In this Earth Day-themed episode of 'Wow in the World,' hosts Skyros and Mindy kick off 'Two Whats?! And A Wow!' with a shark-themed game show, challenging listeners to distinguish real scientific wonders from cleverly fabricated facts. The first round reveals that some sharks can turn their stomachs inside out to expel indigestible material, a bizarre but true adaptation. In round two, the epaulette shark's ability to 'walk' on land using its muscular fins during low tide is confirmed as the real wow. The final round highlights the goblin shark’s lightning-fast, extendable jaws—capable of snapping prey at 10 feet per second, the fastest bite in the ocean. A bonus 'Bonker Balls' round adds fun by revealing that animals flee more quickly from human voices than from lion growls or dog barks, underscoring the power of human presence in nature. The episode closes with a playful dive into the 'deep sea' via a virtual prize cannon and invites listeners to join the World Organization of Wowzers for ongoing science fun.
