All Creatures Kids Episode 1: Polar Bears & Leopards
In response to the events we all are enduring, we wanted to take this opportunity to speak to children about some of their favorite animals. We ask them to research a species for an interview and we get to listen and learn from the next generation. We encourage all the parents out there to share these episodes and ask your kids to research an animal and interview them about it. What did they learn? How are the animals doing in the wild? This is a great way to keep them engaged and learning. Thank you for listening and our website can be accessed HERE Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 150: Charming Chinchillas
We decided to roll out an episode on one of the cutest animals on the planet, but one that is often forgotten. The Chinchilla brings a smile to anyone's face, but has a conservation story many are not aware of. In the early 1900s, the Chinchilla almost went extinct, prized for its fur. We talk about how the two species of Chinchilla are still hanging on in South America. We also talk about how Chinchillas have become a beloved pet for many.
