Ep 5: A Mathematically Inclined Equine

Today on Bewilderbeasts we’re going to talk about an animal who has cubed poop (OW! And, EW!) and we talk about a mathematically inclined equine, and his owner - a former slave turned veterinarian in the 1800s who vowed never to teach animals with a whip. 

If you have ideas for future episodes, know of historical animals who changed the world, animals who help humans, or wacky animals in the news, send them in to:
