(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.
WE'LL BE EXPLORING SOME OF
YOUR FAVOURITE ANIMALS TODAY.
THE FLUFFY, THE FURRY,
THE SLIMY AND THE SCARY.
COMING UP...

Clips show different types of animals as Alfie says WE PUT ON OUR NIGHT
VISION GOGGLES
TO EXAMINE THE BAT,
GET FEATHERY WITH A CORMORANT
AND GET UP CLOSE
WITH THE FEARSOME TIGER.
WE HAVE A LAUGH
WITH PANDA AND PONY,
AND MEET MILLY AND HER FANTASTIC
CHICKEN LOLA IN PET AND TELL.
PLUS, LOTS, LOTS MORE.
BUT FIRST, LET'S KICK IT OFF
WITH DR. KATRINA
AND HER YOUNG DOG TRAINERS,
TO SEE WHAT WE'RE GOING
TO LEARN TODAY IN...

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.

She sits on the grass with 4 brown and white dogs and says HI AND WELCOME TO DOG TRICKS.
I AM DR. KATRINA AND THESE
ARE THE COOLEST CANINES AROUND,
THE WONDER DOGS.
AND TODAY WE'RE GOING
TO SHOW YOU
HOW TO TEACH YOUR DOG TO
LEAVE THEIR FOOD ON COMMAND.
TRICK'S GOING TO
DEMONSTRATE THIS FOR US.
LET'S LEARN A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT HIM FIRST.
MEET TRICK,
HE'S FIVE YEARS OLD.
HIS NICKNAMES ARE
TRICKY AND THE TRICKSTER.
TRICK IS AN AGILITY CHAMPION.
HE DID HIS FIRST STAGE SHOW
WHEN HE WAS JUST EIGHT WEEKS OLD
AND HE HAS NOT STOPPED
PERFORMING SINCE.

Clips show the dog doing its favourite activities.

Katrina says HIS FAVOURITE TRICKS INCLUDE
FETCHING THINGS TO PUT AWAY,
RUNNING IN CIRCLES
AND PLAYING DEAD.
HE'S DEFINITELY THE FUN LOVING
CRAZY ONE WHO RARELY SITS STILL.
HIS PET HATES: NOT
BEING ALLOWED TO RUN.
NAUGHTIEST DEED: HE'S
ALWAYS STIRRING UP THE OTHERS.
FAVOURITE TREAT IS SAUSAGE.
THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE TRICK:
NAUGHTY, ACTIVE AND PLAYFUL.
OKAY, LET'S SEE
TRICK DEMONSTRATE.

A caption reads "Leave their food."

Katrina puts a food bowl don and says TRICK LEAVE.
TEACHING YOUR DOG TO LEAVE
THEIR FOOD ON COMMAND
IS EXTREMELY USEFUL.
IT TEACHES THEM GOOD MANNERS.
FOR EXAMPLE,
IT ALLOWS YOU TO PUT THEIR
FOOD BOWL DOWN AT DINNER TIME
WITHOUT THEM JUMPING
ALL OVER YOU
BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
TO NEVER APPROACH OR TOUCH
A DOG WHEN THEY'RE EATING
AND ALWAYS GIVE THEM SPACE
WHEN THERE'S FOOD AROUND.
OKAY, GOOD BOY.
WELL NOW WE'VE SEEN
AN EXPERT DEMONSTRATION,
LET'S GO SEE WHO'S
HERE TO TRAIN THEIR DOG.

Katrina sits on a bench with Trent and his dog.

Trent is around 12, with short straight blond hair and wears blue shorts and a blue T-shirt.

Katrina says I AM HERE WITH TRENT AND
HIS GORGEOUS DOG TETLEY.
TRENT TELL ME A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT TETLEY.

Trent says UMM, WELL HE'S EIGHT MONTHS OLD
AND HE IS A KELPIE CROSS
BORDER COLLIE.

Katrina says AND HOW WOULD YOU
DESCRIBE HIS PERSONALITY?

Trent says WELL HE IS SMART BUT
HE IS MOSTLY CHEEKY.

Katrina says WHAT'S THE BEST PART
ABOUT OWNING A DOG?

Trent says PROBABLY JUST EXERCISE.

Katrina says DO YOU DO A LOT OF
EXERCISE WITH HIM?

Trent says YEP.

Katrina says WHAT DO YOU DO?
ACTIVITIES?

Trent says LIKE RUNNING, SOCCER, NRL.

Katrina says HAVE YOU DONE MUCH
TRAINING WITH HIM?

Trent says HE KNOWS SIT,
SHAKE, TOUCH, DOWN,
THAT'S ABOUT IT.

Katrina says THAT'S GREAT THOUGH.
A LOT OF DOGS DON'T
EVEN KNOW HOW TO SIT.
SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO
DO SOME TRICK TRAINING?

Trent says YEAH THAT WOULD BE GOOD.

Katrina says OKAY, LET'S GET TO IT.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TEACH
TETLEY TO LEAVE HIS FOOD.
BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING WITH FOOD
IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE
PARENTAL SUPERVISION.
AND IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN
YOUR DOG GROWL
OR GET POSSESSIVE OF THEIR FOOD
THIS TRICK IS NOT THE
BEST ONE FOR YOU.
WHAT WE DO IS WE JUST GET
A FEW LITTLE TREATS IN A BOWL
AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO
REWARD HIM FROM HERE
FOR JUST IGNORING THE BOWL.
TETLEY SIT.
NOW JUST SAY LEAVE.
GOOD BOY.
DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A GO?

Trent tries and says GOOD BOY.

Katrina says IF HE WAS TO JUMP UP
YOU JUST LIFT THE FOOD BOWL
BACK UP, ASK HIM TO SIT
AND DO IT AGAIN.
SO THAT WAS IT. THAT'S STEP ONE,
WHICH WAS GETTING HIM TO
LEAVE THE FOOD BOWL
WHILE WE'RE HOLDING IT.
THE NEXT STEP IS TO PUT
THE BOWL ON THE GROUND.
BUT WE WILL GO BACK
TO THE STUDIO
AND WE WILL COME BACK AND
DO STEP TWO SOON.

Back in the studio, Alfie says I WOULD NEVER BE
ABLE TO DO THIS TRICK.
LEAVE MY FOOD?
NOPE.
I DON'T THINK SO.
WE'LL CHECK IN
WITH DR. KATRINA
AND FIND OUT HOW TRENT
AND TETLEY
ARE DOING WITH THEIR TRAINING
A BIT LATER ON.
BUT FIRST, IT'S TIME FOR AN
ANIMAL FACT.

The narrator says DID YOU
KNOW BATS AREN'T BLIND?
IT'S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION.
BECAUSE BATS USE SONAR
TO HELP DETECT PREY.
MANY PEOPLE PRESUME
THEY DON'T USE THEIR EYES.
BUT THIS IS A MYTH.
BAT'S EYES MAYBE SMALL BUT
THEY ARE FUNCTIONAL
AND BATS USE THEM FOR NAVIGATION
JUST LIKE ALL FLYING ANIMALS.
SO THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE
SAYS YOU'RE AS BLIND AS A BAT
MAYBE TAKE
IT AS A COMPLEMENT.
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 LOUD MOUTHED,
THEY'RE CHATTY,
THEY'RE LOOSE-LIPPED
AND THEY'RE NOISY.
WHO ELSE COULD I BE
TALKING ABOUT?
YES, IT'S TIME FOR TWO BOBS.

Inside a hollow log, Wombat Bob 1 says BOB, WAKEY WAKEY.
WHAT?

Wombat Bob 1 says TODAY'S THE DAY.

Wombat Bob 2 says WHAT FOR, BOB?

Wombat Bob 1 says THE 75 PERCENT OFF DOOR BUSTER SALE
AT THE HAPPY WOMBAT.
OFF YOUR BUM NOW.

Wombat Bob 2 says OKAY, OKAY.

Wombat Bob 1 says LET'S GO, LET'S GO.

Wombat Bob 2 says ALL RIGHT,
WAIT BOB WE'RE WOMBATS.

Wombat Bob 1 says YEAH.

Wombat Bob 2 says WHAT DO WE NEED TO BUY?

He eats grass and says WE HAVE GOT FOOD RIGHT HERE.

Wombat Bob 1 says YEAH, BUT IS IT 75 PERCENT OFF?

Wombat Bob 2 says NO, IT'S FREE.

Wombat Bob 1 says STACK ME.
SO 75 PERCENT LESS THAN THAT MEANS
THEY WILL BE PAYING US TO...
OH WAIT,
IS TODAY THE 17TH?

Wombat Bob 2 says NO, IT'S THE 18TH.

Wombat Bob 1 says OH, WELL, BACK TO BED THEN.
GOOD PRACTICE RUN
FOR NEXT YEAR, BOB.
(SNORING)

Alfie says WE'LL HEAR A BIT
MORE FROM THEM LATER ON.
NEXT ON THE SHOW IT'S TIME
FOR SOME ANIMAL ENLIGHTENMENT,
FOR A LITTLE BIT
OF BRAIN TRAINING.
THROW ON YOUR THINKING CAP.
IT'S TIME FOR CREATURE QUIZ.

The narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
HAS UNDERGONE METAMORPHOSIS?
IS IT A) THE DAINTY
FLUTTERY BUTTERFLY
WHO CAN SMELL WITH THEIR FEET?
OR IS IT B) THE DUNG BEETLE
WHO IS QUITE GLAD IT CAN'T SMELL
WITH ITS FEET?
OR C, THE EARTHWORM?
THESE GUYS HAVE NO LUNGS AND
BREATHE THROUGH THEIR SKIN.

A worm says WOW.

The narrator says IF YOU
ANSWERED A) YOU ARE CORRECT.
THIS HANDSOME BUTTERFLY
HAD HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
AS A WIGGLY, GLUTTONOUS
CATERPILLAR.
YOU SEE ALL CATERPILLARS
HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON:
THEY EAT A LOT.
IF A HUMAN BABY WEIGHED
FOUR KILOGRAMS AT BIRTH
AND GREW AT THE SAME RATE
AS A CATERPILLAR,
WHEN FULLY GROWN IT WOULD
WEIGH MORE THAN
100,000 KILOGRAMS.
THAT'S THE SAME
WEIGHT AS A SPACE SHUTTLE.
ALL THAT FOOD IS FUEL FOR AN
EXTRAORDINARY TRANSFORMATION
DURING PUPATION.
THE CATERPILLAR
BUILDS A CHRYSALIS.
AND THERE'S NO REVERSING THE
CATERPILLAR'S TRANSFORMATION.
AS THE EMERGING BUTTERFLY
INFLATES ITS BODY WITH
PRESSURIZED FLUIDS,
THE CASE OF THE PUPA SPLITS OPEN
ALONG A LINE OF WEAKNESS.
A STICKY ALIEN
UNSTEADILY HAULS ITSELF OUT,
STRETCHES ITS WINGS AND
WAITS FOR THEM TO HARDEN.
THE FAT LUMBERING CATERPILLAR
HAS BEEN METAMORPHOSED
INTO A DELICATE BUTTERFLY.
IT'S TIME FOR THIS BEAUTY
TO SPREAD ITS WINGS
AND SOAR TO LOFTY NEW HEIGHTS.

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
THE CORMORANT CAN DIVE UP
TO FORTY-FIVE METERS UNDERWATER
TO SCORE SOME FOOD?
THE GALAPAGOS CORMORANT
ALSO RELIES ON ITS EYES
IN ADDITION TO ITS LUNGS
WHEN HUNTING FOR FISH.
THE CORMORANT'S SIGHT,
SPEED AND AGILITY
MAKE THEM MORE THAN
A MATCH FOR MOST FISH.
THEIR HUNTING AND FORAGING
IS ONLY LIMITED BY THE LENGTH OF
TIME THEY CAN STAY UNDERWATER,
WHICH IS A STAGGERING
FOUR AND A HALF MINUTES.
AMPLE TIME FOR THEM TO FIND AND
CATCH THEIR DINNER.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says WHAT A COOL FACT.
AND NOW TIME FOR US TO
HEAD OVER TO DOG TRICKS.
DR. KATRINA IS HELPING TRENT
TO TEACH HIS DOG TETLEY TO
LEAVE HIS FOOD.
IT'S GOOD TRAINING
TO MAKE SURE YOUR DOG DOESN'T
STEAL YOUR FOOD,
BUT IT SOUNDS PRETTY TOUGH.
LET'S SEE HOW
THEY'RE GETTING ON.
YES IT'S PART TWO OF DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says WELCOME BACK.
WE'RE TEACHING TETLEY
TO LEAVE HIS FOOD BOWL.
WE'VE ALREADY GOT HIM LEAVING
IT FROM A CLOSE DISTANCE,
HOLDING IT UP HIGH.
BUT WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS
PUT THE BOWL ON THE GROUND
AND ASK HIM TO LEAVE IT.
SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO
WITH THIS ONE
IS WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE
BOWL DOWN FOR JUST A SECOND,
ASK HIM TO LEAVE
AND THEN GIVE HIM
A TREAT FOR DOING SO.
LEAVE.
GOOD BOY.
PERFECT.
SO THAT'S STEP TWO.
THE NEXT STEP IS TO ACTUALLY PUT
THE BOWL PROPERLY ON THE GROUND
AND ASK HIM TO LEAVE IT FOR
AS LONG AS YOU WANT
BEFORE HE GETS IT.

Alfie says WE'LL CATCH UP WITH
THEM A BIT LATER ON.
AND NOW TIME FOR SOME
CHUCKLES AND SOME GIGGLES
AND MAYBE A BIT
OF SNIGGERING TOO
WITH OUR FAVOURITE FUNNY HORSE.
YES GIVE IT UP FOR THE ONE,
THE ONLY BAD PUN PONY.

A caption reads "Bad Pun Pony."

Kids say YAY!

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

Bad Pun Pony says WHY DIDN'T
THE SKELETON CROSS THE ROAD?
BECAUSE IT HAD NO GUTS.

Ducks chuckle.

Bad pun pony says HERE'S ANOTHER ONE.
WHAT DID THE OCEAN
SAY TO THE SHORE?
NOTHING.
IT JUST WAVED.

A rabbit laughs.

Kids say BAD PUN PONY YAY!

Alfie says THAT PONY IS PRICELESS.
WE'LL HAVE MORE INCREDIBLE
JOKES FROM PONY NEXT TIME.
BUT NOW TIME FOR SOMETHING
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
LET'S HAVE A BIT OF
A BRAIN TRAIN
AND TEST OUR ANIMAL KNOWLEDGE.
YES IT'S TIME
FOR CREATURE QUIZ.

The narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
IS THE SMALLEST PRIMATE
IN THE WORLD?
IS IT A, THE SWEET HONEY POSSUM?
IS IT B, THE MADAGASCAN
MOUSE LEMUR?
OR IS IT C, THE SWIMMING
RAT-LIKE AQUATIC TENREC?
IF YOU ANSWERED B
YOU ARE CORRECT,
THE MOUSE LEMUR IS THE
SMALLEST PRIMATE IN THE WORLD
AND ALSO THE ONLY PRIMATE
ON THAT LIST.
SO WHAT ARE PRIMATES,
YOU'RE ASKING?
WELL AMONG OTHER THINGS,
PRIMATES HAVE WELL
DEVELOPED HANDS AND FEET,
WITH FINGERS AND TOES.
THEIR OPPOSABLE THUMB MAKES IT
EASY FOR THEM TO GRAB THINGS.

A mouse lemur catches an insect and says GOTCHA.

The narrator says THESE ADORABLE
MOUSE LEMURS
ARE THE SMALLEST PRIMATES
IN THE WORLD
AND INHABIT THE ISLAND
OF MADAGASCAR
OFF THE EAST COAST OF AFRICA.
THE ADULT MOUSE LEMUR'S BODY
IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A TEACUP.
MOUSE LEMURS SLEEP
ALOFT DURING THE DAY
AND FORAGE AT NIGHT FOR INSECTS,
FRUIT, FLOWERS AND
OTHER PLANTS.
THESE ADORABLE PRIMATES
STORE FAT IN THEIR TAILS
AND HIND LEGS,
BURNING IT
WHEN FOOD IS SCARCE.
SMELL IS VITAL FOR NIGHT
DWELLERS AND SO IS SOUND.
LIKE BATS THEIR ULTRASONIC CALLS
ARE BEYOND OUR HEARING RANGE.
THEY ALL HAVE A WHITE
STRIP BETWEEN THE EYES
AND THEY SPEND MOST OF
THEIR TIME IN TREES.
AND THEY CAN MOVE NIMBLY
FROM BRANCH TO BRANCH
AND TREE TO TREE.

A mouse lemur jumps from tree to tree and says YEE HA.

The narrator says DESPITE THEIR NAME
THERE'S NOTHING MOUSEY
ABOUT THESE LEMURS.

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
THE TIGER IS THE BIGGEST
SPECIES OF THE CAT FAMILY?
TIGERS ARE GREAT SWIMMERS AND
CAN SWIM UP TO SIX KILOMETRES.

The crowd says HOORAY.

The narrator says RARE WHITE
TIGERS CARRY A GENE
THAT IS ONLY PRESENT
IN AROUND ONE IN
10,000 TIGERS.
TIGERS HAVE BEEN KNOWN
TO REACH SPEEDS UP TO
SIXTY-FIVE KILOMETRES PER HOUR
BUT LESS THAN TEN PERCENT
OF HUNTS END SUCCESSFULLY.
MANY SUBSPECIES OF
THE TIGER ARE EXTINCT.

The crowd says AWW.

The narrator says AND THERE ARE MORE
TIGERS HELD PRIVATELY AS PETS
THAN THERE ARE IN THE WILD.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says AND NOW MY CREATURE MANIACS
IT'S TIME FOR THE BEST BIT
OF THE SHOW,
WE MEET A SPECIAL
GUEST AND THEIR PET
RIGHT HERE IN THE HOUSE.
BUT FIRST, THERE'S THIS.

(music plays)

A clip shows a dog floating across a pool on a floating mat.

The caption changes to "It's pet and tell."

Alfie sits in the studio with Milly and her pet chicken.

Milly is around, with long wavy blond hair in a high ponytail and wears blue shorts and a red T-shirt.

Alfie says INTRODUCING MILLY.
SHE HAS BROUGHT IN
HER CHICKEN TO SHOW US.
HELLO MILLY.

Milly says HELLO ALFIE.

Alfie says HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

Milly says GOOD.

Alfie says GOOD.
AND AHH, WHO'S THIS?

Milly says LOLA.

Alfie says THIS IS LOLA.
AND WHAT KIND OF A
CHICKEN IS LOLA?
A CUTE CHICKEN?

Milly says YEAH.

Alfie says WHAT DO YOU DO TO
LOOK AFTER HER?

Milly says SO I FEED HER.

Alfie says DOES SHE EAT SCRAPS?

Milly says YEAH.

Alfie says THEN SHE TURNS THE
SCRAPS INTO EGGS?

Milly says YEP.

Alfie says SO IT IS KIND OF LIKE
A RECYCLING MACHINE.

Milly says MMM.

Alfie says YOU GIVE HER FOOD AND
SHE GIVES YOU EGGS.

Milly says YEAH.

Alfie says CHICKENS.
CHICKENS ORIGINATED IN INDIA
FROM THE SOUTH EAST
ASIAN JUNGLE FOUL.
THEY HAVE A LIFE EXPECTANCY
OF AROUND TWELVE YEARS
BUT SOME CAN REACH TWENTY.
THEIR DIETS CONSIST
OF VEGETABLES,
FRUITS, FLOWERS, GRASS,
GRAINS AND SEEDS.
THEY ALSO SCRATCH
THE GROUND TO EAT BUGS.
CHICKENS HAVE
FULL COLOUR VISION.
JUST LIKE HUMANS AND THEY ARE A
DIRECT DESCENDANT OF THE T-REX.
CHICKENS.
SO HOW DO YOU GUYS COMMUNICATE?
DO YOU SPEAK CHICKEN?

Milly nods.

Alfie says CAN YOU GIVE US AN
EXAMPLE OF SPEAKING CHICKEN?

Milly says LIKE THIS.
BWOK.
BWOK.
BWOK.

Alfie says AND SHE KNOWS
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?

She nods.

Alfie says MMM.
CAN YOU SING CHICKEN?

Milly says UMM YES.

Alfie says CAN YOU SING US A SONG THEN?
A CHICKEN SONG THAT
YOU'VE MADE UP FOR LOLA?

Milly sings OH LOLA, SHE'S A CHICKEN
SHE'S SO DELICIOUS,
SO YUMMY, AROUND
LOLA SEE HER FACE
SO SO YUMMY LITTLE LOLA

Alfie says WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE THING
ABOUT LOLA?

Milly says SHE'S REALLY, REALLY CUTE
AND ALWAYS RUNS TO ME
WHEN I COME OUT.

Alfie says YEAH.
WHY DOES SHE RUN TO YOU?

Milly says I DON'T KNOW.

Alfie says YEAH.
DOES SHE RUN FOR CUDDLES?

Milly says I GUESS SO.

Alfie says YEAH.
DOES SHE LIKE A CUDDLE?
CAN YOU SHOW ME?

Milly hugs Lola.

Alfie says OH THAT'S SUPER CUTE.
WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR COMING IN TODAY LILLY.

Milly says THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
COMING IN TODAY TOO ALFIE.

Alfie says NO WORRIES.
AND THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING US
TO YOUR GORGEOUS CHICKEN LOLA.
SHE'S SUPER CUTE ISN'T SHE?

YEAH.

Alfie says SPEAKING OF CUTE CHECK THIS OUT.

The narrator says THE OCEAN:
FULL OF WONDER, FULL OF MYSTERY,
FULL OF...
CLOWN FISH.

The crowd says AWW.

The narrator says THESE GUYS ARE
SUPER COOL AND SO COLOURFUL
WITH THEIR CRAZY STRIPES.
PLUS THEY'RE WAY
CUTER THAN REAL CLOWNS.

A clown fish says BOOHOO.

The narrator says SORRY BUDDY.
THEY'RE ALSO SUPER SMALL,
WHICH MAKES THEM GREAT
AT HIDE AND SEEK.
AHH CLOWN FISH.
THEY'RE JUST...

Kids say TOO CUTE.

Alfie says I LOVE THAT PART OF THE SHOW.
RIGHT, TIME FOR SOMETHING
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
LET'S PUT YOU'RE ANIMAL
UNDERSTANDING TO THE TEST
AND NOURISH THAT BRAIN OF YOURS
IN ANOTHER CREATURE QUIZ.

The narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
LEARNS TO DIVE AT
JUST ONE WEEK OLD?
IS IT A, THE EMPEROR PENGUIN?
THE LARGEST OF
THE PENGUIN SPECIES
AND THE MOST WELL DRESSED.

A penguin says THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

The narrator says B, THE WEDDELL SEAL?
THEY KEEP THESE WATERHOLES
OPEN WITH THEIR TEETH.
OUCH.
OR IS IT C, THE ADELIE PENGUIN?
DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE
ROCKS THAT HE'S GOT.
IF OUR YOUNG DIVER IS B,
THE WEDDELL SEAL
YOU'RE CORRECT.
THE WEDDELL SEAL
LEARNS HOW TO SWIM
AT JUST ONE WEEK OLD
IN WATER THAT'S SO COLD IT'S
CONSTANTLY FREEZING SOLID.
FOR THE FIRST LESSON
MUM ACTUALLY HAS TO PUSH HER PUP
INTO THE WATER.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING
IN THE WOMB AND ON THE ICE
IS AN EXTRAORDINARY
SIXTY DEGREES.
NO WONDER THE YOUNG PUP SPENDS
ITS FIRST WEEK
DOING NOTHING BUT EATING.
IT HAS TO PILE ON AS MUCH
INSULATING BLUBBER AS POSSIBLE
TO SURVIVE BOTH ON
AND UNDER THE ICE.
SOON IT WILL BE ABLE TO
JOIN ITS PARENTS
WHO CAN DIVE FOR EIGHTY MINUTES
TO AN ASTOUNDING
SEVEN HUNDRED METRES
IN SEARCH OF FISH AND OTHER
SMALL VERTEBRATES.
THAT'S FOUR TIMES
FURTHER THAN HUMAN FREE DIVERS.

A caption reads "Two Bobs."

Mudskipper Bob 1 says YOU KNOW WHAT BOB,
I REALLY THINK YOU'RE ON TO
SOMETHING WITH THESE
CONTEMPORARY DANCE LESSONS.
MY BODY FEELS SO FREE
AND RELAXED.

Mudskipper Bob 2 says I SEEM TO AGREE WITH YOU BOB.
WHAT SAY WE TAKE IT UP A NOTCH
OR TWO?

Mudskipper Bob 1 says GOOD IDEA BOB.

Mudskipper Bob 2 says LET'S GO.

Mudskipper Bob 1 says FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT.

Mudskipper Bob 2 says TWELVE, FOURTEEN, TWENTY-THREE,
THIRTEEN.

Mudskipper Bob 1 says OH YEAH.
MERMAID, TWO, THREE, FOUR.

Mudskipper Bob 2 says BODY FLOP MMM.
BODY FLOP MMM.

Mudskipper Bob 1 says HEY BOB WAS THAT ONE NOTCH
OR TWO YOU JUST TOOK IT UP?

Mudskipper Bob 2 says I TOOK IT UP SIX NOTCHES.
TOO MUCH?

Mudskipper Bob 1 says TOO MUCH, YEAH COULD YOU TAKE IT DOWN
FOUR NOTCHES?
BRING IT DOWN, BRING IT DOWN.
BRING IT DOWN, BRING IT DOWN.
BRING IT DOWN.

Mudskipper Bob 2 says TOO FAR DOWN I THINK.

Mudskipper Bob 1 says YEAH, YEAH.
YEAH, YEAH.
TAKE IT, TAKE IT.
TAKE IT, TAKE IT.

Mudskipper Bob 2 says I COULD NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS.

Mudskipper Bob 1 says I COULD.
AND I AM.

Mudskipper Bob 2 says ME TOO.
I AM TIRED.
ALL RIGHT.

Mudskipper Bob 1 says I THINK WE TOOK IT UP
TOO MANY NOTCHES.

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
HIGH UP ON THE SEA CLIFFS
OVERLOOKING THE TASMAN SEA
THE MALE TASMAN BOOBY
MUST BUILD A NEST
SO HE CAN ATTRACT A MATE?
THE TASMAN BOOBIES MATE FOR LIFE
AND UNWANTED SUITORS
ARE QUICKLY CHASED AWAY.
A GREAT NEST BUILDER
FINDS SOME STICKS
AND MOVES THEM INTO PLACE.
THIS SOON CATCHES THE EYE
OF AN INTERESTED FEMALE.
SHE QUICKLY MOVES IN AND THEY
GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER.
A PERFECT ROMANCE FOR
THE PERFECTLY BUILT NEST.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says OKAY, CREATURE FANS TIME
TO GET A BIT PHILOSOPHICAL.
IT'S TIME FOR A
BIT OF REFLECTION,
FOR A BIT OF CONTEMPLATION
AND RUMINATION
WITH OUR FAVOURITE
BLACK AND WHITE,
ROLLIE POLY, BAMBOO EATING,
PONDERING PANDA.

Kids say THE PANDA THAT LIKES TO PONDER.

A panda lying on its back says DO YOU KNOW
WHAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT?
THE SUN.
LIKE, NOT ACTUALLY THE SUN
CAUSE I MEAN IT'S NIGHTTIME
SO THE SUN'S NOT UP,
BUT THINKING ABOUT THE SUN.
I MEAN, THE SUN IS
IN THE SKY
BASICALLY ALL THE TIME, RIGHT?
BUT LIKE, IF YOU LOOK AT IT,
YOU RUIN YOUR EYES.
SO, I MEAN, DON'T
YOU THINK IT'S WEIRD
THAT THERE'S THIS HUMUNGOUS,
BRIGHT THING IN THE SKY
NEARLY ALL THE TIME
THAT NOBODY'S
SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT?
WEIRD.

Alfie says AND THAT CREATURE FRIENDS
WAS PONDERING PANDA.
LITTLE BIT ODD.
BUT ALWAYS PHILOSOPHICAL.
NOW SOMETHING
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
IT'S TIME FOR THE
FINAL INSTALMENT.
YES LET'S SEE HOW TRENT
AND TETLEY ARE GETTING ON
WITH LEAVING THE FOOD.
IT'S DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says WE'VE HAD A GREAT TIME.
TETLEY HAS NAILED STEP
ONE AND TWO.
SO HE KNOWS WHAT THE WORD LEAVE
IS OR TO LEAVE HIS FOOD BOWL.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO
WITH STEP THREE
IS PUT THAT BOWL DOWN
AND I'M GOING
TO COUNT TO FIVE
AND SEE IF HE WILL LEAVE IT.
NOW YOU CAN ALSO TELL
HIM TO STAY
BECAUSE HE
UNDERSTANDS STAY.
SO JUST SAY STAY OR LEAVE.
AND THEN ONCE WE GET TO FIVE
HE CAN HAVE IT.
ALL RIGHT.
ASK TETLEY TO SIT.

Trent says SIT.
TETLEY SIT.
GOOD BOY.

Katrina says NOW TELL HIM TO LEAVE.

Trent says LEAVE.

Katrina says NOW BE QUITE FIRM.

Trent says YEP.

Katrina says AND STAY.

Trent says STAY.
STAY.

Katrina quietly counts to five.

Katrina says OKAY, YOU CAN HAVE IT.
COME ON GOOD BOY.
DO YOU WANT YOUR FOOD?
OH WHAT A GOOD BOY.
NOW WE'LL LET HIM EAT IT.
WE WON'T PAT HIM
WHILE HE'S EATING.
WHAT A STAR.
HE DIDN'T EVEN
WANT TO TOUCH IT HUH?
YOU PROUD OF HIM?

Trent says VERY.

Katrina says YOU THINK HE'S DONE A
GOOD JOB TODAY?

Trent says I THINK SO.

Katrina says I THINK HE IS THE LUCKIEST
DOG AROUND
BEING RESCUED BY YOU GUYS.
HE'S GOT A GOOD FAMILY YEAH?

Trent says THANK YOU.

Katrina says THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I HOPE YOU'VE
ENJOYED TODAY'S DOG TRICK.
WE'LL BE BACK NEXT
TIME WITH ANOTHER ONE.

Alfie says WELL CREATURE FANS THAT'S
ALL WE HAVE TIME FOR TODAY.
I HAD A BLAST MEETING
MILLY AND HER CHICKEN.
WHAT A FUN PET.
AND HOW CUTE WERE THOSE
WEDDELL SEALS IN CREATURE QUIZ?
REMEMBER ANIMALS ARE
AWESOME AND PETS ARE PALS.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR KOOKY,
CRAZY, KIND AND CUTE ANIMALS
WITH A BIT OF SLIMY,
SCALY AND SLITHERY THROWN IN
THEN JOIN ME, ALFIE,
NEXT TIME ON CREATURE MANIA.
