The full story and the real reporting behind it (Popular Science) →
What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: Popular Science.
Vera BullockPopular Science reports vampire birds in remote Ecuador that hunt and drink blood, and I want to say up front that I stand with the bird.
Dale BearmanYou stand with it. Vera, it drinks blood. That's in the headline, and I'd like that on the record before you start a fan club.
Brock ThundersonCan I just say, I've said for years that something was out there in Ecuador. Nobody listened.
Brock ThundersonI don't know what it was, but I said it.
Dale BearmanYou've never been to Ecuador.
Brock ThundersonI've studied Ecuador on a map for years, and let me tell you, the geography screams danger.
Vera BullockLet me finish. These birds are misunderstood, and nobody on this panel can even tell me what kind of bird it is.
Dale BearmanA small one, with an appetite. That's all any of us has, and we're all talking like experts.
Brock ThundersonHitchcock saw this coming, and he's not even here to defend himself.
Vera BullockDale, I've drafted the bird's apology statement, and it's very warm.
Dale BearmanIt hasn't said sorry.
Vera BullockIt's drinking, Dale. It'll get to it.
