Transcript: Wildebeest
(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 WHERE ARE WE EXPLORING
TODAY?
YOU DO THE HONOURS ORBIE.
I'LL SPIN IT, YOU PIN IT.
Orbie says OKAY!
UHHHH, NOW!
Zamzoom spins the globe.
Zamzoom says NO LOOKING!
Orbie says WHAT DID I GET?
WHAT DID I GET?
Zamzoom says KENYA, IN AFRICA! I CAN'T
GET ENOUGH OF THAT PLACE!
AFRICAN ANIMALS ARE
ASTOUNDING.
Orbie says ABSOLUTELY. AWAY WE GO!
Zamzoom says JACKPOT!
LOOK AT ALL THOSE CREATURES.
THERE ARE 1,2,3,4...
NO, WAIT, LET'S START OVER.
1...2...3...
DAH! AT LEAST A MILLION OF
THEM!
They fly over wildebeests.
Orbie says ACCESSING EARTH RECORDS...
THEY'RE CALLED WILDEBEESTS,
WHICH BELONG
TO THE ANTELOPE FAMILY.
THAT WAS A PRETTY GREAT GUESS
ZAMZOOM.
THERE ARE 1.3 MILLION OF THEM
ROAMING THE AFRICAN PLAINS.
I KNOW WHAT THIS IS.
IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST ANIMAL
MIGRATIONS ON THE PLANET.
THESE WILDEBEESTS JOURNEY FOR
1600 KILOMETRES
IN A ROUTE ACROSS 2 COUNTRIES
TO FIND FOOD AND WATER.
They land on a jungle.
Orbie says LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE STOPPING
TO EAT.
THERE'S SOME GOOD GRASS
HERE.
Zamzoom says IS IT JUST ME, OR DO SOME OF
THEM LOOK
MORE STRIPEY THAN OTHERS?
Orbie says ANALYZING...
THOSE ARE ZEBRAS. THEY ARE
ALSO LOOKING FOR
GREENER PASTURES AND ACCOMPANY
THE HERDS OF WILDEBEESTS
ON THEIR MIGRATION. BUT, THEY
ARE A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT SPECIES.
Zamzoom says WELL, THEY ALL SEEMS TO BE
FRIENDS.
Orbie says THEY MAKE GREAT FRIENDS
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT COMPETING
FOR FOOD;
ZEBRAS LIKE TO EAT TALL GRASS
AND WILDBEESTS PREFER THE SHORT,
SCRUFFY STUFF.
Zamzoom says NICE SHARING GUYS!
AWWW LOOK! BRAND NEW BABIES!
IT CAN BARELY STAND UP. HOW
IS IT GOING TO
KEEP UP WITH THE OTHERS?
WE GOTTA HELP IT.
COME ON LITTLE GUY. WE'LL
FLY YOU THERE.
Orbie says WAIT! HOLD ON, THOSE CALVES
ARE TOUGHER THAN YOU THINK.
IT ONLY TAKES A FEW DAYS BEFORE
A NEWBORN CAN WALK FAST ENOUGH
TO KEEP UP WITH THE HERD.
Zamzoom says BUT...
THEY'RE SO LITTLE.
AND LOOK OVER THERE, HUNGRY
PREDATORS!
AND THERE.
AND THERE!
A leopard and two lions walk nearby.
Zamzoom says WE HAVE TO SAVE THE BABIES!
Orbie says IT'LL BE OKAY!
THE CALVES STICK CLOSE TO THEIR
MOTHERS
WHO CAN DELIVER A DEADLY KICK
IF PREDATORS GET TOO CLOSE.
Zamzoom says OH LOOK, THEY'RE ON THE MOVE
AGAIN!
Orbie says HURRY, LET'S CATCH UP!
LOOK AT THIS! WE'RE
WITNESSING ONE OF THE MOST
DANGEROUS THINGS
WILDEBEESTS HAVE TO DO;
CROSS A HUGE RIVER.
Zamzoom says WHY IS IT SO DANGER..
OOOH...
THAT WATER'S MOVING FAST, AND
THERE ARE PREDATORS IN THERE.
LOOK OUT YOU GUYS!
Wildebeests cross a river with crocodiles.
Zamzoom says WOOHOO! THEY MADE IT!
Back at the spaceship, Zamzoom says ZOPZEE, WE JUST SAW A HUGE HERD
OF WILDEBEESTS TREKKING OVER
ENORMOUS DISTANCES AND RUSHING
RIVERS TO FIND FOOD.
ALL WHILE AVOIDING HUNGRY
PREDATORS, WHAT A THRILL!
On a screen, Zopzee says OH! DID THE BAD GUYS GET THEM?
Orbie says PREDATORS AREN'T ACTUALLY BAD
GUYS.
THEY KEEP THE POPULATION IN
BALANCE
OR THERE WOULD BE TOO MANY
WILDEBEESTS
AND NOT ENOUGH FOOD FOR THEM
ALL.
Zopzee says OH, THAT MAKES SENSE.
Zamzoom and Zopzee say STILL SCARY THOUGH...
Zamzoom says SOON, YOU'LL BE A GALAXY-
FAMOUS EXPLORER
AND YOU'LL SEE THE MAJESTIC
WILDEBEEST MIGRATION YOURSELF.
Zopzee says COOL!
The end credits roll.
