Brown Bear Feb 11, 2018

Show notes

It's Corduroy's lucky day! Today we are learning all about the massive brown bear. This is a special episode because we actually get to talk to someone (Grandpa!) who has seen a few brown bears in person. We hear about his experiences with them, and then give you some cool facts about them - including how many moths they eat (you won't believe it) and how tiny the cubs are when born (you won't believe that either). We end the podcast with an interview with a volunteer from the Audubon Society about the upcoming backyard bird count.

African Wild Dog Feb 01, 2018

Show notes

On this episode of Cool Facts About Animals, we get to our next listener request: the African Wild Dog (thanks Ingram!). These dogs are so neat - they are very social, they vote by doing something super weird, and they sometimes kidnap their pups. Yup, it's a cool one. Thanks for the suggestion, Ingram!

Beaver Jan 29, 2018

Show notes

On this episode of Cool Facts About Animals, the kids and I share lots of cool information about the beaver. Just a few of the things we learned--they have a "mud room" in their "lodge," along with a mini-fridge (nice man cave!), their teeth never stop growing--nor do their bodies, and they can keep water from getting into their ears and noses. There's lots more fun facts about the beaver in this episode. Check it out! Please rate and review us on iTunes. We really appreciate it!
