Join the Weatherfords for a weekly animal review! In this week’s sixteen-legged episode, Christian weaves a web of truth about the Joro spider & Ellen pulls no punches with the day octopus. We discuss what the media hype gets wrong about the Joro spider, how to eat cephalopod ink & why octopuses and their “swift, explosive motion” are complete reef menaces.
