Transcript: Giraffes
(theme music plays)
In animation, Zamzoom, a young purple space alien and his quick-witted robot partner Orbie high-five before getting into a space ship. Orbie is a blue and yellow floating ball with a robotic arm.
Zopzee, Zamzoom's little sister, appears and hugs Zamzoom. She has short pink hair and big eyes.
The title of the show reads "Zamzoom's Animal Adventures."
Zamzoom says OH BOY! CAN'T WAIT TO
SEE WHERE WE'RE GONNA
STUPENDOUS
CREATURES TODAY!
She spins a globe and pins a place.
Zamzoom says DID I HIT THE
OCEAN AGAIN?
I KEEP GETTING
THE OCEAN.
THIS PLANET IS
SO FULL OF WATER!
HEY, I GOT
AFRICA! WOOHOO!
Orbie says KENYA TO BE EXACT.
IN AMBOSELI NATIONAL
PARK. NICE PICK!
Next, piloting the space ship, Zamzoom says LET'S GO, LET'S GO,
LET'S GO!
WHAT ARE THOSE?
Orbie says PULL UP!
PULL UP!
THEY'RE TOO TALL!
YOU'RE COMING IN
TOO LOW!
YOU'RE GOING
TO SCARE THEM!
Zamzoom says OH RIGHT!
SORRY GUYS!
CRATERING COMETS! LOOK
HOW LONG THEIR NECKS ARE!
AND THEIR LEGS.
AND THEY'RE ALL SPOTTY.
Orbie says EARTH'S DATABASE
CALLS THEM "GIRAFFES."
THEIR SPOTS HELP THEM BLEND
IN WITH THE SHADOWS AND LIGHT,
AND EACH GIRAFFE
HAS A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT SPOT PATTERN,
LIKE A FINGERPRINT.
Zamzoom says SPOT MYSTERY SOLVED!
BUT HERE'S THE MILLION
DOLLAR QUESTION: WHY IS
A GIRAFFE'S NECK SO LONG?
I'VE GOTTA FIND OUT!
Zamzoom lands and steps out of the ship.
Orbie says PROBABLY BECAUSE IT'S HEAD
IS SO FAR AWAY FROM ITS BODY.
ORBIE LAUGHING
WELL I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY...
Zamzoom says WHOA... WELL THERE'S ONE
REASON FOR HAVING A LONG NECK.
THEIR SNACK BAR IS WAAAYYY
UP IN THE AIR!
Orbie says A GIRAFFE'S LONG NECK
GETS ITS HEAD UP HIGH
LOOKOUT FAR AND
WIDE FOR PREDATORS.
IT ALSO ALLOWS THEM TO REACH
THEIR FAVOURITE ACACIA TREES
THAT ARE TOO THORNY AND TOO TALL
FOR MANY OTHER ANIMALS TO EAT.
Zamzoom says HEY! THOSE ONES ARE DOING
SOMETHING ELSE WITH THEIR NECKS.
THEY'RE DANCING.
OH! THIS IS MY CHANCE
TO MAKE FIRST CONTACT.
LET'S COMMUNICATE THROUGH DANCE!
Zamzoom starts to dance.
Orbie says STOP! THEY'RE
NOT DANCING!
MALE GIRAFFES BATTLE BY
BASHING THEIR NECKS TOGETHER.
AND THOSE KNOBBY, BONEY
HORNS ON THEIR HEADS
ARE FORMIDABLE WEAPONS.
THEY'RE FIGHTING
TO ATTRACT A MATE.
Zamzoom says I DUNNO...
ARE YOU DANCING
OR FIGHTING?!
OOOKAY. MAYBE
THEY'RE FIGHTING...
Orbie says HEY! THAT GIRAFFE'S
TAKING A DRINK!
Zamzoom says HA HA! ANOTHER GOOD
REASON TO HAVE A LONG
NECK, TO REACH THE WATER.
OH I AM DEFINITELY TRYING THAT.
A giraffe spreads its front legs to drink water. Zamzoom imitates it.
Zamzoom says! WHOA!
Orbie says THE WATER COULD HAVE
FRIED YOUR CIRCUITS.
OH RIGHT, YOU DON'T
HAVE CIRCUITS!
STILL...YUCK.
Zamzoom says WOW! NICE
CATCH ORBS.
JUST LOST MY BALANCE.
LEMME TRY AGAIN!
Orbie says UH ZAMZOOM...
EVERYTHING'S FINE, NO NEED
TO PANIC, BUT THERE ARE
PREDATORS OVER THERE!
Female lions approach them.
Zamzoom says OH...HELLO PREDATORS...
NO NO, DON'T GET UP! I WAS
JUST LEAVING.
Zamzoom and Orbie run yelling AAAAAAHHH!
Back at the ship, Zamzoom says PHEW! GIRAFFES SURE HAVE TO BE
CAREFUL WHEN THEY STOP TO DRINK.
Orbie says LUCKILY THEY DON'T
NEED TO VERY OFTEN.
THEY GET A LOT OF THE WATER THEY
NEED STRAIGHT FROM THEIR FOOD.
Zamzoom says OH! SO THAT CUTS DOWN
THE RISK OF FALLING
FACE FIRST IN THE WATER.
WITH PREDATORS
AROUND.
Orbie says TO BE FAIR, YOU ALMOST
FELL IN THE WATER,
NOT THE GIRAFFE.
LUCKILY, YOUR BEST PAL
WAS THERE TO SAVE YOU!
Zamzoom says MEANING, ME!
Orbie says I KNEW YOU MEANT YOU.
THANKS ORBIE!
The end credits roll.
