Back in the mid nineties, CAPE produced a television show on Santa Cruz cable network called Speaking of Animals.  The show ran for many years and we produced more than 110 shows on every imaginable topic related to animals.  The studio allowed us to take animals onto the set, and Speaking of Animals was viewed by thousands of people and won numerous awards for Best Educational Programming.

We decided to bring Speaking of Animals back in our new, online format and we invite you to enjoy, share, and let us know if there are topics or speakers you would like us to feature.  You can email us directly via the website at [email protected].  Thanks for watching!  And don't forget to subscribe.
