What’s up, Earth Rangers! I’ve been around the world, under the sea, on top of icebergs at both poles – but I’ve never been to Hollywood! This is new for me!
Join me as I try to bust some sneaky animal myths on everyone’s favorite quiz show: Fact or Fiction!
Black cats are bad luck, true or false? False! That’s just a mean myth. At least, in some places, people think black cats are really lucky! Maybe they are… Black cats are special because the gene that makes their fur black also helps them stay healthy and not get sick as often as other cats.
What about polar bears having black skin, even when they’re white? Is that fact or fiction? Do you know the answer? Well then you might do great on today’s gameshow: Fact or Fiction!
Today’s episode we join Emma and Fact or Fiction’s gameshow host Jeffrey McJeffrey on a special myth-busting show! Rather than one specific question, we’ll ask a whole bunch of them, like “Do snakes have legs?” or “Do wolves really howl at the moon”.
The catch? You need to figure out which is fact or fiction! Will Earth Ranger Emma’s skills be up for the test? What score will she get in this gameshow and… will she break any new records?! Why not fling ourselves in like snakes to find out?!
Whew! Fact or Fiction tries its best to throw trick questions, but an animal expert should see through it all, right? After all, animals appear in many stories and tall tales, but knowing the research can show us the real answers!
As an Earth Ranger, Emma has an edge over the competition. She’s a pro about animals! Plus, many of these questions have shown up in the Earth Ranger’s app, in our Creative Corner. You can test your skills in our quiz while listening to Emma’s answers:
Are there any answers that surprised you? Stumped you and you had to wait for the answer? Or are you like Emma, a super-ranger who can bust myths easy-peasy? Let’s see how well the Earth Rangers community could do in this gameshow if they’d been in Emma’s place!
Or… maybe we could do better? Do you know any animal myths that weren’t included in the gameshow or our creative corner? Share them to see if anyone could find the answer, or if you want to give a bit of trivia you can always show off your skills by revealing some fun facts about a cute, scary, weird, or rare animal. Don’t forget Emma is still out to investigate mysteries about the world, your question could be next!
Do you have a fun animal mystery you want us to explore?
Let us know in the comments in the Earth Rangers App!
Snakes can fling themselves in the air! That’s a phrase you don’t hear everyday! I learned a lot listening to this podcast!
Foxes but them too
I love fact or fiction! I crushed the fact or fiction quiz.
This factor fiction was really funny I suggest that they make more so kids could be more educated and happy so they can help the world a lot
It’s my favorite
This is the best podcast I’ve ever heard
Wowza
I got the first quen wrong and the podcast is really fun
That is totally a lie cats are allowed to be outside it won’t hurt them and besides they are still wild they come from a wild family that’s their instincts to go outside they need to roam they need to still feel a little bit free not stuck up inside especially when you’re gone let him outside for a little while at least in a pen
And if your cats keep killing birds it’s not their instinct yes they can be predators to some animals but the other animals should be smart enough not to go exactly to it and if your cat keeps killing the birds killing whatever get it a large pen that has a top over it so it won’t kill anybody or kill anything it needs to be outside and still in nature
