Last episode until July! We take a sexy look at two very sexy looking animals: the frilled neck lizard of Australia and the secretary bird of Africa. Both with long sexy legs and bodies these two animals are the envy of all supermodels.

This week we take to the ocean so to live out everyone's childhood dream of becoming a marine biologist. But since to ocean is so big and there are too many animals and planet to learn about in 30 minutes we'll just focus on two fish: once from your nightmares and one from the movies.

Just because you're different and/or weird doesn't mean you should be shunned away. Being different shouldn't be frowned upon; its not a curse or a burden. If anything, being different is what makes you, and the animals we're talking about today, amazing! Yes, they are weird but that's all this show is about! Vietnamese Mossy Frog: its a frog that looks like moss and is from Vietnam...duh. As weird as it is for a frog to look like moss what's weirder is their sex life. And Yes, they have a very interesting sex life. And more adventurous then most other animals. Okapi: you probably have never ..read more

Happy St. Patrick's Day! And in honor of this day of drinking, we will learn about the animal that the dick Saint Patrick chased out of Ireland: SNAKES! Snakes are truly amazing and yes, I have talked about a few snake species as well as their tongue but there's plenty of snake facts for everyone. In this episode we learn about why the world is such a dick to snakes. And -spoiler alert- it has to do with certain cultures (looking at you Christianity and Norse mythology). But don't worry there are plenty of other cultures who get it. They get why snakes are important and they too, like me, LOV ..read more

The two most dangerous birds on the planet are probably taller then you: Ostrich and cassowary. Both member of the ratite clan. What's a ratite? Flightless birds (excluding the penguin of course). There are actually five ratite species: ostrich, cassowary, rhea, kiwi, and emu! But what makes them flightless? Why are they flightless? What's the point? Ostriches, the African giant flightless bird, could kill you easiest (especially compared to the kiwi) as they are the largest bird who have also been known to kill lions with a simple swing of their mighty backwards legs. Ostriches have a lot o ..read more
