I was on the show to promote the 75th annual National Wildlife Week, and I have to say, I was so impressed by Molly when she was immediately able to identify a pretty obscure animal called a binturong (or “bearcat”) that I brought out for the pre-segment tease.

I asked her how she knew what it was, and she told me that her kids are big animal lovers, and through them she’s learned about a lot of different species. Given that National Wildlife Week is about connecting kids to nature and teaching them about wildlife, I just thought that was the coolest thing ever (and yes, I’ll be sending Molly a package of Ranger Rick and Ranger Rick Jr. magazines for her kids).
