Hello! And welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast. When people think of rodents, the word that comes to mind probably isn't cute. After all, rodents are usually considered to be kind of gross and a bit of a nuisance. There are exceptions, by the way. I'll

give you an example. Olivia's cousins had a pet rodent at home that was super cute. He was a

tunchella and his name was Buzz. He was so stinking cute. He was small, he was gray, and he was

absolutely adorable. I loved feeding him and holding him and watching him zoom around his room.

This week, we aren't getting curious about chinchillas, but we are getting curious about another

rodent.

The rodent we're learning about is much, much bigger than the chinchilla.

But if you saw one of these, you are definitely more likely to say,

aw, than, ew.

Let's find out more.

Dear Curious Kid Podcast, my name is Gianna. I am nine years old and I love your podcast. I am from Sydney, Australia. I love listening to your podcast on the way to school. Can you please get curious about astronomy, astrology, or copybaras? Kind regards Gianna.

Hi, we love your show. We listen to it every night before bed. We are really curious to

learn about some of these topics. Fabric, koalas, copi baras, diamonds, glue, and watches.

We are from Australia and are currently touring in your country.

We just went to Disneyland and are now heading towards Zion National Park.

It is interesting driving on the other side of the road over here.

My dad accidentally drove the wrong way up the street when we first picked up the higher car.

Luckily, there were no cars coming.

Oops! Thanks, Eddie.

That was awesome.
