Force of Nature

This episode is all about Jim Corbett and one of the most intense moments of his career. By the time he was tracking the Chuka man-eater, Corbett was already in his 60s — and still walking straight into jungles most people wouldn’t go near. We talk about who Corbett was, how he approached man-eaters, and what made him different… and then we get into one of the wildest situations he ever found himself in — sitting in a tree with a man-eating tiger lying almost directly beneath him. Yeah… it gets tense.   ***DM us on our Instagram or Facebook channels or email to get more info on how to order a t-shirt and stickers.   On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51 On Paypal at @forceofnaturepod   We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

In this Force of Nature Show episode, we explore unusual animals so strange that early scientists thought they were hoaxes. From platypus venom to the slow loris's toxic bite, these rare mammals have evolved incredible adaptations that make them true nature oddities. The naked mole rat can survive without oxygen for 18 minutes and shows no signs of aging. The vampire deer sports fangs instead of antlers. And the maned wolf? It's neither wolf nor fox - just pure evolutionary chaos. These mammal facts prove that wildlife is full of strange animals that challenge everything we know about nature. Each of these weird creatures represents a unique branch of evolution that took a bizarre turn - and we're here for it. Which of these bizarre mammals shocked you most? Drop a comment below and let me know! Subscribe to Force of Nature Show for more strange animal facts and wildlife deep dives every week. 🌿 Nature is random and chaotic — and we're here for it. https://linktr.ee/forceofnaturepod

We bring some other family members on the show.  Ryan is Dave's nephew and does a great job telling us about a mishap at a rodeo... and then we have Dave's brother-in-law, Marek... he may have been day drinking at the pool party.  He tells us his story about his encounter with a jellyfish.  

For this bonus episode we bring in Dave's dad, Aaron Bodtcher. Aaron was very excited to share his personal story about him being stung by a jellyfish and having a stranger pee on him. The pee thing is a myth... But Aaron didn't know that at the time. Aaron even wrote the entire script himself. 

During the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, America and the Soviets were on the brink of nuclear war. And during this time a black bear jumped over the fence and into an American air base. The guard sounded the alarm thinking it was a Soviet spy nearly causing WW3. Also, Matt gets heat exhaustion while recording. 

In this episode we look at what happens on the fateful day when Terry Thompson let out his 50 plus exotic animals and ended his own life.  We look at what the officers had to do and the difficult decisions they had to make.  No other police force has had to deal with a situation like this before... nobody is prepared for something like this.  We also look into the aftermath of this crazy story.         Go to magicmind.com/forceofnature and use the code Forceofnature20 to get 20% off a one time purchase or get 56% off your first subscription.   Here's a link to Dave's audiobook. https://www.audible.com/pd/B0C9L7DGBC/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWU-BK-ACX0-356266&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_356266_pd_us    ***DM us on our Instagram or Facebook channels or email to get more info on how to order a t-shirt and stickers.   On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51 On Paypal at @forceofnaturepod   We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

We had a solo episode where we learn all about the amazing big cat... The leopard. Since we have covered several man-eating leopard stories we thought it would be a good idea to learn more about them. There are actually eight different leopard subspecies sprinkled throughout Asia and Africa. We go over all of them, as well as quiz Dave on if he can tell the difference between a leopard and jaguar. We also talk about what a black panther is.  Get ready to learn a lot.        ***DM us on our Instagram or Facebook channels or email to get more info on how to order a t-shirt and stickers.   On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51   On Paypal at @forceofnaturepod   We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

We bring you another adventure from our man, Jim Corbett. In this adventure we cover Jim's hunt for the Panar Man-eating Leopard.

This episode we wanted to cover an animal with some Halloween street cred... Commonly associated with bad omens and death. The raven. We have never seen an animal with so much mythology and folklore from around the world. We learn about all the mythology and folklore as well as the differences between raven's and crows. As well as learning all about raven's and how intelligent they are. They're the smart goth kids in school.    Here's a link to Dave's audiobook.   https://www.audible.com/pd/B0C9L7DGBC/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWU-BK-ACX0-356266&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_356266_pd_us        ***DM us on our Instagram or Facebook channels or email to get more info on how to order a t-shirt and stickers.   On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51   On Paypal at @forceofnaturepod   We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This episode we go back to a story from 1983... What starts out as a shrimp fishing trip for three young friends ends in a horror story. After they find themselves in a big storm their shit capsizes. Leaving then with one option, swim to their safety. And that's when they see a shark fin circling them. This real story as even been adapted to a loosely based film from 2010, called "The Reef."

This episode we look at the tallest living land animal... The giraffe. Giraffe's are way cooler and way more weird than you expected. Evolution must have been a little drunk when making these animals. Giraffe's are native to Africa and there are nine subspecies. Like with other solo animals we've covered we learn all about these weirdos. Did you know their tongue is nearly two feet long? And they only sleep about 30 minutes a day.  We learn all about giraffes and then in pop culture.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either [email protected] or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51 We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This episode we look at the very popular story of Cocaine Bear.  This story has only gotten more popular with the recently released film. The film was great! But, obviously very fabricated. We tell the real crazy story. A drug smuggler named Andrew Thornton, who is a very interesting man, decided to dump cocaine out of his plane and jumped out himself. Things didn't go well on his jump. And the first thing to find his cocaine was a black bear. Find out what happens.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either [email protected] or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51 We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

***We had a little issue with our sound quality on this one. Working to make it better.***   We look at what might be one of the silliest stories of man vs bird. This story is a tragic-comedy, for how dumb and silly parts of it are, there was real human suffering.  First we learn about emu's then we go back to 1932 in Western Australia. Due to multiple circumstances emu's invaded the wheat farms. This led the Australian government to get involved. They sent soldiers to the farms to get rid of all the emu's, it didn't go very well for the soldiers. Within a month the Australian government was a laughing stock after unofficially losing a war to the large flightless birds.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either [email protected] or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51 We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.
