^{20:37 | Episode: 84 | February 1st, 2019}

We’re exploring two different animals in today’s episode. One has a long neck and the other has a long trunk! We’ll answer: Why are elephants so big? How do their trunks work? Why do they have tusks? Why is elephant skin so rough? Do elephants stomp? Are they actually afraid of mice? And Why are elephants being poached? Peter Wrege of the Elephant Listening Project, which studies elephants in Central African Republic, answers elephant questions. And Steph Fennessy, from the Giraffe Conservation Foundation in Namibia, answers these questions about giraffes: Why do giraffes have long necks? Why do animals have different patterns, like zebras, giraffes, cheetah? What’s a giraffe’s usual life span? And why are their tongues purple?
