## Resource

Can you think of animals named after other animals? Hear Laura and Rob talk about a time that Rob caused a stampede of over 100 marine mammals, a fish that looks like a muppet, the fan favorite Great White Shark Song, awesome animal clues from 7 year old Archer, plus an interview with naturalist Morgan Wittmer. What animal is making Morgan happy today? Here are some clues. It is a mammal with dark fur, and it smells like popcorn. The Happiest Animal Show (on Planet Earth) is a comedy podcast for kids and families who love wildlife, with original animal songs, stories, jokes and special guests from comedians to scientists to kids. It's hosted by Laura Sams and Robert Sams, who are sister/brother zoologists, filmmakers and songwriters. If you like great white sharks, sea lions, wolf eels, raccoons or bearcats, you just might like this episode.
