About this episode

The episode explores perceptual narrowing, the unique characteristics of the Honduran White Bat, and the mysteries of the world's deepest cave.

Kirk starts the show this week with an odd story about Perceptual Narrowing. The long and short of it is that babies are better at remembering monkeys than you are. Rachel takes the second slot this week and bring us a story of one of the cutest little bats in the world. These odd creatures are one of the only mammals to get colors from the plants they eat. Let us introduce you to the Honduran White Bat. Victoria gets deep at the end of the show by taking us to the bottom of the deepest cave in the world. Is it really the bottom though? It turns out the deepest depths of the world's deepest cave is yet to be fully explored. Join us weekly for more strange nature. Our supporters on Patreon get every episode ad-free!
