(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.
TODAY'S SHOW IS FULL
OF AMAZING ANIMALS,
PLENTY OF PETS AND
DYNAMIC DOG TRICKS.
COMING UP...

Clips show different types of animals as Alfie says WE GO
FISHING WITH AN OWL,
GO BACK TO SCHOOL
WITH THE CICHLID
AND GO UNDER COVER
WITH A STICK INSECT.
WE HAVE A LAUGH
WITH PANDA AND PONY,
AND MEET NYZAREL AND HER
SUPER-CUTE, FLUFFY BUNNY
IN PET AND TELL.
PLUS, LOTS, LOTS MORE.
BUT FIRST LET'S HEAD OVER
TO SEE DR. KATRINA
AND FIND OUT WHAT DOG TRICK
WE'RE GOING TO LEARN TO TODAY
AND WHAT LUCKY YOUNG TRAINER
SHE HAS JOINING HER.
THIS IS 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.

She sits on the grass with 4 brown and white dogs and says HI AND WELCOME TO DOG TRICKS.
I'M DR. KATRINA AND THESE
ARE THE AMAZING WONDER DOGS.
TODAY WE'RE GOING
TO SHOW YOU
HOW TO TEACH YOUR DOG
TO SHAKE PAWS
AND DART IS GOING
TO DEMONSTRATE THIS.
BUT FIRST LET'S LEARN A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER.
MEET DART.
SHE'S THREE YEARS OLD.
HER NICKNAME IS DARTY.
HER FAVOURITE TRICKS ARE PLAYING
QUOITS AND DOING DOGA:
THAT'S YOGA FOR DOGS.
FAVOURITE HOBBIES:
AGILITY AND SWIMMING.
HER NAUGHTIEST DEED IS CHASING
THE KANGAROOS AT HER HOME.
HER OBSESSIONS:
RUNNING AND BEING CUDDLED.
HER FAVOURITE TREAT
IS A DOB OF YOGHURT ON
HER MORNING BREAKFAST.
THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE DART:
FUN, HAPPY AND SWEET.
AND NOW LET'S SEE
DART DEMONSTRATE IT.

Katrina says GOOD GIRL.
SHAKE.
SHAKING PAWS IS AN OLD FAVOURITE
AND IT'S A VERY CUTE
PARTY TRICK.
BEFORE YOU TEACH YOUR DOG
TO SHAKE PAWS
IT DOES NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SIT.
MAKE SURE YOU TEACH
IT ONE PAW FIRST.
YES. GOOD GIRL.
MASTER THAT BEFORE MOVING
ON TO THE SECOND PAW.
HELLO.
OH TWO PAWS.
WELL THAT WAS OUR
EXPERT DEMONSTRATION,
NOW IT'S TIME TO MEET OUR
BUDDING YOUNG DOG TRAINER
AND THEIR DOG.

Katrina sits on a bench with Ethan and his curly haired dog.

Ethan is around 10, with short straight brown hair and wears blue shorts and a burgundy T-shirt.

Katrina says I'M HERE TODAY WITH ETHAN
AND HIS GORGEOUS DOG OBI.
TELL ME A BIT ABOUT OBI.

Ethan says OBI IS TEN MONTHS OLD.

Katrina says AND IS HE A NICELY BEHAVED
PUPPY OR IT HE A BIT NAUGHTY?

Ethan says A BIT NAUGHTY.

Katrina says THEY'RE ALWAYS A BIT
NAUGHTY WHEN THEY'RE PUPPIES.
WHAT DOES HE DO THAT IS NAUGHTY?

Ethan says HE BREAKS INTO FOOD BOXES.

Katrina says OH OBI.
DID YOU DO THAT?
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MORE
ABOUT HAVING A DOG?

Ethan says I LIKE HAVING A DOG BECAUSE
THEY GIVE YOU LOTS OF COMPANY
AND YOU CAN PLAY
GAMES WITH THEM.

Katrina says DO YOU WANT TO LEARN
SOME TRICKS WITH OBI?

Ethan says YES.

Katrina says OKAY OBI LET'S GET TO IT.
TODAY ETHAN AND I ARE GOING TO
TEACH OBI HOW TO SHAKE PAWS.
MOST PUPPIES AND DOGS
WILL ACTUALLY OFFER YOU
IF THEY THINK THERE IS
A TREAT ON HAND.
OKAY SO I'M GOING
TO HOLD MY HAND
IN FRONT OF HIS LEFT PAW
AND IF HE REACHES FOR IT
OR TOUCHES MY HAND
HE GETS THE TREAT.
AND I'M GOING TO HOLD
MY HAND OUT.
OH GOOD BOY.
AND IF HE TOUCHES MY HAND
OR REACHES FOR IT THEN
HE GETS THE TREAT.
HE KNOWS YOU HAVE GOT THE TREAT
SO HOLD YOUR HAND OUT
OVER IN FRONT OF HIS LEFT PAW.
DON'T GIVE IT TO HIM NOW
BECAUSE WE WANT THE OTHER ONE.
YES.
GOOD BOY.
WELL THAT IS STEP ONE.
WE'LL KEEP PRACTISING THAT.
WE'LL BE BACK
SOON WITH STEP TWO,
WHICH IS TO SEE IF HE
WILL OFFER THE OTHER PAW.

Back in the studio, Alfie says I'D LIKE TO SHAKE
HANDS WITH OBI TOO.
WHAT A FUNKY LOOKING DOG.
WE'LL SEE HOW ETHAN AND OBI
ARE DOING WITH THEIR TRAINING
A LITTLE BIT LATER
ON IN THE SHOW.
BUT FIRST IT'S TIME TO EXPAND
THOSE BRAINS OF YOURS.
IT'S AN ANIMAL FACT.

The narrator says DID YOU KNOW
THE BLAKISTON'S FISH OWL IS
THE LARGEST OWL IN THE WORLD.
THEY CAN HAVE A WINGSPAN
OF UP TO TWO METRES.

A bird says WOW.

The narrator says THE
BLAKISTON'S FISH OWL
FEEDS ON A VARIETY
OF AQUATIC PREY.
THE MAIN ONE IS FISH
BUT THEY ALSO EAT FROGS.

A frog says HOLY MOLY.

The narrator says THESE WISE GUYS
EITHER WADE THROUGH
RIVER SHALLOWS
OR PERCH ON THE RIVER BANK
WAITING FOR MOVEMENT
IN THE WATER.
THEY MAY WAIT FOR HOURS
UNTIL AN UNFORTUNATE
PASSER-BY BECOMES DINNER.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.
AND NOW MY CREATURE FRIENDS
IT'S TIME TO MEET A FEW
OTHER PALS OF MINE.
THEY NEED NO INTRODUCTION.
THEY'RE OBSTREPEROUS,
THEY'RE CLAMOROUS,
THEY'RE BOISTEROUS
AND THEY'RE EFFUSIVE.
WHO ELSE COULD I BE
TALKING ABOUT?
YES, IT'S TIME FOR TWO BOBS.

A caption reads "Two Bobs."

Crocodile Bob 1 says IN TODAY'S MEAT EATERS
ANONYMOUS SESSION
WE'RE GOING TO BE USING
MINDFULNESS
TO HELP US WITH OUR MEAT
CRAVINGS.

Crocodile Bob 2 says WHAT'S MINDFULNESS, BOB?

Crocodile Bob 1 says IT'S WHEN YOU REALLY FOCUS ON
WHAT'S HAPPENING
IN THE PRESENT MOMENT.
BOB?

(GROWL)

Crocodile Bob 2 says SORRY BOB,
I WASN'T LISTENING.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?

Crocodile Bob 1 says LET'S START BY TUNING INTO
OUR BODIES.
WITH MINDFULNESS WE WILL
OVERCOME OUR MEAT CRAVINGS.
WON'T WE, BOB?
WON'T WE, BOB?

Crocodile Bob 2 says SORRY BOB, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
MY STOMACH'S TALKING TOO LOUD.

Crocodile Bob 1 says BOB, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Crocodile Bob 2 says JUST LIKE YOU SAID, BOB.
TUNING INTO MY BODY
AND THIS PIG CARCASS TOO.

Crocodile Bob 1 says FIGHT IT, BOB,
FIGHT IT.

Crocodile Bob 2 says NO USE FIGHTING,
IT'S ALREADY DEAD.

Crocodile Bob 1 says NO, I MEAN,
FIGHT THE URGE, BOB.

Crocodile Bob 2 says URGE IS WINNING,
URGE IS WINNING.

Crocodile Bob 1 says NO, BEAT IT.
PUT THE CARCASS DOWN.

Crocodile Bob 2 says I WILL PUT IT DOWN MY THROAT.

(BELCH)

Alfie says THOSE BOBS.
AHH BRILLIANT.
THEY'LL BE BACK LATER
ON WITH MORE CHATTER.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME
FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
LET'S ENGAGE IN
SOME ANIMAL EXPLORATION,
LET'S FEED THAT
BRAIN OF YOURS.
YES, GET READY, IT'S
TIME FOR CREATURE QUIZ.

The narrator says WHICH
OF THESE ANIMALS
CAN STORE FAT ON THEIR
BODIES FOR TIMES OF NEED?
IS IT A, THE GUANACO?
ONE OF THE LARGEST
SOUTH AMERICAN MAMMALS.
B, THE WALLABY?
THE KANGAROO'S
MUCH SMALLER COUSIN.
OR IS IT C,
THE CAMEL?
THE SHIPS OF THE DESERT.
IF YOU GOT C,
FAT STORING CAMELS,
YOU'RE CORRECT.
CAMELS HAVE MADE
AMAZING ADAPTATIONS
TO LIVE IN THE DESERT.
THEIR NOSTRILS ARE LITTLE SLITS
AND THEY HAVE SPECIAL
MUSCLES THAT WILL HELP THEM
CLOSE DURING A SANDSTORM.
THE CAMEL'S
MOST FAMOUS FEATURE
ALSO COMES IN HANDY
IN THE DESERT.
BUT CONTRARY TO POPULAR OPINION,
ITS HUMP DOESN'T STORE WATER.
IT'S ACTUALLY FULL OF FAT,
WHICH IT CAN USE AS A FUEL
SUPPLY IN TIMES OF ADVERSITY.
THE CAMEL CAN LOSE
MORE THAN TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT
OF ITS BODYWEIGHT
AND STILL SURVIVE.
IT CAN GO WITHOUT A DRINK
FOR AN INCREDIBLE EIGHT DAYS.
THE CAMEL IS ALSO A
PROVIDER OF DRINKS
FOR ITS YOUNG AND FOR
PEOPLE LIVING IN DESERTS
AROUND THE WORLD.

A man kisses his camel in the mouth.

The narrator says WOW.
THIS GUY REALLY LOVES HIS CAMEL.
WHILE MANY PEOPLE RELY ON
CAMEL MILK FOR SURVIVAL,
THIS IS THE FIRST EVER
COMMERCIAL CAMEL DAIRY
IN THE UNITED STATES.
CAMEL MILK
IS VERY NUTRITIOUS.
IT CONTAINS TRIPLE THE VITAMIN C
THAT COWS MILK CONTAINS.

A camel chuckles and says FABULOUS.

The narrator says WHICH IS
IMPORTANT IN THE DESERT
BECAUSE THERE AREN'T
ANY FRUITS OR VEGETABLES,
THAT CAN SUPPLY VITAMIN C
TO THE YOUNG BABY CAMELS.
CAMEL MILK HAS
FORTY PERCENT LESS CHOLESTEROL
THAN COW'S MILK
AND WILL KEEP
FOR FOUR MONTHS IN THE FRIDGE.

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
CICHLIDS SPAN A WIDE RANGE
OF BODY SIZES,
FROM SPECIES AS SMALL AS
TWO POINT FIVE CENTIMETRES
ALL THE WAY TO THEIR MUCH
LARGER COUNTERPARTS
APPROACHING ONE METRE IN LENGTH?
NO MATTER THE SIZE THOUGH, ALL
CICHLIDS SHARE SEVERAL TRAITS,
INCLUDING THE FACT THAT THEY
SLEEP WITH THEIR EYES OPEN
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE
EYELIDS.
THE CICHLIDS' OUTER JAW
CAN CONTAIN UP TO SEVEN ROWS
OF TEETH
AND THEY HAVE A SINGLE NOSTRIL
ON EACH SIDE OF THE FOREHEAD.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says AND NOW FOR A CHANGE OF SCENERY.
I THINK WE SHOULD SEE WHAT
ETHAN AND OBI ARE GETTING UP TO
IN DOG TRICKS.
THEY WERE PRACTICING STEP ONE OF
SHAKE PAW WHEN WE LAST SAW THEM.
LET'S SEE HOW THEY'RE GETTING
ON WITH DR. KATRINA.
WILL THEY MASTER STEP TWO?
WELL THERE IS ONLY
ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.
IT'S DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says WELCOME BACK.
WE'RE TEACHING
OBI TO SHAKE PAWS. NOW HE HAS
MASTERED
AND HE IS OFFERING IT
TO ME QUITE FREELY.
NOW WE WANT TO SEE IF HE
WILL ALSO OFFER HIS RIGHT PAW.
PUT THIS HAND IN FRONT OF
HIM AND REACH RIGHT ACROSS.
SO DON'T GIVE IT TO HIM.
THAT'S IT.
NO NEARLY.

Ethan says TAKE YOUR HAND BACK.

Katrina says YES.
GOOD PUPPY.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE JUST GOT
TO BE A LITTLE BIT PATIENT.
WE'RE GOING TO
WE WILL BE BACK
SOON WITH STEP THREE,
WHICH IS GETTING HIM USED TO
HAVING US ACTUALLY HOLD
AND SHAKE THE PAW.
OBI COME BACK.

Alfie says MORE FROM DR. KATRINA AND
DOG TRICKS A BIT LATER ON.
BUT NOW TIME FOR SOME
HILARITY AND MERRIMENT
FROM OUR FAVOURITE
STAND-UP HORSE.
GIVE IT UP FOR THE ONE,
THE ONLY HILARIOUS HORSE.
OUR VERY OWN BAD PUN PONY.

A caption reads "Bad Pun Pony."

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

Bad Pun Pony says WHAT DO
YOU CALL A SLEEPING BULL?
A BULLDOZER.

Ducks chuckle.

Bad Pun Pony says OR HOW
ABOUT THIS?
HOW MANY TICKLES DOES IT
TAKE TO MAKE AN OCTOPUS?
TEN-TACLES.

A bunny chuckles.

Kids say BAD PUN PONY YAY!

Alfie says I DO LOVE A BIT OF
PONY ENTERTAINMENT.
THOUGH SHE IS
SOUNDING A LITTLE HORSE.
MORE PONY PUNS NEXT TIME.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR
SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK SEE IF WE
CAN GUESS THE CORRECT ANIMAL.
IT IS CREATURE QUIZ.

The narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
MAKES THE LOUDEST LOVE CALLS?
IS IT A, THE KAKAPO?
THE WORLD'S ONLY
FLIGHTLESS PARROT.
B, THE PEACOCK?
WHICH REFERS TO A MALE PEAFOWL,
WHILST THE FEMALE
IS CALLED A PEAHEN.
OR IS IT C, THE FRIGATE BIRD?
THE PIRATE OF THE SEA.
IF YOU ANSWERED A, THE
KAKAPO AS OUR LOUD LOVE CALLER,
YOU ARE CORRECT.
THIS KAKAPO IS
WAITING FOR NIGHTFALL
SO THAT HE CAN SING A VERY
LOUD LOVE SONG.
THESE DEEP BOOMING CALLS
CAN TRAVEL MORE THAN
FIVE KILOMETRES.
THEY'RE THE SONG OF THE
LOUDEST BIRD ON THE PLANET.
DURING THE BREEDING SEASON
THIS LARGE, FLIGHTLESS PARROT
MOVES TO A PROMINENT HILLTOP
WITH LOW-GROWING VEGETATION.
HE CLEARS AN AREA TO
ACT AS AN AMPHITHEATRE,
AND THEN INFLATES AN
AIR SAC WITHIN HIS CHEST.
THE RESONATING BOOM ANNOUNCES
TO ANY FEMALES IN THE AREA
THAT HE'S READY TO MATE.
EVERY NIGHT FOR FOUR MONTHS
HE PUMPS OUT UP TO
10,000 OF THESE BOOMING CALLS
AND SEVERAL THOUSAND
WHISTLES AS WELL.
THE CALLS LAST FOR EIGHT HOURS
EVERY NIGHT
FOR THE BREEDING SEASON
AND THE MALES COMPETE
AGAINST EACH OTHER,
WHICH MUST MAKE FOR
SOME RESTLESS NIGHTS
FOR ANYONE UNLUCKY ENOUGH
TO LIVE AROUND THE KAKAPO.

A marsupial says BUTTON IT UP.

The narrator says THE KAKAPO IS
ALSO THE LONGEST LIVING BIRD
IN THE WORLD,
WITH AN AVERAGE
LIFE SPAN OF NINETY YEARS.
SO WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW
LONG THIS LITTLE BIRD LIVES
IT DOES A LOT OF SINGING
TO PASS THE TIME.

The kakapo says WOW.

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 THAT, STILL TO COME
ON CREATURE MANIA.

The narrator says DID YOU KNOW
THAT STICK INSECTS CAN
PLAY DEAD?
A THREATENED STICK INSECT
WILL SUDDENLY DROP
FROM WHEREVER IT'S PERCHED,
FALL TO THE GROUND AND STAY
VERY STILL.
THIS BEHAVIOUR IS
CALLED THANITOSIS
AND CAN SUCCESSFULLY
DISCOURAGE PREDATORS.
A BIRD OR MOUSE MAY
BE UNABLE TO FIND
AN IMMOBILE STICK INSECT
ON THE GROUND
OR PREFER LIVING PREY
AND MOVE ON.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says RIGHT TIME TO CHANGE THINGS UP.
IT'S THE PART OF THE SHOW
I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO.
WE'RE GOING TO MEET A SPECIAL
GUEST AND THEIR SPECIAL PET
RIGHT HERE IN THE HOUSE.
BUT FIRST THERE'S THIS.

(music plays)

A clip shows a dog skateboarding.

A caption reads "It's Pet and Tell."

Alfie sits in the set with Nyzarel and her pet.

Nyzarel is around 11, with long straight brown hair with bangs in pigtails and wears a jean skirt and a red T-shirt.

Alfie says INTRODUCING NYZAREL.
SHE'S BROUGHT IN HER
PET RABBIT TO SHOW US.
HELLO NYZAREL.
HELLO ALFIE.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
SO AHH WHO IS THIS?

Nyzarel says AHH THIS IS MY PET RABBIT
FLUFFY.

Alfie says WOW.
AND AHH WHAT KIND OF
A RABBIT IS FLUFFY?

Nyzarel says HE IS A
NETHERLAND DWARF.

Alfie says HE IS A NETHERLAND DWARF RABBIT.
WOW.
MINI LOP NETHERLAND
DWARF RABBIT.
ONE OF THE MOST
POPULAR PET RABBIT BREEDS.
THEY ARE A GENTLE, CURIOUS PET
AND IF HANDLED CORRECTLY
THEY WILL OFTEN ENJOY
HUMAN COMPANIONSHIP.
THEIR LIFESPAN ON
AVERAGE IS SEVEN TO TEN YEARS.
HOWEVER THE AGE OF ANY RABBIT IS
DEPENDENT ON THE CARE AND DIET.
MINI LOP NETHERLAND
DWARF RABBIT.
SO WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE THING
ABOUT FLUFFY?

Nyzarel says SOMETIMES I JUST TAKE
HIM OUTSIDE
FOR A LITTLE PAT
IN THE HAMMOCK
OR I JUST TALK TO HIM
ON THE TRAMPOLINE.

Alfie says DOES HE LIKE THAT?

Nyzarel says YEAH SOMETIMES.

Alfie says HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT
HE LIKES SOMETHING?

Nyzarel says HE SOMETIMES LICKS ME.

Alfie says CAN YOU SHOW US?

She strokes the rabbit and it licks her.

She says HE'S LICKING.
THAT'S HOW HE LICKS.

Alfie says WOW.
LOOK I'M GOING TO JUMP OUT
OF MY COMFORT ZONES HERE.
DO YOU RECKON I CAN HOLD HIM?

Nyzarel says SURE.

Alfie says OKAY.
LET'S GIVE IT A GO.
SO I HAVE GOT TO HOLD HIM
ONE UNDER THERE
AND ONE UNDER HIS BUM.

Nyzarel says AND PUT HIM
STRAIGHT TO YOUR CHEST.

Alfie says OH MY GOSH.
WOW.
WOW.
OH HE'S SO AMAZING.
LOOK AT HIS EARS.
FLUFFY THE FLUFFY BUNNY.
ARE YOU SURE I CAN'T KEEP HIM?

Nyzarel says I'M SURE.

Alfie says OH.

Nyzarel says CAN I HAVE HIM BACK PLEASE?

Alfie says OKAY YOU CAN HAVE HIM BACK.
OP.

Nyzarel says GOT HIM.

Alfie says WOW.
WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR JOINING US ON THE SHOW
TODAY NYZAREL.

Nyzarel says THANKS ALFIE.

Alfie says AND THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING US
TO YOUR WONDERFUL RABBIT FLUFFY.

Nyzarel says YOU'RE WELCOME ALFIE.

Alfie says HE'S SUPER CUTE.
SPEAKING OF CUTE.
CHECK THIS OUT.

The narrator says WHAT'S MORE
ADORABLE THAN A LABRADOR?
IF YOU ANSWERED A
LABRADOR ON A SKATEBOARD,
YOU'RE A BIG WINNER.

A monkey says ALL RIGHT.

The narrator says YOU NEVER SEE AN
ALLIGATOR ON A SKATEBOARD...
[ALLIGATOR WHINES]

The narrator says OR EVEN A KOALA.
THIS SUPER COOL
LABRADOR CAN DO IT ALL.
SHE EVEN MAKES PHONE CALLS.

An operator says WE'RE SORRY
YOUR CALL COULD NOT BE
COMPLETED AS DIALED.

The narrator says AHH,
THEY'RE JUST...

Kids say TOO CUTE.

Alfie says WE'LL HAVE MORE
OF THAT NEXT TIME.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR
SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
LET'S HAVE A BIT OF
ANIMAL ENLIGHTENMENT,
A BIT OF EXPLORATION AND
FEED THAT BRAIN OF YOURS.
IT'S CREATURE QUIZ.

The narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
LIVES IN WETLANDS?
IS IT A, THE VERY APPROPRIATELY
NAMED ROYAL SPOONBILL?
B, THE LUMHOLTZ'S
TREE KANGAROO?

A tree kangaroo jumps on a branch and almost falls.

The narrator says WOW, CAREFUL NOW
YOU MIGHT GET HURT.
OR C, THE GREEN TREE ANT?
ARE THERE GREEN TREES
IN WETLANDS?
IT MIGHT BE A CLUE.
IF YOU ANSWERED A,
THE ROYAL SPOONBILL
AS OUR WETLANDS DWELLING FRIEND,
THEN YOU ARE CORRECT.
THE ROYAL SPOONBILL CAN BE
FOUND IN WETLANDS IN AUSTRALIA,
PAPUA NEW GUINEA, INDONESIA, THE
SOLOMON ISLANDS AND NEW ZEALAND.
IT EATS FISH, SHELLFISH,
CRABS AND AMPHIBIANS,
CATCHING ITS PREY BY MAKING
A SIDE-TO-SIDE MOVEMENT
WITH ITS BILL,
WHILE WADING
THROUGH SHALLOW WATER.
THE WATER NEEDS TO BE ABOUT AS
DEEP AS THE LENGTH OF ITS BILL,
WHICH IT USES, LIKE A
SPOON, TO STIR THE SHALLOWS,
DISLODGING ITS PREY.
THE ROYAL SPOONBILL ALSO
HAS ORGANS INSIDE ITS BEAK,
WHICH DETECT VIBRATIONS OF PREY.
THIS MEANS IT DOESN'T NEED TO
BE ABLE SEE TO CATCH ITS FOOD
SO IT CAN HUNT BY DAY OR NIGHT.

A caption reads "Two Bobs."

Praying Mantis Bob 1 says WITH YOUR EYES OPEN SETTLE
INTO THE SILENCE
OF YOUR OWN CALM INNER BEING.
OM!

Praying Mantis Bob 2 says OH YEAH, THIS BEAT IS MY JAM.

Praying Mantis Bob 1 says AHH EXCUSE ME BOB,
COULD YOU TURN THAT DOWN PLEASE?
I AM TRYING TO MEDITATE.
THANK YOU.
NOW EVERYTHING IS SILENT.
EVERYTHING IS...

(music continues)

Praying Mantis Bob 1 says BOB?
BOB?

Praying Mantis Bob 1 punches Praying Mantis Bob 2.

Praying Mantis Bob 2 says OW.

Praying Mantis Bob 1 says BOB I AM TRYING TO FIND
MY TRANQUIL BREEZE HERE.

Praying Mantis Bob 2 says I THOUGHT YOU SAID TURN IT UP.
(FARTS)

Praying Mantis Bob 1 says OH DID YOU JUST SOIL
MY TRANQUIL BREEZE BOB?

Praying Mantis Bob 2 says NO, I ENRICHED IT.
A LITTLE.
(FARTS)
WELL A LOT.
OKAY THAT'S A LOT.

Praying Mantis Bob 1 says OH.
OH BOB.
I AM NOT BREATHING THAT IN.

Alfie says AH, 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
BOTH THE AMAZONIAN AROWANA AND
PIRARUCU FISH CAN BREATHE AIR?
HOWEVER ONLY THE PIRARUCU IS
A DEPENDENT AIR BREATHER
AND CAN BE SEEN GULPING AIR
FROM THE SURFACE.
DURING THE DRY SEASON THE WATER
IN THE AMAZON DRIES UP SO MUCH
THAT THERE'S ONLY SMALL
POOLS FOR IT TO LIVE IN.
BUT THIS BIG MOUTH
PREFERS OXYGEN POOR WATERS
WHERE THE OTHER FISH
WILL BE SLUGGISH AND SLOW,
WHICH MAKES FOR A QUICK MEAL.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says WHAT A GREAT FACT HUH?
ALL RIGHT CREATURE FANS, TIME
TO GET A BIT PHILOSOPHICAL.
IT'S TIME FOR A
BIT OF DELIBERATION,
A BIT OF COGITATION
AND SPECULATION.
LET'S HAVE A BIT OF ANALYSIS
WITH OUR FAVOURITE
BLACK AND WHITE,
ROLLIE POLY, BAMBOO EATING,
PONDERING PANDA.

A kid says THE PANDA THAT LIKES TO PONDER.

A panda lies on its back says HOW WEIRD IS SLEEP?
I MEAN, YOU NEVER
ACTUALLY SEE YOURSELF ASLEEP,
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW
YOU'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ASLEEP?
WHAT IF YOU'VE ACTUALLY
BEEN AWAKE THE WHOLE TIME
BUT, LIKE, YOU JUST
CAN'T REMEMBER?
OR WHAT IF WHEN YOU
THINK YOU'RE AWAKE
BUT YOU'RE ACTUALLY STILL ASLEEP
BUT DREAMING THAT YOU'RE AWAKE?
WOW.
WHAT IF THIS IS A DREAM?
BUT WHY WOULD I BE DREAMING
ABOUT THINKING ABOUT SLEEP
WHEN I COULD BE DREAMING
ABOUT EATING BAMBOO?
OH WAIT.
I AM.

Alfie says SO WEIRD.
SO WEIRD.
SO WEIRD.
TIME TO HEAD BACK OVER
TO DOG TRICKS
AND SEE HOW ETHAN AND OBI
ARE GETTING ON
WITH LEARNING TO SHAKE PAWS.
IT'S DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says WELCOME BACK.
WE'RE TEACHING
OBI TO SHAKE PAWS. HE'S BEEN
FANTASTIC.
HE IS HAPPILY SHAKING
HIS LEFT AND RIGHT PAWS.
SO NOW WE WANT TO GET HIM
COMFORTABLE
WITH HAVING HIS PAW
VERY GENTLY HELD.
SO OBI I WILL GET HIM
TO OFFER A PAW.
THAT ONE WILL DO.
AND I JUST GENTLY HOLD IT
AND REWARD HIM WHILE...
I JUST GENTLY HOLD IT
AND REWARD HIM FOR
BEING COMFORTABLE.
GOOD BOY.
ONE MORE TIME.
THAT ONE'S FINE TOO.
SHAKE THE PAW.
SO IT IS JUST GENTLY HOLDING HIM
AND REWARDING HIM WITH
LOTS OF TREATS
FOR BEING COMFORTABLE.
GOOD BOY.
GIVE YOU SOME CHICKEN.
THERE YOU GO.
ANY PAW IS FINE.
JUST SHAKE.
GOOD BOY.

Now Ethan tires.

Katrina says SO JUST GENTLY, VERY GENTLY.
NEVER PULL OR SQUEEZE.
WHAT A STAR.
HOW DO YOU THINK
OBI HAS GONE TODAY?

Ethan says VERY WELL.

Katrina says YEAH. DO YOU THINK
HE ENJOYS TRAINING?

Ethan says YEAH.

Katrina says DO YOU THINK YOU WILL DO
MORE TRAINING AT HOME?

Ethan says YEAH.

Katrina says BOTH PAWS.
OKAY,
EXCELLENT.
WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN A GREAT TEAM.
OBI IS SO RIDICULOUSLY CUTE.
I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED
TODAY'S DOG TRICK.
WE WILL BE BACK
NEXT TIME WITH MORE.

Alfie says WELL GUYS THAT'S IT
FOR TODAY'S SHOW.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED
WATCHING ETHAN AND OBI,
AND MEETING NYZAREL
AND HER RABBIT.
HOW AWESOME WERE
THOSE CAMELS TOO?
IF YOU'RE AFTER
SOME MORE FOUR LEGGED,
SIX LEGGED, EIGHT LEGGED,
OR NO LEGGED ANIMALS.
WHETHER THEY'RE FURRY,
FEATHERED, SCALY OR HAIRY
THEN THERE'S ONLY
ONE PLACE TO COME.
AND REMEMBER ANIMALS ARE
AWESOME AND PETS ARE PALS.
I'M ALFIE.
JOIN ME NEXT TIME
ON CREATURE MANIA.
