An animal podcast about weird animals, hosted by two zookeepers. Informative, irreverent, and sometimes funny. Not safe for work or babies.

Where I work, there's a display with plastic bags suspended in water to demonstrate how turtles will mistake plastic for jellyfish. It's pretty effective, considering how many people I overhear that are 100% convinced that those are in fact real jellyfish...

My favorite was one was when someone pointed to a mandarin duck in breeding plumage and said that “duck looks like a bird because of all the colors” and the husband yelled “DUCKBIRD” @itsjessicawoot

Aye-ayes, like all lemurs, have wet noses. This makes them different from other primates, like monkeys, who rely less on their sense of smell. 👁👃🏼👁
ALT An extreme close up of an aye-ayes face. His wet nose is centered in the photo and his gold eyes and long teeth are also visible.

@keeper_chat I found this Tawny Frogmouth #feather on my way to work, while listening to the Tawny Frogmouth Episode! A blessing from Podargus!
