Speaker 1 (00:13):
Part one.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Why it's the way it is.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Today. Why it's the way it is We're gonna get
into why is a teddy bear a teddy bear? Now,
I know people call them all kinds of things, they
call them stuffies, fuzzies, I don't know, but teddy bears
is kind of the original name for when you had
like a little friend, right that would you take the
(00:40):
bed with you and carry around with you. And at
a time, a long time ago, most of those little
stuffies took.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
The shape of a bear.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And I'm gonna talk about why that came to be
and how that name teddy bear came into existence. And
to understand this you have to go all the way
back to nineteen oh two, one hundred and twenty years ago.
The President of the United States in nineteen oh two
(01:09):
was named Theodore Roosevelt. People would call him Teddy Roosevelt,
though he didn't like that nickname.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
He might be the most.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Important president in terms of wildlife and wild places in America.
In South Dakota, there's a thing Mount Rushmore where there's
these huge carvings in the mountain of different presidents' faces
for very important presidents. He's one of those presidents alongside
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson. Now he was
(01:48):
just like he was a great conservationist and did a
lot for wildlife in America and to preserve wild places
in America.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
He was a very.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Avid hunter, which seems funny now. It seems funny now
to imagine a US president who spends a lot of
time out hunting.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Bears, right, But that was the thing then.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And in nineteen oh two, Theodore Roosevelt was invited down
by the governor of Mississippi to go on a bear hunt. Now,
when the president comes down to Mississippi to bear hunt,
they want to make sure he's paired up with the
best guide, the best hunter they can find. And that
hunter is a man named Hult Collier. Now Hult Collier
(02:31):
has a very interesting history that might be surprising to you.
Hult Collier was an African American man and he was
born a slave on a plantation in Mississippi around eighteen fifty.
And at that time it was legal in the Southern States,
it was legal for white people.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
To own black slaves. They would make a slave.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Work for them, but they didn't have.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
To pay the slave. You could tell the slave.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
When to eat, what to eat, who to marry, where
to sleep. You owned a person like property, and that's
how he was born. And he, as a slave, killed
his first bear when he was just ten years old,
and he became such a talented, exceptional hunter that his
(03:23):
job as a slave was to hunt for game meet
that could be fed to other slaves. Now, later all
of the slaves were freed. Earlier I mentioned Mount Rushmore
and a president whose face is on Mount Rushmore, Abraham Lincoln.
(03:43):
Abraham Lincoln was the president who freed the slaves. After
Holt Collier became a free man, he remained a very
well recognized famous hunter. So here you have this man
who had been born a slave, who is now such
a well respected hunter that when President Theodore Roosevelt comes
(04:08):
to hunt, Hult becomes his guide. Theodore Roosevelt would later
say that Hult Collier was the greatest hunter and guide
I have ever known. But on this bear hunt, Roosevelt
wasn't doing well. Other hunters were getting bears, but he
(04:30):
wasn't getting a bear, and Hult Collier became worried that
Roosevelt was going to be upset that he didn't get
a bear. One day, Hult Collier was out with his
dogs and they were tracking a bear, and he had
told the President where to wait, because he suspected that
(04:52):
as they track this bear at the dogs, the bear
was going to come through a specific area, and he
told the president wait here, the president and it waited
and waited, and the bear never showed up, so the
President left and then guess what, Sure enough, a bear
runs right through where the President was supposed to be waiting,
(05:13):
but he wasn't there. But Holt Collier kept chasing this
bear with his dogs, and eventually his hunting dogs caught
up to the bear and they did what was called
bade it. They cornered the bear so the bear couldn't
get away, and Wholt Collier rode up on his horse
with a lariat or a lasso, a rope and lassold
(05:37):
the bear and tied the bear to a willow tree,
and then sent for the President and said, tell the President,
I have his bear ready for him. Well, Roosevelt comes
and he finds this bear the whole Collier has caught
and tied to a tree, and the President says it
(06:00):
it would be unsportsmanlike to shoot a bear that has
been captured and tied to a tree. He refuses to
shoot the bear. Now, on this hunt, this might surprise you,
But on this hunt there were a lot of reporters, journalists,
and they wrote about this. They wrote articles about the
(06:22):
president not wanting to shoot a bear that was tied
to a tree. And here's an interesting detail. It was
a big bear. It was a two hundred and fifty
pound bear, the whole collier tied to the tree. But
when people made cartoons of what happened, they made cartoons
(06:43):
where it was a little baby bear, and this story
really caught on. It became a story that everybody at
that time knew about that Teddy Roosevelt wouldn't shoot this
little bear that we know was actually a big bear,
wouldn't shoot this little bear tied to a tree. Now,
(07:05):
there was an inventor and a toy shop owner in
New York named Maurice Mitchtum and Morris Mitchtamb wrote to
President Roosevelt asking if he could name one of his
stuffed toy bears a Teddy Bear, and Roosevelt gave him
permission to do so. That man began mass producing the
(07:29):
bears and founded a company called the Ideal Toy Company,
and they produced so many Teddy Bears that the name
just took hold to the point where anyone who made
a little stuffed bear would call it a Teddy bear.
So today, if you see a little stuffy shaped like
(07:52):
a bear and someone refers to it as a Teddy bear,
what they're talking about is Teddy Roosevelt in his Great
Mississippi Bear Hunt with Holt Collier in nineteen oh two.
And as a little extra note at the end of
the story, Hoult Collier became the only African American to
(08:16):
have a national wildlife refuge named after him. The Holt
Collier National Wildlife Refuge in Mississippi is there today, and
you can go there and explore and go duck hunting,
and remember that famous day of Holt Teddy and the
(08:36):
bear tied to a tree.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Part two, Guess that Critter.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
It's time for Guess that Critter, where we play animal
sounds and you've got to guess what animal is making
those sounds. And don't worry, we'll throw in some clues
along the way. This noise from a member of the
deer family is usually heard in late September or early October,
during the mating season. Males of this species can weigh
(09:16):
up to sixteen hundred pounds and reach up to six
and a half feet tall at the shoulder. They have
the largest antlers of any animal in the world. Here's
what the male sounds like. Now back to the female's noise.
(09:42):
Females can weigh up to one thousand pounds or half
a ton. These animals are strong swimmers and have a
great sense of smell and hearing. They can detect calls
like these from almost five miles away. Okay, it's time
(10:03):
for the reveal. It's a moose. These woodland giants are
found in all northern US states bordering Canada, which includes
our biggest state, Alaska, as well as in Colorado, Utah,
and Massachusetts. If you're out and see a moose, keep
your distance and back away, since they can be mighty
aggressive when scared or harassed. The blackfeet word for moose
(10:26):
translates to black going out of sight, referring to the
moose's color and probably related to how these huge animals
can still manage to disappear into dark forests when scared.
Make sure to join us next week four Guess that Critter?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Part three Trivia.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
And now it's time for Meat Eater Kids Trivia, the
other only game show where conservation always wins. This is
a quiz show for kids who love the outdoors.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Take it away, Spencer. Today, I'm joined by Jimmy, Rosie, Matthew, Aina, Mabel, Hayden, Conley, Reid,
and Bay. Each player will earn ten dollars for conservation
with every question they get right today. There's a potential
for this room to earn up to two hundred and
seventy dollars this week. That donation is going to the
(11:20):
National Wildlife Federation, who publishes the kids magazine Ranger Rick.
Let's see how much money our players can raise. Question one,
Which of these fish is not native to North America?
Is it carp, bluegill or walleie? Two of those fish
are native, one of them is not native. Your three
(11:44):
choices are carp, bluegill or walleye. Jimmy, do you know
this answer?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I think so?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Okay? How about over here, Hayden, you got this one right?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I'm pretty sure I got it.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Which of these fish is not to North America? Carp, bluegill, walleye?
Does everybody have an answer? I see some cheating happening
over here. Are you changing your answer now? Yes, you are.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I don't think I'm right.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
How do you know your answer wasn't right?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I just think I'm wrong because I have no idea
what this is? Okay, what are the answers again?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Carp, Bluegill or Walleye.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
If I get this wrong, I've officially failed my father.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You think so? Yes, okay, we just won't let him
hear it. Are we ready go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Aina saying carp. We have Rosie saying carp,
bas saying carp, Mabel saying carp, Jimmy saying Bluegill Read
saying Bluegill, Matthew saying Walleye, Conley saying carp, Hayden saying carp.
(12:48):
The correct answer is carp. We did pretty well. The
girls did especially well. I think we went four for
four over here. Well done. Bluegill and Walleye have a
similar native range, which encompasses about forty states east of
the Rocky Mountains. Carp come from Europe and Asia. Common
carp have been here for about one hundred and fifty years.
(13:10):
The people who brought them here did it because they
loved eating carp Who in this room has caught a carp? Jimmy,
just Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Matthew, maybe pretty sure, I have Rosie. What'd you do
with that carp? Did you take it home and eat it?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
No, we didn't.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
We let it go.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
So you don't think they taste as good? Maybe as
they did one hundred and fifty years ago.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
No, they're not good.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Okay, they probably tastes the same. I think maybe we
got better options now. Question two. If an anelope is
running thirty miles per hour, then how far can it
get in twenty minutes? Is it five miles, ten miles,
or fifteen miles. You're gonna have to do some math here.
If an anelope is running thirty miles per hour, then
(13:56):
how far can it get in twenty minutes? This is
some real schoolwork we're doing here. It's probably maybe the
least fun trivia question you'll get, but there's an antelope
in it, so that makes it a little more fun.
If an antelope is running thirty miles per hour, then
how far can it get in twenty minutes? Five miles,
(14:16):
ten miles, fifteen miles? See some of our players are
doing math? I know, how are you at math?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I love math?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You're doing my favorite subject.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Are you going to get this one right? I hope?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
So I'm kind of freaking out right Okay, I'm kind
of freaking out right now.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Because my brain is not working. Five miles, ten miles,
fifteen miles. How far can that antelope get running thirty
miles per hour in twenty minutes? Hayden, you think you
got this one right? Pretty much?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Guessing?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Pretty much guessing. That's no way to do math. Bay,
Are you any more confident?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, everyone seems like they're guessing, except for maybe I
know said math strong.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, I got it to I've tried to do a
standard out, but I ended up with the answer.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
That wasn't okay. That's a lot of words to say
you're guessing. Is everybody ready reveal your answers? We have
Anel saying five miles, Rosie saying ten miles, Bay saying
ten miles, Mabel saying ten miles, Jimmy saying ten miles,
Read saying ten miles, Matthew saying ten miles, Conley saying
(15:27):
ten miles, Hayden saying fifteen. The correct answer is ten miles.
Our players did pretty well. Anelope can run sixty miles
per hour in short bursts and couldn't run thirty miles
per hour for long distances. They could run a twenty
six mile marathon in just fifty two minutes. Jannis said
(15:49):
he could run a marathon in three and a half hours.
That means the anlope could complete the marathon watch seven
episodes of SpongeBob and still have five minutes to spare
before Yannis would reach the fin Now, for those who
got it right, how'd you come up with the right answer?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I just guess.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Okay, that's one way to get it right. Math. Math.
So you figured out how that antelope made it ten miles?
Is there a lot of guessing there? Did some of
you actually know it?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
The one in the middle, I just thought that it
couldn't run fifteen miles?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Okay, that's reasonable. Question three? Which state is known as
the Grand Canyon State? Is it Arizona, Nevada? Or Texas?
Which state is known as the Grand Canyon State? Your
three choices are Arizona, Nevada and Texas. Mabel, are you
(16:45):
cheating again?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
No?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Okay, you know your dad does the same thing. When
we're playing trivia, he likes to watch the other players
come up with their answer, and then he bases his
answer off of their reaction.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Wow, you're honest.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It might I'm just looking around to see if people
are like, right away, I know it or.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Just own it's the same thing your dad does. Which
state is known as the Grand Canyon State, Arizona, Nevada,
or Texas? Does everybody have an answer?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yes, yeap, yes, you can't change it now math and
now I'm going back.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Are we ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers? We
have saying Arizona, Rosie saying Arizona. Bay saying Arizona, Mabel
saying Nevada, Jimmy saying Nevada. Read saying Nevada, Matthew saying Texas,
Conley saying Arizona. Hayden saying Arizona. The correct answer is Arizona.
(17:42):
The room did pretty well. Some of its other nicknames
are the Copper State and Apache State. The Grand Canyon
is over a mile deep and ten miles wide in
some places. By some measurements, it's the third deepest canyon
in the world, behind canyons in Peru and Paul Have
any of you ever been to the Grand Canyon. Nope?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Okay, So I'm learning about the Grand Canyon School right now.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
And did you get that one right?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
No, they didn't tell you what state it's in, or
did they tell you it's Texas? Maybe your teacher was wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, watched a video on it, and I've just forgot
so quickly.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Okay, Arizona kind of looks like Texas. Now that's it
for today's round of trivia. Fill the engineer. How much
money did we raise?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
They raised one hundred and ninety dollars.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
One hundred and ninety dollars out of a potential to seventy.
That's one hundred ninety dollars going to the National Wildlife Federation.
Well done, kids. Join us next time for more meat
Eater Kids Trivia, the only other game show where conservation
always wins. Thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
We really hope you enjoyed the episode. Now get outside.
Be sure to tune in next week for another episode
of
Part one.

Today. Why it's the way it is We're gonna get

Speaker 3 (12:24):
You think so? Yes, okay, we just won't let him
hear it. Are we ready go ahead and reveal your answers.
We have Aina saying carp. We have Rosie saying carp,
bas saying carp, Mabel saying carp, Jimmy saying Bluegill Read
saying Bluegill, Matthew saying Walleye, Conley saying carp, Hayden saying carp.
(12:48):
The correct answer is carp. We did pretty well. The
girls did especially well. I think we went four for
four over here. Well done. Bluegill and Walleye have a
similar native range, which encompasses about forty states east of
the Rocky Mountains. Carp come from Europe and Asia. Common
carp have been here for about one hundred and fifty years.
(13:10):
The people who brought them here did it because they
loved eating carp Who in this room has caught a carp? Jimmy,
just Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Matthew, maybe pretty sure, I have Rosie. What'd you do
with that carp? Did you take it home and eat it?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
No, we didn't.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
We let it go.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
So you don't think they taste as good? Maybe as
they did one hundred and fifty years ago.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
No, they're not good.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Okay, they probably tastes the same. I think maybe we
got better options now. Question two. If an anelope is
running thirty miles per hour, then how far can it
get in twenty minutes? Is it five miles, ten miles,
or fifteen miles. You're gonna have to do some math here.
If an anelope is running thirty miles per hour, then
(13:56):
how far can it get in twenty minutes? This is
some real schoolwork we're doing here. It's probably maybe the
least fun trivia question you'll get, but there's an antelope
in it, so that makes it a little more fun.
If an antelope is running thirty miles per hour, then
how far can it get in twenty minutes? Five miles,
(14:16):
ten miles, fifteen miles? See some of our players are
doing math? I know, how are you at math?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I love math?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You're doing my favorite subject.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Are you going to get this one right? I hope?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
So I'm kind of freaking out right Okay, I'm kind
of freaking out right now.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Because my brain is not working. Five miles, ten miles,
fifteen miles. How far can that antelope get running thirty
miles per hour in twenty minutes? Hayden, you think you
got this one right? Pretty much?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Guessing?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Pretty much guessing. That's no way to do math. Bay,
Are you any more confident?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, everyone seems like they're guessing, except for maybe I
know said math strong.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, I got it to I've tried to do a
standard out, but I ended up with the answer.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
That wasn't okay. That's a lot of words to say
you're guessing. Is everybody ready reveal your answers? We have
Anel saying five miles, Rosie saying ten miles, Bay saying
ten miles, Mabel saying ten miles, Jimmy saying ten miles,
Read saying ten miles, Matthew saying ten miles, Conley saying
(15:27):
ten miles, Hayden saying fifteen. The correct answer is ten miles.
Our players did pretty well. Anelope can run sixty miles
per hour in short bursts and couldn't run thirty miles
per hour for long distances. They could run a twenty
six mile marathon in just fifty two minutes. Jannis said
(15:49):
he could run a marathon in three and a half hours.
That means the anlope could complete the marathon watch seven
episodes of SpongeBob and still have five minutes to spare
before Yannis would reach the fin Now, for those who
got it right, how'd you come up with the right answer?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I just guess.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Okay, that's one way to get it right. Math. Math.
So you figured out how that antelope made it ten miles?
Is there a lot of guessing there? Did some of
you actually know it?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
The one in the middle, I just thought that it
couldn't run fifteen miles?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Okay, that's reasonable. Question three? Which state is known as
the Grand Canyon State? Is it Arizona, Nevada? Or Texas?
Which state is known as the Grand Canyon State? Your
three choices are Arizona, Nevada and Texas. Mabel, are you
(16:45):
cheating again?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
No?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Okay, you know your dad does the same thing. When
we're playing trivia, he likes to watch the other players
come up with their answer, and then he bases his
answer off of their reaction.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Wow, you're honest.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It might I'm just looking around to see if people
are like, right away, I know it or.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Just own it's the same thing your dad does. Which
state is known as the Grand Canyon State, Arizona, Nevada,
or Texas? Does everybody have an answer?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yes, yeap, yes, you can't change it now math and
now I'm going back.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Are we ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers? We
have saying Arizona, Rosie saying Arizona. Bay saying Arizona, Mabel
saying Nevada, Jimmy saying Nevada. Read saying Nevada, Matthew saying Texas,
Conley saying Arizona. Hayden saying Arizona. The correct answer is Arizona.
(17:42):
The room did pretty well. Some of its other nicknames
are the Copper State and Apache State. The Grand Canyon
is over a mile deep and ten miles wide in
some places. By some measurements, it's the third deepest canyon
in the world, behind canyons in Peru and Paul Have
any of you ever been to the Grand Canyon. Nope?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Okay, So I'm learning about the Grand Canyon School right now.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
And did you get that one right?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
No, they didn't tell you what state it's in, or
did they tell you it's Texas? Maybe your teacher was wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, watched a video on it, and I've just forgot
so quickly.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Okay, Arizona kind of looks like Texas. Now that's it
for today's round of trivia. Fill the engineer. How much
money did we raise?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
They raised one hundred and ninety dollars.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
One hundred and ninety dollars out of a potential to seventy.
That's one hundred ninety dollars going to the National Wildlife Federation.
Well done, kids. Join us next time for more meat
Eater Kids Trivia, the only other game show where conservation
always wins. Thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
We really hope you enjoyed the episode. Now get outside.
