Bat

Ranking The Kingdom

PANIC ROOM EDITION

Things go down the eighth time 'round on Ranking The Kingdom.

Not only is it time to review the Bat, the third or fourth scariest of all the animals (they're behind spiders and snakes for sure), but it's also Halloween! Will something spooky happen? Do Bats have any hope of beating Moose, Fire Ants, or the freaking Killer Whale? Am I seriously still asking three bullcrap questions and calling it a podcast description? You bet your sweet bippy I am.

It's time to review the Bat, on Ranking The Kingdom.
