About this site
"Learning Trivia Through Stories" is the official reading companion site of the video channel "物語で学ぶ雑学". It publishes the stories from the videos as comics (panels) and text, so you can read them again at your own pace, one story at a time.
Series
The site currently features animal series. In "All kinds of animals," we follow a day in the lives of wild and zoo animal families. In "Cats and dogs," we introduce the lives of familiar cat and dog breeds, one breed at a time. Every story weaves reliable knowledge, shown on knowledge cards, into the tale.
About the reliability of the knowledge
The facts in the stories are based on public information from zoos, research institutions, and similar sources. Sources are listed at the end of each story's page. The animals' conversations (speech bubbles) in the stories are imagined, and are separate from the factual parts.
Video channels
Videos are published on the Japanese channel "物語で学ぶ雑学" and the English channel "Learning Trivia Through Stories". You can also watch the videos from each story's page on this site (published stories only).
