Big Ocean Animals (with National Geographic Explorer Tierney Thys)

The Happiest Animal Show

About

What big ocean animals are making you happy today? What giant fish is covered in smelly mucus and can suck its eyeballs into its head? What whale gave Laura chills? In honor of World Oceans Day, Laura and Rob chat about a special whale and a giant fish, plus you’ll hear a song about the ocean fish (also known as Mola mola), a game show about ocean animal sounds, awesome animal clues from fan Leilani and an interview with special guest Tierney Thys, a National Geographic Explorer and a research fellow with the California Academy of Sciences.

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. If you like killer whales, giant manta rays, humpback whales, ocean sunfish or golden plovers, you might really like this episode!
