Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast.

We live in a pretty woodsy area with lots of trees.

It's not unusual to find some interesting animals in our yard.

This one time, we had a groundhog living under our shed.

When we set a trap to catch and remove him,

we caught a cat. When we let the cat go, the next animal we caught was a possum. We never ended up catching the groundhog. We've seen deer in our yard, and we've seen snakes too.

Olivia has a favorite animal that she spotted in our

yard. She even picked the animal up, gave it a little massage, and then let it go. Before she let it go,

she gave it a name. She named it hop-ity-dop. Can you guess what kind of animal hoppity dop is? Because that's the animal

we're going to learn a lot about today. Here we go. Triple mail bag. Triple mail bag.

I have questions from Connor, who is five and lives in Alameda, California.

He is curious about spinach and what makes it taste good.

He is also curious about frogs, and he wonders how frogs jump so high and why they feel

so slimy.

He also wonders what is inside of a frog.

We love the show. Thank you.

Hi, my name is Piper and I'm five years old. My sister, Ila, and I just caught our first tree frog.

We're curious about frogs. What do they eat? Do they live with their family? How do they talk?

We're also curious about unicorns. We love

listening to Curious Kid Podcast. Thank you for all the wonderful information you share.

Piper and Ila from Princeton, Iowa. We love your podcast. It's super cool to learn new things.

We especially love your episodes about animals.
