| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, welcome back to relax with Animal Facts. I am Steph Wolf and today I'm going to be |
| 0:12.8 | learning with you about our furry, scaly or possibly even slimy friends. And in today's case, |
| 0:20.4 | it is definitely going to be one that's a bit |
| 0:22.8 | different. It's going to be a spiky friend of ours because we are covering the oh so wonderful |
| 0:30.4 | Akidna. This, of course, is a very, very special listener episode dedicated to Alicia, Terry, Chloe, Jody, Kirsty, and to Ava. Thank you all for |
| 0:43.9 | taking the time to write into the show and for the wonderful suggestion. For how you can request |
| 0:49.7 | your very own animal episode and for all of the facts used in this one, you can either wait till |
| 0:56.7 | the end or you can go into the description or the show notes where all of that information |
| 1:01.8 | is there. If you would like exclusive episodes and also to support the show, you can do so by |
| 1:08.2 | going to patreon.com slash relax with animal facts, or you can just click the link |
| 1:13.4 | that is also in the show notes. And now we are going to begin to slow down a little bit. |

| 1:26.3 | The first is that you put on your favorite pair of boots. |
| 1:30.0 | If you don't have any of your own, don't worry we supply them here. The second is to notice |
| 1:36.0 | perhaps where you are carrying some tension. It can be challenging to relax when we're stiff as a |
| 1:42.0 | board. And so what I encourage you to do is to notice where that |
| 1:46.1 | tension is. It might be in the hands or in the head, in the shoulders, and do your best to impersonate |
| 1:52.8 | jello. And when I mean impersonate that jello, I mean go for an Oscar award-winning performance. |
| 2:00.4 | Simply, we do not need any of that tension where we are going today. |
| 2:05.1 | And my third and last exhortation to you |
| 2:08.0 | is to allow your mind to wander and journey with me |
| 2:12.0 | into the grasslands of mainland Australia where the Akidna resides. |
