Transcript: Do wild animals go to school?
(Upbeat music)
Animated aliens move around a spaceship. Real-life children wave from screens.
Singing, BLYNK AND AAZOO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU
A title reads: Blynk & Aazoo. Ask, Explore, Discover!
A diamond-shaped spaceship floats above a blue planet.
(Speaking gibberish)
Aazoo, a tall orange alien with three eyes. arranges flowers in a vase while Blynk types on a control panel. Blynk is a spiky-haired green alien.
M.A.V.I.S says, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ARRANGEMENT. AAZOO, YOU REALLY ROSE TO THE CHALLENGE. BUT AAZOO, ARE YOU NOT ALLERGIC TO SUNFLOWERS?
(Speaking gibberish)
Aazoo sneezes and knocks the flowers over. They land on Blynk.
Blynk says, AAZOO!
M.A.V.I.S says, AN INSTANT CLASSIC, WE SHALL CALL IT SUNFLOWERS BY VINCENT VAN BLYNK.
(Foghorn sound)
M.A.V.I.S says, INCOMING INQUIRY. INQUIRY BOOTH TRANSMITTING.
Blynk and Aazoo run to a room with two large screens. A child with brown hair and glasses appears on one screen.
The brown-haired child says, HI, BLYNK AND AAZOO, IT'S ME KIKI.
Blynk and Aazoo say, HELLO!
Kiki says, AND MY QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOUNG ANIMALS LEARN?
Blynk and Aazoo confer, then shrug.
M.A.V.I.S says, LOOKS LIKE BLYNK AND AAZOO DIDN'T DO THEIR HOMEWORK ON THIS ONE. INTERSTELLAR SCIENCE COUNCIL CALLING, CAPTAIN.
A person with black hair and ball cap appears on the other screen.
Text reads, Anthony, Scientist
Anthony says, WELL, HELLO EVERYONE. ANTHONY HERE. HOW ANIMALS LEARN? NOW, THIS IS A FAVOURITE TOPIC OF MINE. BLYNK, ANIMAL FILES, PLEASE. SUBCATEGORY: PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
Blynk types.
A video shows a polar bear with two cubs.
Anthony narrates, IN THE ANIMAL WORLD, THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF SKILLS AN ANIMAL NEEDS TO LEARN IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.
Other animals with babies are shown.
M.A.V.I.S says, AFFIRMATIVE. ANIMALS MUST KNOW HOW TO GET FOOD, HOW TO BUILD A HOME, HOW TO WALK OR FLY, HOW TO GROOM THEMSELVES, HOW TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.
Anthony says, SOME OF IT, THEY'RE BORN KNOWING BUT FOR A LOT OF OTHER SKILLS, YOU COULD SAY THEY HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN.
Kiki says, SCHOOL? ANIMALS DON'T GO TO SCHOOL.
M.A.V.I.S says, UNLESS YOU ARE A FISH OF COURSE, GET IT? FISH, SCHOOL, HAHA.
(Blynk and Aazoo groan)
Anthony says, OKAY, MAYBE HOME SCHOOLING IS A BETTER WAY OF DESCRIBING IT BECAUSE FOR A LOT OF ANIMALS, THEY LEARN BY WATCHING AND COPYING THEIR PARENTS.
Kiki says, LIKE AT HOME, MY MOM LETS ME WATCH HER COOK AND THEN I TRY.
Anthony says, EXACTLY, ORANGUTAN MOMS TEACH THEIR KIDS ABOUT FOOD TOO.
An orangutan moves through the trees with a baby clinging to her.
M.A.V.I.S says, AFFIRMATIVE, ORANGUTAN MOTHERS TEACH THEIR YOUNG WHERE TO FIND FOOD, WHAT TO EAT AND HOW TO EAT IT.
Anthony says, THEY ALSO TEACH THEIR YOUNG HOW TO MAKE A BED IN THE TREES.
Kiki says, WHOA, THAT WOULD BE DIFFICULT.
M.A.V.I.S says, YOUNG ORANGUTANS START PRACTICING WHEN THEY'RE ABOUT SIX MONTHS OLD, BUT IT CAN TAKE THEM THREE OR FOUR YEARS TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE A REALLY GOOD BED.
Kiki asks, SO, WHAT ELSE DO ANIMALS TEACH THEIR BABIES?
Anthony says, WELL, SEALS AND SEA LIONS CATCH FISH, BUT DON'T KILL THEM, SO THAT THEIR YOUNG CAN PRACTICE GRABBING AND EATING THEIR SLIPPERY PREY.
Kiki says, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
(Blynk alien sounds)
Anthony says, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, BABY ELEPHANTS WATCH THEIR MOM TO LEARN HOW TO USE THEIR TRUNKS.
Kiki asks, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THEIR TRUNKS?
A video shows elephants standing in shallow water.
M.A.V.I.S says, AFFIRMATIVE, ELEPHANTS HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO CONTROL THEIR TRUNKS FOR FEEDING, COOLING DOWN AND DRINKING.
Anthony says, BUT YOUNG ELEPHANTS OFTEN SUCK ON THEM, THEY SWING THEM AROUND RANDOMLY AND SOMETIMES THEY EVEN ACCIDENTALLY STEP ON THEM.
Kiki says, WOW, THERE'S A LOT OF HOME SCHOOLING GOING ON IN THE ANIMAL WORLD.
Anthony says, YEAH, AND HEY, DID YOU KNOW THAT SOME ANIMALS LEARN TO MAKE THEIR OWN TOOLS?
Kiki asks, ANIMALS MAKE TOOLS?
Anthony says, PRETTY COOL, RIGHT? BLYNK, ANIMAL FILES, PLEASE. SUBCATEGORY: HAMMER TIME!
A video shows a crow perched on a stick.
Anthony narrates, THE NEW CALEDONIAN CROWS ARE FAMOUS FOR TURNING TWIGS INTO SPEARS AND HOOKS AND THEN USING THEM TO HELP EAT GRUBS. AND THERE'S MORE. RECENT STUDIES HAVE SHOWN CHIMPANZEES MAKE TRAPS TO CATCH TERMITES FOR A SNACK AND SOME DOLPHINS PROTECT THEIR NOSES WITH SPONGES WHEN THEY SEARCH FOR FISH HIDING IN THE SEA BOTTOM.
Blynk and Aazoo say, OH.
Kiki says, WOW, ANIMALS ARE SO SMART.
Anthony says, JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT THEY'VE LEARNED TO DO WHEN HUMANS TAKE OVER PART OF THEIR LIVING SPACE. BLYNK.
Blynk types.
(Music playing)
Anthony says, AS CITIES CONTINUE TO GROW, WILD ANIMALS LIVING IN THEM HAVE LEARNT TO ADAPT BY DEVELOPING NEW SKILLS.
Kiki says, I DO SEE LOTS OF ANIMALS IN MY CITY, ESPECIALLY RACCOONS.
M.A.V.I.S says, LOCATION DETECTED. TORONTO, CANADA.
The video shows raccoons standing on the ground.
Anthony says, KIKI, YOUR HOMETOWN OF TORONTO IS ACTUALLY KNOWN AS THE RACCOON CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.
Kiki says, NO WONDER I SEE THEM ALL THE TIME.
Anthony says, RESEARCHERS HAVE DISCOVERED THAT CITY RACCOONS HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO OPEN LOCKED GARBAGE CANS TO GET FOOD.
Kiki says, SO CLEVER.
(Aliens laugh)
Anthony narrates, TO HELP ANIMALS STAY SAFE AROUND HIGHWAYS, BANFF NATIONAL PARK IN CANADA HAS CREATED 44 CROSSINGS THAT ANIMALS USE TO GO UNDER AND OVER THESE BUSY ROADS.
Kiki says, OH, THAT'S GOOD.
Anthony says, IT IS, 11 SPECIES INCLUDING BEARS, WOLVES, COUGARS, AND EVEN MOOSE HAVE USED THEM.
M.A.V.I.S says, PERFECT FOR ALL THOSE MOOSE ON THE LOOSE.
(Kiki laughs)
Blynk says, OOOH!
M.A.V.I.S says, INSPIRATION DETECTED, INVENTION STATION IS READY CAPTAIN.
(Music playing)
Blynk runs to a room filled with machinery and pulls a big lever. Gears turn.
(Machine whirring)
Blynk drops liquid from an eyedropper. Robot arms construct a device.
Blynk is dressed in an orange and yellow safety vest. Blynk holds a red sign.
Kiki asks, BLYNK, IS THAT TO HELP ANIMALS CROSS THE ROAD?
Blynk says, M.A.V.I.S.
Lights dim. Blynk presses a button and the vest glows brightly.
(Alien chatter)
(Lighthearted music)
Kiki says, FOR NIGHTTIME, GREAT IDEA BLYNK.
M.A.V.I.S says, IMPRESSIVE, BLYNK'S GLOW WILL SIGNAL WHEN THE ANIMALS CAN GO.
Anthony says, VERY COOL BLYNK, YOU'RE REALLY LIGHTING UP THE ROOM.
Aazoo takes the signs and presses buttons on it.
(Buttons beeping)
The sign sends out beams of light. Aazoo dances.
Kiki says, says, LOOKS LIKE AAZOO HAS A DIFFERENT IDEA, DANCE PARTY.
Aazoo dances.
Kiki says, THANKS EVERYONE. I THINK I'M GOING TO GO TEACH MY DOG A FEW THINGS.
Anthony says, IT WAS OUR PLEASURE, HAVE FUN KIKI AND HAPPY DANCING BLYNK AND AAZOO.
Everyone waves.
M.A.V.I.S says, THE QUEST FOR ANSWERS CONTINUES, ALL SYSTEMS ENGAGED.
(Upbeat music)
