Nature’s Most Wanted: Sus Animas on Trial
Listen to the Episode
Episode Summary
After a run of heavy episodes, Miranda and Nanette needed a palate cleanser. So naturally… they chose crime. In this episode of Seriously Sus, we put the animal kingdom on trial and ask the only question that matters:Which animals are the most suspicious—and why are they getting away with it?
From honey badgers that refuse to disengage (emotionally or physically), to dolphins who may have curated the greatest PR scam in nature, we open the case files on animals that are charming, intelligent, and deeply untrustworthy. We rate each suspect on the official (very scientific) Sus Scale, attempt a doomed Dolphin PR crisis response, defend animals in court during Animal Alibis, and ultimately ask you to decide:Who was the most sus of them all?
This episode is light, sassy, research‑backed, and unhinged in the best way. If you’ve ever trusted a dolphin, underestimated a raccoon, or made eye contact with a crow and felt judged — this one’s for you.

Resources and Support
If this episode made you feel personally betrayed by dolphins, judged by crows, or suspicious of your trash can — you’re not alone.
- Take a deep breath. The animals are not listening. Probably.
- Touch grass. Preferably without making eye contact with birds.
- Avoid marine mammals for 24–48 hours
- Apologize out loud to the nearest crow, just in case
- Check your trash can lid for emotional closure
- Remember: curiosity is healthy, judgment is optional, and raccoons cannot open every container. Yet.
If this episode stirred up bigger feelings — stress, anxiety, or existential dread — we encourage you to step away, reset, and seek real support from trusted people or mental health professionals. The honey badger would want you to advocate for yourself.
