Cool Facts About Animals is a podcast by kids, for kids. Each episode, we share the coolest facts about animals. Sometimes we speak with experts. Sometimes we just speak with ourselves. We love to give tips at the end about how kids can help protect animals and the environment.

In honor of one of our favorite holidays, we are rebroadcasting our April Fools Day episode from last year, starring Mr. Eric of What if World. It’s our most popular episode of all time and we hope you enjoy it!
On this episode, we take advantage of the amazing Skype a Scientist program and speak with Dr. Dan Killam, an expert on giant clams.

On this bonus episode of CFAA, we speak with Allyson Shaw, an editor and writer at National Geographic Kids. In this interview we learn about “comeback critters,” animals that were struggling but are now doing a lot better because of human intervention, as well as animals that still really need our help. We also talk about the dangers and benefits of plastic, and practical tips to reduce plastic consumption.
Hello listeners! On this episode we are learning all about Koalas (not bears). We learn a number of really gross things that these animals do, despite being so cute, and some other cool facts – like how small the babies are, what their name means and all sorts of interesting things about their hands and feet. We also talk about how you can help koalas suffering from the effects of the bush fires, including by “adopting” a koala through the Australia Koala Foundation: https://www.savethekoala.com
We have another bonus episode in store for you today! We speak with Dr. Jim Sanderson, a conservationist and Program Manager of Wild Cat Conservation at the Global Wildlife Conservation. We wanted to speak with him about the Andean Cat, because he is one of the very few people to ever see one in nature. While we did learn some cool things about the cat, we also learned a lot about a new field – conservationism.
We were excited to receive a copy of “A Book of Rather Strange Animals” by Caleb Compton. Just like it sounds, the book is a collection of unusual, weird, wacky, and just plain cool animals. In this episode we talk about a few of the animals in the book: the purple frog; sea bunny; hammerhead worm; and vampire squid.
