Episode 50: Costa Rica - Things that End with ”i”

The Nature Nerd family got to spend a little time in the cloud forest of Costa Rica.  Two of the animals we saw - the Central American Agouti and the White-nose Coati - are familiar sights...if you live in Costa Rica.  But for us, they were exciting and new.  Learn more about these two animals on this episode!

Episode 48: Fishers and Thieves

In what may have been the first negative Yelp review in history, Ben Franklin said that the Bald Eagle had "bad moral character" and called it a "rank coward".  "1 out of 5 stars: do not recommend".  Ok maybe not that last one but still....This mostly had to do with the interaction between Bald Eagles and Osprey.  Learn more about these two birds of prey in this episode!

Episode 46: Hissy Fits

Snakes get a lot of hate - either because people are afraid of them or because they think they're creepy or icky.  But just 7% of the 600 or so species of snake in the world have "medically significant" venom. Most snakes you are likely to encounter are harmless - especially if you just leave them alone.  So let's learn about some of North America's more common "non-venomous" snakes!

Episode 45: Snot Otters

Snot Otter is my favorite nickname for salamanders.  There are over 700 species worldwide, and if there is a common theme to unite them, it's "variability".  These wacky amphibians range in size from an inch to over 6 feet, they can regrow limbs and some are poisonous if you eat them (Don't eat them.)  Learn more on this episode!
