(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 song 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.

He says HEY, HEY CREATURE MANIACS
WELCOME TO THE SHOW THAT'S ALL
ABOUT OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS
AND COMPLETELY
CREATURE CRAZY.
IT'S CREATURE MANIA.
ON TODAY'S EPISODE WE'VE GOT
SOME ANIMAL FACTS
THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MONKEY MIND.
[ALFIE] WE GO LARGE WITH ONE OF
THE WORLD'S BIGGEST ANIMALS
THE SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALE,
GO NUTS WITH SQUIRRELS
AND HANG OUT WITH A DEER
WITH SOME GIGANTIC ANTLERS,
THE CARIBOU.
WE HAVE A LAUGH WITH
PANDA AND PONY
AND MEET MADISON AND HER
FANTASTIC FIGHTING FISH
IN PET AND TELL.

Clips show different types of animals as Alfie says PLUS, LOTS, LOTS MORE.
SO LET'S KICK IT OFF BY
CHECKING IN WITH DR. KATRINA
AND THOSE AMAZING
WONDER DOGS
AS SHE HELPS A KEEN YOUNG DOG
TRAINER IN DOG TRICKS.

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.
Sitting on the grass next to several dogs, Katrina says HI AND WELCOME TO DOG TRICKS.
I'M DR. KATRINA AND THESE ARE
THE VERY TALENTED WONDER DOGS.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU
HOW TO TEACH YOUR DOG TO COME
WHEN THEY'RE CALLED.
AND SKETCH IS GOING TO
DEMONSTRATE THIS FOR US.
LET'S LEARN A BIT
ABOUT HER FIRST.
MEET SKETCH,
SHE'S SEVEN YEARS OLD.
SHE'S KNOWN FOR HAVING
AN UNUSUAL COAT COLOUR
AND DIFFERENT COLOURED EYES.
HER NICKNAMES ARE
SKITS AND SKIDDITCH.

Clips show the dog doing its tricks.

She continues SKETCH IS THE FREE SPIRIT
OF THE WONDER DOG TEAM
SHE'S SOMETIMES NAUGHTY AND
HAS LOTS OF CHARACTER.
HER HOBBIES, WELL
THERE'S SO MANY.
THEY INCLUDE CHASING BIRDS,
DIVING INTO THE DAM
AND RUNNING AROUND LIKE CRAZY.
HER FAVOURITE
TRICKS ARE JUMPING,
DOING HANDSTANDS AND SKIPPING.
HER NAUGHTIEST DEED:
JUMPING UP ON THE
KITCHEN BENCH TO REACH FOOD.
PET HATES: WELL SHE HATES HAVING
SMELLY THINGS WASHED OFF HER.
THREE WORDS TO
DESCRIBE SKETCH:
QUIRKY, MISCHIEVOUS
AND ENERGETIC.
AND NOW LET'S SEE
SKETCH DEMONSTRATE.

The caption changes to "Come when called."

Katrina says SKETCH.
SIT.

She gives Sketch a treat and says GOOD GIRL.
TEACHING YOUR DOG TO COME TO
YOU WHEN YOU CALL THEM
IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
YOU NEED TO BE CONFIDENT TO KNOW
THAT YOUR DOG WILL RETURN TO YOU
IN ANY ENVIRONMENT.

Sketch sits on its back legs.

Katrina says OH THANK YOU.
WELL NOW WE'VE SEEN
AN EXPERT DEMONSTRATION,
LET'S GO SEE WHO'S
HERE TO TRAIN THEIR DOG.
I'M HERE WITH SOFIA
AND HER FRIEND CASH.
CASH IS A FIVE-MONTH-OLD PUPPY
WITH VERY STRONG JAWS AND TEETH.
UMM FULL OF ENERGY.
HOW WOULD YOU
DESCRIBE CASH'S PERSONALITY?

Sofia is around 10 years old, with long blond hair in a ponytail. She wears a green polo-shirt and white trousers.

Sofia says VERY HAPPY AND
SOMETIMES UMM NAUGHTY.

Katrina says WHEN YOU SAY HE IS NAUGHTY,
WHAT DOES HE DO?
I CAN SEE HE LIKES TO JUMP UP.

Sofia says UMM HE WEES ON MY BED.

Katrina says HE WEES ON YOUR BED.
CASH THAT'S NO GOOD.
UMM DO YOU THINK
OWNING A DOG IS FUN?

Sofia says YOU CAN ALWAYS PLAY WITH THEM
AND YOU CAN ALWAYS BE
THERE WITH THEM.

Katrina says WELL ARE YOU READY TO DO
SOME TRAINING WITH CASH?

Sofia nods.

Katrina says OKAY LET'S GO.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TEACH
CASH TO COME WHEN HE'S CALLED.
IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT COMMAND
THAT ALL DOGS SHOULD KNOW
AS YOU NEED TO KNOW THEY'RE
GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU
WHEN YOU GO OUTDOORS
AND TO THE PARK.
DOES CASH COME BACK TO
YOU WHEN YOU CALL HIM?

Sofia says SOMETIMES.

Katrina says SOMETIMES BUT NOT ALL THE TIME.
SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO
IS I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A
COUPLE OF TREATS
AND VERY, WITH
A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM,
YOU CALL CASH.
SAY CASH COME AND WHEN HE COMES
TO YOU GIVE HIM THOSE TREATS.
SO LET HIM KNOW
YOU HAVE GOT THEM.
REACH IN.
LET HIM KNOW YOU HAVE GOT THEM.
OKAY STEP BACK.
NOW CALL HIM.
CASH.
GOOD BOY.
NOW HE HAS THE TREATS.
GOOD BOY.
SO THAT'S JUST STEP ONE.
WE'RE GOING TO PRACTICE THIS.
BACK TO YOU IN THE STUDIO.

Alfie says HEY GUYS COME HERE.
COME HERE.
COME HERE.
OKAY SO YOU'RE NOT VERY GOOD
AT COMING WHEN YOU'RE CALLED.
I WONDER IF SOFIA WILL DO ANY
BETTER TEACHING CASH TO COME
WHEN HE'S CALLED.
WE'LL FIND OUT A
LITTLE LATER ON.
BUT FIRST IT'S AN ANIMAL FACT.

(music plays)
The caption changes to "Did you know?"

The Narrator says DID YOU KNOW
SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALES
HAVE ENORMOUS HEADS
WHICH IS UP TO ONE QUARTER
OF THEIR TOTAL BODY LENGTH.
THE BUMPS ON THE WHALE'S HEAD
IS CALLED A 'CALLOSITY'
AND IS MADE OF HARD MATERIAL,
SIMILAR TO HUMAN FINGER-NAILS.
THEY APPEAR WHITE DUE TO LARGE
COLONIES OF WHALE LICE
CALLED CYAMIDS.

In a clip, a Whale says OUCH.

The Narrator says SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALES
TEND TO HAVE A LARGE CALLOSITY
AT THE FRONT OF THE HEAD,
CALLED A 'BONNET'.

The Whale says HELLO.

The Narrator says 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 CHATTY,
THEY'RE TALKATIVE,
THEY'RE VERBOSE AND
THEY'RE LOQUACIOUS.
WHO ELSE COULD I BE
TALKING ABOUT?
IT'S TIME FOR TWO BOBS.

The caption changes to "Two Bobs."

Two mantises stand on a plant. One is green and the other is dark brown.

Mantis Bob 1 says OMM. OMM.
OMM. OMM.

Mantis Bob 2 beat boxes.

Mantis Bob 1 says BREATHE
IN WITH CALMNESS.

Beat boxing, Mantis Bob 2 says OH HE'S BREATHING.
BREATHING.

Mantis Bob 1 says BREATHE OUT THE ANGER.

Mantis Bob 2 sings ANGER OUT WOW.

Mantis Bob 1 says THEN RAISE YOUR ARMS
CALMLY AND SAY HELLO TO THE SUN.

Mantis Bob 2 sings B TO THE O TO THE B
HE'S CALM
HE'S CALM
AIN'T NO NEED FOR ALARM
HE'S DOING SOME
YOGA LIKE A COBRA
HE'S...
OW.

Mantis Bob 1 hits Mantis Bob 2.

Mantis Bob 1 says THAT WAS MY SOLO.

Mantis Bob 2 says OUCH CHICA OW BOB.

Smiling, Alfie says AND THAT WAS THE TWO BOBS.
AHH THEY'RE SUCH A CRACK UP.
MORE FROM THEM LATER.
NEXT ON THE SHOW
IT'S TIME TO PUT YOUR ANIMAL
KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST
AND SEE HOW
YOUR BRAIN IS TRAINING.
IT'S TIME FOR CREATURE QUIZ.

The caption changes to "Creature Quiz."

The Narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
BUILDS MORE THAN FIFTEEN
THOUSAND HOMES
IN THEIR LIFETIME?
IS IT A THE ACROBATIC
AND ORIGINAL ORANG-UTANS?

An Orangu-tan on a tree says HOORAY.

The Narrator says IS IT B THE DASHINGLY
HANDSOME MANNED WOLF?

A Wolf says HELLO.

The Narrator says OR IS IT C
THE LONELIEST BIRD IN
THE WORLD THE KAKAPO.

A bird cries.

The Narrator says IF YOU ANSWERED A
THE ORANG-UTAN IS OUR BUILDER,
YOU'RE CORRECT.
MEET THE ORANG-UTAN.
THE TRAPEZE ARTIST
OF THE TREETOPS.
THIS ULTIMATE HIGH-RISE MUM
SPENDS HER ENTIRE LIFE
FAR ABOVE THE DANGERS
ON THE FOREST FLOOR.
BUT HANGING AROUND IN TREES
ISN'T EASY
BECAUSE THIS MUM IS THE
ULTIMATE HOMEMAKER.
FOR JUST LIKE HUMAN PARENTS
THERE'S ALWAYS WORK TO BE DONE
AROUND THE HOUSE.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO HOMEMAKING
THERE'S NO MATCH
FOR THE ORGAN-UTAN
BECAUSE SHE BUILDS A NEW HOME
EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
THAT MEANS IN THE COURSE
OF HER LIFE
SHE'LL BUILD FROM SCRATCH MORE
THAN FIFTEEN THOUSAND HOMES.
AT THE END OF THE DAY A BUSY MUM
HAS NO TIME TO HANG AROUND
AS HIGH AS EIGHTEEN METRES
ABOVE THE GROUND
SHE STARTS WORK ON HER NEST.
BY BENDING OVER BRANCHES
SHE MAKES A FIRM BASE
AND THEN TUCKS IN
THE SMALLER TWIGS
TO MAKE A SPRINGY MATTRESS.
THE ORANG-UTAN IS A NOMAD
RESTLESSLY SWINGING
THROUGH THE FOREST
ITS LIFE IS A CONSTANT
SEARCH FOR NEW FOOD
AND FOR A NEW TREE TO CALL HOME
FOR THE NIGHT.

An Orang-utan Baby says AH, NOT BAD MUM.

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

The Narrator says DID YOU KNOW
THAT DOMESTICATED CARIBOU
ARE ALSO CALLED REINDEER?
CARIBOU DIG CRATERS IN THE SNOW
TO FIND THE LICHENS
THEY LIKE TO EAT.
WHICH FORM ABOUT NINETY PERCENT
OF THEIR WINTER DIET.
THEY CAN SMELL THE LICHENS
THROUGH THE SNOW.
UNLESS THE SNOW
PATCH IS TOO DEEP.
CARIBOU CAN TRAVEL
5,000 KILOMETRES EACH YEAR
IN SEARCH OF NEW
GRAZING GROUNDS.
REINDEER HERDING HAS LONG BEEN
AN IMPORTANT TRADITIONAL PART
OF MANY INDIGENOUS
PEOPLE'S CULTURE.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say ...AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says AND NOW FOR A BIT
OF PUPPY VISION.
EARLIER WE MET SOFIA AND CASH,
THE ENERGETIC AMERICAN
STAFFY PUPPY
AND DR. KATRINA IS GOING
TO HELP TRAIN CASH
TO COME WHEN HE'S CALLED.
A VERY IMPORTANT
PART OF BASIC TRAINING.
WELL IT'S TIME NOW TO SEE
HOW THEY'RE GETTING ON.
LET'S FIND OUT.
IT'S PART TWO OF DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says WELCOME BACK.
I'M HERE WITH SOFIA AND CASH
AND WE'RE TEACHING CASH TO COME
WHEN HE'S CALLED.
WE HAVE WORKED ON STEP ONE,
WHICH IS TEACHING HIM IN A VERY
AHH CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.
WE'VE HAD HIM ON THE LEAD
AND SOFIA'S BEEN
CALLING HIM
AND IS VERY SUCCESSFUL AT
GETTING HIM TO COME WHEN
HE'S CALLED
ON THE LEAD.
THE NEXT STEP IS TO TAKE HIM
OFF THE LEAD
BUT WE ARE IN A CONFINED,
CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.
SO WE HAVE A FENCE SO HE
CAN'T ESCAPE AND RUN OFF.
BUT WE'RE STILL ONLY
GOING TO CALL HIM
OVER A VERY SHORT DISTANCE.
ARE YOU READY FOR STEP TWO?

Sofia nods.

Katrina says OKAY WE CAN DO THIS USING A TOY,
IF YOUR DOG HAS A FAVOURITE TOY,
OR TREATS AND FOOD.
SO I'M GOING TO GIVE
YOU BOTH OF THOSE.
THERE WE GO.
IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU
ARE DOING ANY DOG TRAINING
THAT YOU HAVE ADULT SUPERVISION.
AND IF YOU HAVE A PARTICULARLY
BOISTEROUS PUPPY OR DOG
SOMETIMES IT'S BEST
IF THE ADULT
ACTUALLY STARTS THE TRAINING
FOR YOU.
YOU DON'T WANT
ANYONE TO GET HURT.
OKAY ARE YOU READY CASH?
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO
IS TAKE OFF HIS LEAD.
I'LL GET YOU GO TO A
LITTLE BIT OF A DISTANCE AWAY.
MAYBE A METRE OR SO
AND CALL HIM TO YOU.
YOU READY?

Sofia says CASH.
SIT.
GOOD BOY.

Katrina says PERFECT.
WELL DONE.
WELL WE'VE GOT A
BIT MORE WORK TO DO.
BACK TO YOU IN THE STUDIO.

Alfie says WE'LL CATCH UP
WITH THEM A BIT LATER.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR
SOME BELLY HURTING,
SOME JAW ACHING, ROLLING
ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING.
WELL SHE THINKS SO.
YES GIVE IT UP FOR OUR
FAVOURITE HORSE WHO HOWLS.
IT'S BAD PUN PONY.

The caption changes to "It's Bad Pun Pony!"

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

Bad Pun Pony says WHAT DO YOU
CALL CHEESE THAT'S NOT YOURS.
NACHO CHEESE.
OR WHY
WOULDN'T THE LION EAT THE CLOWN?
BECAUSE HE TASTED FUNNY.

Kids say BAD PUN PONY YAY!

Alfie says HILARIOUS.
MORE BAD PUN PONY NEXT TIME.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR SOMETHING
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
WARM UP YOUR BRAINS AND
GET ENGAGED CREATURE FANS.
IT'S TIME TO TEST YOUR
KNOWLEDGE IN CREATURE QUIZ.

The Narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
LET'S OTHERS LOOK AFTER
THEIR BABIES
WITHOUT THEM EVEN KNOWING?
IS IT A THE ALWAYS
SNAPPY CROCODILE?
IS IT B THE PERFECT CATFISH?
OR IS IT C THE
CUDDLY CUTIE POLAR BEAR?

A clip shows the animals mentioned.

The Narrator continues IF YOU ANSWERED B THE
CATFISH CONGRATULATIONS.
THEY MAKE OTHER FISH
LOOK AFTER THEIR BABIES.
THE STORY BEGINS WHEN THE FEMALE
CICHLID RELEASES HER EGGS
AND THEN SCOOPS THEM
UP INTO HER MOUTH.
IT LOOKS LIKE A CAT FISH
IS JUST AFTER A FREE
MEAL OF CICHLID EGGS
BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY DOING
SOMETHING FAR MORE SINISTER.
AS THE CATFISH GULPED DOWN
THE CICHLID EGGS
THEY REPLACED THEM WITH
FERTILISED EGGS OF THEIR OWN.
IN THE CONFUSION THE CICHLID
FRANTICALLY SWALLOWS
ALL THE EGGS AROUND HER.
THE FEMALE CICHLID SPENDS
MORE THAN TWO WEEKS
ACTING AS AN ORAL INCUBATOR.
THE TROUBLE IS,
THE ALIEN EGGS DEVELOP FASTER
THAN THEIR OWN BABIES.
AND WHAT'S WORSE,
THE CATFISH HATCHLINGS JUST LOVE
EATING SMALL CICHLIDS.

A Catfish says OH OH.

The Narrator says SO WHILE SHE
WAITS FOR HER BABIES TO COME
THE CATFISH HATCHLINGS
EAT THEM ONE BY ONE.
THEN WHEN HER EGGS ERUPT
SHE OPENS HER MOUTH
TO GREET HER BABIES...

Baby Fish say HEY.

The Narrator says THE FEMALE
DOESN'T SEEM TO NOTICE
THAT ALL HER BABIES HAVE BEEN
REPLACED BY CUNNING CATFISH.
WHAT A CATASTROPHE.

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 TELL
GUESTS IN THE HOUSE,
THERE'S AN ADORABLE
ANIMAL IN TOO CUTE,
PLUS SOME MUSINGS FROM OUR
FAVOURITE BLACK AND WHITE BEAR,
THE FANTASTIC PONDERING PANDA.
ALL OF THAT, STILL TO
COME ON CREATURE MANIA.

The Narrator says DID YOU KNOW
SQUIRRELS ARE EXTREMELY
INTELLIGENT CREATURES?
THEY ARE KNOWN TO PRETEND
TO BURY FOOD
IN ORDER TO DECEIVE
POTENTIAL THIEVES,
SUCH AS OTHER
SQUIRRELS OR BIRDS,
INTO THINKING THAT THEY HAVE
STORED THEIR FOOD STOCK THERE.
MMM SNEAKY.
ANY OBSERVERS PLANNING ON
TAKING THE STASH
WILL THEN FOCUS ON THE
FAKE BURIAL SITE,
ALLOWING THE SQUIRREL
TO BURY THE REAL STASH
SOMEWHERE ELSE SAFELY.
CLEVER LITTLE GUYS.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say ...AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says OOH, AND NOW CREATURE FRIENDS
IT'S THE PART OF THE SHOW
I LOOK FORWARD TO.
IT'S TIME TO MEET A SPECIAL
GUEST AND THEIR PET RIGHT HERE.
BUT FIRST THERE'S THIS.

A kitty plays with yellow yarn.

The caption changes to "It's Pet and Tell."

Alfie says INTRODUCING MADISON.
SHE'S BROUGHT IN HER PET
FISH TO TELL US MORE ABOUT IT.

They make a special hand greeting.

Alfie says WELCOME TO THE SHOW MADISON.

They chuckle. Madison is around 10 years old. She has shoulder length blond hair. She wears a green polo shirt.

Madison says THANK YOU ALFIE.

Alfie says SO AHH, WHO IS THIS?

Madison says GOLDIENE.

Alfie says GOLDIENE.
AND AHH WHAT KIND OF
A FISH IS GOLDIENE?

Madison says A FIGHTING FISH.

Alfie says A FARTING FISH?
[farting noise]
SHE'S A
FARTING FISH?

Laughing, Madison says FIGHTING.

Alfie says OH FIGHTING.
SORRY.
SO AHH WHAT DOES SHE FIGHT?

Madison says NOTHING.

Alfie says IS GOLDIENE GOING TO FIGHT ME?

Madison shakes her head gesturing "No."

Madison says SHE'S NOT GOING TO FIGHT YOU?

Madison says NO.

Alfie says OKAY SO WE'RE SAFE.
SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH.
SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH HAVE BEEN
BRED TO FIGHT FOR CENTURIES.
MALES WON'T TOLERATE
EACH OTHER IN CLOSE QUARTERS.
WILD FIGHTING FISH ARE NORMALLY
BROWN OR OLIVE IN COLOUR
BUT THEY TAKE ON MORE
INTENSE COLOURS
AS SIGNALS OF AGGRESSION OR
AS PART OF THEIR COURTSHIP.
FIGHTING FISH HAVE EVOLVED WHAT
IS CALLED A LABYRINTH ORGAN.
THAT ALLOWS THEM TO BREATHE AIR
FROM ABOVE THE WATERS SURFACE.
FIGHTING FISH NORMALLY
LIVE TWO TO THREE YEARS.
SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH.
SO IS THERE ANYTHING INTERESTING
ABOUT THIS TANK THAT YOU LIKE?

Madison says UMM IT LIGHTS UP.

Alfie says CAN YOU SHOW US?
OH WOW, SO GOLDIENE'S
NOT A FIGHTING FISH,
GOLDIENE'S A DISCO FISH.
YEAH?
DO YOU EVER DO
DANCE MOVES WITH HER?

Madison says NO.

Dancing, Alfie says CAN YOU DO SOME DANCE MOVES?
CAN YOU SHOW ME SOME
DISCO DANCE MOVES?

They both dance.

Alfie says AND DOES GOLDIENE DO
DANCE MOVES LIKE THAT?

Madison says UMM SHE JUST SWIMS AROUND.

Alfie says OH THAT'S NOT A
VERY FUN DANCE MOVE.
SWIMMING.
I'D BE PRETTY GOOD
AT THAT I THINK.
THAT'S MY SWIMMING DANCE MOVE.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU CLEAN THE TANK?

Madison says ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS.

Alfie says DO YOU DO THAT YOURSELF OR
DO YOU GET YOUR MUM TO HELP?

Madison says UMM I DO IT MYSELF
BUT WHEN THE LIKE ALGAE GETS
THROUGH THERE
I NEED HELP GETTING IT OUT.

Alfie says YEAH SO DO YOU HAVE
TO CLEAN THE GLASS
AND MAKE SURE IT STAYS CLEAN?

Madison says MMM HMM.

Alfie says WHY IS THERE A
FAKE TREE IN THERE?

Madison says BECAUSE IT LIKES
SWIMMING AROUND IT,
OTHERWISE IT WILL GET BORED.

Alfie says WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE
THING ABOUT GOLDIENE?

Madison says WHEN SHE UMM SWIMS AND GLIDES
IN THE WATER
HER UMM TAIL FANS UP.

Alfie says THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
ON THE SHOW TODAY MADISON.

Madison says THANK YOU ALFIE.

Alfie says AND THANK YOU FOR
INTRODUCING US TO GOLDIENE.

Madison says YOU'RE WELCOME ALFIE.

Alfie says GOLDIENE IS THE PERFECT
PET FOR PET AND TELL.
NOW THIS.

The Narrator says FACE IT SOME
ANIMALS LOOK LIKE
TURTLES, CLOWNS.

A puffin laughs.

The Narrator says LIKE THE PUFFIN.
THESE HAPPY
FLAPPERS CAN BARELY FLY.
HAVE CRAZY
MULTI-COLOURED OVERSIZED BEAKS.
THAT DOESN'T LOOK REAL.
HAVE SOME SERIOUSLY
GOOFY DANCE MOVES,
WAY OUT HAIRSTYLES
AND LOOK LIKE CLOWNS READY
TO JOIN THE CIRCUS.
IF YOU ASK ME THAT'S JUST...

Kids say ...TOO CUTE.

Alfie says AHH SO CUTE.
ALL RIGHT CREATURE MANIACS
ARE YOU FEELING CLEVER?
LET'S SEE IF WE CAN WORK ON
THOSE SUPER BRAINS OF YOURS
AND FIND OUT SOME COOL STUFF.
IT'S TIME FOR SOME MORE
ASTOUNDING ANIMALS
IN CREATURE QUIZ.

The Narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
HAS NO CHANCE OF OUTRUNNING
ITS PREDATORS?
IS IT A THE KANGAROO?
I DON'T KNOW.
THEY'RE PRETTY FAST.
B THE CAMOUFLAGE CRAB?
VERY FASHIONABLE.
OR C THE MAORI WRASSE?
DO THEY HAVE THE SPEED
TO MAKE A QUICK GETAWAY?
IF YOU HAVE SELECTED B
THE CAMOUFLAGE CRAB
AS OUR SLOW MOVING POTENTIAL
SNACK,
THEN YOU'RE CORRECT.
EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THE
SEA'S LIVING ORGANISMS
ARE FASTER THAN
CAMOUFLAGE CRABS,
THEY HAVE STILL FOUND A WAY
TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE.
HOW YOU ASK?
NO PRIZES FOR GUESSING,
BUT HERE'S A LITTLE HINT?
IT'S IN THEIR NAME.
YEP, THAT'S RIGHT: CAMOUFLAGE.
THIS STYLISH CREATURE IS ALSO
CALLED A DECORATOR CRAB
AND A DRESSER CRAB,
AS THEY USE ITEMS FROM ITS
IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS
IN ORDER TO BLEND INTO
THE BACKGROUND
AND AVOID THE VERY SAME
PREDATORS THAT IT CANNOT OUTRUN
AND IT WORKS.
THIS PARTICULAR
BREED'S SPECIALTY
IS ITS IMPRESSION OF A ROCK
WITH SEAWEED GROWING ON IT.
THE CRAB HAS TO COLLECT THE MOST
APPROPRIATE ACCESSORIES
AND THEN GETS DRESSED
BY ATTACHING EACH PIECE
OF SEA LETTUCE TO ITS SHELL
BY HOOKING THEM
ONTO VELCRO-LIKE BRISTLES
GROWN FOR ESPECIALLY
THIS PURPOSE.
LET'S SEE THIS CLOAK OF
INVISIBILITY IN ACTION.
HERE WE SEE A HUNTING
HERON LOOKING FOR LUNCH.
THE CAMOUFLAGE CRAB SENSES
THE HERON'S APPROACH
AND MAKES LIKE A ROCK.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED FOR NOW.

The caption changes to "Two Bobs."

By a lake, Crocodile Bob 1 says WELCOME NON-ANIMAL
PRODUCT EATING VEGANS.
I OFFICIALLY DECLARE MEAT
EATERS ANONYMOUS IN ORDER.

Crocodile Bob 2 says HELLO.
MY NAME'S BOB.

Crocodile Bob 1 says HELLO BOB.

Crocodile Bob 2 says IT'S BEEN AT LEAST
A FEW MINUTES
SINCE I ATE MY LAST CARCASS.

Crocodile Bob 1 says GREAT WORK BOB.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?

Crocodile Bob 2 says HUNGRY.
I FEEL HUNGRY.
OH WOW I COMPLETELY
FORGOT TO TELL YOU.

Crocodile Bob 1 says TELL ME WHAT BOB?

Crocodile Bob 2 says I KNOW WHERE
SOME JUICY FRUIT BATS
ARE HANGING OUT.

Crocodile Bob 1 says WE'RE VEGANS BOB.
YOU CAN'T EAT BATS.

Crocodile Bob 2 says THAT'S MEAT BATS BOB.
THESE ARE FRUIT BATS.
I'M NOT A SAVAGE.
GOOD BYE.

Crocodile Bob 1 says NO BOB.
NO DON'T DO IT BOB.

Crocodile Bob 2 gets into the water.

Crocodile Bob 2 says I'M OFF
TO FIND MY FRUIT BATS.

Crocodile Bob 1 says YOU CAN SWIM
BOB BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE.

Crocodile Bob 2 says FRUIT BATS
FOR EVERYBODY.

Crocodile Bob 1 says OH I GUESS
YOU CAN HIDE.

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

The Narrator says DID YOU KNOW
THE BURROWING OWL IS SO NAMED
BECAUSE THEY LIVE UNDERGROUND
IN BURROWS
THAT HAVE BEEN DUG OUT
BY SMALL MAMMALS?

An Armadillo says HEY YOU.

The Narrator says UNLIKE OTHER OWLS
WHO PREFER THE COVER OF NIGHT,
BURROWING OWLS ARE
ACTIVE DURING THE DAY.
THESE TALL TERMITE MOUNDS
GIVE THE BRAZILIAN BURROWING
OWL AN EXCELLENT VIEW
OF THEIR SURROUNDS.
AS WITH OTHER
BURROWING OWL SPECIES,
THEIR NUMBERS HAVE
DECLINED SHARPLY
WITH HUMAN ALTERATION
OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say ...AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says OKAY CREATURE FANS TIME TO
GET A BIT PHILOSOPHICAL.
TIME FOR SOME MUSINGS,
SOME WONDERINGS,
SOME THOUGHTS AND
SOME PONDERINGS
FROM OUR FAVOURITE BLACK
AND WHITE,
ROLLIE POLY, BAMBOO EATING,
PONDERING PANDA.

Kids say THE PANDA THAT LIKES
TO PONDER.

Lying on the grass and eating, Pondering Panda says YOU KNOW
HOW IF YOU CLOSE ONE EYE
IT'S CALLED A WINK?
BUT IF YOU CLOSE TWO
EYES IT'S CALLED A BLINK?
WELL WHAT ABOUT THINGS
THAT ONLY HAVE ONE EYE?
I MEAN THOSE PIRATE PEOPLE WITH
EYE PATCHES ONLY HAVE ONE EYE.
SO IF THEY CLOSE THEIR EYE
ARE THEY WINKING OR ARE
THEY BLINKING?
OR MAYBE THEY'RE NOT
DOING EITHER.
MAYBE THEY'RE BWINKING.
YEAH, BWINKING.
THAT MAKES TOTAL SENSE.

Chuckling, Alfie says AND THAT MY FRIENDS
WAS PONDERING PANDA.
SO WEIRD.
MOVING ON
IT'S TIME TO HEAD OVER AND
CHECK IN WITH DR. KATRINA.
LET'S SEE HOW SOFIA
AND CASH ARE DOING
WITH TODAY'S TRAINING.
YES IT'S PART
THREE OF DOG TRICKS.

In a garden, Katrina says WE'VE HAD A GREAT TIME
WITH SOFIA AND CASH.
CASH IS DOING REALLY WELL AT
COMING BACK WHEN HE'S CALLED
OVER SHORT DISTANCES.
THE NEXT STEP
IS TO SEE IF HE WILL COME
BACK OVER LARGE DISTANCES.
OKAY ARE YOU READY TO SEE IF HE
CAN COME OVER A BIGGER DISTANCE?

Sofia nods.

Katrina continues I'LL GET YOU TO GO DOWN
TO THE FENCE
AND THEN I WILL TAKE HIM OFF
AND THEN YOU CALL HIM
IN YOUR BIGGEST, LOUDEST,
MOST ENTHUSIASTIC VOICE
AND WHEN HE COMES
MAKE SURE YOU GIVE HIM THOSE
TREATS AND LOTS OF PRAISE OKAY.
SO LET HIM SNIFF THE TREATS.
OKAY NOW IF YOU WALK
STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE FENCE.
CALL HIM IN YOUR BIGGEST VOICE.
GO CASH.

Sofia says CASH.

Cash runs towards her.

Sofia says GOOD PUPPY.

Katrina says WELL DONE TO SOFIA AND CASH.
THAT'S ALL WE'VE GOT TIME FOR.
WE'LL BE BACK NEXT TIME
WITH MORE DOG TRICKS.

Alfie says WHAT AN AWESOME ANIMAL
PACKED SHOW IT'S BEEN.
ORANG-UTANS AND CATFISH AND
A HUGE SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALE.
WOW.
YOU KNOW WE REALLY DO
LIVE ON AN AMAZING PLANET.
IF YOU WANT MORE ANIMAL
MADNESS YOU KNOW WHERE TO COME.
AND REMEMBER ANIMALS ARE
AWESOME AND PETS ARE PALS.
I'M ALFIE.
JOIN ME NEXT TIME
ON CREATURE MANIA.
