Join Melissa as she dives deep into the weirdest, funniest, sciency-est ways in which animals intersect at humanity. How is a horse responsible for the FDA? How did fish farts nearly cause bombs to fly between Russia and Sweden? How did a pigeon save 194 soldiers in wartime? Why are honey bees trained to find unexploded landmines in Croatia? Let’s find out on BewilderBeasts – where animals intersect at humanity!

Pagán's book launch for "Drunk Flies and Stoned Dolphins" where a tipsy Melissa asks him about cocaine addiction in flatworms, "bouncer bees" who decapitate drunk bees coming back to the hive, a few side tracks into pjs and tattoos, then circling back to stoned dolphins, spiders on LSD, phobias, and misadventures in web-based randomizers. His incredible research is improving how we understand addiction in humans.
Melissa addresses sex changing animals who can do it all, condors who have had enough of their male cage mates, lesbian lizards, proposes a Finding Nemo #3, and the myth of the sexual binary.
Trigger warning: Today's episode discusses genocide, the dark truth behind America's most gluttonous holiday. Why you should be eating eel and deer instead of turkey and potatoes on Thursday, and how writers of the 1800's completely SQUAWKED up how we learn about Thanksgiving today. And we learn what they didn't teach you in school about the first feast. Buckle in, it's a rollercoaster.
This week, Melissa has a special announcement and revisit of three African animal stories for the History Class of RSU 40 in Waldoboro, Maine. #GoPanthers
In this 50th episode, we meet Olga of Kiev, a PATRON SAINT who murdered a lot of people using earth, wind, fire, ale and homing pigeons. She inspired the character of Cersei Lannister, a death metal band's concept album, a ballet and the US Military in WW2. Let's go!
Today Melissa takes a series of shallow dives into more royalty who were killed by hubris which changed the world forever, and has some fun with the worst nicknames in royal history. Let's go!
Today, there is a sign that says no pets allowed on the fence surrounding Elysian Heights Elementary – but the very foundation of this school's culture is built on the spirit of a cat named Room 8 who went to school every single day for 16 years. Let's learn about the most famous cat in the US that you likely never heard of because the Internet didn't exist in the 50s. ************Resources for today's episode: https://www.thegreatcat.org/room-8/
In 1783 a duck, a rooster and a sheep named Montauciel were heading straight for the sky. How does their unlikely story change lead to three Billionaires ending up in space over 200 years later?
