(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.
THE PLACE WITH
ALL THE FUN FILLED,
FANTASTIC AND FUNNY.
COMING UP...

Clips show different types of animals as Alfie saysWE CHECK OUT
THE FASTEST LAND ANIMAL,
THE CHEETAH,
MEET THE BIGGEST FISH
IN THE SEA,
THE WHALE SHARK
AND GET WOBBLY
WITH THE SPECTACULAR COMB JELLY.
WE HAVE A LAUGH
WITH PANDA AND PONY,
AND FIND OUT WHAT ALL THE HOP
IS ABOUT WITH PET RABBITS
IN PET AND TELL.
PLUS LOTS, LOTS MORE.
BUT FIRST IT'S TIME TO HEAD
OVER TO DR. KATRINA
AND THE WONDER DOGS
AND FIND OUT WHAT TRICK
SHE'LL BE TEACHING TODAY.
IT'S TIME FOR 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 I'M JOINED
BY THE INCREDIBLE WONDER DOGS.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU
HOW TO TEACH YOUR DOG TO
GO TO THEIR MAT
AND FLYNNY IS GOING TO
DEMONSTRATE THIS ONE.
LET'S TAKE A MOMENT
TO LEARN ABOUT HIM.
MEET FLYNN,
HE'S EIGHT YEARS OLD.
HIS NICKNAMES ARE
MISTER MAN AND FLYNNY.
HE'S AN AGILITY CHAMPION AND
HAS HEAPS OF OBEDIENCE TITLES.
HE'S DONE LOTS OF
TV COMMERCIALS
AND STAGE SHOW PERFORMANCES,
AND FLIES ALL OVER AUSTRALIA
FOR WORK AND FUN.
HIS FAVOURITE TRICKS
INCLUDE HIDING HIS FACE,
CROSSING HIS PAWS AND
ROLLING UP IN HIS BLANKEY.
HIS FAVOURITE HOBBIES: WELL
HE KNOWS HOW TO WIN HEARTS
WITH HIS DASHING
LOOKS AND CHARISMA.
HE ALSO LOVES SWIMMING,
HIS BALL ON THE ROPE,
AGILITY AND SLEEPING
UPSIDE DOWN ON THE LOUNGE.

Clips show the dog doing its favourite activities.

Katrina says HIS PET HATES ARE GETTING
INTO TROUBLE
AND BEING KEPT UP
PAST HIS BEDTIME.
HIS FAVOURITE TREAT IS CHEESE.
THREE WORDS TO
DESCRIBE FLYNN:
HANDSOME, CLEVER AND LOYAL.
NOW LET'S SEE FLYNN DEMONSTRATE.

A caption reads "Go to your mat."

Flynn sits on a mat and Katrina gives him a treat as she says TEACHING YOUR DOG TO GO TO
THEIR MAT OR BED
IS A VERY USEFUL SKILL
TO TEACH THEM.
IT'S A SAFE AND COMFORTABLE
PLACE FOR THEM TO GO
AND IT MEANS THAT YOU CAN
SEND THEM THERE
WHENEVER YOU WANT TO,
AT HOME OR IN A NEW ENVIRONMENT,
LIKE WHEN YOU'RE ON HOLIDAYS.
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 Charlotte and her dog.

Charlotte is around 10, with blond hair in two ponytails and wears dark shorts and a green T-shirt.

Katrina says I'M HERE TODAY WITH CHARLOTTE
AND HER GORGEOUS DOG RILEY.
CHARLOTTE TELL ME
A BIT ABOUT RILEY.

Charlotte says HE IS A GOLDEN RETRIEVER
AND HE'S VERY GREEDY.
UMM WE DON'T KNOW
HOW OLD HE IS
BECAUSE HE CAME FROM
GOLDEN RETRIEVER RESCUE.

Katrina says AND WHAT'S HE LIKE AS A PET?

Charlotte says WELL HE IS VERY FRIENDLY
AND UMM YEAH THE ONLY BAD
THING HE DOES
IS REALLY STEAL MY FOOD SO.

Katrina says ARE YOU READY TO GO LEARN
SOME TRICKS?

Charlotte says YEAH.

Katrina says EXCELLENT.
WE'RE GOING TO TEACH RILEY
TO LIE ON HIS BED
BUT YOU CAN ALSO TEACH
YOUR DOG TO LIE ON A MAT
OR GO TO AN AREA OF THE HOUSE
THAT YOU WANT THEM TO GO TO.
NOW CHARLOTTE THERE'S A
COUPLE OF IMPORTANT THINGS HERE.
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU
A REALLY TASTY TREAT.
SO WE'VE GOT SOME CHEESE,
'CAUSE I THINK RILEY WILL
REALLY LIKE THAT.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO GUIDE HIM.
SO HOLDING THAT TREAT
QUITE CLOSE TO HIS NOSE
BUT NOT LETTING HIM HAVE IT.
GUIDE HIM ONTO THE BED
AND ASK HIM TO SIT
AND WHEN HE SITS WITH THOSE
FOUR FEET ON THE GROUND
THEN HE GETS THE TREAT.

Charlotte says SO AS SOON AS HE SITS DOWN ON
THE BED I GIVE HIM THE TREAT.

Katrina says ABSOLUTELY.
DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A GO?

Charlotte says OKAY.

Katrina says HOLD IT CLOSE TO HIS NOSE.

Charlotte says RILEY.
RILEY.
ON YOUR BED.
SIT.

Katrina says GOOD BOY.

Charlotte says GOOD BOY.

Katrina says PERFECT RILEY.
THE KEY IS USING LOTS OF FOOD
REWARDS AND PRACTICE OFTEN.
NOW WE'VE GOT A
BIT MORE WORK TO DO.
WE'LL GO BACK TO YOU GUYS
IN THE STUDIO
AND WE'LL CATCH UP WITH
CHARLOTTE AND RILEY AGAIN SOON.

Alfie says WHAT A GREAT TEAM
CHARLOTTE AND RILEY MAKE.
WE'LL CHECK BACK IN
WITH DR. KATRINA
A LITTLE LATER IN THE SHOW
TO FIND OUT HOW
THEIR TRAINING IS GOING.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO
DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW.
YES CREATURE MANIACS,
IT'S TIME FOR AN ANIMAL FACT.

A caption reads "Did you know?"

The Narrator says DID YOU KNOW
CHEETAHS LIVE MOSTLY IN
THE DRY OPEN GRASSLANDS
OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA?
FEMALE CHEETAHS ARE SOLITARY,
LIVING ALONE OR
WITH THEIR YOUNG.
MALES HOWEVER LIVE IN
SMALL FAMILY GROUPS
OF TWO OR THREE BROTHERS,
KNOWN AS COALITIONS.
ONE WAY THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL
CHEETAHS APART
FROM OTHER BIG CATS
IS BY THE BLACK MARKS
THAT RUN FROM THE INSIDE
CORNERS OF THEIR EYES
DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE EDGES
OF THEIR MOUTH.
CALLED TEAR LINES, THEY HELP
REFLECT THE GLARE OF THE SUN
WHEN THEY'RE HUNTING
DURING THE DAY.
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 GREGARIOUS,
THEY'RE MOTOR MOUTHED,
THEY'RE CHATTY AND
THEY'RE GOSSIPY.
WHO ELSE COULD I BE
TALKING ABOUT?
YES YOU GUESSED IT.
IT'S TIME FOR THE TWO BOBS.

Kids say TWO BOBS!

Two penguins watch others have fun in the snow.

Penguin Bob 1 says BOB AND BOB HERE
COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM THE
WORLD BELLY FLOP CHAMPIONSHIPS
AT THE ANTARCTIC
AQUATIC CENTRE.
OR AAC AS WE CALL IT.

Penguin Bob 2 says THAT'S RIGHT BOB
AND A LOT OF COMPETITORS
ARE A BIT DISAPPOINTED
BY THE LACK OF
BOUNCE ON THE ICE,
AIN'T THEY BOB?

Penguin Bob 1 says SURE ARE BOB.
THE ICE IS A LITTLE STIFF.
IT HAS BEEN MAKING FOR
SOME VERY PAINFUL LANDINGS.

Penguin Bob 2 says YOU SAID IT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
RUSSIAN BOB BOBORENKO
WHO TOOK A BIG WALLOP IN
HIS EARLIER FINAL.

Penguin Bob 1 says WOW.
HE'S BEEN TAKEN
BY A KILLER WHALE.
THAT'S GOING TO HURT IN
THE MORNING.

Penguin Bob 2 says AND A LITTLE
IN THE AFTERNOON.

Penguin Bob 1 says LOOKS LIKE
THOSE WHALES
ARE RUNNING THEIR
OWN COMPETITION.
OH HE'S BACK.
WOW THOSE WHALES DON'T
EAT RUSSIAN DO THEY BOB?

Alfie chuckles and says MORE FROM THEM LATER ON.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO TEST
YOUR CREATURE COMPREHENSION
AND FEED THAT BRAIN OF YOURS.
THROW ON YOUR THINKING CAP.
IT'S CREATURE QUIZ.

The Narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
HAS THE BEST VISION IN THE DARK?
IS IT A THE GIANT-EYED TARSIER?
B THE VICIOUS TASMANIAN DEVIL?
OR C THE EAGLE-EYED, UM,
WELL, EAGLE?
IF YOU ANSWERED A
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
IT TAKES SPECIAL SENSES TO BE
AT HOME IN THE DARKNESS
BUT THE TARSIER HAS
PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE EYES.
THIS POCKET-SIZED
PRIMATE LIVES ON ISLANDS
IN SOUTH EAST ASIA.

In animation, a Tarsier says DO PA DO.

The Narrator says AND ITS
AMAZING EYES
GIVE IT A TRULY
SPECIAL ADVANTAGE.

The Tarsier says WOW.

The Narrator says WHEN YOU
WANT TO SEE IN THE DARK,
SIZE IS EVERYTHING,
BECAUSE THE BIGGER YOUR EYES,
THE MORE PHOTONS OF
LIGHT YOU CAN LET IN.
THE TARSIER HAS THE
BIGGEST EYES IN THE WORLD...

The Tarsier jumps to eat an insect and says WHOOP!

The Narrator says IN PROPORTION
TO ITS BODY SIZE.
IT'S THE ONLY ANIMAL
IN THE WORLD
THAT LITERALLY HAS EYES
BIGGER THAN ITS STOMACH.
ON THE DARKEST NIGHTS,
WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR
HAND IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE,
A TARSIER CAN PINPOINT AN
INSECT SIX METRES AWAY.
AND IT CAN EVEN
ACCURATELY JUDGE THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN ITSELF AND ITS PREY.

The Tarsier says WOW.

The Narrator says TARSIERS SEE SO
WELL IN THE DARK
THAT THEY CAN LEAP MORE THAN
TWENTY TIMES THEIR BODY LENGTH
AND LAND WITH PINPOINT ACCURACY.
THAT WOULD BE LIKE A HUMAN
JUMPING ACROSS A TENNIS COURT
IN COMPLETE DARKNESS
AND LANDING ON A DOLLAR COIN.

Alfie says ALL RIGHT GUYS, STILL TO COME
ON TODAY'S SHOW.
WE HAVE MORE CANINE
CRAZINESS IN DOG TRICKS,
LOADS OF LAUGHS
WITH BAD PUN PONY,
A TRUCKLOAD 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
THAT WHALE SHARKS NEED TO
BE CONSTANTLY SWIMMING
TO STAY ALIVE?
THIS IS BECAUSE THEY ONLY
BREATHE WHILE THEY SWIM.
THAT'S RIGHT.
A WHALE SHARK MUST
CONTINUOUSLY SWIM OR DIE.
LIKE OTHER FISH, SHARKS
BREATHE THROUGH THEIR GILLS,
WHICH ARE RESPIRATORY ORGANS.
AS WATER PASSES OVER THE GILLS,
TINY BLOOD VESSELS EXTRACT MUCH
NEEDED OXYGEN FROM THE WATER.
SO BASICALLY TO STAY ALIVE
THE WHALE SHARK'S JUST GOT
TO KEEP SWIMMING.

A Whale Shark says I'M HAVING A WHALE
OF A TIME.

The Narrator says AND THAT'S...

Kids say ...AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says WHALE SHARKS ARE JUST
THE COOLEST FISH IN THE SEA
AREN'T THEY?
AND THEY'RE SO IMMENSE.
NOW TIME FOR SOME
MORE DOG TRAINING.
YES THAT'S RIGHT.
LET'S HEAD OVER TO SEE
DR. KATRINA AND CHARLOTTE
AND SEE IF THEY'RE MANAGING TO
TEACH RILEY TO GO TO HIS MAT.
LET'S FIND OUT.
IT'S TIME FOR STEP TWO
OF DOG TRICKS.

Back in the yard, Katrina says WE'RE HERE WITH CHARLOTTE
AND RILEY
AND WE'RE TEACHING RILEY TO LAY
ON HIS BED WHEN WE ASK HIM TO.
NOW THESE GUYS HAVE
ALREADY NAILED THE SIT.
SO WHEN RILEY SITS NICELY
ON THE BED HE GETS A TREAT.
THE NEXT STEP IS TO
TEACH HIM TO LAY DOWN.
BECAUSE LAY DOWN IS A BIT
MORE COMFORTABLE
AND MEANS THAT HE'LL BE
ABLE TO STAY THERE
FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME.
SO CHARLOTTE'S GOING
TO ASK HIM TO LAY DOWN.
WHEN HE DOES OR IF HE DOES,
HE GETS THE TREAT.
IF HE DOESN'T HE DOESN'T
GET THAT TREAT.

Charlotte says I THINK HE KNOWS
THAT HE'S MEANT TO LAY DOWN
ON HIS BED NOW.

Katrina says I THINK HE DOES.
SO MAKE SURE YOU TELL HIM AGAIN.
ON YOUR BED.
THEN SAY SIT AND THEN LAY DOWN.

Charlotte says RILEY.
RILEY.
ON YOUR BED.
SIT.
NOW DOWN.
GOOD BOY.

Katrina says BACK TO THE STUDIO
AND WE'LL SEE YOU SOON.

Alfie says AND NOW TIME FOR SOME
GIGGLES AND CHUCKLES
AND MAYBE EVEN A BIT
OF SNORTING TOO.

He snorts and chuckles.

Alfie says WITH OUR FAVOURITE FUNNY HORSE.
GIVE IT UP FOR THE ONE,
THE ONLY BAD PUN PONY.

(music plays)

A caption reads "It's Bad Pun Pony."

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

Bad Pun Pony says WHY ARE
FISH SO BAD AT BASKETBALL?
THEY KEEP GETTING
STUCK IN THE NET.
STAYING AQUATIC,
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
A FISH AND A PIANO?
YOU CAN'T TUNE A FISH.

Kids say BAD PUN PONY YAY!

Alfie says WE'LL HAVE MORE FUN WITH OUR
PUNNING PONY ON THE NEXT SHOW.
BUT NOW TIME FOR A
CHANGE OF SCENERY.
LET'S GO EXPLORE THE
AMAZING ANIMAL KINGDOM.
IT'S TIME TO TEST
YOUR KNOWLEDGE
WITH ANOTHER CREATURE QUIZ.

The Narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
REGURGITATES WATER TO
FEED THEIR YOUNG?
IS IT A THE PAINTED STORK?
WOW THEY REALLY DO LOOK
LIKE THEY'VE BEEN PAINTED,
DON'T THEY?
B THE SPECTACLED BEAR?
NO, HE'S NOT WEARING GLASSES.
THAT'S JUST THE COLOUR
OF THE FUR ON HIS FACE.
OR C THE SHEEP?
ARE THEY THE FUNNEL
THROUGH WHICH WATER FLOWS
TO THEIR YOUNG?
WELL IF YOU ANSWERED A THE
PAINTED STORK YOU'RE CORRECT.
BHARATPUR IS INDIA'S
MOST FAMOUS WETLAND.
ITS MONSOON FILLED MARSHES
ARE NOW TEEMING WITH FISH.
FOOD FOR THOUSANDS OF WATER
BIRDS THAT HAVE COME TO BREED.
EGRETS, HERONS AND CORMORANTS.
BUT THE MOST SPECTACULAR MONSOON
VISITORS ARE THE PAINTED STORKS.
CONSTANT PREENING KEEPS
THEM LOOKING THEIR BEST.
IN THE PAINTED STORK COLONY,
EVERY NEST HAS TWO
OR THREE CHICKS.
ON THE EXPOSED
TREETOPS IT CAN GET VERY HOT.
THE ADULT BIRDS KEEP THEIR BILLS
OPEN TO PREVENT OVERHEATING.
THEY PROTECT THEIR DOWNY CHICKS
FROM THE SUN WITH THEIR WINGS.
BUT DESPITE THE SHADING
THE CHICKS GET EXTREMELY THIRSTY
AND THEY'RE CONSTANTLY
BEGGING FOR RELIEF.
WITHOUT WATER THE CHICKS
WILL DIE,
SO EVERY FEW HOURS
A PARENT BIRD WILL FLY DOWN
TO THE MARSH BELOW AND FILL UP
AND THEN FERRY WATER BACK
TO THEIR NEST.
WITH THE DILIGENT CARE OF BOTH
PARENTS THE CHICKS WILL THRIVE.

A stork makes gagging sounds.

The Narrator says GROSS.
THIS SHORT SEASON OF RAIN
IN NORTH-WESTERN INDIA
IS PRACTICALLY OVER IN ONLY
A MATTER OF SIX WEEKS
BUT IT HAS PROVIDED
THE PERFECT ENVIRONMENT
FOR THESE PAINTED STORKS TO
WELCOME THEIR OFFSPRING
INTO THE WORLD.
THANKS TO THE BOUNTY
OF THE INDIAN MONSOON
A WHOLE NEW GENERATION
OF PAINTED STORKS
IS READY TO TAKE FLIGHT.

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 GUEST
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
COMB JELLIES AS WELL
AS JELLYFISH
MADE AN IMPORTANT STEP IN
EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY?
THEY ARE THE EARLIEST KNOWN
ANIMALS TO HAVE BODIES
WITH ORGANIZED TISSUES
AND A NERVOUS SYSTEM
AND THEY'RE THE FIRST ANIMALS
KNOWN TO SWIM USING MUSCLES
INSTEAD OF DRIFTING
WITH THE WAVES.
THE OLDEST ANCESTORS
OF MODERN DAY JELLIES
LIVED AT LEAST 500 MILLION
YEARS AGO
AND MAYBE AS LONG
AS 700 MILLION YEARS AGO.
THAT MAKES JELLIES THREE TIMES
AS OLD AS THE FIRST DINOSAURS.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say ...AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says ALL RIGHT CREATURE MANIACS
WE'VE COME TO THE PART OF THE
SHOW I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO.
WHERE I GET TO MEET A SPECIAL
GUEST AND THEIR SPECIAL PET
RIGHT HERE IN THE HOUSE.
BUT FIRST THERE'S THIS.

A clip shows a baby elephant lying on the grass and moving its trunk around.

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

Alfie sits in the studio with Eloise and her pet. Eloise is in her early teens, with blond hair in a ponytail. She wears glasses, blue jeans and a blue polo-shirt.

Alfie says INTRODUCING ELOISE.
SHE'S BROUGHT IN HER
AMAZING PET TO SHOW US.
HELLO ELOISE.

Eloise says HI ALFIE.

Alfie says SO AHH WHO IS THIS?

Eloise says THIS IS TRUFFLE.

Alfie says AND WHAT KIND OF A
RABBIT IS TRUFFLE?

Eloise says HE'S A DUTCH RABBIT.

Alfie says WHAT MAKES HIM A DUTCH RABBIT?

Eloise says UMM IT'S MORE OF THE STRIPE
THAT'S LIKE A COLLAR OR
A BELT AROUND HIM.

Alfie says DUTCH RABBIT.
DUTCH RABBITS ARE EXTREMELY
SOCIAL AND CLEVER.
THEY ARE EASILY TRAINED.
MAKING THEM THE PERFECT
HOUSE PET.
RABBITS TEND TO BE MOST
ACTIVE IN THE MORNING AND NIGHT.
LIKE CATS THEY LOVE TO
SLEEP DURING THE DAY.
THE DUTCH BUNNY IS
NOT DUTCH AT ALL.
IT'S GENETIC ROOTS
TRACK BACK TO ENGLAND.
THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF A DUTCH
RABBIT IS FIVE TO EIGHT YEARS.
DUTCH RABBIT.
SO WHAT DO YOU FEED HIM?

Eloise says WE FEED HIM HAY AND LEAFY
GREENS LIKE KALE AND BOK CHOY.
BUT WE ALSO THROW IN SOME CARROT
AND SWEET POTATO PEEL AND GRAPES
AND SOMETIMES THEY GET CORN.

Alfie says DOES HE LIKE APPLE?

Eloise says YES.

Alfie says YEAH?

Eloise says YEAH HE LOVES IT.

Alfie says WELL I HAVE SOME APPLE.
CAN I GIVE HIM SOME?

Eloise says YEAH.

Alfie says SWEET.
He feeds him and says HE'S A FAST MUNCHER.
SO YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN
TOGETHER FOR EIGHT YEARS.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE
GROWING UP WITH TRUFFLE?

Eloise says WELL WHEN I HAD
SOME TEETH REMOVED
I KIND OF LOOKED LIKE
A RABBIT MYSELF
AND SO I GUESS THAT KIND
OF BONDED US EVEN MORE.
MY BROTHER AND I,
WE JUST ADORE HIM.
HE IS LIKE A LITTLE BROTHER TO
US AS WELL AS OUR OTHER RABBITS.

Alfie says THAT'S AWESOME.
SO HE HAS KIND OF LIKE GROWN
UP TO BE LIKE A BEST FRIEND?

Eloise says YES HE IS MORE OF A
HUMAN THAN A RABBIT.

Alfie says WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE
THING ABOUT TRUFFLE?

Eloise says WELL HE HOPS UP AND
DOWN THE STAIRS
AND THAT'S JUST
HILARIOUS TO WATCH.
UMM BUT IF YOU GIVE HIM
JUST LIKE A GRAPE
THEN HE'LL GO CRAZY
AND HE'LL START SEARCHING
IN YOUR HANDS
TRYING TO FIND MORE FOOD.

Alfie says SO YOU LOVE JUST
BEING CHEEKY WITH HIM?

Eloise says YES.

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

Eloise says THANKS ALFIE.

Alfie says AND THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING US
TO YOUR WONDERFUL PET TRUFFLE.

Eloise says YOU'RE WELCOME.

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

The Narrator says HORSES:
STRONG, MAJESTIC, PROUD.
THEN THERE'S THE ADORABLE
MINI HORSE.

A Crowd says OH.

The Narrator says THESE
GUYS ARE SUPER TINY.
BUT LITTLE KIDS
CAN STILL RIDE THEM.
THEY COME IN ALL SORTS OF
COLOURS AND LOVE HAVING SNACKS.
JUST MAKE SURE THEY VISIT
THE DENTIST.
THE MINI HORSE IS JUST...

Kids say ...TOO CUTE.

Alfie says NEXT ON THE SHOW
IT'S TIME TO EXPLORE THE
ENORMOUS CREATURE KINGDOM
AND FIND OUT SOME FASCINATING
FACTS IN CREATURE QUIZ.

The Narrator says WHICH OF THESE
ANIMALS CAN SMELL LIKE PEPPER?
IS IT A THE DECEPTIVELY
SCARY LOOKING
JAPANESE GIANT SALAMANDER?
B THE PRICKLY ECHIDNA?
OR IS IT C THE
LITTLE RED FLYING FOX?
IF YOU ANSWERED A
YOU'RE CORRECT.
THE GIANT JAPANESE SALAMANDER
IS ALSO CALLED THE PEPPER FISH
BECAUSE WHEN THREATENED
IT PRODUCES A WHITE FLUID
THAT SMELLS LIKE PEPPER.

A Frog says OKAY.

The Narrator says DESPITE ITS RUGGED LOOKS
THE GIANT SALAMANDER IS QUITE
HARMLESS TO HUMANS.
THIS GIANT AMPHIBIAN
FEEDS ON A VARIETY OF PREY,
CATCHING THEM WITH A RAPID
SIDEWAYS SNAP OF THE MOUTH.
THE JAPANESE GIANT SALAMANDER
IS GENERALLY ACTIVE AT NIGHT.
THEY HAVE POOR SIGHT
BUT CAN DETECT PREY
FROM THE VIBRATION SENSORS IN
THEIR FACE AND BODY.
THEY CAN GREATLY EXPAND
THE THROAT REGION
AND WHEN THEY POP THE MOUTH OPEN
THIS CAUSES SUCTION
WHICH DRAGS IN WATER AND
ANYTHING SWIMMING IN IT.

A caption reads "Two Bobs."

Two alpacas stand in the woods.

Alpaca Bob 1 says HEY BOB.

Alpaca Bob 2 says YES BOB.

Alpaca Bob 1 sings IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND
YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS.

Alpaca Bob 2 says WHAT?

Alpaca Bob 1 sings IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND
YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS.

Alpaca Bob 2 says I DON'T HAVE HANDS BOB.

Alpaca Bob says OH.
He sings IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU
KNOW IT STAMP YOUR FEET.
COME ON BOB IF YOU'RE HAPPY
AND YOU KNOW IT STAMP YOUR FEET.

Alpaca Bob 2 says NO.

Alpaca Bob 1 says OH.
He sings IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT
AND YOU REALLY WANT TO SHOW IT.

Alpaca Bob 2 says I DON'T WANT TO BOB.

Alpaca Bob 1 says OH.

Alpaca Bob 2 says I DON'T
WANT TO SHOW IT.
DON'T MAKE ME SHOW IT BOB.

Alpaca Bob 1 sings IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND
YOU KNOW IT LOOK ALL GRUMPY.

Alpaca Bob 2 says OH COME ON.

Alpaca Bob 1 sings IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND
YOU KNOW IT LOOK ALL GRUMPY.
He says THAT'S IT BOB.
YOU'VE GOT IT BOB.

Alpaca Bob 2 farts.

Alpaca Bob 1 says ARE YOU HAPPY NOW BOB?

Alpaca Bob 2 says YES.

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 PONDERING
FROM OUR ROLY POLY PAL,
THE ONE, THE ONLY
PONDERING PANDA.
AND TODAY'S FINAL VISIT
FROM 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
THAT MONGOOSES ARE
FURRY LITTLE CREATURES
WITH SHARP FACES
AND FLUFFY TAILS?
DESPITE WHAT PEOPLE
THINK THEY ARE NOT RODENTS.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY OMNIVORES.
SO THEIR DIETS CONSIST OF
BOTH PLANTS AND ANIMALS.
MONGOOSES USUALLY LIVE IN
BURROWS THAT HAVE BEEN DESERTED.
THEY HARDLY EVER DIG THEIR OWN.
THEY SPEND THE DAY
CHATTING AWAY,
EVEN USING SYLLABLE AND
VOWEL COMBOS MUCH LIKE HUMANS.
AND WHEN A
MONGOOSE SENSES DANGER,
THEY CAN EVEN
SOUND AN ALARM CALL.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say ...AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says ALL RIGHT CREATURE FANS TIME
TO GET A BIT PHILOSOPHICAL
WITH A BEAR WHO
LIKES TO BROOD,
HE LIKES TO WEIGH UP
AND CHEW OVER
AND STUDY AND REVIEW.
YES IT'S OUR FAVOURITE
BAMBOO-EATING,
ROLLIE POLY,
ADORABLE PONDERING PANDA.

A caption reads "Pondering Panda."

A kid says THE PANDA THAT LIKES TO PONDER.

A panda eats bamboo leaves and says DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT HOW
WEIRD HUMANS ARE?
LIKE, REALLY THINK
ABOUT HOW WEIRD HUMANS ARE?
I MEAN THEY SHOWER
AFTER THEY GO SWIMMING.
HOW WEIRD IS THAT?
LIKE, THEY GO
SWIMMING AND GET WET,
THEN DRY THEMSELVES WITH
ONE OF THOSE TOWEL THINGS,
JUST SO THEY CAN GET IN
THE SHOWER
AND GET WET ALL OVER AGAIN.
WET, DRY, WET.
OH, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME.

Alfie chuckles and says LET'S MOVE ON.
TIME FOR THE FINAL STEP
OF TODAY'S TRAINING.
LET'S FIND OUT IF CHARLOTTE
CAN GET RILEY TO GO TO HIS MAT
AND STAY THERE.
IT'S DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says WE'RE HERE WITH CHARLOTTE
AND RILEY
AND WE'RE TEACHING RILEY TO LIE
ON HIS BED WHEN WE ASK HIM TO.
BUT PLEASE REMEMBER IF YOU ARE
GOING TO TEACH YOUR DOG TRICKS
OR DO ANY TRAINING AT HOME MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE ADULT SUPERVISION.
OKAY YOU READY?
SO DO YOU WANT TO GET HIM TO
SIT ONE MORE TIME
AND TELL HIM TO GO ON THE BED
AT THE SAME TIME?

Charlotte says OKAY ON YOUR BED RILEY.
SIT.
SIT.
LAY DOWN.
STAY.
GOOD BOY.

Riley follows Charlotte's instructions.

She says YOU DID IT.

Katrina says WELL DONE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
HAVE YOU HAD FUN?

Charlotte says YEAH I HOPE RILEY DOES
THAT AT HOME
INSTEAD OF STEALING MY FOOD.

Katrina chuckles and says I HOPE SO TOO.
WELL CHARLOTTE AND RILEY
HAVE BEEN JUST BRILLIANT.
AND RILEY HAS BEEN
A KEEN LEARNER
AND I THINK IT REALLY DOES HELP
BECAUSE HE'S MOTIVATED
BY FOOD.
THAT'S ALL WE'VE GOT
TIME FOR TODAY.
JOIN US NEXT TIME
FOR MORE DOG TRICKS.

Alfie says AND THAT MY CREATURE MANIACS
IS THE END OF TODAY'S SHOW.
I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED ALL
THE AMAZING ANIMALS
WE'VE SEEN TODAY.
CHARLOTTE WITH HER
GOLDEN RETRIEVER RILEY
AND ELOISE AND
HER SUPER CUTE RABBIT.
NOT TO MENTION ONE OF
MY FAVOURITE ANIMALS
THE WHALE SHARK.
SO REMEMBER ANIMALS ARE
AWESOME AND PETS ARE PALS.
I'M ALFIE AND IF YOU WANT
TO SEE MORE CUTE, RIDICULOUS,
HAIRY AND
HILARIOUS ANIMALS
JOIN ME NEXT TIME
ON CREATURE MANIA.
