Last episode until July!

We take a sexy look at two very sexy looking animals: the frilled neck lizard of Australia and the secretary bird of Africa. Both with long sexy legs and bodies these two animals are the envy of all supermodels.

We look at the umbrella of a beard of this adorable lizard and some of the wacky feather patterns of the secretary bird who was named after a man of the 1800s? Fashion back then was weird.

Be sure to check out our Instagram and let us know what animals you want to learn about when we return after the break.

Yes I might have been editing this Monday night before its release date, but just like that snot in your nose and the allergies that caused it; its here!

It's Springtime! And with it, in addition to your constant sneezing comes two very spring time animals, ever if you don't think so. Me, having been a zookeeper for ten years can safely inform you that both the beaver and orb weaver spiders of the world are in fact very, very spring time animals.

Although we don't spend too much time talking about spring we do talk about stinky beaver butts and make some very obvious jokes. As for the orb weavers, they are without a doubt one of the most amazing and frightening spiders you'll find in you garden (but please don't kill them).

Scientific Names
American Beaver: Castor canadensis
Eurasian Beaver: Castor fiber
Garden spider UK: Araneus diadematus
Yellow garden spider US: Argiope aurantia

This week we take to the ocean so to live out everyone's childhood dream of becoming a marine biologist. But since to ocean is so big and there are too many animals and planet to learn about in 30 minutes we'll just focus on two fish: once from your nightmares and one from the movies.

Stargazers are in fact a fish. The sneaky ninja ambush predators of the sea. With their large creepy eyes, wide gaping mouths and the ability to poison and/or you. Don't mess with this guy.

Pufferfish, most of us have heard of. They are a fish that can get 3x their size. But why? And more importantly how? Learn about bones, and lack there off, learn about spines, poison and why maybe you should think twice before putting some tasty fugu into your mouth.

Scientific names
Atlantic Stargazer: Uranoscopus scaber
Giant Stargazer: Kathetostoma giganteum
Porcupine Pufferfish: Didodon holocanthus

I hope you all see the irony that for episode 69 we are talking about two of the weirdest and most promiscuous animals in the animal world: Bonobos and Ducks!

With Spring Break upon us, why would anyone want to work, unless of course its for sex. That's right; we're talking about animal sex. So keep your kids at home as we adults dive on in to the group sex world of bonobos and the beautiful and at time terrifying love life of ducks

As great apes, bonobos are probably the best at sex. If you will think of this troop of primates as a chill hippie commune. In order to solve problem and keep aggression from escalating their answer is sex.

As for ducks there are many ways males try to attract the females so to win their favor. It comes down to three thing: a dance, a song and fancy feathers.  With every duck species with a different head and/or tail dance so to show off their beautiful plumage, as well as some calls; the female decides which one is the most beautiful. But what about the ones who don't get picked? Well let's just say they turn to the dark side and it has to do with their long and twirly penis. Those poor female ducks...well not really as their vaginal tract is just as weird, long and twirly. ALSO bird calls!!

Scientific names
Bonobo: Pan paniscus
Mallard Duck: Anas platyrhynchos
Common Goldeneye: Bucephala clangula
Black-bellied whistling duck: Dendrocygna autumnalis

Just because you're different and/or weird doesn't mean you should be shunned away. Being different shouldn't be frowned upon; its not a curse or a burden. If anything, being different is what makes you, and the animals we're talking about today, amazing! Yes, they are weird but that's all this show is about!

Vietnamese Mossy Frog: its a frog that looks like moss and is from Vietnam...duh. As weird as it is for a frog to look like moss what's weirder is their sex life. And Yes, they have a very interesting sex life. And more adventurous then most other animals.

Okapi: you probably have never heard of this animal, but if you know what a giraffe is and a zebra... well you probably still don't really know but at least now you're on the right track. Only instead of the African Sahara its the African forest.

Be sure to learn even more about okapis by visiting The Okapi Conservation Project and please consider donating so to help protect the engaged okapi.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! And in honor of this day of drinking, we will learn about the animal that the dick Saint Patrick chased out of Ireland: SNAKES!

Snakes are truly amazing and yes, I have talked about a few snake species as well as their tongue but there's plenty of snake facts for everyone. In this episode we learn about why the world is such a dick to snakes. And -spoiler alert- it has to do with certain cultures (looking at you Christianity and Norse mythology). But don't worry there are plenty of other cultures who get it. They get why snakes are important and they too, like me, LOVE snakes!

Also, for you horney devils out there who want to learn all about the sex and love life of snakes...well then, this is the episode for you. And let me just warn you...its very, very, very weird. So don't be too creeped out or astonished when you learn the truth.

Scientific Names
King Cobra: Ophiophagus hannah
Eastern Garter Snake: Thammophis sirtalis
Eastern Diamond-backed rattle snake: Crotalus adamanteus

The two most dangerous birds on the planet are probably taller then you: Ostrich and cassowary.

Both member of the ratite clan. What's a ratite? Flightless birds (excluding the penguin of course). There are actually five ratite species: ostrich, cassowary, rhea, kiwi, and emu! But what makes them flightless? Why are they flightless? What's the point?

Ostriches, the African giant flightless bird, could kill you easiest (especially compared to the kiwi) as they are the largest bird who have also been known to kill lions with a simple swing of their mighty backwards legs. Ostriches have a lot of danger about them.

Cassowaries, although not as large as an ostrich, have killed a human. But they aren't as tall! They do have terrifying red eyes and a deep call that feels like they are ripping out your soul. But they live in the fun world of Northern Australia, New Guinea and surrounding islands! So I think its safe to say they can be chill...if you respect them.  So don't be a dick to animals.

Scientific names
Ostrich: Struthio camelus
Southern Cassowary: Casuarius casuarius
Northern Cassowary: Casuarius unappendiculatus
Dwarf Cassowary: Casuarius bennetti
