With it's massive wingspan, beautiful white feathers, and eerie yellow eyes, the snowy owl is a beauty. It's also the star of one of our favorite books, The Christmas Hat.

In this episode we talk about dissecting the equivalent of cat hairballs, imitate owl sounds, and are joined by a very prestigious panel of stuffed owls.

It's Corduroy's lucky day! Today we are learning all about the massive brown bear. This is a special episode because we actually get to talk to someone (Grandpa!) who has seen a few brown bears in person. We hear about his experiences with them, and then give you some cool facts about them - including how many moths they eat (you won't believe it) and how tiny the cubs are when born (you won't believe that either). We end the podcast with an interview with a volunteer from the Audubon Society about the upcoming backyard bird count.

The pangolin might just be the cutest animal you've never heard of. Some of the many cool things about this animal: its tongue can be as long as a house cat; it can roll itself into a ball so protected even a lion can't get to it; and when the babies come out from their burrows for the first time, they ride on mama's back.

We are breaking our usual format today to talk about a whole bunch of animals that all have something in common: bioluminescence. Bioluminescence, besides being very hard to spell, is also very cool. It's basically when animals glow in the dark. Today we are concentrating just on some of the underwater creatures that have this trait, and why they have it - for defense, mating, luring and more.
