Find out from two Brookfield Zoo residents who should know: Aussie Polar Bear and Kelsey Giraffe!

These clever creatures have recorded some of their adventures as they wander the zoo on off-hours. You can listen to these recordings as FREE downloadable Podcasts.

Okay, okay, we admit it: giraffes and polar bears cannot make recordings, and we certainly do not let them out at night. Instead, these come from the WILD and wacky minds of two Second City cast members who want you to know more about the animals at Brookfield Zoo. So follow along and learn about brown bears, callimicos, dolphins, groundhogs, and many more animals!

Here’s the entire series for you to listen to:

What is a Podcast?
Podcasts are simple sound files you can download to listen to on your computer or any MP3 player. We are considering their use for narrated walking tours in the future and will be using these fun and educational files as an experiment with the new technology. Once you have downloaded them, you can listen to podcasts (or as we call them, Zoocasts) wherever and whenever you want on your computer or MP3 player.
