(rock'n'roll music plays)

In an animated frame, fast clip shows images of different animals: horses, llamas, pandas rolling down a ladder, a dog jumping for a treat, cats skateboarding, giraffes fighting one another and a snake lurking on the forest floor.

A son plays that says HUSTLE AROUND WITH THE
PONDERING PANDAS
TEACHING A DOG TRICKS
DISCOVERING ANSWERS
WE LOVE OUR CRAZY CRITTERS
WE LOOK TO FIND OUT
WHAT THEY DO
IT'S CREATURE MANIA
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

The name of the show appears in yellow animal print letters on an orange background. It reads "Creature Mania."

Alfie walks in his bamboo tree house.

Alfie is in his twenties, with short curly brown hair and wears eggshell trousers and a black T-shirt with white rims.

Alfie says WELCOME TO THE SHOW THAT'S ALL
ABOUT OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS
AND COMPLETELY CREATURE CRAZY.
IT'S
CREATURE MANIA.
TODAY WE'LL BE MEETING SOME
KOOKY, CREEPY
AND OUTRIGHT CRAZY ANIMALS.
COMING UP...

Clips show different types of animals as Alfie says +WE CHECK OUT THE COLOURFUL OX
PECKER, THE AMAZING ANTELOPE,
AND DISCOVER SOME SECRETS
ABOUT SHEEP.
WE HAVE A LAUGH WITH PANDA
AND PONY,
ENTER THE FROZEN WORLD
OF THE MYSTERIOUS ARCTIC FOX
AND MEET JAMES AND HIS COOL CAT
IN PET AND TELL.
PLUS, LOTS, LOTS MORE.
I CAN'T WAIT.
BUT FIRST ON THE LIST
IT'S TIME TO HEAD OVER TO SEE
DR. KATRINA
AND FIND OUT WHO SHE HAS COMING
ALONG TO DO SOME TRAINING.

A caption reads "Dog Tricks."

Doctor Katrina is in her thirties, with long straight brown hair and wears jeans and a hot pink Creature Mania T-shirt.

She sits on the grass with 4 brown and white dogs and says HI AND WELCOME TO DOG TRICKS.
I AM DR. KATRINA
AND THESE ARE THE WONDER DOGS
AND TODAY WE'RE GOING TO SHOW
YOU HOW TO TEACH YOUR DOG
TO SAY THEIR PRAYERS.
DART'S GOING TO DEMONSTRATE
THIS FOR US
SO LET'S LEARN A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT HER FIRST.

Dart sits on a bench.

Katrina says MEET DART.
SHE'S THREE YEARS OLD.
HER NICKNAME IS DARTY.
HER FAVOURITE TRICKS ARE PLAYING
QUOITS
AND DOING DOGA: THAT'S YOGA
FOR DOGS.
FAVOURITE HOBBIES: AGILITY
AND SWIMMING.
HER NAUGHTIEST DEED IS CHASING
THE KANGAROOS AT HER HOME.
HER OBSESSIONS: RUNNING
AND BEING CUDDLED.

Clips show the dog doing its favourite activities.

Katrina says HER FAVOURITE TREAT IS A DOB
OF YOGHURT
ON HER MORNING BREAKFAST.
THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE DART:
FUN, HAPPY AND SWEET.
AND NOW LET'S SEE DART
DEMONSTRATE IT.

A caption reads "Say your prayers."

Katrina says SAY YOUR PRAYERS IS A REALLY
SWEET TRICK.
YOUR DOG NEEDS TO BE ABLE
TO SIT CALMLY
AND BE COMFORTABLE OFFERING YOU
BOTH THEIR PAWS.
WELL THAT WAS OUR EXPERT
DEMONSTRATION.
NOW IT'S TIME TO MEET OUR
BUDDING YOUNG DOG TRAINER
AND THEIR DOG.
SO TODAY I AM HERE WITH JAYDEN
AND HIS GORGEOUS PUPPY MAGIC.
JAYDEN TELL ME A BIT ABOUT
MAGIC.

Katrina sits on a bench with Jayden and a gray and white dog with black spots.

Jayden is in his early teens, with short brown hair and wears jeans and a blue T-shirt.

Katrina says SHE'S PRETTY ENERGETIC.

Jayden says SHE IS QUITE SMART.
SHE'LL DO ANY TRICKS FOR ANYBODY
AND SHE IS EXCITING,
LOVING WITH OTHER DOGS
AND EVERYONE.

Katrina says HOW OLD IS SHE?

Jayden says SHE IS SIX MONTHS.

Katrina says AND WHAT BREED IS SHE?

Jayden says A COOLIE.

Katrina says WHAT'S THE BEST PART ABOUT
OWNING A DOG?

Jayden says WELL IT'S FUN TO TEACH THEM
TRICKS
AND ALSO TO HELP THEM
ENJOY LIFE.

Katrina says ARE YOU READY TO GO LEARN SOME
TRICKS?

Jayden says THAT'D BE GREAT.

Katrina says EXCELLENT.

I THINK SHE'S KEEN.
SHE IS VERY MOTIVATED BY FOOD
AREN'T YOU?
OH THANK YOU.
MAGIC IS VERY SWITCHED ON
AND SHE LOVES LEARNING
SO TODAY'S TRICK IS PRETTY CUTE.
WE'RE GOING TO TEACH HER TO SAY
HER PRAYERS.
NOW THERE IS A FEW STEPS
IN THIS TRICK.
THE FIRST ONE IS TO TEACH HER
TO SIT NICELY,
WHICH I KNOW I AM PRETTY
CONFIDENT SHE ALREADY DOES
BUT WE WANT HER TO SIT PRETTY
COMFORTABLY AND EVENLY.
SO CAN YOU CALL HER HERE?
HAVE YOU GOT A TREAT?
GET HER TO SIT AND REWARD HER
WHEN ALL FOUR FEET
ARE FIRMLY ON THE GROUND.
SO IF SHE LIFTS HER PAW
SHE DOESN'T GET A TREAT.
IF SHE IS SITTING NICELY
SHE GETS THE TREAT.
GOOD GIRL MAGIC.
SIT.
GOOD GIRL.
AND DON'T FORGET YOU CAN PRAISE
HER VERBALLY AS WELL.
WELL STEP ONE IS MASTERED.
WE'LL BE BACK SOON WITH STEP
NUMBER TWO.
YOU'RE A GOOD GIRL.

Back in the bamboo house, Alfie says YEAH.
I WONDER HOW THEY'LL DO WITH
LEARNING TO SAY PRAYERS?
SOUNDS A BIT TRICKY.
WE'LL FIND OUT A BIT LATER
IN THE SHOW
BUT FIRST IT'S TIME FOR
AN ANIMAL FACT.

The announcer says DID YOU KNOW... ..THE ANIMALS OF AFRICA
HAVE THEIR OWN
PERSONAL BEAUTY SALON THANKS
TO THE OX PECKER?
RHINOS, GIRAFFES, ELEPHANTS
AND EVEN THE LIONS CAN THANK
THIS EXPERT GROOMER FOR KEEPING
THEM FREE FROM TICKS, BUGS
AND PARASITES, ESPECIALLY FOR
ALL THOSE HARD TO REACH PLACES.
THESE BIRDY STYLISTS WILL MAKE
THEM ITCH FREE.
IT'S A YUMMY SNACK
FOR A HUNGRY OX PECKER.
AND A PERFECT ANIMAL
PARTNERSHIP.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says AND NOW MY CREATURE FRIENDS,
IT'S TIME TO MEET A FEW OTHER
PALS OF MINE.
THEY'RE BLABBY
AND THEY'RE GABBY,
THEY'RE LOQUACIOUS
AND THEY'RE MOUTHY.
WHO ELSE COULD I BE TALKING
ABOUT?
IT'S THE DUO THAT
NEVER STOPS TALKING.
IT'S...

A caption reads "Two Bobs."

Inside a hollow tree trunk, Wombat Bob 1 says EXCUSE ME BOB, YOU FIRST.
THAT WAS EASY.
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'VE LOST
WEIGHT BOB.

Wombat Bob 2 says I AM ON PALEO.

Wombat Bob 1 says PALEO.
WHAT'S THAT BOB?

Wombat Bob 2 says YOU EAT LIKE A CAVE WOMBAT BOB.

Wombat Bob 1 says WHAT DID THEY EAT?

Wombat Bob 2 says GRASS BOB, GRASS.

Wombat Bob 1 says GRASS?
I LOVE GRASS.
YEAH I AM A CAVE WOMBAT.

Wombat Bob 2 says WORD OF WARNING BOB,
PALEO CAN MAKE YOU GASSY.

Wombat Bob 1 says YOU'RE RIGHT BOB.
HERE COMES A FART NOW.

Wombat Bob 2 says NOT IN THE LOG BOB.

Wombat Bob 1 says OH IT'S COMING.

Wombat Bob 2 says NO OUTSIDE BOB.

Wombat Bob 1 says WOW, WOW.

Wombat Bob 2 says NO, NO.

Wombat Bob 1 says HERE IT IS.
OH HERE IT COMES.
NUP GONE AWAY.

Wombat Bob 2 says OH LUCKY
(FART SOUND)

Alfie says MORE FROM THEM LATER ON
IN THE SHOW
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO NOURISH
YOUR BRAIN
AND TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
THROW ON YOUR THINKING CAP,
IT'S TIME FOR A CREATURE QUIZ.

The announcer says WHICH OF THESE ANIMALS
CAN LIVE BOTH UNDERWATER
AND ON DRY LAND?
IS IT A
THE FEISTY FIDDLER CRAB?
B THE FLIP-FLOPPING JOLLY
MUDSKIPPER?
OR IS IT C THE SLIME BALL
HAGFISH?
EW.
IF YOU ANSWERED B,
YOU ARE CORRECT.
THE MUDSKIPPER LIVES BOTH
UNDERWATER AND ON LAND.
MUDSKIPPERS ARE FOUND
IN SUBTROPICAL, HUMID CLIMATES
AND USUALLY RESIDE IN MANGROVES,
LAGOONS AND TIDAL MUD FLATS.
BUT THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL
ABOUT THIS FISH.
IT WALKS ON LAND.
IN FACT THEY FIGHT, EAT,
AND COURT ON LAND.

A mudskipper says AHH.

Another mudskipper says AHH, AHH.

The announcer says MUDSKIPPERS COME ASHORE LOOKING
FOR INSECTS, WORMS
AND CRUSTACEANS
AND IT HAS A SERIES
OF UNIQUE ADAPTATIONS
TO HELP IT DO SO.
THE MUDSKIPPER HAS DEVELOPED
STRONG PECTORAL FINS THAT ENABLE
IT TO WALK,
EVEN GROWING A JOINT THAT WORKS
MUCH LIKE THE HUMAN ELBOW.
ITS POWERFUL MUSCULAR TAIL
CREATES A SKIPPING MOTION
WHILE ON LAND,
HENCE THE NAME SKIPPER.
THEIR BODIES ARE
SO STRONG THEY CAN FLIP
THEMSELVES INTO A JUMP UP
TO SIXTY CENTIMETRES HIGH.
THEIR EYES SIT ON TOP
OF THEIR HEADS,
ACTING LIKE A PERISCOPE
ON A SUBMARINE
AND IF THEY START TO DRY OUT
THE MUDSKIPPER JUST ROLLS
THEM DOWN INTO A WATER FILLED
POUCH UNDER ITS EYES,
KIND OF LIKE BLINKING.
AND THE SECRET TO THEIR SUCCESS?
STAYING SLIMY.
THE MUDSKIPPER MUST STAY WET
THROUGHOUT ITS VISIT TO LAND.
THEY COAT THEMSELVES WITH MUDDY
WATER TO ABSORB OXYGEN THROUGH
THEIR SKIN, MOUTH AND THROAT,
WHICH THEY CAN ONLY DO
WHILE WET.

Alfie says ALL RIGHT GUYS, STILL TO COME
ON TODAY'S SHOW.
WE HAVE MORE CANINE CRAZINESS
IN DOG TRICKS,
LOADS OF LAUGHS
WITH BAD PUN PONY,
AND A TRUCKLOAD
OF ANIMAL AMAZINGNESS
IN CREATURE QUIZ,
SOME ASTONISHING ANIMAL FACTS
AND WE MEET OUR PET AND GUEST
AND HERE IS SOME HILARITY
FROM THE TWO BOBS.
ALL THAT STILL TO COME
ON
CREATURE MANIA.

The announcer says DID YOU KNOW... ..THERE ARE 125 DIFFERENT
SPECIES OF ANTELOPES IN AFRICA?
ALMOST 95 PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S TOTAL.
THEIR BONY HORNS VARY IN SHAPE
AND SIZE AND UNLIKE DEER,
ANTELOPES DON'T REPLACE
THEIR HORNS ANNUALLY,
THEY GROW CONTINUOUSLY
THROUGHOUT THEIR ENTIRE LIFE.
ANTELOPES ARE HERBIVORES
AND MUST CONSTANTLY BE
ON THE LOOK OUT FOR PREDATORS.
LUCKILY THEY CAN USE THEIR SPEED
TO GIVE THEIR ENEMIES A RUN
FOR THEIR MONEY.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says I KNOW A DOG WHO WOULD PROBABLY
LOVE TO ROUND UP A HERD
OF ANTELOPES.
SHE'S A KOOLIE DOG CALLED MAGIC.
KOOLIES JUST LOVE HERDING
AND WORKING.
BUT MAGIC'S JOB TODAY IS TO
LEARN HOW TO SAY PRAYERS,
WHICH INVOLVES SITTING STILL,
SOMETHING SHE'S NOT AS GOOD AT.
LET'S SEE
HOW THEY'RE GETTING ON.
IT'S DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says WELCOME BACK.
I AM HERE WITH JAYDEN
AND HIS GORGEOUS DOG MAGIC.
WE HAVE MASTERED STEP NUMBER ONE
OF THE SAY YOUR PRAYERS TRICK.
DO YOU WANT TO GET HER TO SIT
FOR US?

Jayden says SIT.

Katrina says PERFECT.
WELL THAT'S A LITTLE BIT EASY.
I THINK WE CAN GO
A LITTLE BIT HARDER.
SO STEP NUMBER TWO IS TO GET HER
TO PLACE HER TWO PAWS
ON YOUR ARM.
NOW WHAT WE NEED,
CROUCH DOWN WITH ME.
WE WANT HER TO SIT,
NOT ON ME, WE WANT HER TO SIT,
GOOD GIRL AND WE WANT,
ASK HER TO SIT.
OH GOOD GIRL.
SHE JUST DID IT FOR US.
THERE YOU GO.

Jayden says SIT.

Katrina says OH PERFECT.
WHAT A STAR.
OKAY THEN GET HER TO HOLD
THAT POSITION.
SO DO ONE MORE AND THEN...
AND DON'T FORGET TO PRAISE HER
VERBALLY AS WELL.
TELL HER SHE IS A GOOD GIRL.

Jayden says GOOD GIRL.
SIT.

Katrina says SIT SO SHE IS BALANCED.
GOOD GIRL.
STEP TWO MASTERED.
YOU'RE A STAR.
YOU'RE A STAR.
HEY.

Alfie says AND NOW MY FRIENDS, TIME
FOR SOME CRACKING UP,
SOME CHUCKLES AND SOME CHORTLES
AND A BIT
OF HEE HEE HEE WITH OUR
FAVOURITE FUNNY HORSE.
GIVE IT UP FOR THE ONE
AND ONLY...

A caption reads "Bad Pun Pony."

A clip shows a brown pony galloping and neighing on a field.

Bad Pun Pony says WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOUR CAT
SWALLOWS YOUR PENCIL?
USE A PEN.

Ducks chuckle.

Bad Pun Pony says DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE FIVE
HUNDRED HARES THAT GOT LOSE
ON MAIN STREET?
THE POLICE HAD TO COMB
THE AREA.

A bunny chuckles.

Kids say BAD PUN PONY YAY.

Alfie says AND THERE WILL BE MORE PONY PUNS
ON THE NEXT SHOW, BUT NOW,
IT'S TIME FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE
BIT DIFFERENT.
LET'S STRETCH OUR BRAIN CELLS,
LET'S LEARN SOME STUFF
AND LET'S SEE SOME COOL ANIMALS.
SHALL WE?
IT'S CREATURE QUIZ.

The announcer says WHICH OF THESE ANIMALS
CAN DETECT THE BROADEST RANGE
OF SOUNDS?
IS IT A
THE BUMBLING BEE?
B THE CUNNING CHAMELEON?
OR C THE DASHING DOLPHIN?
IF YOU ANSWERED C,
YOU ARE CORRECT.
DOLPHINS HAVE A SUPER SENSE
OF HEARING THAT CAN DETECT
SOUNDS FAR BEYOND
HUMAN AUDIBLE RANGE.
DOLPHINS CAN MAKE A COMPLEX
SERIES OF CLICKS AND WHISTLES
IN AIR SACS BELOW THEIR
BLOWHOLE.
BUT THE VAST MAJORITY
OF THESE SOUNDS ARE TOO
HIGH-PITCHED FOR HUMANS TO HEAR.
IF YOU SWIM IN FRONT OF DOLPHINS
YOU CAN SOMETIMES
FEEL INTENSE VIBRATIONS
THROUGH YOUR BODY.
THAT'S BECAUSE EACH DOLPHIN
IS HITTING YOU WITH A HIGH
FREQUENCY PULSE OF ULTRASOUND.
BY LISTENING TO THE ECHOES
OF THESE SOUND WAVES DOLPHINS
CAN BUILD UP A PICTURE
OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM.
A DOLPHIN USES
A LARGE FATTY ORGAN
IN ITS FOREHEAD TO TRANSMIT
A BEAM OF THE ULTRASONIC PULSES,
MUCH LIKE A SUBMARINE
USES SONAR.
LIKE SONAR PINGS THE SOUND WAVES
WILL BOUNCE BACK OFF AN OBJECT.
IN THIS CASE A DIVER.
THE BEAUTY OF ULTRASOUND IS THAT
SOME OF THE ULTRASONIC WAVES
CAN PASS RIGHT THROUGH THE SKIN.
THE BEAM MAY THEN REFLECT BACK
OFF THE BONES
OR INTERNAL ORGANS, RESULTING
IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ECHOES.
SOME SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THAT
THESE ECHOES ARE PROCESSED
IN THE DOLPHIN'S BRAIN TO FORM
A 3D IMAGE OF THE OBJECT.
DOLPHINS HAVE ANOTHER USE
FOR THEIR ULTRASOUND.
IT'S CAPABLE OF DETECTING FISH
BURIED A METRE DEEP IN SAND.
THAT'S AN ABILITY THAT NOT EVEN
THE MOST ADVANCED
HUMAN SONAR SYSTEM CAN MATCH.
WAY TO GO FLIPPER.

Alfie says WHAT AMAZING CREATURES.
SO COOL.
ALL RIGHT CREATURE FANS STILL
TO COME ON TODAY'S SHOW:
AN AMAZING ANIMAL FACT,
WE MEET TODAY'S PET AND N TELL
GUESTS, IN THE HOUSE.
THERE'S AN ADORABLE ANIMAL
IN TOO CUTE,
PLUS SOME MUSINGS FROM OUR
FAVORITE BLACK AND WHITE BEAR
THE FANTASTIC PONDERING PANDA.
ALL THAT STILL TO COME
ON
CREATURE MANIA.

The announcer says DID YOU KNOW... ..THERE ARE OVER ONE
BILLION SHEEP IN THE WORLD?
AND THOSE SHEEP HAVE A FIELD
OF VISION OF AROUND 300 DEGREES,
WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO SEE BEHIND
THEMSELVES WITHOUT EVEN HAVING
TO TURN THEIR HEAD.
AND THE THINGS PEOPLE SAY ABOUT
SHEEP LACKING INTELLIGENCE
IS NOT EXACTLY TRUE.

A sheep says OH WISE GUY HUH?

The announcer says THEY HAVE EXCELLENT MEMORIES,
REMEMBERING AT LEAST FIFTY
INDIVIDUAL FACES FOR YEARS.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says TIME NOW MY CREATURE CRAZIES
TO CHANGE THINGS UP A BIT,
IT'S THE PART OF THE SHOW
I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO.
YOU GUESSED IT,
IT'S PET AND TELL,
BUT JUST BEFORE WE MEET THEM,
THERE'S THIS.

A clip shows a sheep sneezing.

((MUSIC PLAYS))

A caption reads "It’s Pet and Tell."

Alfie sits with a guest and a black cat and says INTRODUCING JAMES.
HE HAS BROUGHT IN HIS PET CAT
TO TELL US ALL ABOUT HIM.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW JAMES.

James is around 12, with short wavy blond hair and wears blue Bermuda shorts and a red T-shirt.

James says G'DAY ALFIE.

Alfie says HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

James says GREAT.

Alfie says AND WHO'S THIS?

James says THIS IS CLEO.

Alfie says OH CLEO.

Cleo says YEP.

Alfie says AND SHE'S A KITTEN?

James says A LITTLE BABY CAT.

Alfie says SO WHERE DID YOU GET CLEO FROM?

James says UMM WELL SHE CAME FROM
A RESCUE HOME.
SO THEY FOUND HER ON THE SIDE
OF THE STREET.
UMM SO SOME PEOPLE DECIDED
TO RESCUE HER
AND THEN SHE WAS AT THIS UMM BIG
RESCUE HOME AND MY MUM
WENT AND GRABBED UMM,
GRABBED HER
AS A SECRET PRESENT FOR ME.

Alfie says WOW.
SO HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD HER?

James says YEAH ABOUT A MONTH OR SO.

Alfie says ABOUT A MONTH?
WOW, NICE.
RESCUE CATS.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
THAT FERAL CATS
WILL NOT HAVE BEEN DE-SEXED.
SO MAKE SURE IF YOU ARE ADOPTING
A RESCUE KITTEN
YOU CONSULT YOUR VET
FOR FUTURE INFO.
ALMOST SIXTY THOUSAND CATS
A YEAR ARE TAKEN
INTO RESCUE SHELTERS.
RESCUE SHELTERS ARE A GREAT
PLACE TO GET A PET CAT.
IT'S GOOD FOR THE CAT
AND IT'S OFTEN CHEAPER.
IF NOT FREE.
RESCUE CATS.
MEOW.
SO SHE'S A BIT OF A STREET CAT?

James says YEAH STRAIGHT FROM THE HOOD
OF CATS.

Alfie says I LOVE THAT.

James says SO WHAT DO YOU DO
TO LOOK AFTER CLEO?

James says SO I FEED HER, I PLAY WITH HER
AND UMM I BRUSH HER.

Alfie says SO WOULD YOU RECOMMEND GETTING A
KITTEN TO OTHERS WHO ARE LOOKING
TO GET A CAT?

James says YEAH DEFINITELY BECAUSE THE
PROBLEM WITH A DOG IS YOU HAVE
TO WALK IT BUT WITH A CAT
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
AND SO IF IT HAS BEEN
A REALLY TOUGH DAY AT SCHOOL
YOU CAN WALK HOME
AND THEN YOU CAN SIT DOWN
AND WATCH YOUR TV AND YOU CAN
BELIKE YES FINALLY
BUT THE PROBLEM WITH A DOG IS
YOU WILL BE LIKE I DON'T WANT TO
GET UP.
I HAVE JUST HAD TO DO
MY FINALS EXAM.

Alfie says SO WITH A CAT YOU ARE LIKE SIT
AND WATCH TV
AND THE CAT IS LIKE OH I AM
GOING TO COME JOIN YOU.

James says YEAH.
I AM GOING TO CUDDLE UP.
WE CAN BE TV BUDDIES.

James says YEAH.
SO WOULD YOU CALL CLEO ONE
OF YOUR BEST NEW FRIENDS?

James says YEAH, DEFINITELY.

Alfie says YEAH?

James says YEAH.

Alfie says WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR COMING IN TODAY JAMES.

James says THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

Alfie says NO WORRIES AND THANK YOU
FOR BRINGING IN CLEO.

James says YAY.

Alfie says SHE IS SO CUTE.
THE PERFECT CAT FOR PET
AND TELL.
NOW THIS.

The announcer says THE ARCTIC: IT'S VAST, HARSH
AND FREEZING,
AND HOME TO SOME OF THE CUTEST
ANIMALS ON THE PLANET.
LIKE THE POLAR BEAR,
THE SEA OTTER,
AND THE PUFFIN, BUT ONE ANIMAL
IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED.
NO NOT YOU WALRUS YOU ARE
WEIRD LOOKING.
THE ARTIC FOX.
SHE TIPTOES ACROSS THE SNOW
LOOKING FOR FOOD
WITH HER BLACK BUTTON NOSE,
BUSHY TAIL.
AHH THE ARCTIC FOX
SHE'S JUST...

Kids say TOO CUTE.

Alfie says WHAT A GREAT PART OF THE SHOW.
WE'LL HAVE MORE OF THAT
NEXT TIME.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO NOURISH
YOUR BRAIN
AND TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
ARE YOU READY?
IT'S CREATURE QUIZ.

The announcer says WHICH OF THESE ANIMALS
IS THREE TIMES QUICKER
THAN THE FASTEST HUMAN?
IS IT A THE CHEETAH?
B THE SNOW LEOPARD?
OR C THE RACCOON?
IF YOU ANSWERED A THE CHEETAH,
YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF BECAUSE
YOU'RE CORRECT.
THE CHEETAH REALLY IS A HIGH
PERFORMANCE RACING MACHINE.
IT'S THREE TIMES FASTER THAN
THE BEST HUMAN SPRINTERS
ON THE PLANET.

A clip shows a cheetah chasing a deer.

The announcer says WHOA.
LET'S SEE THAT AGAIN.
IN FACT, THE CHEETAH'S
SPECIFICATIONS ARE MORE LIKE
THAT OF A RACING CAR
THAN A TRACK STAR.
IT CAN GO FROM ZERO
TO SEVENTY MILES PER HOUR
IN FOUR SECONDS.

The deer says NO WAY, I'M OUTTA HERE.
RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT.

The announcer says IT'S THE CHEETAH'S ADVANCED
ENGINEERING THAT GIVES IT
THE EDGE.
ITS ENGINE IS POWERED BY
AN ENLARGED HEART AND LUNGS
AND AIR-COOLED BY THE LARGEST
NOSTRILS IN THE CAT FAMILY.
ITS CHASSIS IS LIGHTWEIGHT
AND FLEXIBLE TO ENSURE
THE GREATEST STRIDE LENGTH
POSSIBLE.
AND CHEETAHS ARE THE ONLY CATS
THAT ALWAYS HAVE THEIR CLAWS
FULLY EXTENDED.
THAT'S BECAUSE THEY NEED ALL THE
TRACTION THEY CAN GET
AS THEY RACE FOR FOOD.
((MUSIC PLAYS))

The announcer says SPEEDING, TURNING, CHASING,
ACCELERATING.
THE CHEETAH IS A SPRINTER,
NOT A LONG DISTANCE RUNNER.

The deer says OH QUICK, HERE SHE COMES AGAIN.

The announcer says BUT PAIRS AGILITY WITH SPEED
FOR DEADLY ATTACK RUNS.
WHEN YOU CUT TO THE CHASE,
CHEETAHS REALLY ARE BUILT
FOR SPEED.

A cheetah licks another cheetah’s mouth and says OOO, TASTY.

A caption reads "Two Bobs."

Dung Beetle Bob says MORNING BOB.

Orangutan Bob says MORNING BOB.
HEY THAT DUNG LOOKS ORANG-UTAN.

Dung Beetle Bob says IT IS BOB.
I FOUND IT UNDER YOUR TREE.

Orangutan Bob says UMM THAT'S A LITTLE
PERSONAL BOB.

Dung Beetle Bob says FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH BOB THIS IS
QUALITY DUNG YOU DO HERE.

Orangutan Bob says THANKS BOB.

Dung Beetle Bob says YEAH BUT UMM...

Orangutan Bob says BUT?

Dung Beetle Bob says WELL IT'S NOTHING REALLY BUT
YOU HAVE GOT TO EAT
MORE FIBRE MATE.

Orangutan Bob says OH WELL SORRY MY DUNG
DOESN'T MEET
WITH YOUR DELICATE NEEDS BOB.
WHERE ARE YOU TAKING THAT POO
ANYWAY BOB?

Dung Beetle Bob says THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION.

Alfie says AHH, THOSE BOBS ARE BRILLIANT.
WELL CREATURE MANIACS,
WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE
STILL TO COME ON THE SHOW:
WE GOT ANOTHER INCREDIBLE
ANIMAL FACT,
SOME FASCINATING PONDERING
FROM OUR ROLY-POLY PAL THE ONE,
THE ONLY PONDERING PANDA.
AND TODAY'S FINAL VISIT
TO DR. KATRINA FOR STEP 3
IN DOG TRICKS.
SO, ALL THAT STILL TO COME
RIGHT HERE ON
CREATURE MANIA.

The announcer says DID YOU KNOW... ..THE ALEXANDRINE PARROTS ARE
REGARDED AS MASTERS OF MIMICRY

A parrot says HEY BABY.

The announcer says AND MADE INTO HOUSEHOLD PETS
FOR CENTURIES?
THESE MAJESTIC BIRDS NEED TO BE
STIMULATED TO ENSURE THEY ARE
CONSTANTLY BEING CHALLENGED.

The parrot pecks on a toilet paper tube and says OH MAN.

The announcer says BECAUSE THESE CLEVER BIRDS
ARE KNOWN
FOR THEIR DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR
IF BORED OR UNSUPERVISED.
AND THOSE BEAKS CAN DO A LOT
OF DAMAGE.
IF AN ALEXANDRINE IS GIVEN
PROPER VET CARE
AND A HEALTHY DIET IT CAN HAVE
A LONG LIFESPAN
OF UP TO TWENTY TO THIRTY YEARS.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says ALRIGHT CREATURE CRAZIES,
TIME TO GET A BIT PHILOSOPHICAL
WITH A BEAR WHO LIKES TO
REFLECT, AND MUSE ABOUT OBSCURE,
WONDERFUL AND SOMETIMES
ODD THINGS.
YES IT'S OUR FAVOURITE
BAMBOO-EATING,
ROLY-POLY PONDERING PANDA.

A kid says THE PANDA THAT LIKES TO PONDER.

A panda lying on its back says DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT DREAMS,
LIKE MAYBE EVERYTHING
IS A DREAM?
BUT THEN WHO'S DREAMING
THE DREAM?
LIKE AM I A PANDA HAVING
A PANDA DREAM
OR AM I A PANDA IN SOMEONE
ELSE'S DREAM
OR MAYBE I'M NOT EVEN A PANDA
AT ALL.
MAYBE I'M A GIRAFFE DREAMING
I'M A PANDA.
IT'S ALL VERY CONFUSING.
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST DREAM
ON IT.

Alfie says TIME TO CHECK IN WITH
DR. KATRINA IN STEP THREE
OF SAY PRAYERS.
WILL MAGIC THE INCREDIBLE KOOLIE
DOG MASTER IT?
LET'S SEE.
IT'S DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says JAYDEN AND MAGIC HAVE DONE
A FANTASTIC JOB SO FAR.
THEY'VE MASTERED THE FIRST
TWO STEPS, WHICH IS TO SIT
AND TO GET MAGIC TO PUT HER TWO
PAWS UP ON JAYDEN'S ARMS.
NOW JAYDEN'S PRETTY CONFIDENT.
I THINK THAT YOU ARE QUITE
CAPABLE OF DOING THE THIRD STEP
ON YOUR OWN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
AND WHAT THAT IS IS BASICALLY
GETTING HER HEAD TO GO DOWN
BETWEEN HER TWO PAWS AND THAT
WILL BE SAYING HER PRAYERS.
OKAY, ARE YOU READY
TO GIVE IT A GO?
YOU WERE VERY CONFIDENT
WITH HER TRAINING.
DO YOU WANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN
DO IT STRAIGHT AWAY?
SO GET HER TO SIT.

Jayden says SIT.
SIT.

Katrina says AND REWARD HER WHEN SHE HAS GOT
FOUR PAWS ON THE GROUND.
THAT'S IT.
GOOD GIRL.
NOW KEEP YOUR ARM OUT NICE
AND LOW.
KEEP IT LOW.
THAT'S IT.
REWARD HER.
NOW MAKE SURE
TO KEEP HER ARM LOW.
AND NOW GUIDE IT UNDER.
PERFECT.
WELL DONE.
THAT WAS JUST FANTASTIC AND THAT
IS SAYING YOUR PRAYERS
AS A TRICK.
I MUST REMIND YOU ALL THAT IF
YOU ARE TEACHING TRICKS
OR DOING DOG TRAINING AT HOME
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS HAVE
PARENTAL SUPERVISION.
THAT'S IT FOR DOG TRICKS TODAY.
JOIN US NEXT TIME FOR MORE.

Alfie says WELL, THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TIME
FOR TODAY'S CREATURE FANS.
IT'S BEEN A BUSY SHOW.
JAYDEN AND MAGIC AND JAMES
AND HIS KITTEN.
AAH, SO CUTE.
NOT TO MENTION THOSE INCREDIBLE
DOLPHINS.
I'VE HAD A BLAST,
I HOPE YOU HAVE TOO.
AND REMEMBER ANIMALS ARE AWESOME
AND PETS ARE PALS.
JOIN ME, ALFIE, NEXT TIME ON
CREATURE MANIA.
