Explore every episode of the podcast Animal Quiz for Kids | Learn Fun Animal Facts with Zoom and Dr. Marlow

Zoom the Quiz Master and Dr. Marlow serve up ten clues about one ocean creature, starting with a real head-scratcher: no brain and no blood. Kids will hear about a baby that looks nothing like its parents, a very odd way of eating, hundreds of tiny suction-cup feet, and some surprising ways it gets by. The clues get easier as they go, so there's plenty of time for a 5-year-old to shout out a guess, and a few of Zoom's guesses along the way are good for a laugh. Afterward there's a round of bonus facts, a quick lesson on why the animal's common name is a bit misleading, and a sneak peek at the next episode's mystery.

The clues start genuinely tricky and build to the reveal, so there's real suspense even if your five-year-old suspects the answer early. A teaser at the end sets up the next mystery with two wild facts that will probably spark a lot of dinner table conversation.

This episode of Animal Quiz is built around a ten-clue guessing game where eight-year-old host Zoom and scientist Dr. Marlow slowly reveal a mystery night-hunting bird. The clues are genuinely clever — kids learn why this animal's lopsided ears let it hunt mice under snow in total darkness, how its feather edges muffle the sound of flight, and why it coughs up small bundles of fur and bones that scientists actually use to study ecosystems. The conversation between Zoom and Dr. Marlow has a nice back-and-forth energy, with Zoom's reactions (especially to the "fur burrito" clue) keeping things funny without being silly.

This episode of Animal Quiz gives kids ten clues about a record-breaking African predator — starting with a genuinely strange one about a big cat that makes sounds you'd never expect. Host Dr. Marlow and kid co-host Zoom work through clues covering everything from how this animal's body handles extreme speed, to the science behind those distinctive facial markings, to what its claws have in common with soccer cleats. Dr. Marlow also shares a firsthand memory of watching a mother and her cubs in Kenya, and there's a surprising piece of history at the end about royalty keeping these animals as companions. A good one for kids who are into animals, speed, or just being thoroughly stumped by clue number one.

In this episode of Animal Quiz, ten-year-old host Zoom and Dr. Marlow work through ten clues about a creature that's been sharing Earth with other animals since the age of the dinosaurs. Clues start genuinely tricky — smelling with a tongue, jawbones that spread wide enough to swallow oversized prey — and build toward more familiar territory, with a few surprises along the way (flying ones? heat vision?). Dr. Marlow brings in real field detail, like watching a certain species glide ten meters through the air in Borneo, and explains the science behind why these animals never blink. A great episode for kids who think they already know everything about this animal — they probably don't.
