Manage episode 500952230 series 2898095
In 1948, Idaho faced a strange wildlife problem: too many beavers in the wrong place. Their solution? Strap parachutes to them and drop them from planes. In this episode, we dive into the bizarre-but-true history of the Idaho Beaver Drop, one of the weirdest wildlife relocation stories ever. In this episode, we tell the story about Idaho's "Beaver Drop" program and then chat with Writer and Educator, Joe Janes. Did you know The Internet Says It's True is now a book?
