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.

This little guy is only the size of a golf ball, but has enough venom to kill 26 grown men in its saliva. We talk about symbiotic relationships, what its venom does, and, oh, zombie powder.
It’s our one-year anniversary! We are celebrating with an episode about… porcupines! Okay, it has nothing to do with our anniversary, but still… porcupines!
Ahoy, CFA listeners! We took a road trip to the Oregon Coast to meet with Luke Parsons, an interpretive ranger with Oregon State Parks and see the great gray whale migration. Over 20,000 of these school-bus sized whales pass by the Oregon coast around this time of year. We even got to see one! And we learned lots of cool stuff about them.
How cool would it be to get a chance to bring a species back from the brink of extinction? Travis Koons of the Oregon Zoo tells us all about it in this bonus interview episode.
This bird isn’t cool just because its wingspan rivals the length of a grizzly bar on its hind paws. Nope, this bird battled its way back from the brink of extinction – just 22 in the wild to now close to 500 in the wild and in captivity. We talk about what makes this bird so awesome, and the rescue efforts behind it, in this episode. Be sure to also check out our episode right next to this in your feed where we interview Travis Koons of the Oregon Zoo. THANK YOU to Oregon Wild for bringing us along to the zoo with them.
We were so honored to get a chance to Skype with Dr. Bruce Mate of Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute. He is the expert on marine mammals, including blue whales. We learned so much from him, and had such a good time talking about all things whales – from his ground-breaking research to touching whale poop. (Yes, we go there.)
This episode is part of a double episode. Be sure to check out our interview with Dr. Bruce Mate of Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute too!
