Smarty Pass Sneak Peek: Game Show Molly

There’s more to sloths than slowness. They’re great at saving energy, hanging upside down, and swimming! In this episode, Sloth Appreciation Society founder Lucy Cooke stops by to tell us all about these amazing animals. We also get into a sloth mystery: The Case of the Perilous Poop Journey. Luckily, there’s a sloth sleuth on the case. And sloths aren’t the only animals who aren’t in a hurry — a few others show off their slowest skills.

There’s also a Mystery Sound for you to guess. Stay sloooooooooow!

Guests

Lucy Cooke, zoologist and founder of the Sloth Appreciation Society

Jonathan Pauli, UW-Madison Forest and Wildlife Ecology

Dr. Sushma Reddy, Breckenridge Chair of Ornithology, Bell Museum

Totally Slothsome: All about sloths

Have you ever heard of Lake Natron? It’s located in Tanzania, Africa, and, if you believe the internet, it can instantly petrify anything that touches it. Lucky for us, we have a direct line to the Hoax Hunters (aka Sanden and Marc) - they love myths, and they hate getting tricked.

Along the way to saying yea or nay to this stoney phenomenon, the Hoax Hunters speak with Neovitus Sianga. Not only does he have firsthand knowledge of the lake, but he works for African People and Wildlife, where he helps protect the environment around Lake Natron.

We also have a brand new Mystery Sound… and Marc and Sanden start a cleaning service?!?

Guest: Neovitus Sianga

Want more Hoax Hunters? Here are a few more episodes featuring our hoax hunting pals:

Are UFOs real?
Lost Cities
Mermaids, Kraken and Loch Ness Monster
Bigfoot, Unicorns and Dragons

Hoax Hunters: Can a lake turn animals to stone?

Skunks can stink, no doubt about it. But that stink is actually a superpower! Join Molly and co-host Diya as they find out how these critters use their smell to scare away enemies, what the smell is made of, and how to make your own de-skunking potion. Plus, Wombat Pete drops by to promote his new music festival, we speak to some skunk experts, and we try our best to guess a new Mystery Sound.

Don't forget the de-skunking potion mnemonic: 

4 Cats Had Problems

Queen Coughed Beside Suzie's Tenth Lasagna, Don't Sneeze

Translation: 

4 Cups hydrogen peroxide

Quarter Cup baking soda

Teaspoon Liquid Dish Soap

Guest: Marie Tosa, Research Scientist with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. 

Guest:Ted Stankowich, Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and CSU Long Beach.
