On Being Animals

Miscellaneous


You asked for it so you’re going to get it. The lovely Jenny Pye came back for another episode and this time we discovered the Gazing Handsy Bandit Washer. Along the way we figure out a great paté prank, we explore bureaucracy, we give a shout out to Buster the pug, and we weigh in on eating poop. Most egregious error: Jenny has a great question about domestication versus taming, but I have a pretty sloppy answer. Taming is what you do to an individual animal and is a matter of learning. Domestication applies to groups of animals and it genetic modification. So we control the breeding of a wild animal to establish a new breed. This new breed lives symbiotically with us humans and is usually unable to survive or reproduce without human intervention. Science level: Poop is science, right? We talk about poop.
