154: Hot Animals

from Comfort Creatures · host Alexis B. Preston, Ella McLeod

While we do love chatting about how gorgeous certain creatures are -- check out our crossover episode with the gang from Reading Smut if that sounds like a bit of you -- today we mean hot as in temperate. Toasty. Real life phoenixes, if you will. Alexis teaches us about bugs in balmy climes and Ella explains that when people say "camels store water in their humps" they don't mean they attach straws to their humps and have a drink like hikers. Who knew? Plus a Ready Pet Go from Shannon, Vesper and Percy (a great name). Don't forget, September will be our Read-A-Long month! We'll be reading House of the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune! Get your hands on the book now, and we'll loop you in with our schedule soon! Help support this show and unlock bonus content! Become a member at https://maximumfun.org/joincreatures
