I am the coyote of the group! This means I am the handsome one, the intelligent one, the one who says all sorts of positive things about himself because he can even though he may be stretching the truth a little. When I'm not hosting or editing the show, you can find me writing the next great furry novel.

Sorry, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to play this episode. Minor technical glitch, perhaps?
I tweaked things. Does it work now?
Yep, works great.
Thanks, Levi.
Are you having Kieth’s problem? I am trying to replicate it.
Nope. I was able to hear it all the way to the end. But thanks for checking on me. It worked fine for me. 🙂
…everyone would be PALER. and i’m on the same boat as Murphy, no play button.
Since we’re just speculating on something which may have been commented on, but we’re unable to access it, I would think that sight would play a less important role. There may even be blind furries out (or in) there, or ones with very well developed night vision.
I wonder if colors would be different underground. Because of the lack of light (or the decrease in the importance of it, would colors, if any be more subdued, more in terms of greys and browns?
that would seem likely, cats vision are better in dark, and, to my knowledge, are less able to see colors. sort of a price to pay for the better vision in less light, besides, except for a few caves, there’s not much color: yellow-brown sandstone, gray stones, white corals, it depends on the geography, but not very many caves are known to have very vibrant colors.
on the topic of the adaption, lights would slowly lose importance after living constantly underground. there’s also magnesium, a flammable ‘dust’ and can burn, which can be used for torches and similar uses.
on food…well…I have nothing to add…other than mosquito burgers down here in florida would be welcome…but probably not commonly eaten.
the recording only goes to 15m… XP
