Valentine’s Day! Instead of focusing on the love between a man and a woman (being single myself, I don’t really feel like dealing with that shit), we will be looking at the self-love that some animals are able to give themselves that ultimately results in carrying on their genes! Asexual Reproduction!No man needed! There are multiple ways to create life and, good news ladies, you don’t need a man or their sperm (Disclaimer: not available for humans or all species).To inspire your self-pleasin...

Happy Responsible Pet Ownership Month!!That's right; the entire month of February is when you should be a responsible pet owner....no wait. I mean... the entire month of February is when we should all learn how to be better pet owners (because you should ALWAYS be a good pet owner. I'll tell you how to do it today).For the first week of February we look at two domestic animals (cats and goats), then for the last week of February we look at two exotic pet species. And don't worry, as there wil...

Time to go down under! Australia! Thanks to a fan request we are taking this episode's journey to the Australia outback! Death Adder and Hawk Moth.One of Australia's most deadly snake, thanks to their neurotoxic venom. But don't worry as long as you respect this snake, and give it the space it deserves, and not touch it; you'll be fine. Mostly found in coastal regions of Australia this passive hunter isn't chasing you nor its prey down. Looking similar to the United States viper, this n...

Today's episode is a special one! Not only do we learn all the weirdness of the red panda but we have a guest (a real guest, its not just me talking to myself as usual)! Meet Jon Rossi ; the host of the Rossifari podcast, who guest stars as we do a much less scripted talk about animals (well, really one animal). From the forests of Asia (the red panda no Jon Rossi), this critter who is NOT related to the stupid panda, still has some 'panda-like' qualities. 1) SUPER, SUPER CUTE; you migh...

The Holiday season is here! And for the last four weeks we have taken some weird looks into some weird Winter wonderland animals of the world. Today is the last of our four week journey into the chilly world of wildlife as we head to the ocean to learn about the cute adorable harp seal and the weirdly nosed elephant seal.We learn; the differences between true seals, sea lion and walruses, the 3 very useful uses for blubber and just why the heck those giant ass elephant seals have that wacky a...

"It’s the most wonderful time of the year,With the frogs that are freezing, The snow buntings leaving. Oh this is so weird!Its the most wonderful time of the year!"In our second to last winter week, we take a look at two winter themed animals that appear to be.... normal. But this show is not called Weird Animal Facts for no reason. These two seemingly ordinary bird and frog are anything but. For the cold weathered snow bunting, that beautiful white plumage isn't even their winter plumag...

Baby its cold outside! But it could be colder. Just ask the giant emperor penguin and the tiny snow flea (who isn't a flea!...its called a springtail). For our second week into our Weird Winter Wonderland Animal Fact episode we learn just how these two animals are able to withstand to cold. For the springtail the answer could have come from their ancestry and their special insides. And the emperor penguin, well, they've got some real fancy feathers that may not help them fly (in the air that ...

Sometimes our lives depend upon another. Perhaps not as dramatic as the Canada Lynx and snowshoe hare; as the population of one goes up, so does the other, and vise versa. Obviously from Canada, these two species rely on the other for survival. Not only are we taking a somewhat close look at the two animals' relationship, but also their adaptations. FEET! LONG LEGS! BIG EARS! FUR! Shall I say more? Also we'll understand the difference between hares and rabbits and the differences between lynx...

Noses and mouths! Two animals with weird features. A frogmouth: who is not a frog nor an owl. A frogmouth a bird! That looks like a Muppet. And a pig-nosed turtle is a turtle with a pig nose and looks like a sea turtle...but isn't a sea turtle. This turtle requires fresh water! So a fresh water turtle.If you're confused don't worry, as I help to clarify, and if I don't help them there are always images available to view on our Instagram and Facebook. If you'd like to donate and learn more abo...
