On Wildlife

This week, we will be discussing an animal that you have probably seen in pictures of rainforests, at your local zoo, or on the side of a Fruit Loops box. This brightly colored bird is known for its prominent beak. Alex speaks with expert Mathieu Charette from the Toucan Ridge Ecology and Education Society, who’s going to help us learn that there’s much more than meets the eye with this animal. So, join us as we glide to the canopy of the Amazon Rainforest to talk about toucans.

This week, Alex discusses an animal that spends part of its life in the water, and part on land. They’re pretty common to find, although it might be hard to see them because they do a great job of camouflaging themselves. You’ve probably heard their calls at night, but may have not known it was them. So, it’s time to take a closer listen, as we head into your backyard to talk about toads.

In this episode Alex is talking about a group of highly venomous snakes that are known for their signature hoods. With enough venom to kill an adult elephant, a species of this snake is one of the top ten most venomous snakes in the world. The fear that people have for them is also one of the reasons why their populations aren’t doing well. So watch your step while walking through the brush because this week we’re talking about cobras.
