What do werewolves eat for lunch? Why do they stay away from chocolate? And how do you train a werewolf not to chase after balls… in front of the whole school?
In this fur-raising episode of The Creature Detective, junior Keeper Darcy McAllister interviews Billy, a real-life werewolf (or more specifically, a wereboy) who just wants to make it through school without causing a playground incident. From wilderness schools to weekend howl-athlons, Billy shares the inside scoop on modern werewolf life—including how to survive the full moon, why tracksuit pants are essential, and how the scariest thing for werewolves might just be the school handball court.
✨ Expect:
🐺 A werewolf who’s still figuring out his instincts
🎾 An unfortunate experiment involving a shiny red ball
🍬 Dog treats, biscuits… but absolutely no chocolate
🎙️ And a few hairy truths about growing up a shapeshifter

What do sardines, Dolly Parton, and a dolphin named Juniper have to do with one of the world’s biggest unsolved mysteries?
In this splashy episode of The Creature Detective, junior Keeper Darcy McAllister sails straight into the heart of the Bermuda Triangle to interview Lurlene, a witty and whip-smart mermaid from the Southern Aquatic Council. But things don’t go swimmingly at first: Darcy accidentally breaks protocol, offends Lurlene’s fins and figure, and nearly blows the entire interview—until a can of sardines and a dose of humility save the day.
What follows is a rare insight into mermaid society: their clan structure, hunting traditions, communication with dolphins, and their ancient talent for song-based direction magic—the kind that may just explain the legend of the Bermuda Triangle…
