Summary

It's our one-year anniversary! We are celebrating with an episode about... porcupines! Okay, it has nothing to do with our anniversary, but still... porcupines!

For this episode, we had a chance to go to the Oregon Zoo and meet with Bree Winchell, program animal staff and overall porcupine expert. Check out our pics of the animal encounter on our Twitter page (www.twitter.com/coolanimalspod)

If you'd like to hear more interviews with experts, please consider supporting us on our Patreon page (www.patreon.com/coolfactsaboutanimals). We will use funds from the page to help us travel to meet with other animal experts so that we can bring you more cool facts. We have lots of cool perks for your financial support, including magnets, notes, and shout-outs from your favorite CFAA host (human or otherwise).

We are also still doing our Kid Challenge. Send a picture of your kids with a bag of trash that he or she picked up from outside, and we will send a magnet and do a shout-out on the air for their help cleaning up the environment.

Thanks as always to Andrew of the podcast Earsnacks for our theme music!
