Giant Pacific Octopus | 6

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!

The next episode is an April Fools’ Day special, so no riddle. You can send in your questions and episode suggestions to animals@kingdomanimaliapod.com and our website is at https://kingdomanimaliapod.com/kazpk.
