About this listen

Extraordinary Elephants: There's so much more to elephants than their enormous size! Have you heard about their excellent memory or their adorable sense of humor? Did you know that they actually walk on their tiptoes? And wait till you see who their cousins are – you're in for a surprise!

Jiggliest Jellyfish: Did you know that jellyfish can thrive in waters that would suffocate other sea creatures? Or that some jellyfish can flash different colors from purple to green? Or that they have the world's most powerful venom?

Sensational Sharks: Have you ever heard about the cookie-cutter shark, which bites out cookie-shaped morsels of flesh from much larger animals than itself? Or the goblin shark, which was thought to have become extinct 100 million years ago until a living specimen was discovered in 1898? And did you know that the whale shark has jaws the size of a 12-year-old child?

Spectacular Snakes: Did you know a snake can still grow even when it hasn't eaten for months? Or that snakes have flexible jaws that allow them to eat prey that's much larger than them? Or that snakes are masters of disguise?
