| 0:00.0 | Imagine becoming world famous because of a single bad photo. |
| 0:15.0 | That's the story of the blobfish. |
| 0:18.0 | But there's so much more to their story than just the meme. |
| 0:21.9 | They may be one of the most known yet unknown animals in the world. |
| 0:29.1 | Hello everyone. |
| 0:31.1 | Welcome back to relax with animal facts. |
| 0:34.9 | I am Steph Wolfe, and today I am going to be learning with you about our |
| 0:40.4 | furry, scaly, or possibly even slimy friends. And in today's case, it is definitely going |
| 0:48.9 | to be a slimy friend of ours because we are covering the oh so wonderful blobfish. This of course is a very |
| 0:59.9 | special listener episode, so special in fact that I'm not entirely sure what to do. This creature is possibly |
| 1:10.1 | the most requested animal in our history. |

| 1:47.2 | And so I'll set a new precedent here. |
| 1:55.3 | I will read five names at random and then put the entire episode dedication in the description. |
| 2:09.8 | So this very special listener episode is dedicated to Jack, Julia, Emily, Zelly, Ella, and all of you other special listeners that requested this animal. |
| 2:20.6 | If you would like to request an animal for a future episode, you can send me an email to relax with animal facts at gmail.com. |
| 2:27.4 | We are getting pretty close on the website being up, but for now, you can still send your animal requests there. If you would like intro-free and extended episodes with even more facts, along with two bonus episodes |
| 2:38.3 | a month, you can sign up to the Patreon. |
| 2:41.8 | We have a free trial so you can try it out, and the link is in the description. |
| 2:47.7 | All of your support means the world. |
| 2:50.2 | A huge shout out to the audio work of George Vlad. It is his work |
