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.

During this activity-filled video, you’ll learn how to draw the crown of thorns sea star, make an origami sea star, and hear a story about a sea star going to the library. You’ll also get to see Jaguar interviewed as a sea star – aka Ulysses S. Grant. Plus, dad jokes and some holiday trombone music.
Grady, Clara, Teddy and mom Ali sit down to talk about the starfish (or is it a sea star?). You’ll learn that this festive-shaped star can come with many, many more arms than you’d imagine, what important things it’s lacking, the strange place its eyes are located, and about its amazing superpower.
In this episode, the crew shares a whole bunch of really, really gross animal facts. If you do not like being grossed out, DO NOT listen to this episode! Animals include a toad that gives birth by baby toads breaking through the skin on its back, a lizard that shoots blood from its eyes, an animal that feasts on human skin, and a sea cucumber that shoots out its internal organs.
In this episode, we get pretty confused talking about opossums v. possums – because they sound the same! We sort it out with the help of Jaguar’s helpful poem. We also learn about why they play dead and why it’s so confusing, other gross defense mechanisms, and lots of other cool facts.
Hi Listeners! We are trying out something new this episode, and swapping an episode with our friend Laine at Nature Nerds, a podcast in the Kids Listen family. We’ve never done this before, but we thought we would try it this time because we really think if you like our show, you’ll also like Nature Nerds. (Our family listened to the whole first season in one day.)
Do you think crows are scary? In this episode, we learn that crows are scary – scary smart! Did you know that crows can solve 8-step puzzles, make and use tools, recognize faces, hold a grudge and even obey traffic lights? In this episode, we learn all about these spooky smart creatures.
On this episode, we talk all about peafowl! New fact for me, only the male peafowl is called a peacock. Who knew! We also give lots of info on the peacock’s beautiful tail (or train), its flying ability, and some cool facts about their eggs.
In this episode, we talk to dragonfly and damselfly expert Dr. Jessica Ware about what makes these insects so cool. And there’s a lot! Like their eyes, the way they can do math even with their tiny insect brains, how big they used to be (and sometimes still are), how long they’ve been around for, and even how you can try to find your own new species of dragonflies.
