Let's Talk About Cool Animals!

What if your dog could be trained without you even being in the house? That's what Companion is working on! We asked CEO and Founder John Honchariw to come on and nerd out with us about tech, the pet care industry, dog training, and so much more!  Check out companion at https://www.joincompanion.com

The gorgonops sounds and looks like a made-up animal! But it was REAL! Big, terrifying, and an all-around mysterious creature that could be an important link between old reptiles and modern mammals! 

WE ARE BACK! This week we are in Brooklyn and we are talking about the amazing, the divine, the almighty PAUL THE OCTOPUS! Paul achieved worldwide fame by predicting the outcome to important international football matches that Germany played! Listen to find out how he did it! Also you can learn about how smart and incredible cephalopods are! 

We are taking a break this week because Dan is an engaged man! So we wanted to release a little tidbit of an episode so you don't feel lost and devoid of meaning! We will be back next week with a full-length Monday episode and a Wiped Out Wednesdays episode! Thank you everyone for all the kind words and messages! 

The ORNIMEGALONYX (coolest name ever) was a giant prehistoric owl that lived (alongside humans at one point) in the Pleistocene Epoch! Remains were only found in Cuba! This thing was huge, cool, and pretty scary, but it is now WIPED OUT! This is Wiped Out Wednesdays, a segment of Let's Talk About Cool Animals! 

What's more terrifying that a global war that killed millions and shaped the modern as we know it? (We're talking about World War II by the way) Not much, but the crocodiles of Ramree Island were horrific! This rather unknown tale will chill you to your core, and without giving anything away, will make you think "Why hasn't this been made into a movie yet?" DISCLAIMER: IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH YOU MIGHT WANT TO SKIP OVER SOME DETAILS! 

We all know the movie Air Bud! But did you know that Buddy; the star of the movie, started out as a homeless dog roaming Sierra Nevada? We go in-depth on Buddy's life story and the making of an all-time favorite American classic AIR BUD (1997)! Thank you so much for listening and continuing to support us! Stay in touch: animals@danspetcare.com

Back with another dead (extinct) animal! On this episode of Wiped Out Wednesdays we talk about the GIANT (but relatively harmless) Glyptodon! A big bowl with legs and a large tail! They lived during the Pleistocene Epoch (Mauro's favorite epoch) and even co-existed with HUMANS! Come learn about this cool animal that is now WIPED OUT! A segment of Let's Talk About Cool Animals - 

Casting a broader net this week! A REALLY broad net, because these animals are HUGE! The Komodo Dragon is the largest living lizard on Earth, and they are absolute murder machines. They can swallow whole goats, and kill just about anything while looking super badass! Come in and learn about these big scary lizards that can only be found in the wild in Indonesia! 

Man oh man, if you don't like creepy bugs you're gonna hate this episode, but you should still listen to it and learn about the ARTHROPLEURA! An absolute GIANT millipede that lived hundreds of millions of years ago! This majestic beast grew up to 8.5 feet long. Yes, you read that right. 8.5 FEET. Come in and learn about its anatomy, environment, diet, all with our classic rambling nonsense in between! This is Wiped Out Wednesdays, a segment of Let's Talk About Cool Animals! 

Welcome back to another episode of Let's Talk About Cool Animals! This week we're talking about DOLLY THE CLONED SHEEP! Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell (important)! We go into the science, the history of animal cloning, as well as possible human cloning implications! Let us know what you think in the reviews! 

Hello friends! We're back we're another AMAZING tale of coolness, resilience, and cuteness! Unsinkable Sam was a ship's cat that survived the sinking of not one, not two; BUT THREE SHIPS during World War II. He became an instant maritime icon and a true story of survival! Cats having nine lives has never been truer! Thank you all for listening to our silly podcast! Email us: animals@danspetcare.com - 

THE LAST OF HIS KIND. Lonesome George lived a life filled with loneliness and fame. He was the last Pinta Island Tortoise known to man. The Galapagos Islands are a fascinating corner of the world where animals thrived for thousands of years (before us humans came along). Lonesome George became a symbol of conservation and perseverance! We dive deep into his life, his species, the history of the Galapagos, as well as how the great people at the American Museum of Natural History were able to immortalize him forever!

Welcome to Wiped Out Wednesdays! We will be talking about animals who (sadly) are no longer with us! Our first feature is the MEGATHERIUM or Giant Ground Sloth! An absolute giant that went extinct 12,000 years ago!
