Welcome to the first episode of Cool Creatures, a nature podcast hosted by Wesley Mason. Wesley is an animal-loving kindergartener who is fascinated by nature and animal facts.

On this episode, you'll learn about some of Wesley's favorite animals from the Amazon rainforest and the deep sea, including jaguars, anacondas, sperm whales, colossal squid, and more. Wesley also talks about bees and why they are so important to the ecosystem. Plus, he takes a question from a listener (his brother Jonah).

A few clarifications of some facts mentioned in the episode:

  • Coral eat zooplankton and small fish
  • Vultures and polar bears live in the Arctic, not Antarctica
  • Dragon fish live 6,600 feet deep in the ocean
  • Sperm whales have been found up to 10,000 feet deep in the ocean
  • Colossal squid are not classified as endangered, and grow to be 45 feet
