In 1993, Roddy Lewis went out looking for the perfect wave to surf off the coast of Maui but found much more than he bargained for below the surface of the water. The guys then wrap up with some talks about the start of a new year, which sees Jeff coming up with a novel but ultimately benevolent new year's resolution.

Ever wondered what really goes through the mind of a grizzly during a confrontation, or how a seemingly docile animal can turn in an instant? Tooth & Claw: True Stories of Animal Attacks digs into the gripping, and often terrifying, reality of human-wildlife conflict. Hosted by wildlife biologist Wes Larson, who brings a deep understanding of animal behavior to each story, the podcast feels like a detailed debrief with friends. He’s regularly joined by his brother Jeff and their friend Mike, creating a dynamic where intense true stories are balanced with relatable conversation and unexpected moments of humor. Together, they meticulously dissect documented attacks, from mountain lion ambushes to unexpected oceanic encounters, explaining the science behind the animal’s actions without sensationalism. Tuning in, you’ll find yourself gaining a profound respect for the power and instincts of wildlife, alongside practical knowledge that could one day prove critical. It’s a unique blend of true crime suspense, natural science, and candid commentary that transforms each episode into a compelling lesson about our place in the natural world. This isn't just about the shock of the attack; it's about understanding the why, and learning how to navigate a world we share with tooth and claw.
