·53 min·5 clips

Bats in Panama were caught eating prey weighing as much as they do, defying expectations of their feeding habits.

Blair hosts a solo episode focused on animal science, covering fringe-lipped bats in Panama that catch prey as heavy as themselves, female caribou that gnaw on their antlers for nutrients, sniffer dogs trained to detect illegal wildlife products with high accuracy, and fish that expend significant energy to hover in water. The episode blends research insights with humorous commentary.
