What's Living in Your Microwave?

Rachel kicks things off this week with the amazing Wombat butt. Sure, Kirk talked about the strange square shaped poo of the Wombat many episodes ago but he didn't talk about their armored butt and how they use it for defense. Thanks for the update Rachel!

Victoria is next and she once again treads familiar ground on the show by talking about extremophiles. We've discussed them before but this time they aren't lurking in the depths of the ocean they are in your home microwave. New research shows us what creatures an survive this extreme environment.

In a strange coincidence this week, not only did Rachel add to one of Kirk's old topics but Kirk revisited one of Rachel's. Rachel had previously talked about a poisonous bird and so Kirk did a deep dive on all of the rest of the poisonous birds in the world. Some are truly bizarre.
