Listener Questions: Chameleons, Octopuses, and Living Colour 🦎🐙

About this episode

This episode answers children's questions about how chameleons and octopuses change color.

In this episode we have three super questions. One from Callum is 6 years old and lives in Manchester, England. He wants to know how chameleons change colour. Next, Albert who is 5 years old and lives in Maine, wants to know something very specific — can chameleons turn white? And Cora who is 8 years old and lives in the Pacific Northwest, wants to know how octopuses change colour. Grown-ups: we value your feedback. Our email and message link are in the episode notes—please send us your child’s questions and thoughts. Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️👂📖 --- ✨ Want more science and fewer interruptions?
