1: no saying that visa via albatrosses.
Speaker 3: So they're saying, is uh getting a day terrific job?
Speaker 1: Right, that's the saying.
Speaker 2: So on, It's like my mom always said, like you
Speaker 2: never trust, never trust a tiny kitten. The tinier the kitten,
Speaker 2: the less.
Speaker 3: It's what she says.
Speaker 1: Is that what your mother said?
Speaker 2: Yeah, she had some medication problems.
Speaker 1: Was this here, Like you came home from school one
Speaker 1: day and you're like, I got I gotta be on
Speaker 1: my math test and she's like, never trusting kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have been looking for them ever since. These uh,
Speaker 2: these kittens that curse your math tests.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, moving on to this week's mystery animals
Speaker 1: sound the hint is this when he's crabby, he's happy.
Speaker 3: Kawasaki crack chocket.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I usually have tried. I usually try to
Speaker 1: be coy about it of like, maybe you're right, but no,
Speaker 1: you're absolutely wrong.
Speaker 2: I didn't get it the first history.
Speaker 3: You won't be.
Speaker 1: Politeness is earned and boys, you haven't earned it. Ah.
Speaker 3: So no that skateboarding walrus skateboarding walrus.
Speaker 1: Closer, I guess, but you will find out the answer
Speaker 1: on next time, on this very show, on Next Creature,
Speaker 1: on Next Creature feature Fellas, thanks for being on. I guess.
Speaker 2: That's the They usually cut that part in the podcast,
Speaker 2: but yeah, we get that. We get that a lot.
Speaker 3: It happens.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I suppose where can people find you?
Speaker 3: Take it away, Brockway, You're you're a much better plugger.
