Victoria starts off today's show with a completely bizarre parasite. Usually parasites are secretive and don't want to be seen but the amazing Green Banded Broodsac absolutely loves attention and goes great lengths to be seen.

Kirk is up next and, big surprise here, he has a bird story for us. It turns out that not only are New Caledonian Crows super intelligent but research shows they also have handedness. That makes them only the second species on Earth other than humans to display this quality.

Rachel rounds out the last episode of the year with a thought to be extinct mole that lives in the desert? The research methods of finding not only evidence of, but living De Winton's Golden Mole is wild.
