In animation, Zamzoom, a purple alien and his round, blue and orange flying robot friend Orbie go on an intergalactic expedition to planet Earth.

As they both jump on the spaceship, Zamzoom's little alien daughter Zopzee clings on Zamzoom's leg and Zamzoom hugs her goodbye.

The name of the show reads "Zamzoom's Animal Adventures."

Zamzoom says I'M READY TO
CHOOSE THE LOCATION OF OUR
NEXT TRIP TO PLANET EARTH
BUT NOT BY SPINNING THE GLOBE.

Orbie says BUT THAT'S HOW WE ALWAYS DO IT!

Zamzoom says I'M SHAKING THINGS
UP! TODAY I'M TOSSING
THESE LETTER TILES
AND WHATEVER PLACE
THEY RANDOMLY SPELL OUT,
THAT'S WHERE
WE'RE GOING!

Orbie reads the tiles as they fall and says Z...B...G...X...AND T.
SO WE'RE TRAVELLING
TO XBGXT...
UH...I HEAR IT'S LOVELY THERE.

Zamzoom says HMM, GUESS I SHOULD HAVE
INCLUDED SOME VOWELS.

Orbie says WHY DON'T WE
JUST GO...HERE?

Zamzoom says OOH! THE TROPICAL
FORESTS OF UGANDA! IN AFRICA!
AWAY WE GO!

Zamzoom says PHEW, IT'S LUSH HERE.
I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
WE SHOULD GET CLOSER
TO FIND SOME CREATURES.

They land the ship in the tropical forest.

Zamzoom says WHOA. IT'S NOT ONLY
VERY BUSHY HERE,
BUT IT'S WET
AND HOT TOO!

Orbie says MY DATABASE SAYS, TROPICAL
FORESTS ARE THE
LUNGS OF THE EARTH.
THEY DRAW IN CARBON DIOXIDE AND
BREATHE OUT OXYGEN.
THOUSANDS OF SPECIES OF PLANTS
AND ANIMALS LIVE HERE.

Zamzoom says WAIT, I SEE A GROUP OF
CREATURES UP AHEAD!
WOW. SOME OF THEM
ARE WALKING... UPRIGHT.
AND THEY'RE ZOOMING UP
AND DOWN THOSE TREES
LIKE CIRCUS ACROBATS!

Orbie says ACCESSING...
OH. THOSE ARE CHIMPANZEES.
ONE OF HUMAN'S
CLOSEST LIVING RELATIVES.

Zamzoom says REALLY? SO LIKE... THEY GET
INVITED OVER FOR HOLIDAY
DINNERS AND
WEDDINGS AND STUFF?

Orbie says UH, NO.
THEY'RE NOT THAT CLOSE. BUT
THEY HAVE MANY SIMILARITIES
TO HUMANS, FROM FACIAL
EXPRESSIONS TO
HUGGING TO SHOW AFFECTION.
CHIMPANZEES ARE
VERY INTELLIGENT ANIMALS.

Zamzoom says IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HANG
OUT IN REALLY CLOSE GROUPS.

Orbie says YOU'RE RIGHT,
AND SOMETIMES THEY TRAVEL
AROUND WITH A SMALLER
NUMBER OF OTHER CHIMPS.

Zamzoom says LIKE HUMANS DO.

Orbie says AND,
APPARENTLY THEY LOVE BEING
TICKLED LIKE MANY HUMANS DO.

Zamzoom says AND SOME ROBOTS
TOO I BET!

Orbie says I WOULDN'T KNOW!

Zamzoom says OH COME ON! I BET YOU
LOVE A GOOD TICKLE.

Zamzoom tickles Orbie and says TICKY, TICKY, TICKY!

Orbie says YOU CAN'T TICKLE
A COMPUTER...

(ORBIE GIGGLES)

Orbie says SORRY! I HAD NO IDEA
THAT WAS POSSIBLE!
AHEM, HM.
N-NOW WHERE WERE WE?
(CHIMPANZEE CALLS)

Zamzoom says YEAH. THEY SEEM TO HAVE
A KIND OF SPOKEN LANGUAGE.
AND WHEN THEY AREN'T MAKING ANY
SOUND THEY'RE
FACES ARE REALLY EXPRESSIVE!

Orbie says AND, WHEN TRAVELLING IN
SEARCH OF TASTY FRUIT,
CHIMPS WITH LOUDLY
DRUM ON TREES.
RESEARCHERS THINK IT MIGHT BE TO
KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE OTHERS.

Zamzoom says WHOOPS, LOOKS LIKE
THEY'RE ALL SETTLING
IN FOR SOME
SPECIAL BONDING
"US TIME."

Orbie says I GUESS THAT MEANS FOR
US IT'S GOTTA GO TIME!

Zamzoom says AWESOME TO THINK OVER
MILLIONS OF YEARS
HUMANS AND CHIMPANZEES EVOLVED
FROM A COMMON SPECIES.
I WONDER WHAT
MY SPECIES
EVOLVED FROM.

Zamzoom says MY GUESS...A
GIANT NOSE! HEHE.

Zamzoom says YOU MIGHT JUST BE RIGHT.
