Man Eaters

2025 was a big year for Man Eaters... and also a truly awful one for anyone who found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong animal. In this Best Of compilation, we’re revisiting some of the wildest, weirdest and most unforgettable moments from the past year. From apex predators doing what they do best, to bizarre human decisions that made things… significantly worse, this episode is a highlights reel of teeth, claws, chaos and questionable judgment. Whether you’re catching up on episodes you missed or reliving your favourite moments, this is Man Eaters at its most intense, fascinating and occasionally darkly funny.

In 1932, the Australian Army went to war with emus… and lost. At least, that’s how the story usually goes. In this redux episode of Man Eaters, we revisit the Great Emu War - one of the internet’s favourite historical punchlines - to separate the meme from the truth. What actually happened when soldiers, machine guns, and tens of thousands of migrating birds collided in Western Australia during the Great Depression? Spoiler: it wasn’t really a war, nobody surrendered, and the emus weren’t tactical geniuses.
