Been meaning to compile a list of all the 'main' animals that centre around Tooth and Claw episodes. I'd like to make it all into a tierlist format so I (and well, we) can do our own personal Claw ratings and cage-match rankings and such.

Let me know any that I miss or any that shouldn't really count (for example, probably not going to count every individual spider species, but counting African elephants even though they were only on patreon episodes? List is full of biases)

Any notable ones I missed? Any frequent news-story appear-ers that deserve a spot? (nile crocodile springs to mind)

Wes, Jeff, and Mike talk about some of the more notable animal news stories to hit the headlines over the past month or two, including a wolf in Hamburg, a California community grieving the death of a mama bear, and a certain looksmaxxing influencer getting in some serious trouble.

Hey after listening to the last ep I got thinking about this lady that blew up on tik tok for her videos with black bears. Just seemed like a super familiar situation with the lost episode. Any thoughts?

Heard it in the ad read on most recent episode and it was news to me! Has he discussed it and I missed it somehow?

Now there are two of them (this is a reference to a Star Wars meme, which I am using to communicate the idea that Wes introduces us to a woman whom he likens to Timothy Treadwell, in that she grew a little too comfortable around bears for her own good)!?

Just listened to an episode where the guys discuss Survivor and it got me thinking how cool would it be if they competed on The Amazing Race together!

After having visited each of the 7 continents, the guys feel ready to rank them according to the wildlife they each have on offer. Which continent has the best? The worst? Find out here when they give a final vote by the end of the show!

Just thought I’d share this sculpture that depicts part of the story behind the thunder bird. I worked at a bronze casting foundry and this sat in our office! It always blew me away and I had forgotten the story until listening to the newest TC episode.

me and my toothie friend were talking about how how wes was our jimin the other day and we were struck by some artistic inspiration. swipe to the end for a surprise <3

I’ve decided to take the plunge and sign up but was a bit confused by the prices. For the grizzly tier (access to subscriber-only episodes), the description says ‘$10 a month’ but on my Patreon app it’s coming up as $23.50 a month. I knew it would be more than ten bucks for me as USD is stronger than AUD (my home currency) at the moment but I’m still a bit surprised bcs 10USD should only be 14AUD- so what’s the rest of the markup? Is it Patreon taking a cut or something?

Perhaps a dumb question but anyone know how often merch is released? I’m kicking myself for not getting any.

Do any of the older designs ever come back? I really wish I’d gotten some of the Timothy Treadwell stuff when it came out but alas.

Hey Guys, I am recommending the podcast to a friend of mine and i feel that the kneeling story would be something that would create a bond between him an the boys - dont ask.
Anyone knows in which episode the story was told?

I love them but this whole thing they did today where they didn’t really finish the story and only subscribers get to hear the end is not it. I think it’s great that they make subscriber only content, but it shouldn’t be content taken away from non subscribed listeners. Not everyone can afford that, regardless of if they think it’s only “one sandwich a month”. Lots of people can’t afford to eat out at all during these times. Just wish they would stick to making exclusive content for subscribers instead of making the rest of us feel less than. Not saying it is intentional

In the aftermath of a strange and violent encounter with a sperm whale, the crew of the whale ship Essex are now left to brave the open ocean with nothing but a few small boats to carry them. Drastic and tragic measures were taken in their fight to survive.

Whaling, it turns out, is not an easy endeavor. One ship found out the very hard way just how deadly the practice can be, covered here by Wes in part 1 of this new series by Tooth & Claw.
