Keeper Chat

Cocktail-weenie with a toothpick in it. Sea sausage. Tube boy. Unicorn. That's right, it's Narwhal time.

Get ready to have your podcast pants blown off. Moray Eel are the Party City of the ocean.

Fauna teaches about the loris which is VENOMOUS. I'm screaming, thats wild.

We answer listener submitted questions. How do Flora & Fauna like being zookeepers? Is it a good job? Is it what you thought it would be when you first started looking into zookeeping? What degrees do you both have?

More importantly, would you rather be stung by an irukandji on your foot or have a falcon stoop into the back of your head?

We dedicate another episode to New Zealand, cause why not. Let's try to save the world, one weird mammal bird at a time.

We chat bird things like: Where are Kiwi found? What is the main predator of the kiwi. Is it really a bird, why are the feathers weird? How big are kiwi eggs and what if we had a human baby of that same proportion? Do kiwi use a sense of smell or vision?

Fauna teaches us about jackals. They eat literal actual garbage. We definitely don't talk about Monster's High for like 10 minutes.

We talk about things like: What's the difference between a jackal and a coyote? Where do wolves fit into this? Is the jackal smol and cute. How do jackal feed their young? And what do jackals even eat?

It's jellyfish time. Prepare to have your mind blown. Also hear about the jelly hit that is out on Flora's life.

We answer jelly questions like: How many eyes does a jellyfish have? How many butts does a jellyfish have? How fast can the irukandji swim? Do jellyfish hunt fish? What are the symptoms of a jellyfish sting?

We discuss horses and some things that are definitely not horses. Flora learns she pronounces every word incorrectly.

We answer questions like: How do you pronounce Przewalski's horse? What have zoos done to help animals from going extinct? What are the best horses in media? How many chromosomes does a horse have?

We talk about where we get the facts for the show, our newest "sponsor" and answer a "Would you rather" from a fan.

G is for gharial and giveaway. If you entered...you'll want to stay tuned until the end. We chat about this reptile with a weird face! Hey, he probably thinks our faces are weird too.

We answer stuff like: How many gharial are left in the wild? What is that weird thing on the tip of a gharial's snout? Should I be concerned about being eaten by a gharial? Do they carry their babies in their mouth? How much jewelry is too much jewelry? Is 30 minutes a short or long time to copulate?
