The Extremely Questionable Creatures Podcast is an educational entertainment podcast that uses humour, storytelling and genuine scientific investigation to encourage children to observe carefully, ask questions, examine evidence and stay curious about the natural world.

Each episode of the Extremely Questionable Creatures Podcast opens a new Creature Case File, our Junior Researchers are presented with reports of an unusual creature, extraordinary animal behaviour or mysterious claim.

Their job is to investigate the evidence and decide, is the creature:

REAL.

LEGENDARY.

An INSTITUTE ORIGINAL.

OR NOT YET DETERMINED.

To help with the investigation, we speak with scientists, researchers and animal experts who can explain what we know, what we don't know, and how scientists investigate questions about the natural world. Sometimes we'll investigate animals so strange you'll be convinced someone made them up. Animals with transparent heads. Frogs that freeze solid. Spiders that dance. Fish that walk. And creatures that can survive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth.

Other times we'll investigate legendary creatures. Creatures people have reported seeing for hundreds, or even thousands of years. And occasionally, we'll investigate creatures that may exist only within the confidential archives of the Institute.
