Transcript: Why don't we have tails?
(Upbeat music plays)
Three-eyed Aazoo, an animated orange alien sits beside Blynk, a one eyed green alien, who pilots a spaceship past meteoroids in space. A girl wears her black hair pulled away from her face. She wears a pink blouse and smiles as she waves. Blynk and Aazoo have fun with different experiments in their spaceship.
A singer sings, BLYNK AND AAZOO,
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
Blynk and Aazoo wave beside text that reads, Blynk and Aazoo. Ask, Explore, Discover!
Blynk sighs peacefully at a desk in the spaceship. Behind Blynk, Aazoo races past in a chair with wheels. Aazoo yells excitedly while spinning in the chair.
Blynk says, HUH?
Blynk’s eye closes. Aazoo races by in the other direction.
Aazoo says, WOO HOO!
Blynk lets out an annoyed grunt. Aazoo giggles. Blynk tenses.
Blynk says, AAZOO!
Aazoo rolls to a stop beside Blynk. The two alien friends jump out of their chairs. Aazoo’s eyes cross. Aazoo stumbles. Aazoo squeals and falls on Blynk. Blynk groans.
M.A.V.I.S, a computer, says, BLYNK, YOUR YOGA IS
IMPROVING.
Blynk tries to push Aazoo off.
Blynk says, AAZOO!
Blynk knocks Aazoo off and frowns. Aazoo’s eyes spin. When they stop, Aazoo looks at Blynk. The friends laugh.
(Foghorn blowing)
M.A.V.I.S says, INCOMING INQUIRY,
INQUIRY, WHO'S TRANSMITTING?
Blynk and Aazoo grin. They look excited. With excited cheers they get up and run to two screens on a wall. A girl with curly black hair who wears a grey shirt appears on one of the screens, waving.
She says, HI BLYNK AND AAZOO, IT'S ME,
KYLA.
Blynk and Aazoo wave. Text reads, Kyla.
Kyla says, AND MY QUESTION IS WHY
DON'T WE HAVE TAILS?
Blynk and Aazoo gasp. They look behind them. Kyla giggles. Aazoo spins on the spit trying to get a better look. Aazoo squeals and runs in circles.
M.A.V.I.S says, IT SEEMS BLYNK AND
AAZOO…
Aazoo knocks into Blynk and they fall.
M.A.V.I.S says, …ARE CHASING AN ANSWER.
Kyla laughs and smiles.
M.A.V.I.S says, INTERSTELLAR SCIENCE
COUNCIL CALLING, CAPTAIN.
(Trumpet flourish)
A man with black hair who wears a brown plaid shirt appears on the second screen beside Kyla.
He says, HI EVERYONE, AARON HERE.
Text reads, Aaron, Scientist.
Aaron says, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, KYLA.
Kyla nods.
Aaron says, YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO KNOW
THAT WE ACTUALLY USED TO HAVE
TAILS.
Kyla furrows her brow.
She says, REALLY?
Blynk and Aazoo’s jaws drop.
Blynk says, WAA?
Aaron says, BLYNK BRING UP THE HUMAN FILES
PLEASE.
SUBCATEGORY, THE TALE OF A TAIL.
Blynk works on a screen where text reads, Human Files, The Tale of a Tail.
Aaron says, HUMANS HAVE A TAIL-LIKE
STRUCTURE
WHEN THEY'RE ABOUT 30 DAYS
OLD IN THE MOTHER'S WOMB.
M.A.V.I.S says, THIS STRUCTURE
IS EVENTUALLY ABSORBED
INTO THE BODY AND BECOMES
THE COCCYX OR TAIL BONE.
An arrow points to the tail bone of a person’s skeleton. Text reads, Coccyx.
Aaron says, OUR ANCESTORS HAD TAILS,
BUT OVER MILLIONS OF
YEARS AS HUMANS EVOLVED
AND ADAPTED TO THE WORLD,
WE NO LONGER NEEDED THEM.
Kyla asks, WHY NOT?
Aaron says, WELL, TAILS HELP
YOU KEEP YOUR BALANCE
IF YOU WALK ON YOUR HANDS AND
SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN TREES.
A monkey climbs up a tree. People walk on a busy street.
Aaron says, BUT HUMANS NOW WALK ON TWO FEET
AND WE LIKE TO STAY ON FLAT
GROUND.
Kyla says, IT WOULD BE COOL
TO HAVE A TAIL THOUGH.
THEN I COULD TRAVEL THROUGH
THE TREES LIKE ANIMALS DO.
Aaron says, THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!
IF YOU DID HAVE A TAIL,
YOU'D BE ABLE TO DO LOTS
OF OTHER THINGS TOO.
Kyla asks, LIKE WHAT?
Aaron says, BLYNK, ANIMAL FILES
PLEASE.
SUBCATEGORY, TAILORED TAILS.
Blynk pulls up a file. Text reads, Animal Files, Tailored Tails. A video of a leopard running plays.
Aaron says, ANIMALS USE THEIR TAILS
IN LOTS OF AMAZING WAYS.
M.A.V.I.S says, SOME COMMON USES OF A
TAIL
ARE BALANCE AND LOCOMOTION.
Text over a school of fish reads, Locomotion.
M.A.V.I.S says, THE ABILITY TO MOVE AROUND.
Kyla says, SO THEIR TAIL HELPS THEM
BALANCE.
A cat walks across a fence.
Aaron says, YOU GOT IT.
AND WHALES AND FISH USE
THEIR TAILS FOR PROPULSION
OR PUSHING THEMSELVES FORWARD.
Text over a whale’s tail reads, Propulsion. A kangaroo jumps.
Kyla says, A KANGAROO, THEY HAVE BIG
TAILS.
Aaron says, KANGAROOS ARE KNOWN
FOR BEING EXPERT JUMPERS,
BUT HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED HOW
THEY WALK?
A kangaroo walks with its tail between its back legs.
Kyla says, HEY, IT'S USING ITS
TAIL LIKE AN EXTRA LEG.
Aaron says, THAT'S RIGHT, KANGAROOS
ACTUALLY USED THEIR TAIL
TO PUSH THEMSELVES FORWARD.
M.A.V.I.S says, A KANGAROO TAIL
IS STRONGER THAN ALL FOUR
OF ITS LEGS COMBINED.
Kyla says, THAT'S SO COOL.
Aaron nods, grinning.
Kyla says, SO TAILS ARE HANDY FOR GETTING
AROUND.
Aaron says, THEY'RE ALSO HANDY AS AN EXTRA
HAND.
M.A.V.I.S says, PREHENSILE TAILS
ARE CAPABLE OF GRASPING OBJECTS.
A monkey climbs in a tree. Text reads, Prehensile Tails.
Kyla says, HEY, THAT IS LIKE
HAVING AN EXTRA HAND.
Aaron says, AND MONKEYS AREN'T THE
ONLY ONES
WITH THIS ABILITY.
M.A.V.I.S says, OTHER ANIMALS
WITH PREHENSILE TAILS
INCLUDE THE OPOSSUM, THE
PANGOLIN, AND SEAHORSE.
Pictures of the different animals using their tails are displayed.
Kyla says, A SEAHORSE?
Aaron says, YEP.
THEY USE THEIR TAILS IN MOVING
WATER
TO KEEP THEMSELVES IN
ONE SPOT WHILE THEY EAT.
A seahorses’ tail is wrapped around seagrass. A beaver swims. Text reads, beaver.
Aaron says, BEAVERS SLAP THEIR TAILS TO WARN
OTHERS
WHEN THEY SENSE A THREAT.
The beaver slaps its tail on the water.
Kyla says, A DANGER ALERT SIGNAL?
THAT'S SO NEAT.
Aaron says, TAILS CAN ALSO BE USED FOR
ATTACKING.
Blynk says, NEE AH.
Blynk types on a keyboard. Another animal is displayed with text that reads, Scorpion.
M.A.V.I.S says, THE TAIL OF A
SCORPION
IS TIPPED WITH A POISONED
STINGER.
An arrow points to the scorpion’s stinger.
Aaron says, SCORPIONS USE THEIR
TAILS TO HUNT OTHER INSECTS
OR TO FEND OFF ANY THREATS.
Two scorpions fight.
Blynk and Aazoo let out startled gasps. Aazoo runs.
Aazoo says, BLYNK!
Blynk says, HUH?
Aazoo pops out from behind Blynk.
Blynk says, HMM?
Blynk spots Aazoo. Aazoo smiles. Blynk frowns.
Kyla says, I'M DEFINITELY RUNNING
AWAY FROM THAT TAIL.
Aaron says, SPEAKING OF RUNNING
AWAY, AS A LAST RESORT,
SOME LIZARDS CAN DETACH THEIR
TAILS
TO ESCAPE FROM ATTACKERS.
A lizard is missing its tail.
Blynk says, HMM.
M.A.V.I.S says, THIS IS CALLED
CASTING.
A lizard’s tail twitches near a cats paw. Text reads, Casting.
M.A.V.I.S says, A TAIL THAT IS CAST
CAN CONTINUE MOVING FOR UP TO 30
MINUTES.
The cat swats at the lizard’s tail. Blynk and Aazoo let out worried squeaks.
Aaron says, DON'T WORRY, WHENEVER THIS
HAPPENS,
THE TAIL DOES GROW BACK AGAIN.
Kyla says, TAILS ARE SO AMAZING.
MAYBE HUMANS SHOULD'VE KEPT THEM
TOO.
Aaron says, THAT'S WHAT MAKES US SO SPECIAL.
HUMANS CAN DO LOTS OF
AMAZING THINGS WITHOUT TAILS.
BLYNK, THE HUMAN FILES PLEASE.
SUBCATEGORY, BALANCING ACT.
On Blynk’s screen, text read, Human Files, Balancing Act. A video plays of people walking across a fallen log with their arms out.
Aaron says, WE TALKED ABOUT BALANCE EARLIER.
HUMANS MIGHT NOT HAVE TAILS
BUT WE'VE LEARNED TO BALANCE
REALLY WELL
USING OTHER PARTS OF OUR BODY
INSTEAD.
A man balances his head on top of another man’s head.
Kyla says, RIGHT, LIKE OUR ARMS.
Aaron says, EXACTLY.
DIFFERENT PARTS OF YOUR BODY
LIKE YOUR MUSCLES, JOINTS AND
SKIN,
SEND SIGNALS TO YOUR BRAIN SO
YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR BODY IS
WHEN YOU MOVE AROUND.
M.A.V.I.S says, THIS ABILITY
IS CALLED PROPRIOCEPTION.
A person does a flip on a trampoline. Text reads, Proprioception.
Aaron says, AND THERE'S ONE
VERY SPECIAL BODY PART
THAT'S SUPER IMPORTANT FOR
BALANCE.
Aaron points to his ear.
Kyla asks, EARS?
Aaron nods.
M.A.V.I.S says, AFFIRMATIVE.
PARTS OF YOUR INNER EAR
MAKE THE VESTIBULAR SYSTEM.
In an animation, an arrow points to a part of the inner ear with text that reads, Vestibular System.
Aaron says, THE VESTIBULAR SYSTEM
IS WHAT HELPS YOU KEEP YOUR
BALANCE
AND TELLS YOUR BRAIN
WHICH WAY IS UP OR DOWN.
Kyla says, AND WE CAN DO ALL OF
THAT WITHOUT NEEDING A TAIL.
WOW, A HUMAN BODY IS AMAZING.
Blynk says, AH HA!
M.A.V.I.S says, INSPIRATION DETECTED.
INVENTION STATION IS READY,
CAPTAIN.
(Funky music plays)
In the spaceships invention station, Blynk runs up to a large lever giggling. Blynk jumps and pulls down on the lever. A machine turns on. Mechanical arms weld an item together. A device that looks like a helmet with a tail rolls out on a conveyer belt. Blynk grabs the device and rolls up to Aazoo on a chair with wheels.
Blynk says, AH HA!
Aazoo looks excited. Aazoo takes Blynk’s place on the chair. Blynk places the helmet device on Aazoo. Blynk spins Aazoo on the chair.
Aazoo says, WOAH!
Aazoo squeals. Blynk giggles. The chair stops spinning and Aazoo stands. Aazoo walks in a straight line, smiles, and poses.
Kyla says, WOW, AAZOO DIDN'T GET DIZZY!
M.A.V.I.S says, IT SEEMS BLYNK HAS INVENTED
A SPECIAL BALANCING DEVICE.
Blynk looks proud.
Blynk says, EYE EEH.
Aazoo spins on the helmet.
Aazoo cheers, WOO HOO!
Aazoo balances on the chairs back and squeals excitedly. Sparks fly from the helmet. Aazoo looks worried and tries to take the helmet off.
Blynk says, AAZOO?
Aazoo’s legs wobble.
Blynk looks worried.
Blynk says, HUH?
Aazoo starts to dance uncontrollably. Aazoo scared and looks to Blynk.
M.A.V.I.S says, INVENTION REPORT.
BALANCING DEVICE, UNSUCCESSFUL.
RANDOM SHOCK DANCE GENERATOR,
SUCCESSFUL.
Blynk taps the helmet. Aazoo starts to spin. Blynk gets caught in the spinning. The alien friends yell as they spin around the spaceship. Kyla and Aaron grin.
Aaron says, WELL BLYNK, THERE'S OFTEN WAY
MORE FAILURES THAN SUCCESSES
WHEN YOU'RE INVENTING, DON'T
GIVE UP.
Kyla says, HOPE IT ALL BALANCES OUT FOR
YOU, BLYNK.
Blynk and Aazoo’s spinning briefly pauses.
They say, SEE YA.
They wave. Kyla and Aaron smile and wave. Blynk and Aazoo begin spinning again. They yell.
M.A.V.I.S says, THE QUEST
FOR ANSWERS CONTINUES.
ALL SYSTEMS ENGAGED.
