15: Black Widows

As Spooktober continues, we get all freaky Friday and Koreena terrifies Cassie with all-too-true facts about Widow spiders. Learn how they got their name, how to identify them, where they live, and how not to get bit (But also why you don’t need to worry too much if you do)! Whether you’re an arachnophile, an aracnophobe, or an arachnid, you’ll have a ghoulishly good time with the CritterCast crew!

8: Bats

This week Koreena and Cassie answer life’s most important question: What do bat nipples look like? Find out the answer and more when we dish details on the world’s ONLY flying mammal! Also, might Hammerhead Bats be the true Jersey Devil? And just how noble is Cassie for letting another Girl Scout take her bat-saving credit? Very noble, supremely noble, or splendiferously noble? Cast your votes on our website, social media, or via email!

5: Owls

Owls – sweet, loyal friends to witches and wizards (Hedwig, whyyyyy???)? Wise and insightful beings? Or harbingers or doom and terrifying murderers? Koreena and Cassie investigate…carefully…and find out all sorts of amazing things about owls: why they are such amazing hunters, how far they can turn their heads around, how many eyelids do they have, and why are they suspects in a famous crime? Also, we invite our listeners to send us stories of your own encounters with the critters we love – even if we aren’t sure why we love them!
