Podcasts about Critter

Natty, along with Miss Stacy, delves into the captivating legend of Oscar, a gigantic snapping turtle from the small town of Churubusco, Indiana. Despite numerous attempts by residents, hunters, divers, and even a 200-pound female turtle bait, Oscar remains elusive. The tale is filled with quirky commentary, local folklore, and a community's enduring fascination, ultimately leading to the annual Turtle Days Festival.Click here for merch sites, patreon site, website, to donate, and join me on social media!Instagram - Early On WednesdaySources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churubusco,_Indiana  The United States of Cryptids - A Tour of American Myths and Monsters by J.W.

242. The Ridgeline Critter

Jesse spoke to Forest and Bird Chief Executive Nicola Toki about it.

This week's critter is the New Zealand Dobsonfly (Archichauliodes diversus). They are the only representing species of this group in New Zealand. These insects are unusual, spending most of their life in their aquatic juvenile form. As adults, they live only for around 6-10 days with the sole purpose of finding a mate and procreating, not even stopping to feed. The larvae are known as toe-biters due to their large, serrated mandibles which they use to catch anything that get close to them! They have tentacle-like appendages on the sides of the body, but these are actually their gills! They are common throughout New Zealand and thrive in stony streams with good water quality. Jesse spoke to Forest and Bird's Chief Executive Nicola Toki.

The critter for this week is rytinotus squamulosus, the debris cloaking bark beetle!

This week's critter is small but very fierce! The Northland Tusked Weta is around 2 cm in size, they are a beautiful orange-brown colour with bands along the back. These little critters live in small tunnels of trees during the day, plugging up the entryway with their own special mix of saliva and wood dust. This can make them incredibly hard to find, if they are not out and about munching on other small creatures during the night. Forest and Bird Chief Executive Nicola Toki talks to Jesse about the endangered critter.

First-day-of-school jitters have never been funnier or more reassuring than in this picture book by the New York Times bestselling author Jory John and critically acclaimed illustrator Liz ClimoIt's almost the first day of school, and the animals are nervous. Sloth worries about getting there on time, snake can't seem to get his backpack fastened onto his body, and bunny is afraid she'll want to hop around instead of sitting still. When they all arrive at their classroom, though, they're in for a surprise: Somebody else is nervous too. It's their teacher, the armadillo! He has rolled in as a ball, and it takes him a while to relax and unfurl. But by the next day, the animals have all figured out how to help one another through their jitters. School isn't so scary after all.

In this episode, Zuul, Burton, and TJ discuss a lesser-known critter sighting in Carmel, Ohio.

Bug-Man and Critter face one of their creepiest villains yet: Old Man Winter, a paralyzed madman who freezes his victims with a sinister toxin that leaves them trapped inside their own bodies. As paralysis spreads across Gothic City, Bug-Man must uncover the twisted history behind Old Man Winter, a disgraced doctor with a personal vendetta tied to crime boss Red Boyle—and to Bug-Man himself. From nightclub showdowns to gas-filled standoffs and malfunctioning exoskeletons, the fight escalates until Bug-Man and Critter discover surprising new abilities that may change their adventures forever. A complete audio adventure packed with parody, pulp, and plenty of absurd laughs. [Ep 584]

Critter of the Week is our chance to put the spotlight on some of our endangered creatures. This week we're turning our attention to jaw moths, they're considered to be the most primitive living moths, dating back to a time when flowers weren't around. That's not only what makes them special - they have magnificent hair, as the photo shows! Forest and Bird Chief Executive Nic Toki chats to Emile.

The coterie's captive, Torino, answered the call from the Genovese boss. They learned the mafia's farm was expecting a bus to return, so the coterie decided to find it and use it themselves to ambush the compound. While they planned, Genovese called again to demand the reason for the delay, and Torino panicked and claimed they had found gold on the property and were loading it onto the bus. How will the coterie deal with a large group of armed mafiosos now planning to greet them at the gate?  Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow. Enjoying Canada By Night?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- X/Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our heroes are deciding the fate of Lexi the bard! Butthole (Ryan LaPlante, @theryanlaplante) spoke with Alyn and determined there is a magical mind-wipe but it can be undone, Juniper (Laura Hamstra, @lauraehamstra) got Mo Dirt to make a more permanent but riskier “mind smear” potion, and Quinny (Tyler Hewitt, @Tyler_Hewitt) made sure Bucky wouldn't talk!

The troupe approached the gate leading into Bree and unintentionally convinced the guards they were inept enough to not be a threat. Making their way through town, a server from The Prancing Pony invited them to perform at the bar in return for free accommodations, but first Adam and Guy needed proper pants. Adam found himself miraculously clad in a kilt, so they made their way to a tailor's shop to clothe Guy. When they failed to flatter the proprietor into giving them free clothes, they instead traded their one slice of pizza and empty Tylenol bottle. Will Wet Change's comedy stylings entertain the patrons of The Prancing Pony? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee. Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

The troupe continued to fight the goblins. Adam failed to tame the dog-man, Guy noticed the goblins were sensitive to sunlight and set their tarp on fire to destroy their shade, and Tyler, who had run away, realized the others hadn't followed him, so he came back to help finish things off. They then performed the unsavoury task of searching the bodies and found a crude drawing depicting hobbits and a ring, suggesting the hobbits were the targets of more than just the Black Riders. They finally made it to the gates of Bree, relieved to find it looking well-guarded and safe, but will they find the hobbits, the stranger, and Del inside? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee. Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

It's time for Critter of the week where we put the spotlight on an endangered insect, and today's critter is the very definition of tiny but mighty. The Crabill's centipede is small by most standards .. coming in at 3 centimetres .. but it can take down much larger prey much thanks to its poison claws. Forest and Bird Chief Executive Nicola Toki chats to Emile.

The agents made their way toward the Jumentierre Estate, and found improvised Valkyrie fliers that would give the Crimson Brothers advantage in the fight. The area was guarded by two Hereteks and a swarm of servo skulls, so Morgan opted for a stealth approach. She sent data from a nearby cogitator to CLO53T, who confirmed that Talos Ivo was meant to be on one of the ships, but when the Judge and their seconded Arbitrators shots at the Hereteks, the servo skull swarm suddenly broke their surveillance pattern and set their sights on the agents. Featuring players Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, Josh Halbot, and Tyler Hewitt, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante. Enjoying Agents of the Inquisition?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)

Arum, Corydalis, Cyclamen, Dracunculus, and Scilla! They'll take shade and deter the critters.

Wet Change, sans Del, set out east towards the town of Bree. They happened upon the violent willow tree, decided not to burn it down just yet, and travelled across a difficult landscape until they came across a group of goblins. Not wanting to fight, Tyler and Adam tried to run away, and Guy climbed a tree, but still they were discovered. Adam and Guy threw Baguettes and branches, but it was only the rising sun that had the strange creatures drawing back into cover. As the goblins scrambled away, a strange dog-like man in their camp broke free. Will Adam's stroke of inspiration allow him to calm and befriend this feral beast-man? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee. Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

With Del away on a mysterious adventure of her own, the rest of the troupe rested at Bombadil's house and equipped themselves for the task ahead. Tolkien gave Tyler a broken sword, Guy had the forethought to ask for food and water, and Adam dressed himself in an improvised hat and poorly-constructed toga. The troupe departed and found themselves naturally taking on specific roles within the group: Tyler as the Guide, Adam as the resourceful Hunter, and Guy as the observant Scout. They've been warned to stay off the main road, but can Wet Change avoid the Black Rider, survive the trek to Bree, and find the ringbearer at The Prancing Pony? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee. Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

Having escaped the Flensing House, the band took a short rest to treat their wounds and regroup, now in the company of two Arbitrators and a soldier. The Judge's wounds were severe, but only after Morgan pressured him, did he allow Damien to heal him with powers from the warp. Solomon, meanwhile, noticed the Judge having a private conversation with Damien and returning healed, and so began to record evidence of his companions' tendencies towards heresy.

After Bombadil revealed himself to be J.R.R. Tolkien, Goldberry took Del aside for a private conversation, and the rest of Wet Change were left to question the author. He explained that he had often escaped into his own story, into an ethereal realm between fiction and reality, but lately the narrative had been falling apart. The heroes who usually helped the ring-bearer hadn't shown up, so Tolkien had sought out replacements, only to accidentally bring in the self-nominated Best Ensemble, Wet Change. With Del temporarily called to another adventure, can the boys find the hobbits in Bree and survive the first leg of their journey to Rivendell? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee. Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

A malevolent tree put everyone except Tyler to sleep and began pulling them into its trunk! As they awoke, Guy set the branches on fire, Tyler injured himself badly getting Del free, and Del sacrificed her cell phone to wedge open the trunk just enough to grab Adam's hand, but the tree wouldn't let him go. So, Adam negotiated and the tree finally released him in exchange for Tyler chopping off its burning limbs. Tom Bombadil reappeared and brought them all to is house, where he revealed himself to be none other than J.R.R. Tolkien. Something in the world he created has gone terribly wrong, but can Wet Change save it?Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee.Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

The sketch comedy troupe, Wet Change, was performing at Edinburgh Fringe when suddenly they were engulfed by mist. They emerged from the foggy swirl of leaves onto a forest road. They soon met a friendly and welcoming merchant, who was immediately slain by a terrifying cloaked figure on horseback. Del, Tyler, Adam, and Guy fled through the woods and sought shelter inside a crypt, only to find it was already occupied by a malevolent wight. They fought for their lives until they were rescued by a jolly rhyming man named Tom Bombadil. Will these perfectly normal humans survive long in this mysterious and deadly fantasy world? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee. Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Thursday at 8:00pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

Comedy troupe Wet Change met their strange Santa-like saviour, Tom Bombadil, who invited them to his home before vanishing in a puff of butterflies. Before heading out, the troupe scoured the crypt for loot and took stock of their fighting experience. Guy knew some taekwondo, Adam knew some karate, Del took a semester of archery, and Tyler found a locket that made him feel a bit safer. Del used her phone's compass to direct them to the river Withywindle and Bombadil's house, but when they arrived at the river, all except Tyler fell into a deep sleep and were grabbed by willow branches. Can Tyler save them all from a hostile tree? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee. Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Thursday at 8:00pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)
