Episode description
Kat covers the Cobra Effect, a maddening effect of government policies that backfire and do the opposite of what they intended. The consequences don't always involve animals, but when they do, it's RAT CITY in 1902 Hanoi, Tonkin, French Indochina. Explore the mystical origins of hamsters and the wonders of rat milk. Next, Hayley covers the Seven Sutherland Sisters, whose hair was so long (37 feet split between them all) they traveled in the circus as performers! Their lives became unrecognizable from their humble upbringing as turkey farmers... We want to be them.
