Hello listeners how are you doing today I hope you're doing fine welcome back to Luke's English podcast so animals what do you know about animals do you know how to talk about animals in English do you know the various bits of vocabulary that we use to talk about these creatures that we share our world with for example do you know the answers to these questions first of all what does a male lion have around its neck what you Call all the hair that a male lion has around its neck what what kind of feet does

since we're talking about animals this episode also features a conversation with my daughter not that she's an animal although maybe she is she is a Human After All now uh my daughter at the time of the recording uh which was late last year she was 6 years old so she was six when we recorded this episode together Now long-term listeners will probably already be a bit familiar with her because she's been on the podcast a few times before with little clips that I've played during rambling episodes over the last few years in fact she was

first on the podcast just a few days after she was born you can hear her making little noises in the background of some episodes including number 52 which is called the birth of my daughter where my Wife and I talked about uh well the birth of our daughter um and since then she's also appeared at various times and if you've been listening you've you've been able to track the development of her of her English right uh she is bilingual she speaks French and English and now uh now she's six in fact she's seven now because

it's been a she had her birthday uh fairly recently um so now it's wonderful because we can have pretty Much full conversations she's she's able to express herself uh very well she knows quite a lot about the world around her and has plenty of vocabulary now which is great her brother on the other hand is only 18 months old and his vocabulary uh is limited to a few words at this point namely the words car uh the word the word ball and the word poo poo and things like that so it's pretty basic but uh

my daughter on the other hand you can actually have a proper Conversation with her her now so I was looking for a way to include my daughter in another episode of the podcast and I thought that the subject of animals would be a good one kids love animals and they seem to know quite a lot about them so she has books about animals she watches some animal documentaries on TV we like to watch the the David atra ones you know and generally she's interested in a lot of animal related things like most children so I

thought that we could Talk about animals and specifically I wanted to explore various bits of vocabulary relating to animals and I thought of this because in one of my English lessons the other day a question came up about the different words that we use to describe animals feet we have different words for Animals feet different different words for different animals for example which animals have feet which animals have paes and which animals have hooves and also what about Talons flippers and fins and by the way all these words and the answers to those questions I

asked you before they're all going to come up during the episode so all this stuff made me think that there is quite a lot of specific vocab relating to animals so that's what we could focus on so what you're going to hear is my daughter and me U taking an animal vocabulary quiz with various questions about different words for Animals animal parts where They live what they do the sounds they make uh words for groups of animals and plenty more and I'm sure that there's a lot of vocabulary for you to pick up from this

in fact there are over 60 items of vocab for you to learn some of them no doubt you will know already in that case good for you give yourself a slap on the back for being so clever um but do you know them all and crucially and crucially do you know more than a six-year-old child And if you don't if if my daughter gets more questions right than you then don't worry uh because I have been training her quite hard in the ways of the English language she is my prote or Padawan learner so I've

been trying to train her in the ways of English so if she beats you in the test don't feel too bad so we recorded this one afternoon uh at the end of last year when she was off school she was at home because she was a little bit ill she was a bit sick with Flu she was fine but she wasn't really ready to go back to class so I was staying at home with her and we decided that we could do this quiz as a way to entertain ourselves and record a podcast at the

same time so you might hear that she has a slightly blocked up nose apologies if that is obvious and you might hear the occasional sniff or sniffle from her but I think it's not too bad I edited out um the moments when she coughed slightly so it should be Fine now you'll find all the questions and answers to this quiz on the episode page on my website by the way also Al keep listening because I will sum up a lot of the vocabulary that you'll hear during this conversation at the end of the episode I'll

do another mini quiz as a vocab review so you can check what you remember um so if this episode is long that's the reason it's going to be half the conversation with my daughter and then half vocabulary review stuff if You're watching the video version of this episode on YouTube you'll see that there is no video for the part with my daughter uh we just recorded audio uh but you will see text and pictures on the screen so keep watching you'll see you'll see stuff happening on the screen to help you if you're just listening

to the audio version then on the page for this episode on my website you will find all the quiz questions there answers a list of all the vocabulary in my vocab Review at the end some pictures to help you and a vocab quiz with answers so you can see what you've learned in the episode actually I think it all be it will all be on a PDF F in fact in any case you'll find a link in the description to where you can find all of that stuff so then without further Ado let's get into

this animal vocabulary quiz and conversation with my daughter and here we go right so what's the situation today we're going to talk About animals that's right but I was going to say first what's been going on today at home why are you at home why aren't you at school because I'm sick are you feeling okay at this moment yes okay good but just possibly a slightly blocked up nose yes all right so we're going to do an animals vocabulary quiz a quiz about animals right you ready yes um animals are you an animal no no

aren't you yes yes what kind of animal are you um I um when I didn't Exist I was a mon Mony what wait a minute when you didn't exist you were a monkey what do you mean well when I wasn't in here the other people um who were before me were monkeys oh I see right you mean that you are descended from well you yeah humans you're a human um but some of the monkeys lived on the trees and so they were easily dead and go no this is good and the other ones who decided

to go on the ground easily sore things so they They could run away yeah this is a sort of version of the theory of evolution that um you've you've kind of heard from me but not entirely understood but that's all right but yeah you are an animal you're a human a human being yeah humans are animals as well but we're we're different from other animals aren't we yes because we don't look like an animal really I don't know we don't have pointy ears this is true um anyway let's not And we don't have um claws

or Hooves we only have hands like the monkeys and feet and feet like the monkeys that's right okay right let me just so we kind of in the in the in the family of the monkeys yes this is true we are well sort of in the in a large family with monkeys we're in a closer family with Apes why are Apes apes are large uh animals like us that have hands and feet and opposable Thumbs and uh we all um evolve from a common ancestor but we can't talk to each other we can't talk well

you can talk to some Apes some chimp for example orangutangs are intelligent enough to use language and some people have taught chimpanzees for example to communicate with a basic form of sign language that's interesting isn't it so you can talk to some of them but I I didn't know that we could talk to some of them but I did know that we can do Hand to language right like sign language yes now they can't actually have a chat with you yes you can't be like hi Mr chimpanzee how are you and they're like oh I'm

fine thanks you know you can't have a conversation with them but it is possible to communicate with them yes anyway right so what I'd like to do with this is to uh help my listeners to learn some vocabulary to describe animals okay and I thought that you could help me and we're going to do That by doing this quiz I'm going to ask you some questions let's see if you can answer the questions and perhaps explain what some of the words mean right so are you ready this is I've actually got four rounds to this

quiz I'm not sure we'll do all of it we'll see how we go are you ready for round one yes okay so round one is in a few different parts part one is multiple choice you have to choose the correct answer choose the correct answer so which of these animals is an Amphibian what's the amphibian an an amphibian is a type of animal so there are six basic animal groups okay animals can be put into six basic groups invertebrates fish amphibians reptiles birds and mammals and amphibians are animals that can live in the water or

they can live on the land they can sort of live in both situations okay so it's say lizard and a Frog NES and frogs and toads yes and maybe some other things like maybe Salamander I think is an amphibian might be wrong let me check is a Salander an amphibian or a reptile they're amphibians yes amphibians are frogs toades NES and salamanders so there you go most amphibians have complex life cycles with time on land and in the water so they live in both situations their skin has to stay wet to absorb oxygen and so

they don't have scales on their skin reptiles include Turtles snakes lizards alligators and Crocodiles anyway back to the quiz so which of these animals is an amphibian is it a dolphin a frog an owl a lizard a frog a frog is the correct answer well done that's one point to you do you know what these other ones are what groups these other animals belong to Dolphin which one do you think that is fish no it's not a fish but tell me why you thought it was a fish because it somehow looks like a fish yes

it does look a bit like a fish uh they have fins And they swim underwater they live in the in the ocean yes and also they have a tail like the fish this is correct but actually but they don't have any scales correct and they also don't have something very important for fish that helps them to breathe do you know what that is no so fish have these little sort of openings on the side of their head or body they're called gills and fish use Brea use gills to breathe underwater but Dolphins don't Have gills

but but there's a animal well not kind of a animal who doesn't exist a mermaid who says they don't exist are you sure yeah they don't exist but you know maybe maybe he wants a on a time they did there are legends about them anyway uh dolphin is a mammal right because actually dolphins breathe like us they have lungs like us we're mammals as well dolphins breathe I knew that we're mammals but we're not Birds we're not reptiles we're not Invertebrates or fish orians but we're mammals like the monkeys so when when we and the

and the mouse and the cat yes when we have babies we don't lay eggs like a lot of these other groups of animals lay eggs but humans don't neither do dolphins cats rats um these yes these birds lay eggs yeah reptiles lay eggs amphibians lay eggs mhm M fish fish lay eggs they lay eggs yeah Um Inver I don't know how to say invertebrates yes do they lay eggs this is a very good question do invertebrates lay eggs all the species that belong to invertebrates have their own life cycle all invertebrates lay eggs and the

eggs of some species directly hatch into an adult and some enter into the Lara stage and then move to an adult so um they they they don't go into a baby so some invertebrates lay eggs and Those eggs hatch into babies others uh are like insects insects what they do is they have two stages they've got the lvy stage and then the the sort of fully grown stage so a butterfly before it becomes a butterfly it is a caterpillar caterpillar exactly you know that from that book The Very Hungry Caterpillar and also before the book

yeah you knew that without the book yeah yeah um so they their caterpillars they go around they they hatch from a little egg they Go around eating eating eating eating eating then they F find this kind of um well they they um build a puper around themselves and then they and then they stay there for a bit and then they open and then they go butterly that's right they open out and Bobs your uncle so dolphin is a mammal frog is in an amphibian an owl is a kind of what a fish or no a

bird a bird right they fish I didn't know owls were fish they're not they're not fish I know They're Birds yes that's my owl impression I don't have any yeah you do that's pigeon yeah that's right something like that and then lizard okay fine we understand it's difficult to do an impression of a lizard what do they do they just stick their tongue out yeah second question out of a lot are you ready yes question number two What do you call the hard outer covering of a crab or a tortoise what's say what's say um

what hard outer covering yeah so what is a crab covered in it's kind of it's quite hard same as a tortoise has one of these and uh shell a shell is the correct answer well done that's a huge audience of people all applauding you so the shell that's right a crab has a shell torus has a shell can you name another animal that Has a shell um um snail snail very good extra bonus points for you there so what are the other options we've got fur shell scales and hoof well a hoof is the odd

one out here because this is not something that covers an animal's body a hoof is like the foot of a horse or the foot of say ho yes a deer right one hoof two Hooves but fur what animals have fur it's the cats yeah um dogs yeah dogs then there's Deers deer not deers one deer two deer 3D yeah exactly they they're covered in fur shell we know scales can you tell me two animals that have scales on their skin um so um wait frog no no I mean um I was going to say fish

yes fish fish yes correct and snake snake well done okay question number three which of the following is a term for a group of lions what do you call a group of Lion Wait a Minute listen list to all the options is it a pack of lions is it a herd of lions Is it a pride of lions or is it a swarm of lions a pride of lions a pride of lions is the correct answer well done excellent how did you know that because um in it's a film it's a film The The Lion

King yeah they talk about that in The Lion King do they the pride of lions yes okay great great it's the correct answer well done this is just shows that Disney cartoons can actually teach you things a pack of what horses no that's a her of Horses I suppose so um what this swarm a hold on a pack of wolves oh yeah right uh a herd of uh sheep is it a herd of horses hold on this yeah herd of horses is is the most common name for a group of horses uh well done uh

a swarm is normally for insects and a swarm is for a large number normally of flying insects so you could have a swarm of bees bees Bingo and and also flies and also mosquitoes yeah yeah that's Right although they don't often come in swarms do they I suppose you could have them you a swarm swarm swarm with it's very common swarm of locusts what are locusts locusts are things a bit like crickets or grasshoppers right and they fly in big swarms and they land in fields and they eat all the crops in the fields what

are crops crops are plants that grow that we use for food right anyway number four are you Ready yes yes good cuz nodding your head is good for me but the audience of people in podcast land can't hear you nodding maybe maybe they can maybe they can I don't know how would they hear you nodding just I don't know anyway question four what is the name of the part of a bird used for flying wings wings yes I knew that already you did know that already yeah it's too easy I was going to say the

Part of the bird used for flying is surely it's the whole thing right the the bird itself the body uh Wings is the correct answer well done uh other options include fins Talons and antlers yes fins we've talked about yeah so fish Dolphins they have fins Talons what are Talons Talons you would find CLA claws exactly but they don't fly Talons well some birds have talons but they don't use the talons to fly they use their wings and tail to fly if I was a animal I I would kind of use my claws I would

do you'd use your Talons for flying would you I would try to really okay you would have a I tell you what if you could do that you would have a Talon for flying with Talons that's called a dad joke right antlers antlers are this yeah which animals have antlers on their heads um like um ants ants really yeah well antlers is the word but most ants don't have antlers some ants More some Beatles might have they might have horns but no antlers are things like deer reindeer for example have have antlers you know think

of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer he's him and his reindeer Pals have big antlers on their heads don't they so those large horns and he's got a red nose as well because he was um I know why because um he catched the cold CAU a cold yeah CAU a cold is that why he's got a red nose yes so he's working even though he's got a Cold yes oh dear okay and also his friends say he likes to to drink a um a bit of um um water water is it I think so it's not

like something else he wouldn't be drinking like wine or something to get red nose I don't know I don't know either to be honest anyway what is a herbivore is question five what is a herbivore would you like the options or do you know already an animal that eats meat well That's the first option but in these multiple choice things don't just go for the first option every time right so is it a an animal that eats meat is it B an animal that eats plants is it C an animal that eats both plants and

meat or is it D an animal that only eats insects now think of the word herbivore the answer is in the word herb oh I know it's actually um an animal that's eats plants is the correct answer yes it's an animal that eats plants that's a Herbivore so things like sheep cows these are herbivores right because they just eat grass mostly do you know the word for an animal that just eats meat um no carnivore oh right and what about an animal that eats both plants and meat I don't know omnivore an omnivore and what's

an animal who that only eats insects you know what I'm not sure I think maybe an insectivore or something hold on what let me just ask the Internet um what do you call an animal that only eats insects insectivore I was right yay okay that's the end of part one let's move on to part two are you ready you're doing well I think you've got wait did you get you got five out of five didn't you yes I'm not really keeping track but I did yeah you got five out okay decent so part two is

match the animal to its group name okay so the group names include herd swarm Pod flock and school school school yeah School of don't a school of something a herd of something a swarm of something a pod of something and a yeah yeah like pod a plock of something flock flock so here are the animals bees elephants fish dolphins and sheep so bees you know this bees are swarm a swarm of bees correct uh elephants herd a herd of elephants well done fish this is the tricky one there's a couple of words for fish Pod

a it's not a pod of fish unfortunately it's not a flock either school a school of fish yeah we do say a school of fish uh you can also say a sh of fish which is s h o a l a sh of fish or a school of fish so if you're swimming in some beautiful Water Somewhere in some exotic place you're snorkeling you know you got your your mask on and your snorkel and your flippers and you're swimming around and there are these shols of beautiful Tropical fish in the water uh or maybe if

you go even deeper into the ocean you see an entire school of fish in a big group you know so well done dolphins or a pod a pod of dolphins we do say that a pod of whales and sheep is say flock a flock of sheep well done four out of five on that one uh part three fill in the blank so can you complete the sentences with the correct animal related word number one a kangaroo you know what a kangaroo is right uh where Do you find kangaroo kangaroo in Australia Australia yeah it's amazing

you know stuff you just know things how do you know these things I don't know I just guess I think it's I think it's it's cuz i' I told you right it's cuz you everything you've learned you learned from me right I taught you everything you know some of the things I just guessed okay a kangaroo carries its baby in a in a What in um a Pockets this is good but it's not exactly the right word I don't know it's a pouch pouch okay which is like a little pocket like you've got a kind

of a a pouch on the front of your hoodie here where you can put your hands in to keep them warm and I can touch my hands you can hold your hands together and keep them nice and warm in there uh number two owls have sharp claws called um um we had This word already really yes tal t t Talon Talons oh Talons remember yeah okay you doing all right you're not getting tired not really okay uh snake's skin is covered in what scales sorry scales good that was easy easy peasy yeah okay I can

read this a baby dog is called a puppy yes a baby dog is called a puppy and number five the man of the man of a lion land is found Around its head yeah I would say that's right the main of a lion is found around its head and neck yeah so male lions have this big man which is but um but girl Lions um don't have any that's right they don't yeah it's just the male lions who have them to make themselves look very impressive to the female lions who think look wonderful if they've

got a a really big impressive M will marry them yeah how do they marry some Lions how do lions marry each other yeah well They don't they don't get married um as far as I know they don't have wedding ceremonies the concept doesn't exist in the world of lions oh so they just uh they just see each other and they get together yeah that's it basically yeah yeah uh it's complicated the Society of lions has slightly a different culture to the Society of humans but you basically got it there yeah that's the basics of it

right part four odd one out You understand what that means yes of course you do choose it's bark okay so choose the word in each group that doesn't belong so with the first one we've got fur yeah feather yeah Fin and bark it's bark why is it bark because bark it's a thing we find on trees yes it's a thing we find on trees so the surface of trees is covered in bark sorry but also bark the word bark is associated with some animals okay woof Woof dogs bark don't they you've got it's and here

it's cow so that's cow whale dolphin shark and it's well kind of it's we need to find them yeah um it's animals it's animals in the in the water and cows don't live in the water no so it's cow the odd one yeah cow is the odd one out for the next group cow whale dolphin shark cows don't live the water I mean I've never seen a cow in the water but I'm assuming that they Wouldn't do very well yeah um number three antlers horns Wings Hooves well it's Hooves it's Hooves uh is it I

think so it's not really uh wings wings wings wings because well it's a thing we fly with exactly antlers horns Hooves these are all things that you would find on the same animals so like uh deer they have antlers and Hooves it's not entirely clear this one but I would say it's it is Wings cuz wings are on birds and antas horns and Hooves are On like mammals like horses sheep goats yeah deer right number four Hive Nest Den web oh that's not easy what is a hive do you know it's where bees live yes

a nest it's where um well there's none well what is a nest a nest is where um birds live Birds yeah and a den do you know what that is it's where kind of deers live deer deer could live in a den or lions yeah live in a den we say a lion's den and a web it's where spiders live normally just one spider so web is The odd one out first of all it's it's for spiders and the others are for different animals um hm that's not why it's the odd one out the the

reason it's the odd one out is because Hive nest and den these are where you find large groups of animals living together but web is normally just one spider yeah okay round two animal vocabulary quiz round two part one multiple choice what do you call animals that are active at night do you know are they nocturnal Dial aboreal or aquatic nocturnal yeah that's right that's right that's really impressive how old are you again 6 years old yeah nocturnal animals animals that come out at night dial they come out in the day aboreal what on Earth

I'm not I'm not even sure about that one myself they live in trees of course AR like in French AR arboreal they live in trees aquatic they live in the sea yeah or is just the sea or all water or the River or the Um where um we visit um what like a lake no where we see them in balls Oh you mean in an aquarium yes yeah I suppose so uh what's the name for a baby horse do you know it's um is it a fo a calf a kitten or a chick a fo

do you find them in the street or do you find them in parks in Parks special fancy Parks or just normal Parks fancy Parks right do you know a particular park where you can find peacocks the zoo the zoo yeah for sure And also castles yes like big castles often have peacocks in their Gardens so the tail feathers of a peacock do you know what's impressive about the tail of a peacock um when it sees a a female it does this so it opens its tail yeah and puts on a big display to the female

to say look at me I'm wonderful it's walking with its tail open yeah that's right and it kind of shakes its tail around that's right so So what do you call the tail feathers of a peacock it's Crest plumage scales or fur plumage I think I have to say it's the crest plumage is just the feathers and the the way the feathers have different colors so you can talk about the plumage of a bird is all of its feathers oh uh scales we know it's like on a fish or a lizard fur we know is

on a on a like a furry animal like a cat but it's Crest I'm pretty sure it's it's peacock Crest let me just Check you know what I'm wrong the Crest is actually what's on the head of the peacock the little sort of pretty feathers on its head and its plumage is the big impressive uh tail feathers well well we're all learning something uh this afternoon in the animal quiz so uh question five which of these animals can hibernate do you know what hibernate means no means they go to sleep for a very very long

time a bit like you earlier Today so which of these animals can hibernate do you want to say the animals Hedgehog camel camel yeah Gira dolphin it's a hedgehog yeah it's the right answer yeah little hedgehogs they find their own little little Nest maybe in a hedge or something in a pile of sticks and they they they go like um they go in a um to a bowl yes and they have their spikes like this because um when they sleep maybe um foxes can eat them but but when They have their spikes up it can

Spike other things yeah I'm not sure they sleep in a ball they definitely go into a ball to protect themselves from animals like especially foxes oh yes but they might sleep they might curl up a little bit but whether they go into a full ball is a is another thing but um yeah no you're right Hedgehog really common animal in England very cute little thing covered in spikes and in my Granny's and granddad's Garden sometimes In the nights there's some little hedgehogs yeah and they're so cute aren't they yeah they little nose little wet nose

metamorphosis yes you know about metamorphosis from Messy monster from Kido do you remember yes but I heard the song There's the song metamorphosis I can't remember how it goes now metamorphosis it's called metamorphosis It is metamorphosis isn't it yes metamorphosis that's a big word can you say it again metam metamorphosis it's one of those words with a pH in it yes and I did my spelling test of pH you did your spelling test of pH words yes was metamorphosis in there no you would have got it right though if it had been because you know

you know how to spell it so they go through a life cycle Called metamorphosis which is what we were talking about earlier which is where they go from an egg to a lari or like a caterpillar something like that or and then to wear butterfly eventually yeah or other other types of insects but they choose when they want to create their um their what do they call it PE puper yeah they choose when they want to do that they're um I think I'll make my pupa now yeah definitely Sunday afternoon feels like The right time

but they can't talk like humans do insects talk no what about bees buz they buzz and they you know what the bees do they do little dances to each other and they communicate by like yeah that's right if you actually put your ear close to a a beehive wait that would be stinging me what if they do the little dance well no if you put your ear close to a beehive they might not sting you yeah they would Just big you don't want that to happen but I I won't do that if you do it

carefully and slowly and you just put your ear up to the side of a beehive you can hear all the music inside and um part four true or false bats you know what bats are yes bats are mammals true or false mammals what are mammals mammals are animals that uh like humans uh cats dogs Dolphins mice uh sheep cows but but Do um bats have fingers like us yeah they do okay so it is a mamal and bats don't lay eggs they they have little babies true true it's true bats are mammals in fact bats

are pretty close to mice they're like because because it's flying mice in French what's see um I don't know how it's called something Su sh oh yes sh but what does that mean directly is that Bal bald it's a bald Mouse that's so in in English it's a bat In French it's a CH which is directly translat as a bald Mouse but it's weird that in French they decided to call them bald mice when surely the interesting thing about them is the fact that they fly should be flying mouse shouldn't it yeah not bald Mouse

yeah it's like what should we call these well they don't have much hair bald Mouse maybe maybe we should include the fact that they fly cuz that would be maybe the most interesting anyway Reptiles are warm blooded animals reptiles are what again no no no false it's false because they are um like lizards is coldblooded yes so they have to sit in the sun to heat up yeah exactly if they get all cold they they can't really move yeah like this so you're kind of Frozen yeah she's showing her showing us what it looks like

when a lizard gets Frozen and then there's the Sun and Then yeah they start to move when they've been in the Sun for a while number three the largest land animal the largest land animal is the African elephant no no it's the Indian it's the Indian elephant it's the wrong answer sorry the African is the largest animal the Indian elephant is also a very large animal but African elephants are larger okay so sorry you dropped a point there but overall it doesn't Really matter cuz you're doing so well a group of wolves is called a

pack is this true or false yes true yeah we had this earlier and number five octopuses have three hearts not false false an octopus's three hearts have highly different roles one heart circulates blood around the body while the other two pump it past the gills to pick up oxygen well well well well well I did not know that they had three hearts I knew they had eight uh tentacles tentacles or otherwise known as legs sometimes but three hearts I didn't know yeah and they have their mouth under that's right yeah she's currently pretending to be

an octopus going around eating things uh with a mouth in the middle of it body and it's eight tentacles that's the middle of body yeah that's true the bottom of body yeah it's the bottom so They kind of eat through their bum which is a bit weird isn't it yeah and where do they where do they do their poo yeah I'm not sure honestly I haven't I've never investigated an an octopus that closely how am which question should I ask Google um where do they where do octopuses do their poo poo where do octopi octop

octopuses or octopi octopi yeah where do octop Octopuses I think is okay okay puses do their poo poop in American English people wanted to know this is from Monteray Bay Aquarium why does it the giant Pacific octopus excretes waste through its siphon what say siphon it's a funnel like hole on the side of its mantle what's say mantle it's kind of like its body really as a result it's poop comes out as a long noodle like strand so it's kind of got like a little tube or hole in the side and it just Puke sticks

out like a noodle comes out like a noodle like a green noodle well this is a very disgusting way to end this episode congratulations you did really well I don't know how many points you got but you got loads uh so good for you how do you feel at this stage good okay just casual just another day in the successful life of you isn't it really just you know answering questions about animals even when you got a a blocked up nose uh all right anything else okay if You could be an animal which animal would

you be the horse really but not a unicorn yic exist you used to be obsessed with unicorns and now it's just unicorns don't exist don't be silly what about Father Christmas don't exist it doesn't exist when did you become so cynical Tooth Fairy doesn't exist Tooth Fairy doesn't exist all right and the te Fairy doesn't exist okay but but in England everyone um when we were in Grand and Granddad everyone has was at the table and what I don't understand my my tittin was in the ground everyone was at the table we were eating and

after um um our lunch I looked in there and it was pears how can someone do that okay so you're talking about your tetine which is in French the French word for a dummy or a pacifier the thing that little kids put in their mouths to relax them and help them sleep right in French it's a tetine in English we call it a dummy right or a Pacifier or a pacifier and the thing is that kids get very attached to them and there comes a point where the child gets to a certain age and you

think well they shouldn't really have a dummy anymore yeah but but but that I saw in the streets a a girl who was bigger than me and she had a tittin in her mouth that's not really great though is it I mean you you know shouldn't have a a pacifier for that long no you shouldn't really because it it makes our teeth go like Forward yeah that's right yeah but but for a long time it really makes your te go forward but not for a long time it doesn't really okay but it's bad for you

still so anyway we in order to it can be difficult to separate a a pacifier from the child cuz the child gets very upset and so what we did is we had a special ceremony where we buried your tetine in the garden and then said that the tetin fairy would come and take it away and replace it with a gift yeah and think it Was pearls and you got some pearls some beads that you could use to make bracelets and necklaces and so you buried it in the ground and then had lunch went back outside

and there was this little gift sitting on the grass yes but everyone was on the table so how can someone do that it's yeah it's a mystery isn't it remember Daddy really tell maybe sorry to spoil the magic but maybe when you weren't looking someone popped outside and uh told the ttin fair No but the T and Fairy doesn't exist no you're right you're right you're right someone must have popped outside when you weren't looking maybe we distracted you and then we put the little box of pearls um of beads in the spot where you

buried your pacifier and uh and it was a nice surprise for you and it worked because you weren't bothered about the about losing your pacifier and you were just happy to get your little present weren't you yeah I thought it was was Going to be a toy when I was little I loved unicorns so I thought it was going to be a unicorn like an actual unicorn no not a actual one and just a toy you know the one that we um that's granny and Granddad and you and mommy don't like yeah the one that

makes all that noise yeah yeah but I still like unicorns but you prefer horses really know yeah okay okay why do you love horses so much because they exist yeah but you know hedgehogs exist but you Don't you're not so mad about them no no okay it's not just that they exist it's just because they're a bit similar of the Unicorn because it's just you remove their horn and then it's a horse yeah that's right and they're also beautiful wonderful magnificent animals aren't they and when they do um when they rear up on their back

legs it's so pretty and they go like because um in spirits the film Spirits um you know the the how do we Call it before the start the film oh in the opening titles of the TV series or film yeah um she does she cars on sopia I know I mean Sophie is on um spirits and when there's the ledge a ledge like a cliff top yeah um it she goes up on her back legs yeah yeah but it's a boy it's a boy yes okay all right great thanks so much for um for doing

this episode I want to say um bye-bye okay you can do that bye-bye I hope you have a lovely Christmas uh this might not go up uh before Christmas it might go up after Christmas oh yeah sorry you can say I hope you had a lovely Christmas I hope you had a lovely Christmas and a wonderful New Year and a wonderful New Year and a a wonderful um Boxing Day right yes okay byebye thank you for listening to us so there you go thank you again to my daughter for taking part in this episode I

hope you all enjoyed listening to that And that you learned a thing or two about animals and the vocabulary we use to describe them I wonder how many of the questions you got right did you beat my daughter now I have to say I'm very impressed by her vocabulary perhaps I can get her back on the podcast again at some point for another vocabulary quiz because I think this was very nice and a good way to teach you some English words on a specific topic actually we didn't finish the full quiz I have another Couple

of rounds of questions with answers that we could do together another time perhaps so there might be animal vocabulary quiz too or maybe a vocab quiz about something else now vocabulary recap what I'm going to do now is recap a lot of the vocabulary that you heard there in that quiz to make sure you've got it so I'm going to do a vocabulary review so there are over 60 items of vocabulary here in my list to recap so plenty to learn I'll try to Keep it fairly quick here because obviously 60 items as you know

could take me ages but I'm going to do this really quickly as much as I can so I'll try and keep it brief so this doesn't go on forever of course you know some of the things already right you I'm sure that you know a lot of the the words and things already but do you know them all so first of all do you remember those questions from the start of the episode so the first question is what does a Male lion have around its neck the answer is a main a man a lion's man

what kind of feet does a deer or horse have well they have hooves so that's one hoof and two Hooves see the plural is spelled h o o v s singular is h o f plural h o o v s so Hooves what kind of animal is a frog or a n well that is an amphibian am with a M sound amphibian what sound does a frog make well frogs croak or they say ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit that's what frogs Say in English they say Ribbit but otherwise you could say that they croak right a

croak is that sound that kind of sound other animals croak as well but certainly frogs croak or they actually say Ribbit a bit like the way dogs bark but in English they say woof so where do wolves foxes and lions sleep while they live and sleep in a den okay okay we'll come back to that word later what about bees where do we keep bees well we keep them in a Beehive uh where we get honey and stuff uh what do snakes and fish have on their skin they have scales and what do you call

animals that come out at night they are nocturnal so that was just a sample of some of the vocab that's going to come up in this list I thought I would give you the answers to those questions that I asked you at the beginning so now let me let me recap all of that stuff with you as quickly as possible check the Episode PDF for the vocabulary list and also some vocabulary memory quiz questions afterwards to help you check you've understood it all so the vocab review here's a recap of the animal vocab in the

episode first of all then we have the different types of animals right we've got mammals reptiles birds and invertebrates Amphibians and fish Okay so mammals then um mammals the characteristics of mammals they are warm-blooded vertebrates vertebrates means that they have a backbone they have a skeleton so mammals are warm-blooded vertebrates animals with a skeleton um usually they have hair or fur on their bodies at some stage of their life with some exceptions mainly those being whales and dolphins that don't have hair or fur Fe female mammals produce milk to feed their young Via mamory glands

mammals typically give birth to live young so they give birth to babies except monotes that's another classification of animal like platypuses and aidas which lay eggs so platypuses are extraordinary animals they're they're they're mammals but they have a beak and they lay eggs so absolutely weird things a kid are sort of like spiky porcupine anteaters I think they legs lay eggs as well but most mammals Uh give birth to live young babies examples of mammals include humans Lions dolphins and bats and in terms of identifi identification ID just check their passport that's probably the best

way you say oh mammal okay fine no um in terms of identification just look for fur or hair and note if the animal nurtures its young with milk that's how you work it out are you a mammal um so fur hair okay chck check breastfeeding baby fine yeah okay you can come into The mammal mammal Park I don't know what don't know what that is um reptiles I think you know their characteristics are they're coldblooded vertebrates they have scaly dry skin they lay soft shelled eggs although some of them give birth alive young most of

them um lay eggs soft shelled eggs and they breathe through lungs examples include snakes lizards Turtles and Crocodiles in terms of identification uh check for scales on the skin coldblooded Behavior like for example stealing someone's girlfriend or just general James Bond stuff you know cold- blooded Behavior I don't know what cold blooded Behavior I suppose means he uh warming themselves in the sunshine and egg laying in most cases uh Birds then I mean I think you know what birds are right warm-blooded vertebrates they have feathers and wings almost always they Always have feathers don't they

and wings they lay hard shelled eggs most of them can fly with their wings although some birds notably are flightless including ostriches Penguins um and others um emu I think um examples include sparrows Eagles parrots and flamingos in terms of identification look for feathers and a beak and wings a beak that's the hard part on the front of their head invertebrates this is I Think a very large category of animal um they don't have a backbone they often have exoskeletons these are skeletons on the outside external skeletons like insects and they are found in diverse

environments they're found in all sorts of different environments on the land in the water examples are insects spiders octopuses snails and jellyfish in terms of identifying them look for a lack of a backbone and a wide variety of body structures basically if It's not one of the other types of animal it's an invertebrate uh fifth is amphibians amphibians they are coldblooded vertebrates so they've got a backbone coldblooded like reptiles they live thing about amphibians is they live in the water and out of the water so part of their life is is lived in the water

as lari for example lari this is like a early stage in the animals development they might go from being an egg to being A lvy to being a fully grown adult so part of their life is lived in the water normally as ly and then another part is lived on land when they're adults they have their skin is moist meaning slightly wet permeable skin which means that things can pass through it for gas exchange and they lay eggs in water examples are frogs NES which are a bit like frogs but sort of look a bit

more like reptiles and salamanders which are like large NES I think really in terms Of identification look for moist skin a life cycle involving water and eggs laid in aquatic environments then we have fish of course they are coldblooded they're vertebrates they live in water they breathe through gills gills are those things that fish used to breathe with right they're kind of slits behind the head where the water passes through and that's how they oxygenate themselves uh they have fins for movement these are the things they Flap which help them to move through the water

most fish lay eggs although some of them give birth to live young examples include obviously trout sharks clown fish you know Nemo from Finding Nemo uh in terms of identification look for the presence of gills crucially and fins and a water-based habitat right now um next thing is we're going to look at the different animals that were mentioned in the um in the episode right so let's play a guessing game for this Part I'll describe an animal and you have to tell me what it is now it's easier if you're looking at the PDF cuz

you'll be able to see the the animals I'm talking about but you don't need to be looking at the PDF you can just listen to my descriptions and try and tell me which animals I'm talking about so let's have a look at the let's look have a look at a few different animal um let's have a look at a few different types of animal and you can tell me Which ones uh they are okay so right this first animal it lives in the water and it's a mammal which already narrows it down quite a lot

they're said to be very intelligent um they um they have normally kind of gray skin they have a kind of a a snout an extended snout they have uh they look like they're smiling and they can do incredible tricks and they are not whales but they're similar to whales so they breathe through a blow blo hole on The top of their head it is of course a dolphin yes uh next animal it's a it's an amphibian they go ribbit ribbit ribbit they live in ponds and they jump they can theyve got these jumpy kind of

legs and they swim very well but they also live on the surface and they can they kind of catch flies by eating them by C they catch flies with their tongue which is very impressive in some places like in in the rainforest these things um secrete a Kind of dangerous poison uh which can be used to poison your enemies and some of those some of the things some of the stuff that they excrete can be sort of ingested to have some sort of incredible psycho psychedelic experience I think I'm talking of course about frogs so

that's a frog next is a bird a nocturnal bird with big eyes they fly very quietly in order to catch their prey and they appear in Harry Potter stories typically they can move their head people say they Can move their head all the way around it's not true they can look far to the left and right but they can't look all the way around that's ridiculous but um yes I'm talking about the owl owls or the an owl next um coldblooded animal if you're on holiday in a hot place you might see them running along

the floor or climbing up a wall and if you try to catch one they will drop their tail the tail can come off it's a mechanism I'm talking about lizzards of Course uh the next animal is quite a large mammal which um is incredibly well adapted to live in the desert I think you know what I'm talking about some cultures for some cultures these animals are extremely important central part of their culture uh they can walk through the desert because they've got these sort of hooves that have pads on so they can walk on the

sand without sinking in in and famously they're able to live for a very long time without drinking cuz They have this hump on their back which allows them to store lots of I guess it's fat to prevent them from getting dehydrated they are camels of course a camel I'm talking about camels next animal these are mammals which um are used by humans a lot and we keep them on farms so they're farmyard animals and we use them for milk for their meat uh we uh use them for leather right the skin and probably a lot

of other things uh they are of course cows and they go moo Moo like that cows and um is this the last animal in my list no it's not so the next one is a is these are the largest animals on Earth they live in the water yes they are mammals they have a blo hole at the top so they breathe air in and then swim down into the water and do all their things they are of course whales a whale the one in the picture is a humpback whale next is another large marine animal

uh the largest fish in the world um and Steven Spielberg made a film about one of them once it was called jaws and these are large fish very um incredible animals that are almost perfectly evolved they're like the the they've been the way they are for millions of years because they are just perfect basically um eating machines they swim through the water very efficiently and they can hunt and catch their prey and if one bites you then good luck basically they are sharks of course I'm talking about Sharks and then from sharks to something much

much more cute and wholesome if you met one of these you wouldn't be worried um they appear in my my parents Garden apparently according to my daughter lovely little things with a lovely uh wet nose and Spikes all over their body and they appear in your garden and they eat slugs and snails and things like that they nest in Hedges and if they are threatened they roll themselves into a ball a ball of spikes it is of course a Hedgehog okay and then finally a famous animal uh you find them in Africa very tall and

an incredibly long neck extraordinarily long neck it is the giraffe yes okay so that was the animal uh animal quiz I mean not the animal quiz that was the yeah the animal quiz which animals was I talking about there you go uh 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 animals that we had there the dolphin the Frog owl lizard cow whale shark Hedgehog camel and giraffe those were all Mentioned uh in the conversation what about where animals live what about where animals live can you tell me uh where an these animals live

so where does a where do bees live they live in a hive or at least a hive is the name for the thing that uh us humans make for bees so that we can then collect their honey that bees live in a hive otherwise I I guess you could talk about a bee's nest um birds of course um live in a nest don't they a spider what does a Spider build a spider builds a web and wolves um Lions uh foxes and other animals might live in one of these it's like could be a little

hole in the ground or a covered area it's a den right a den so we had a hive a nest a web and a den let me talk a little bit more about a den what that is so a description of a den a den is a sheltered space used by animals for resting hiding or raising their young common inhabitants of a den would be Foxes wolves Bears and Lions they can be found in caves in Burrows that's areas that have been dug into the ground or they are dug into the ground they provide protection

and warmth right animal body parts so uh what do fish have they use them to swim in the water they flap them and it helps the fish to move in the water of of course that is a fin or fins so if you are in a Steven Spielberg film and you're swimming in the water and then Suddenly and you see something coming through the you see something appearing in the on the surface of the water it's a shark's fin okay Birds what do birds have they use them to to fly it's of course Wings what

do uh birds like eagles and owls and Hawks and so on what do they have what kind of feet do they have these claws that they could use to grab their prey right they're kind of very spiky Sharp uh claws we call them Talons Talons t a l NS uh the next thing is what about um deer they have these magnificent hard kind of like horns on their head you can think of reindeer at Christmas time reindeer have these sort of sharp horns on their head that grow out in these large structures we call these

antlers antlers a n t l e r s antlers um so those feet that deer horses uh have cows have them as well These are Hooves as I said before a hoof or several hooves right um what does a kangaroo have a kangaroo is a marsupial and these marsupiales have this certain feature it's like a little thing that they can keep their babies in uh the babies can stay warm and protected in there and they can feed on milk in there as well it's called a pouch a pouch and as I said at the beginning

a lion what what is what do we call that Majestic looking hair that a male lion has it's a m m e uh Birds some birds have feathers on the top of their head which look fantastic it's like a a row of feathers that go over the top of the head and stick up uh that would be called a Crest and elephants what do elephants have um it's imagine this it's like having a nose it's like a nose imagine if your nose was long and had a hand at the end or a finger at the

end of it a Cross between a nose and an arm with a finger on the end it's of course a trunk an elephant's trunk and then a bird what does a bird have uh for its mouth it's like hard they use it to Peck things with it is a beak or Bill as well sometimes okay all right then um next let's move on to the next part of the quiz so covering an animal's body different things that cover animals bodies okay so what do birds have all over their bodies I think almost all Birds have

these um what are they what are birds covered with they use them to fly and keep warm and so on they are of course feathers otherwise known as plumage right feathers that's a countable noun plumage is an uncountable noun look at the beautiful plumage of this bird they' got fantastic plumage um dogs cats uh mammals are covered in this I mean humans have hair on the top of their head you know most of the time depending on the person but Animals are covered in hair and it can be nice if you you're with your dog

or cat you can stroke uh your pet and it's nice to put your hand rub your hand over their hair it's called fur of course fur um and then what about a snail or a tortoise or a crab for example they they have this hard thing uh that they use as a home in some cases or as a form of Defense it is of course a shell and then fish have got these all over their bodies snakes have got them on Their bodies as well they are scales so we talk about scaly skin or scales

so if you're if you're going to eat some fish you need to remove the scales first or um you often find scales all over the skin okay and then what about sheep what do what are sheep covered in we use it and turn it into sweaters and hats and things like that scarves gloves it is wool of course of course wool yes okay uh let's carry on so we had feathers plumage FL uh fur shell scales And wool now groups of animals groups of animals so um at this point uh let okay let me just

keep going I'm going to go really quickly now as quickly as I can here so we've got a pack of animals a pack of animals this is a group of animals that live hunt or travel together often with some sort of social structure like a hierarchical structure for example wolves wild dogs coyotes hyenas they go around in packs a pack of wolves a pack of dogs that's a pack Number 37 in my list of 60 words is the word herd a herd of animals a herd is a large group of animals that live and move

together often for grazing or protection so you can imagine a big big group of like herbivores animals that eat grass and things and crops a big group of them so we have a herd of elephants herd of cattle meaning cows a herd of deer a herd of bison a herd of zebras okay that's a herd a pride is a pride of lions and this is a just um a Word that's only used for Lions so a pride of lions is a social group of lions typically consisting of related females their offspring and a few adult

males so a pride of lions a swarm would be a swarm of insects right A large group of insects moving together often for migration or feeding so we talk about a swarm of bees a swarm of locusts locusts are those ones that will arrive in fields and eat all of the crops in a field and Completely devastate uh crops in farmlands that's locusts I think they're in the Bible as well there's a there's a plague of locusts which sweeps in um ants ants can come in swarms and mosquitoes what a dreadful thought a swarm of

mosquitoes coming in from the from the marshlands or something horrendous um also a pod so yeah a pod pod animals have pods they have podcasts as well apparently they don't imagine if animals had podcasts woof woof woof woof Woof woof woof woof woof ow wow that that that K9 podcast is fascinating isn't it or if your dog is a bit upset just put on the latest dog podcast and just let them chill out and listen to it no that's not what I'm talking what am I talking about a pod is a social group of aquatic

mammals mammals that live in the water go around in pods uh for protection for cooperation so we talk about a pod of dolphins and a pod of whales like a pod of orcas uh killer Whales or a pod of sperm whales so PODS of dolphins and whales some times seals as well seals are those mammals that they're a bit like the dogs of the ocean does that make sense look a little bit like dogs they've got whiskers but they have flippers um and they're covered in fur those are seals yeah seals they go they sometimes

can be referred to as living in pods um a flock what about a flock this is a Group of birds that travel or feed together for example a flock of sparrows a flock of geese um that are on the water or flying a flock of Starlings these are little black birds that are very common in the UK and sometimes you see them in murmurations these are these incredible huge vast flocks of Starlings all flying around uh in the evening time as the sun is going down and they fly around they look like a huge sh

of fish Or something in the sky and they make these incredible shapes it's an amazing sight to see that is a murmuration of Starlings huge flocks of little birds all flying around together a flock of parrots a flock of gulls or seagulls number 42 in the list is a school or sh and that would be a school of fish or sh of fish a group of fish swimming together typically for protection or for coordinated movement right a school of fish a sh of fish for example a sh of Sardine or tuna or Herring or mackerel

or something a Hu large group of fish interesting that we call them a school of fish um for eating eating animals that eat plants are called herbivores animals that eat plants and meat are called omnivores and animals that eat meat are called carnivores right what about baby animals words for baby animals what's the word for a baby dog it is of course a puppy um what about the word for a baby Cat that is yes of course a kitten uh what about the word for a baby horse do you remember it's a f fo f

o a l fo and baby cows baby camels baby dolphins baby elephants baby giraffes baby hippopotamuses baby deer baby rhinoceroses baby porpuses baby whales baby walruses and baby seals tend to be called Cals a calf c a l f okay a calf and then oh well there's another word here it's 61 items of vocabulary actually and A bonus word is the word um for a baby bird and that would be a chick right especially uh baby chickens so a chick okay what about animal sounds and um so um Bray the bray of a what the

bray of a donkey right and they go e o right that's what donkeys say in English what about raw the raw of a it's probably going to be a lion or a big cat the Roar of a lion the Roar of a tiger the Roar Of a bear Maybe so it's like some large uh aggressive animal would Roar uh a Tyrannosaurus Rex would Roar croak we've had that would be a frog or a toad what other animals might Crow uh croak I gave you the answer some birds croak don't they like a crow a crow

is a large black bird um and they kind of they they croak as well right uh what do cows do they go Mooo what do cats do they go meow uh what do uh dogs do they bark and they say woof okay all right and then some miscellaneous words at the end uh animals that come out at night that live at night that that do their stuff at night time they sleep during the day come out at night they are nocturnal animals that the other way around they are are out during the daytime and sleep

at night they are called dial animals animals that live in trees are are Boral And of course animals that live in the water are aquatic right what do some animals do during the colder months of the year like bears for example or hedgehogs they stay in a safe place and they sleep for a long time so that is to hibernate and then of course we had warm-blooded and coldblooded animals as well and that's the end of the list but if you check the PDF you'll see a vocab quiz which you can use to test yourself

okay like what which of these animals is A mammal what is the primary characteristic of a bird is it scaly skin feathers gills or an external skeleton of course it's feathers and so on and so forth I'll let you check the vocab quiz yourself there are answers there you could use that to just you know test that you've UND and remembered all the vocab but that's the end of the episode there you go I thought we would you know explore the world of animals in this episode and I hope that you've Enjoyed it and that

you learned a thing or two and um that you enjoyed listening to my lovely daughter even if she did have a little bit of a a cold when we were doing the episode hopefully that wasn't sort of disturbing for you at all to hear her the occasional sniffle coming from her she's much better now of course doing doing great doing really well um so leave a comment uh for this episode to let us know how that was for you for you did you get more questions Right than my daughter or not is your English better

than a six-year-olds or not now this is no ordinary six-year-old of course so don't feel bad if you didn't beat her uh but hopefully she helped you to learn a few bits of vocabulary in this episode okay thanks so much for listening to this one and I will speak to you again very soon but for now it's just time for me to say goodbye bye Bo Bo Bo
