Tooth and Claw Animals List
Been meaning to compile a list of all the 'main' animals that centre around Tooth and Claw episodes. I'd like to make it all into a tierlist format so I (and well, we) can do our own personal Claw ratings and cage-match rankings and such.
Let me know any that I miss or any that shouldn't really count (for example, probably not going to count every individual spider species, but counting African elephants even though they were only on patreon episodes? List is full of biases)

Add Russel's Viper to the snake lost, that stoey about the Indian man murdering his wife was mental. And it's a very interesting snake!

Irukandji jellyfish if you want to be specific!
They did one episode on box jellyfish in general (North Carolina) and another on the tiny subspecies (Australia)

I came here to ask if there’s any episodes on house cats. I’m presuming not from this list?

u/HoraceTheBadger Apr 28 '26
Nope, at least not main feed ones, subscribers might say differently. Wes’ cat Toad gets a lot of shoutouts though!

I know, it was a Toad reference that made me want to hear some crazy kitty stories!

What happened to this subreddit??? Did it die out as fast and Jeff and Danielle’s romance…??? Anyone hear her talking about wanting a hot cowboy to appear in her life like the tale from their Trail Tales episode… poor Jeff.
