Hello everyone, welcome back to relax with Animal Facts. I am Steph Wolf and today I am going to be

learning with you about our furry, scaly or possibly even slimy friends. And in today's case, we are going to be covering a furry friend of ours, which is the

oh so wonderful African painted dog.

So this is a very special listener episode dedicated to Blake, who wrote in to the show via Instagram

message. If you want to have your animal on the podcast, you can do one of two things. You can

either email the show directly at relax with animal facts at gmail.com or you can follow the Instagram,

relax with Animal Facts and send me a message and you can say whether you like the show

or whatever you want to send me and you can tell me what do you want to hear on the podcast.

So Blake, thank you so much for writing into the show.

This episode is dedicated to you and dedicated to all of you listeners out there that make this

show just so fun for me. So first and foremost, this episode is coming out just a little bit later

than it was supposed to due to

internet connection issues. I had a huge problem getting a technician out here, but finally,

we got it all fixed up and we can go back on our regular schedule Monday at 2 a.m. EST for all of

our Animal Fact podcast episodes. So thanks for

bearing with me, guys. It was super frustrating for me to spend, you know, this time, especially

in this time with no wired connection anywhere. But regardless, here we are. Let's not focus on the past.

Why don't we just focus on the oh so wonderful African painted dog that we're going to be

learning about today?

So for those of you new listeners out there, I want to let you know that I am not in any way

an animal expert.

I am someone just like you who loves to learn about animals, read about animals.
