About this episode

In this episode, we learn why some frogs are poisonous, which snake is more venomous, the king cobra or the rhinoceros cobra and what happens when a venomous spider bites you. Then, taking a break from poisonous animals, we learn why the sun looks red at sunset and about how the world was made. Thank you for submitting your questions!
