What makes a weird animal weird? Once a month, hosts Hank Green and Sarah Suta introduce you to a new bizarre beast and explore the many answers to this question.
If you want to take a bizarre beast home, there’s a pin club for that. Check out our trailer for more information and subscribe to the pin club here: https://store.dftba.com/collections/bizarrebeasts
New episodes go up the first Friday of every month. If you’re already subscribed, you’ll get the pin for that month around the time the episode goes live, and you’re automatically signed up for the next month! If you want to become a new member of the pin club, subscriptions are open for about a week after the video goes live. New subscribers will receive their first pin in the middle of the month, and then keep getting pins whenever a new video goes up!
