The Lion: Featuring Special Guest Nick "Fantastic" Fantauzzi

This week we are not only discussing the king of the jungle but also the king of the ring Nick Fantauzzi (professional boxer with an impressive 10-0 record)!

This episode is one of our special worlds collide episodes (meaning having a non animal expert guest on) check out our other two worlds collide episodes from last year! As previously stated, the purpose of these types of episodes are to bring together individuals and groups of people that at first glance seem completely unrelated and indifferent to each other. This combination always yields a fun and interesting episode that expands both parties horizons while also showing that non-animal experts also care about conservation and wildlife as well!
