Ep. 246: Surviving Wild Animal Encounters

I don’t know about you, but I enjoy the outdoors.  Hiking can be a fun past time, but depending on where you go there is always a chance that you could run into a dangerous animal.  So what do you do?  Are you supposed to look intimidating or play dead?  Do you run to climb a tree or do you charge the creature to show it who’s boss.  Luckily Rachel Levin had those same questions, and decided to write a book about it.  Listen as we discuss how to handle a bear, what it takes to outrun an alligator, and why a moose is described as “A serial killer with a loaded shotgun”.  Plus we tell why punching a shark in the nose is your best option when they are circling.
