  • Oh, hey, it's that chair you broke.

  • That was not your fault.

  • Allie Ward, this is ologies.

  • This is mega felonology.

  • It's big cats.

  • So you learned way back in our felonology episode about house cats,

  • which we 're going to link in the show notes, that felonology comes from the Latin feloness for cats.

  • Mega means huge, but in Greek.

  • This word is a mishmash, but it's big wild kitties.

  • It includes tigers, panthers, jaguars, common leopards, cheetahs.

  • We also talk about bobcats and cougars, snow leopards.

  • Some of those are the same, and we 'll explain how that works,

  • as well as take you to some remote mountain ranges and sunlit meadows to spy on elusive species that,

  • if they could, would probably knock stuff off of huge bookshelves.

  • Big cats.

  • Big deal.

  • But first, thank you to patrons who support the show for one hot dollar or more every month

  • and who submit questions via patreon. com slash ologies.

  • You too can ask the ologist questions before we record.

  • Thanks to everyone in ologies merch from ologiesmerch. com.
