Your Shortcut to… Dads – For Fathers’ Day

Some dads brave the Antarctic winter to protect a single egg… others give birth to hundreds of babies… and almost all of them believe their jokes are hilarious.

In this Squiz Kids Shortcut for Father’s Day, Christie and Bryce meet some of the animal kingdom’s most extraordinary fathers. From egg-balancing emperor penguins and pregnant seahorses to fish dads that occasionally eat their own offspring.

They also discover how dadding has changed throughout human history, explore the origins of Father’s Day, and celebrate the dads, grandads, stepdads and other special people who do the dadding in our lives.

There’s also a S’Quiz at the end… so listen carefully!
