In 1992, two Alaskan communities were shaken by two different encounters with bears that ended in tragedy. Wes sheds a a light on how things went wrong, and then goes over the best things to do should anyone find themselves in a similar situation.

Three things to remember in the event of a bear encounter:

1. Group up (safety in numbers!)

2. Get your bear spray out and have it ready to use

3. Slowly back away

Mike is finally allowed to take charge of a main episode as some sort of sick and twisted birthday present, and he decides to cover the true story behind the legendery sled dog serum run of 1925. He then gets into the horrifying account of Bridgett Watkins and her encounter with a moose while training for the Iditarod. Wes does NOT want diptheria, and Jeff is hard to impress.

This week Wes, Jeff and Mike reflect on the final episode of the series and their takeaways from the season. Then Wes speaks with filmmakers Eric Goode and Jeremy McBride about what it was like when Tonia found out about the crew’s involvement in Tonka’s fate, and they’re later joined by Dr. Carl Safina, professor of Nature and Humanity at Stony Brook University who explains the dangers of anthropomorphism.

This week Wes, Jeff and Mike discuss some of Tonia’s backstory, the case of Buck the chimpanzee in Pendleton, OR and their predictions for how this series will wrap up. Then Wes speaks with filmmakers Eric Goode and Jeremy McBride about some of the motivations people have for keeping chimpanzees privately, and they are later joined by Dr. Craig Stanford, professor of Biological Sciences and Anthropology at USC who explains the complex social lives and needs of chimpanzees. 

Watch Episode Three of the HBO Documentary Series Chimp Crazy on Max. 

Biologists have made a couple of breakthrough discoveries on how humpback whales vocalize and share their songs with each other, and Mike does his best to relay the information to Wes and Jeff. The guys then do a mini-March Madness bracket to determine what the best hit song with an animal in the title is. Will it be by The Beatles? Prince? Baja Men? Listen to find out!

Jeff takes the lead this time through to tell us about Ken Allen, an orangutan who made a name for himself by repeatedly escaping his San Diego Zoo enclosure. His antics caused the zoo staff no shortage of headaches, and even spawned a hate group for his arch enemy.
