| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, welcome back to relax with animal facts. |
| 0:10.0 | I am Steph Wolf and today I am going to be learning with you about our furry, scaly, |
| 0:18.0 | or possibly even slimy friends. And in today's case, it is definitely going to be a |
| 0:25.2 | furry friend of ours because we are covering the oh so wonderful Eastern Lowland Gorilla. |
| 0:34.2 | This, of course, is a very special listener episode dedicated to Maddie, who actually |
| 0:41.8 | requested the Western Lowland Gorilla, but I figured it was close enough. A little bit of a |
| 0:50.2 | preliminary note here, it does seem I'm on the edge of sickness. Hopefully this is as bad as it |
| 0:58.4 | gets, so if my voice sounds a little bit off, I am hopefully only a little sick. I am definitely |
| 1:07.2 | not sick enough to skip out on an adventure, and so here we are. |
| 1:14.0 | I just want to give a really big shout out to those of you who support the show on Patreon. |
| 1:20.7 | Because of how many of you are supporting the show there, I am able to take some time off of my job to actually edit the podcast |
| 1:31.1 | myself again. And so a big shout out to all of you patrons in allowing me to do that. But I thank |
| 1:39.7 | all of you listening for being a part of this animal podcast family. And it is today in which I will be |
| 1:48.1 | answering many of your questions about me. We have done over 200 episodes. We did an AMA on |
| 1:56.4 | episode 100. And so I figure why not do it again. I will be going over all of your questions at the end, |
| 2:06.3 | and so be tuned in for that. If you would like to help support the show and join that growing |
| 2:13.3 | patronage stuff on Patreon, you can get access to more exclusive episodes, and so I hope to see you there. |
| 2:22.3 | A huge shout out also to George Vlad for the ambiances used in today's episode. His work is |
| 2:30.3 | linked in the description, and I encourage you to check him out. And now let us begin to wind down |
| 2:38.2 | a little bit. A really important part of our adventures are doing a few preliminary things in preparation for |
| 2:47.6 | them. And if this is your first episode, I welcome you with open arms and encourage you to |
| 2:55.2 | follow along, and if you are a returning listener, you know exactly what I am going to be asking of you. |
