Hey there. This is Ellen Weatherford.

And Christian Weatherford.

And this is just the zoo of us, your favorite animal review podcast, where we take your favorite species of animals.

We review them and we rate them out of 10 in the categories of effectiveness, ingenuity, and aesthetics.

You know, we say favorite animals, but I don't think anyone would call the botfly their favorite.

That was also not requested by anybody.

That was just you being vindictive.

Anyway, we take your requests for species of animals and we review them comprehensively and rate them out of 10 in different categories.

We are not zoological experts, but we do a lot of research to get ready for the show and we make sure that we're getting our information from trustworthy and reliable sources.

So if you are a zoological expert, feel free to link up with us and let us know your thoughts and give us feedback and such.

We're very thrilled to hear from people all the time.

Yeah, reach out to us, you reliable source, you.

Yeah, thanks.

We really appreciate it.

That sounded sarcastic, but it wasn't meant to be, I promise.

That's all I've got for the intro. and I think that last week I went first.

So, Christian, it's your turn.

Okay, this week I've got an animal that I think has a fun name called the Matamata turtle.

Couple different, not really spellings, but I guess arrangement of that name.

You'll see matamata as one word.

You'll see them separated by a hyphen and sometimes by a space.

Oh, sure.
