Tooth & Claw is back with another multi-part series, this time concerning the men of the famed United States heavy cruiser that was sunk during the efforts of World War 2, and the sharks who couldn't pass up the tragic but opportune feast that now floated helplessly in the ocean water. This one gets intense, so prepare for some graphic conversation and content.
In the second half of the episode, the guys are joined by Dan Abbott, an underwater cinematographer that specializes in sharks as well as one of the stars of the hit Netflix show All the Sharks.

love love love your podcast, it's been my favorite for a long time...everything about the entire show is amazing and interesting and informative...but....the best part is the 3 of you joking around...I literally laugh out loud , you guys are awesome!
Great episode !
Bridger died in Kansas City in 1881 at the age of 77.
it's niblings!
OMG I'm so stoked to listen to ya'll tell this one! 🫶🏻
screw the negative comments. I love you guys. I learn a lot, appreciate animals more, and find Wes to be amazing, soothing, and easy to follow. all the little side conversations are cute and usually share fun information. I don't care for chitchat on podcasts, but yours feels natural and suits the podcasts. keep it the way it is. by the way, I got a T-shirt and absolutely love it.
This is why big dogs are better than little dogs
Counting Crows!!!!! 😅
GOAT athlete: Simone Biles
I remember the Trials of Life series! Really great nature documentary 👍
Jeff for president! 🦈
One of these guys posited that maybe AI taking over the world might not be such a bad thing. Hmmm I wonder... 🤔
You guys should watch all of the pink panther movies and also you should watch duck soup
the advertisement every 10 minutes is going to make me obliterate this podcast attempt from orbit
I love this podcast!! I like your animal facts Wes and I listen to this all the time. All of you are very funny.
no kidding, whenever I hear your intro music I think about Walkabout Mini-Golf. I started listening to this podcast and playing walkabout at the same time and Tooth and Claw is all i would listen to while practicing solo!
I was absolutely captivated by the "Agent of Betrayal: Tooth & Claw: True Stories of Animal Attacks" podcast. As a nature enthusiast and wildlife lover, I found the stories of animal attacks both thrilling and informative. The way the podcast delved into the motivations and behaviors of these animals gave me a new perspective on their actions. http://www.place123.net/place/sticker-printing-pros-los-angeles-ca-usa The storytelling was impeccable, and the way the hosts narrated the accounts of these encounters with such detail and empathy for both the victims and the animals involved was truly commendable. https://www.n49.com/biz/5642066/sticker-printing-pros-ca-los-angeles-1054-w-florence-ave/
I don't think castbox is heavily used, and as a result know this comment likely isn't going to be seen by anyone. I'm going to humor myself and speak into the void for a moment anyways. Was excited when meshuggah was mentioned and it made my heart so warm to hear praise for spiritbox/Courtney so out of the blue. I nearly ascended (heh) when sleep token was mentioned. They aren't everyone's cup of tea, but TMBTE is fresh on my mind, and, with all sincerity, it has changed me as a person. An explanation and exploration of how would be entirely too lengthy. They're certainly a band worth checking out for anyone who isn't a genre purist.
omg tigers are my No.1 and Great Whites no. 2.
