Hello everyone, welcome back to relax with animal facts. I am Steph Wolf and today I'm going to be

learning with you about our furry, scaly or possibly even slimy friends. And in today's

case, it is definitely going to be a

mustached friend of ours because we are covering the oh so wonderful walrus. Some animals just

don't seem to fit either furry, scaly, or slimy, and so you must wait to find out why they are our mustached

friends. This, of course, is a very special listener episode dedicated to Madeline, who wrote in

and requested this amazing creature. I believe it is increasingly more of a challenge to only

have one person to shout out on a particular

episode, and so, Madeline, I hope you enjoy yours. For how to request your very own episode

and for all of the facts that were used in this one, you can go to the show notes or the

description where it is immediately available to you, or you can

wait until the end in which I will tell you all of these things. If you want to start your very

own podcast about animals or whatever it be, I have written a book called Anyone Can Talk,

which is available in the description. You can also support the show through Patreon

if you so choose. And now, let us begin to slow down a little bit. We have to first do some

preparation before we go straight into our journey. As always, I have three primary exhortations for you. My first exhortation to you is to bring

your favorite pair of winter boots as well as your favorite winter jacket. We are definitely

going to need those where we are going. And the second thing I exhort you to do is to recognize

perhaps where you are carrying tension.

This portion is so unique to everybody in the sense that somebody might notice that their shoulders are always up,

or maybe they carry tension in their hands like I do.

But regardless of wherever that tension is, my exhortation is the same.
