5 animals, 4 real, 1 fake. Which are real and which Late-pril Fooled ya’?
______________________

April Fools’ Day was a time of tricks, pranks, and… of course… fools. Today your host, Devon, and co-hosts, Chet and Cap, will talk about five animal species: the Sarcastic Fringehead, Common Side-blotched Lizard, Atlantic Mudskipper, Hoatzin, and Stomach-Sucker, one of which is fake, and you’ll have to guess.

The reveal is in a bonus episode that was published one week later. Even though the deadline has passed for submitting your guess, you can still try to guess which it is before listening to it! And be sure NOT to share any of the facts in today’s episode until you know which animal is fake. Happy Late April Fools’ Day!

Updates on the next episodes of Kingdom: Animalia plus some jokes!
______________________

Sorry, you have to wait a little longer for the next episodes. It’s taken extra time because we’re making a miniseries for the animal you got the riddle for, and one of them was an interview; also, we’ve updated the cover art and the website. Also homework.
Update: The miniseries has been postponed for our anual April Fools’ special!
While you wait for the next episode, listen to Chet tell you three animal jokes to pass the time. Enjoy!
