2. Why It's the Way It Is: Understanding Animal Eyes

Timestamp: [02:54 – 11:06]

In the "Why It's the Way It Is" segment, Steven Rinella delves into the fascinating differences in eye placement between predators and prey animals. He explains how these anatomical features are adaptations that serve their survival needs.

• Predators’ Eyes: Positioned close together at the front of the head, providing binocular vision and depth perception essential for hunting. Example: Foxes and domestic dogs use their forward-facing eyes to focus on prey and judge distances accurately.

• Prey Animals’ Eyes: Located on the sides of the head, offering a wide field of view to detect predators. Example: Rabbits can see nearly 360 degrees around them, allowing them to spot threats from almost any direction.

Rinella also touches on the variation in pupil shapes among animals, linking horizontal slit pupils to prey animals for enhanced peripheral vision, and vertical slit pupils to nocturnal predators for better light intake and depth perception.

Quote:
Steven Rinella: “Predators have eyes in the front of their head that are close together. Prey animals have eyes off the side of their head that are spread way out.” [10:40]

3. Humorous Interlude

Timestamp: [11:06 – 11:13]

A brief joke segment adds levity to the episode, engaging the young audience with humor related to wildlife.

Joke:
Kid: “What's a shark's favorite sandwich? Peanut butter and jellyfish.” [11:06]

4. How to Make a Critter Call: Barred Owl Hoot

Timestamp: [11:13 – 14:49]

Clay Newcombe takes the lead in teaching young hunters how to mimic the call of a barred owl, a crucial skill for turkey hunting.

• Barred Owl Characteristics: Native to North America, these nocturnal raptors have silent flight due to specialized feather structures and are highly vocal, making their hoots valuable for hunters.

• Learning the Hoot: Clay introduces a mnemonic to replicate the barred owl's call: “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all?” By shaping the lips into an "O" and projecting the sound from the chest, listeners can practice the specific cadence of the hoot.

Quote:
Clay Newcombe: “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all? And so we're going to replace each of those words with a hoot.” [13:26]

5. Kids' Game Show Trivia: Conservation Challenge

Timestamp: [14:58 – 24:36]

The episode transitions into an interactive trivia game led by Mabel, featuring young participants: Mabel, Matthew, Rosie, Hayden, Conley, Sage, Hattie, and Bae. The objective is to answer conservation-themed questions correctly to raise funds for the National Wild Turkey Federation's Jake's Country magazine.

• Question 1: What object in the night sky is known as Ursa Major?

  • Choices: North Star, Big Dipper, Full Moon
  • Correct Answer: Big Dipper
  • Winner’s Insight: Ursa Major, Latin for Great Bear, is recognized differently across cultures (e.g., as a ladle, a large bear, or an ox with a plow).

• Question 2: What’s it called when an animal regrows a body part?

  • Choices: Photosynthesis, Regeneration, Fermentation
  • Correct Answer: Regeneration
  • Educational Highlight: Examples include salamanders regrowing tails and starfish regenerating arms.

• Question 3: Which of these states does not touch the Mississippi River?

  • Choices: Missouri, Mississippi, New York
  • Correct Answer: New York
  • Additional Facts: The Mississippi River flows through nine states, excluding New York.

Throughout the game, participants discuss their reasoning, sometimes humorously second-guessing themselves, which adds an engaging and relatable dynamic for young listeners.

Quote:
Mabel: “Ursa Major is Latin for Great Bear or Big Bear. And although most look at the constellation and see a ladle for scooping water, the Greeks and Native Americans saw a large bear, while the Egyptians saw an ox pulling a plow.” [16:49]

It'S time for why it's the Way It Is. Today on why it's the Way It Is, we're going to talk about eyeballs, which seems kind of funny, but we're not going to talk about how eyeballs work necessarily. We're going to talk about where eyeballs sit on an animal's head, okay? Meaning why are a rabbit, like, picture a rabbit in your mind. Why are a rabbit's eyes kind of buggy and they stick out and they're positioned way out on the sides of his head? All right? Compared to why are your eyeballs in the front of your head in real close together? The answer to that question is where your eyeballs sit on your head or where an animal's eyeballs sit on its head has to do with whether the animal is a predator, meaning it hunts for other animals to eat, or it's a prey animal or a vegetarian or herbivore, meaning it eats vegetation and gets hunted by predators. Let's start for a minute with your own head, okay? Let's think about your own head for a second. Your eyes are a predator's eyes, all right? You have a couple predator things on you. You have eye teeth. They're like canine teeth, pointy teeth, okay? That's a predator adaptation. And you have eyes that sit close together on the front of your head. So as a predator, what you're pretty good at is you're good at focusing on something and telling how far away it is. Okay? That's your specialty. Now let's, let's jump to a rabbit. A rabbit has eyes, buggy eyes, way out on the side of its head. Here's the crazy thing about a rabbit. A rabbit can pretty much see straight behind it. If you imagine a circle, we describe a circle as a 360 degree loop, okay? A rabbit can see most of that 360 degree circle around itself. It can't see directly right behind its skull, but it can see behind itself, okay? Because those eyes that are stuck out to the sides of its head are looking all around. The right eye is seeing its own world off to the right, and the left eye is seeing its own world way off to the left. The eyes don't do a lot of what we call binocular vision, meaning the eyes don't work together to aim and concentrate on a specific item. A rabbit's eyes or a deer's eyes or a cow's eyes are just surveying all around them. They need to detect a threat, movement, right? So if it's a rabbit, he is looking in an almost complete circle around him while he eats, while he does whatever he does, he just sits there and rests. He's looking at almost a complete circle around him. And his eyes are really good at picking up on a movement which signifies the approach of a predator. The rabbit doesn't need to stare at the predator. The rabbit doesn't need to tell exactly how far away the predator is. He just needs to know it's there and what direction it is so he can run the other way. He's a pretty prey animal and he's watching out for predators. Let's jump to a predator's eyes for a minute, how they sit really close together. So let's jump to, say, the fox. And if you kind of want to understand the, the eye placement on a fox, if you have a pet dog, very, very similar. They're both canines. Your dog's eyes are really close together on his head. Now, your dog has, okay, peripheral vision, like he can see off to the side pretty good, right? But his specialty is, is that he can use both of his closely placed eyes to focus on something. And you'll notice if you watch a dog or watch a cat and they're watching something moving around, both of their eyes are moving to track its motion. They're using binocular vision, meaning their eyes are working together. What that does is that gives you something called depth perception. Okay, so let's jump to a cat, for instance. A cat is watching a mouse go across the floor. He's watching it with both of those eyes. He's using his binocular vision, which is giving the cat depth perception, Meaning that cat, by using both of its eyes, knows that when it jumps, it knows exactly how far away that mouse is because it's using both of his eyes to look at it. It knows exactly how far that mouse is, and he's going to jump on it and grab it. So that explains a little bit about why your eyes are positioned where they are or why an animal's eyes are positioned where they are on its head. But let's talk for one quick second about their pupils. Now, if you look in the mirror at your own eye, your pupil is the dark spot in the center of your eye. Your pupil could be brown, it could be blue, maybe you have green eyes. Whatever it is, that's the pupil, that circle thing, it's a circle on, on you, on a human, but on a lot of predators and prey, the pupils have a Different shape. They're like a long slit. They're kind of like a bar. Okay, now, on a lot of prey animals, like if you go look at a. Let's say a horse or a goat, you go look at its. Its pupil is horizontal, so it's like a flat bar that runs horizontally. If you look at a cat, its pupil is a vertical bar that runs up and down. This is another way that the structure of the eye helps you do what your main job is. That horizontal pupil is meant for looking way around in a circle, all around you. It's meant to have really good peripheral vision. And what's crazy is if you watch, like, let's say you're watching a horse, and he's got that slit pupil, that vert, that horizontal bar pupil. When a horse drops his head down to eat grass, his eyes are not staring at the ground. His eyes roll almost like, roll back into the back of his head so that that horizontal bar stays horizontal. So he's always scanning. So even when his head's down eating grass, he's scanning all around him for predators. These other animals with the vertical slit are animals sometimes that hunt at night. So that vertical slit is good for gathering light. And it also seems to be really good for determining distance and depth perception. Again, because he's focusing on something he wants to jump on and kill. And that eye, that shape of that pupil and where his eyes sit on his head allows him to focus on it and know how far away it is. So then when it makes its attack, when it makes its leap, it's very accurate. So here's the thing you can do as you drive around with your parents or you walk around or whatever, you look at different pets you might have, or you go and you're at a farm and you look at different farm animals, take a look at their eyes and think about where those eyes are placed on their head and take a look at their pupils and see how their pupils are shaped and see if what I'm telling you makes sense. There are exceptions to these rules I'm giving you. So you might catch me where you think I was wrong. Because there are some exceptions, but what I'm telling you is generally true. Predators have eyes in the front of their head that are close together. Prey animals have eyes off the side of their head that are spread way out. And they look kind of buggy, they're kind of sticking out so they can see all around them real good. So pay attention out there. When you're looking at animals and you tell me If I seem like I'm kind of right, or if I seem like I'm kind of wrong, I think I'm kind of right.

[Kid]

What's a shark's favorite sandwich? Peanut butter and jellyfish.

[Host]

Now it's time for how to make a critter call. Clay here is going to teach you how to make the sound of a barred owl.

[Clay Newcombe]

Hey, kids, my name is Clay Newcombe, and I want to teach you today about how you can call animals with your own voice. There are some animals that the human voice box is really good at mimicking, and today I want to teach you something that I love to do, and that is to call barred owls. B A R R E D Barred owls. The barred owl lives in North America and it typically lived in the eastern deciduous forest, like the east habit half of America. But in the last period of time, they've migrated and moved and spread into the Pacific Northwest, all the way up into Alaska. I heard a barred owl in Alaska the other day. The barred owl is an incredible animal, and it's a raptor. It's a predator. It catches mice and small mammals. And to me, the most unique thing about it is that they are almost completely nocturnal, which means they only come out and hunt at night. That's primarily when they're out and when they hunt. And they have incredible vision. But here it is. When they fly, they don't make a sound. The tips of their feathers are built in such a way that when it flows across the air, it doesn't make a noise. I think that's really cool. But the barred owl is very vocal. They make noises all the time. And my dad taught me how to bar dahoot. And there's a phrase that we can use that'll help us remember the sequence and cadence of the noise. And it's this. Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all? Say that with me. Say, who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all? And so we're going to replace each of those words with a hoot. And you make a hoot by making your lips into kind of an O shape, and from deep down in your chest go, oh. So you make the barred alcohol by connecting hoots into that specific sequence and cadence of who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all? And it sounds something like this.

[Host]

O.

[Clay Newcombe]

Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all? I want you to try it now. Try that. And the reason that I like the bar owl hoot is that if you're a turkey hunter, we use the bar owl hoot to locate turkeys which is kind of wild. But a male turkey will gobble at the sound of a barred owl hooting. And we call it a shock gobble. It's almost like they're shocked that they heard an owl and so they. They gobble. And so that's the reason a barred owl hood is really important to a turkey hunter. And it's important to a lot of people that like to hunt. Let's try it again one last time. The barred owl hoot. Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all?

[Kid]

How did the bear feel after he ate the comedian? He felt funny.

[Host]

It's time for everyone's favorite game show trivia. Lets all join in.

[Mabel]

I'm joined by Mabel, Matthew, Rosie, Hayden, Conley, Sage, Hattie and Bae. Each player will earn $10 for conservation. With every question they get right today, there's a potential for this room to earn up to $240 this week. That donation is going to the National Wild Turkey Federation, which publishes the kids magazine about wildlife conservation called Jake's Country. Lets see how much money our players can raise. Question 1. What object in the night sky is known as Ursa Major? Is it the North Star, the Big Dipper or Full Moon? What object in the night sky is known as Ursa Major? Is it North Star, Big Dipper or Full Moon? Last week our players were very confident. They declared the questions were too easy, but this one may have stumped them.

[Kid]

What's the other one? What's the.

[Mabel]

Wait. What's the other one? Your three choices are North Star, Big Dipper or Full Moon. One of those things is called Ursa Major. Not so cocky now are we kids?

[Host]

No, I got it.

[Kid]

I'm so excited.

[Mabel]

Is everybody ready?

[Kid]

Yes.

[Mabel]

Go ahead and reveal your answers.

[Kid]

Bae, North Star.

[Mabel]

Rosie, North Star.

[Kid]

Mabel, North Star. Hattie, Big Dipper.

[Mabel]

Hayden, Big Dipper. Sage, North Star. Conley.

[Kid]

North Star.

[Mabel]

Matthew, the Big Dipper. The correct answer is the Big Dipper.

[Kid]

Let's go. Let's go.

[Mabel]

About half of you got that right.

[Kid]

Howdy. Out if you're not.

[Mabel]

Ursa Major is Latin for Great Bear or Big Bear. And although most look at the constellation and see a ladle for scooping water, the Greeks and Native Americans saw a large bear, while the Egyptians saw an ox pulling a plow. So if Ursa Major is the Big Dipper, then what do you guys think the name for the Little Dipper is? Ursa Minor. There you go. You got it, Hayden. Ursa Minor is the Little Dipper.

[Kid]

Ursa. Bigger. Ursa minor.

[Mabel]

Question 2. What's it called when an animal regrows a body part. Photosynthesis, regeneration, or fermentation. What's it called when an animal regrows a body part? Photosynthesis, regeneration, or fermentation. You got this one right, Matthew?

[Kid]

No, no, I think I do.

[Mabel]

Okay.

[Kid]

Roses. It would be embarrassing if I actually didn't have it.

[Mabel]

And then why would it be so embarrassing?

[Kid]

Well, because we talk about, like, things like regrowing stuff a lot. And, like. So. Yeah.

[Mabel]

Mabel, how do you feel about your answer?

[Kid]

I'm pretty. Pretty happy with it. Just because I don't know.

[Mabel]

Okay, Sage, you're not. You're not real.

[Kid]

I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get it right. I know.

[Mabel]

What's it called when an animal regrows a body part? Photosynthesis, regeneration, or fermentation. What do you got, Conley?

[Kid]

I know it's not one of them.

[Mabel]

Okay, you've narrowed it down to two of the three?

[Kid]

Yes.

[Clay Newcombe]

50%.

[Mabel]

Is everybody ready?

[Kid]

Yes. Yeah.

[Mabel]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Bae.

[Kid]

Regeneration.

[Mabel]

Rosie?

[Kid]

Fermentation.

[Mabel]

Mabel?

[Kid]

Regeneration.

[Mabel]

Hattie?

[Kid]

Regeneration.

[Mabel]

Hayden.

[Kid]

I think I got regeneration.

[Mabel]

Sage?

[Kid]

Regeneration.

[Mabel]

Conley?

[Kid]

Fermentation.

[Mabel]

Matthew?

[Kid]

Fermentation.

[Mabel]

The correct answer is regeneration.

[Kid]

Let's go.

[Mabel]

Room did pretty well. Photosynthesis is. Plants turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. Fermentation is the chemical breakdown of a substance. And regeneration is the process of replacing damaged cells, tissues, or organs. Some animals with regeneration are salamanders, who can regrow their tail. Starfish, who can regrow their arms. And axolotls, who can regrow their legs.

[Kid]

I love axolotls.

[Mabel]

You love them. Now, if you could grow an extra leg or an extra arm, which would you pick?

[Kid]

Leg.

[Mabel]

Do you want the extra leg? What are you gonna do with the extra leg, Matthew?

[Kid]

Well, if I regrowed my leg, I think it'd be more helpful.

[Mabel]

More helpful.

[Kid]

Because I could just. I could just get a. One of those robotic things.

[Mabel]

You're gonna need some extra shoes. I think you might be tripping over your foot.

[Kid]

An extra toe?

[Mabel]

An extra toe?

[Kid]

Yeah.

[Mabel]

Now, this side of the room wanted an extra arm.

[Kid]

No, I want an extra brain toe. Yeah, because you could grab more stuff at the same time.

[Mabel]

There you go.

[Kid]

That is true. Scare people. But, like, extra toes are just cool. Like, because, like, you could be, like, you have toes. I actually have 11 toes. Like, well, everybody else has 10. I have 11.

[Mabel]

I can't debate that.

[Kid]

That's the same as, like, an arm. You have two arms. I have three. Yeah. I choose arms. Toes are better than I choose arms.

[Mabel]

Question 3. Which of these states does not touch the Mississippi River? Is it Missouri, Mississippi or New York? Which of these states does not touch the Mississippi River? Missouri.

[Kid]

This one's easy.

[Mabel]

Mississippi or New York?

[Kid]

Okay, but you guys realize that it could actually be what you guys are thinking. It's not because New York is all the way at, like, the top of the usa. I know. I'm not saying it. That the Missouri river is in New York. What I'm saying is that I think I got it wrong.

[Mabel]

You think I tried to trick you, Rosie?

[Kid]

I'm sure I got it right. Yeah.

[Mabel]

Okay, is everybody ready? Which of these states does not touch the Mississippi? Is it Missouri, Mississippi or New York? Go ahead and reveal your answers.

[Kid]

Bae, New York.

[Mabel]

Rosie, New York. Mabel, New York. Hattie, New York. Hayden, New York. Sage, New York. Conley, New York. Matthew, New York. Everybody got it right. The correct answer was New York. New York is about 600 miles away from the Mississippi River. Besides Missouri and Mississippi, the river flows through eight other states. So here's what we're going to do. For every state you guys can name that touches the Mississippi river, we're going to add an extra $10 to the donation. But it's three strikes and you're out. So everybody talk it over about what states you think could be. And then Mabel will deliver the final answer.

[Kid]

Mississippi. Mississippi. Oh, gosh. Missouri.

[Mabel]

So you know Mississippi and Missouri. There are eight other states.

[Kid]

What about Ohio?

[Mabel]

Both of the Dakotas, maybe. What do you think it is?

[Kid]

I think I'm gonna go with North Dakota. It's Minnesota.

[Clay Newcombe]

Oh, my gosh.

[Kid]

How do you know? How do you know you're not. You don't know.

[Mabel]

Matt, North Dakota is not one of the states. That is.

[Clay Newcombe]

I said twice.

[Kid]

Is Minnesota. Do better.

[Mabel]

Okay, Mabel, wait.

[Kid]

Minnesota.

[Mabel]

Give us a second state.

[Kid]

Kentucky. Second state. Oh, gosh. Okay.

[Mabel]

Matthew is pretty confident.

[Host]

Kentucky.

[Kid]

Minnesota.

[Mabel]

Do you trust him?

[Kid]

Yes. Don't trust him. I don't really trust him. No, don't trust. It's. No, no. Trust me. I. I swear it's right. It's right.

[Mabel]

The good news is, if Matthew is wrong, you can. He'll hear about it for the rest of his life. So. But if he's right, you guys add $10.

[Kid]

For trusting. You don't have to do it. But I'm just saying you could because I think nobody else is giving me any help. And I have no idea. Like, why do you know Kentucky? But.

[Mabel]

Okay, man.

[Kid]

Okay. Minnesota.

[Mabel]

Minnesota.

[Host]

What?

[Mabel]

Is correct. That is one of them. That means there are seven More states to go or two strikes. Mabel, do you want to give us another state?

[Kid]

I don't really want to, but I don't know.

[Mabel]

Do you want to give the responsibility to someone else?

[Kid]

Sure. Yes. Me. Okay.

[Mabel]

Hattie has a responsibility. Give me a state. Hattie, you have one strike and seven states to go.

[Kid]

This is kind of scary. I know it is. I'll just. I'll trust Sage. Kentucky.

[Mabel]

Kentucky is correct, you guys. And one strike. Who else wants to give us an answer? Hayden, do you want to be in charge of the next. Rosie would like to be in charge.

[Kid]

I'm in charge now.

[Mabel]

Do you guys have any input for Rosie on what the next state Maybe like do the.

[Kid]

I think maybe the Virginia's. Kentucky. Wait, is Alabama touching Kentucky? Yes. I agree with Mabel. Alabama. Yeah. Alabama.

[Mabel]

Alabama is incorrect. You guys have two.

[Kid]

You want to win two strikes and.

[Mabel]

Six states to go. Sage, you're gonna be in charge of the next one. Do you guys have any input for Sage and want the next stage?

[Kid]

No, don't do Ohio. Please don't. No, say Ohio. Wait, wait, wait. Maybe. Maybe like Jordan. Wait, does Montana.

[Mabel]

No.

[Kid]

Montana.

[Mabel]

Okay, Sage, give us a state.

[Kid]

Virginia.

[Mabel]

Virginia, please. Is incorrect. That is your third try.

[Kid]

Idaho.

[Mabel]

Strike. Idaho is incorrect.

[Kid]

My bad.

[Mabel]

6. The other six states are Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana. But the good news is you guys added an extra $20 to the end. So, Phil the engineer, how much money.

[Phil the Engineer]
