How many Monkeys can a Python Eat in One Go? Why do Squirrels like Eating Nuts? Do Koalas get Bored only Eating Eucalyptus?

Hello and welcome to episode 37 of Everything Under the Sun, a weekly podcast answering all the most pressing questions children around the world have about life on earth. Today our questions are all about animals and eating!   Our question comes Cormac who wants to know about snakes and eating! He’d like to know how many monkey a python can eat in one go? To answer him we have Crocodile Joe who knows all about crocodiles, snakes and spiders and does educational shows about the creatures for children! Next up we have a question from Wilf about koalas and eating! Wilf would like to know if koalas get bored eating only eucalyptus. Find out how fussy koalas are about eating, why they sleep all the time and have tiny brains and why baby joeys lick their Mum’s bottoms!  Thirdly we have a question about squirrels and eating from Arthur, he would like to know why they like eating nuts? Discover which nuts they eat, how they hide them, then find them again and how much time they spend pretending to hide nuts so other creatures don’t find their stash.  A huge thank you to Crocodile Joe for telling us all about pythons and how many monkeys they can eat and to Cormac, Wilf and Arthur for this week’s lovely questions!  I’ll be back next week answering more questions from children around the world in another episode of EUTS. Do send in your questions, there’s info about how to do that on the show’s website, everythingunderthesun.co.uk.  Remember, the questions will now also be in the Everything Under The Sun BOOK, I need all the questions soon as I’m busy writing away so please do send them in as soon as you can!  If you like the show people do rate, review and subscribe and tell all your friends to do the same, it really does help!
