  • Educational and Fun

    Our family is very excited for Mike Bennett’s new Zooquarium Podcast.

    Mike is a “certified public joy creator” who, for years, has brought happiness to Portland, OR residents through his imaginative art installations, creative mini golf course, and “best in Portland” Wonderwood Springs Cafe.

    Mike never misses and Zooquarium will most certainly be a hit.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Do Centipedes Have So Many Legs?
Q: What was the process of animating Mr. Centipede for James and the Giant Peach?
The animation involved testing with the puppet, then offsetting limb movements so the arms' motion appears as a coordinated, leading-following sequence, creating an elegant on-screen movement.
Why Do Centipedes Have So Many Legs?
Q: How do centipede legs affect their movement compared to millipedes?
Centipedes are fast and their legs move in a wave-like pattern, while millipedes move more slowly with a smoother, rolling motion.
Why Do Centipedes Have So Many Legs?
Q: Why do centipedes have so many legs?
Chanel explains that many legs help centipedes navigate their dark, cluttered habitats and move quickly to catch prey and escape threats, essentially acting like a fast conveyor belt.
What Are Those Giant Beaks on Toucans About?
Q: Do toucans have a preference for types of fruit?
Yes, toucans prefer ripe and fresh fruits, like bananas and blueberries, and they have good taste receptors to choose the best ones.
What Are Those Giant Beaks on Toucans About?
Q: What are toucan beaks made of and are they very heavy?
Toucans' beaks are very lightweight and hollow, which makes them not as strong for excavation but suitable for their needs.
