Today on the show, HOT FUZZ! We're taking about fluffy animals who manage hairdoos without *hair* persay, that's right, these are furries without the fur, critters that look really pettable (but you probably shouldn't). How do you get fuzzy without being mammalian? Joining me today is friend of the show, friend to all animals and host of Just the Zoo of Us, Ellen Weatherford!
