(rock'n'roll music plays)

In an animated frame, fast clips show 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 IT'S COMPLETELY
CREATURE CRAZY.
IT'S CREATURE MANIA.
ON TODAY'S EPISODE
WE'VE GOT SOME CRITTERS
TO REALLY DELIGHT.

Clips show different types of animals as Alfie says WE GO
SWIMMING WITH SHARKS,
HOP ALONG WITH SOME RABBITS,
AND GET THE LOW DOWN ON
THE HANUMAN MONKEY.
WE HAVE A LAUGH
WITH PANDA AND PONY
AND MEET XAVIER AND HIS
ICE CREAM EATING CAT
IN PET AND TELL.
PLUS LOTS, LOTS MORE.
WE'VE GOT A JAM PACKED SHOW
COMING YOUR WAY.
BUT FIRST LET'S CHECK
IN WITH DR. KATRINA
AND SEE WHAT TRICK WE'LL BE
LEARNING TODAY
AND WHO SHE HAS COMING
ALONG TO LEARN IT
IN 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 THIS GORGEOUS GANG
IS THE WONDER DOGS.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU
HOW TO TEACH YOUR DOG
TO DO A LEG WEAVE.
FLYNN IS GOING TO
DEMONSTRATE THIS FOR US.
LET'S TAKE A MOMENT TO
LEARN A BIT 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.

Clips show the dog doing its favourite activities.

Katrina says 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.
HIS PET HATES ARE
GETTING IN TROUBLE
AND BEING KEPT UP
PAST HIS BEDTIME.
HIS NAUGHTIES DEED: DEFINITELY
DIGGING THE BIGGEST HOLE
OF ALL THE WONDER DOGS.
HIS FAVOURITE TREAT IS CHEESE.
THREE WORDS TO
DESCRIBE FLYNN:
HANDSOME, CLEVER AND LOYAL.
NOW LET'S SEE FLYNN DEMONSTRATE.

A caption reads "Leg weave."

Flynn walks through Katrina's legs as she walks across the yard.

Katrina says IN.
IN.
THE LEG WEAVE IS
AN ADVANCED TRICK.
IT REQUIRES GOOD
COORDINATION AND PATIENCE.
IT'S A GOOD ONE
FOR SMALLER DOGS.
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 Jayden and his dog.

Jayden is around 11, with short slightly wavy light brown hair and wears white trousers and a burgundy T-shirt.

Katrina says I'M HERE WITH JAYDEN AND
HIS GORGEOUS DOG RUBY.
JAYDEN TELL ME A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT RUBY.

Jayden says RUBY IS THREE.
I PLAY WITH HER.
SHE HAS A SPECIAL TOY,
WHICH IS BASICALLY A BUNCH
OF SOCKS STUCK TOGETHER.

Katrina says OH DO YOU?
NOW TELL US WHAT BREED SHE IS.
BECAUSE I'M SURE A LOT OF
PEOPLE THINK SHE'S A DOBERMAN.
BUT SHE IS NOT IS SHE?

Jayden says RUBY IS A GERMAN PINSCHER.

Katrina says HOW WOULD YOU
DESCRIBE HER PERSONALITY?

Jayden says SHE IS PLAYFUL, CHEEKY,
SOMETIMES CAUTIOUS,
DOESN'T LIKE SMALL FLUFFY DOGS.

Katrina says OKAY WELL THERE IS NO
SMALL FLUFFY DOGS AROUND HERE,
JUST LOTS OF TREATS.
ARE YOU READY TO
DO SOME TRAINING?

Jayden says YEP.

Katrina says EXCELLENT. LET'S GO.
TODAY JAYDEN WE'RE GOING TO
TEACH RUBY THE LEG WEAVE.
SO THIS IS QUITE A FUN TRICK.
IT'S PRETTY EASY TO TEACH.
WE'RE GOING TO START
OFF DOING BABY STEPS.
SO LET'S CALL RUBY.
RUBY.
RUBY.
HELLO SWEET HEART.
SO I HAVE GOT A TREAT IN MY HAND
AND I'M GOING TO LET HER SEE
I'VE GOT THE TREAT
AND THEN I'M JUST GOING
TO SIMPLY
LURE HER THROUGH MY LEG
AND THEN SHE GETS THE TREAT.
THAT IS IT.
THAT IS STEP ONE.
SO IF I GIVE YOU A TREAT
CAN YOU DO THE SAME THING?
SO LEG OPEN.
WE'LL USE YOUR
RIGHT LEG FIRST.
OR YOU CAN DO THAT
ONE IF YOU WANT.
LURE HER THROUGH.
GOOD GIRL.
THEN TELL HER
SHE'S A GOOD GIRL.
THAT IS IT.
RUBY COME THROUGH.
GOOD GIRL.
GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE.
THERE YOU GO.

Jayden says RUBY.

Katrina says PERFECT.
THAT IS STEP ONE.
STEP TWO WILL BE GETTING HER
TO GO THROUGH THE OTHER LEG.
WE'RE GOING TO CROSS BACK TO
THE STUDIO AND WE'LL BE BACK.
WE'LL START PRACTISING
AND WE'LL BE BACK
WITH STEP TWO SOON.

Alfie says OH I LOVE THE LEG WEAVE TRICK.
SO TRICKY.
WE'LL FIND OUT HOW
JAYDEN AND RUBY
ARE GETTING ON
WITH THEIR TRAINING
A LITTLE BIT LATER
IN THE SHOW.
BUT FIRST TIME FOR
SOME BRAIN FOOD.
IT'S TIME TO STRETCH
YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
IT'S AN ANIMAL FACT.

The narrator says DID YOU KNOW
THAT RABBIT'S TEETH NEVER
STOP GROWING?

A rabbit says OH BOY.

The narrator says RABBITS
HAVE TWENTY-EIGHT TEETH,
WHICH CAN GROW UP TO
AN INCH EVERY MONTH.
IN THE WILD RABBITS CHEW ON
A WIDE VARIETY OF ITEMS
THAT NATURALLY WEAR
DOWN THEIR TEETH.
IT TAKES A LOT OF DAILY
CHEWING AND GNAWING
TO KEEP THEM WORN DOWN
TO USABLE LENGTHS.
YOU CAN GIVE YOUR PET RABBIT
FRESH HAY
TO PROMOTE HEALTHY TEETH.
AND HEALTHY TEETH
MEANS HEALTHY BUNNY.
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 ARTICULATE,
THEY'RE VOCAL,
THEY'RE MOUTHY
AND THEY'RE WORDY.
WHO ELSE COULD I BE
TALKING ABOUT?
IT'S TIME FOR TWO BOBS.
The caption changes to "Two Bobs."

Penguin Bob 1 says IT'S BOB AND BOB HERE WITH THE
WORLD BELLY FLOP CHAMPIONSHIPS
AT THE ANTARCTIC AQUATIC CENTRE
OR AAC AS WE LIKE TO CALL IT.
DON'T WE BOB?

Penguin Bob 2 says THAT'S RIGHT, BOB.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY OUT THERE
TODAY.
LET'S CROSS LIVE TO OUR EYE
IN THE SKY.
MARTY, ARE YOU UP THERE,
MARTY?

A voice says I DON'T KNOW WHO MARTY IS
BUT I AM REALLY SCARED UP HERE.
I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO FLY THIS THING.

Penguin Bob 2 says CAN YOU GIVE US SOME IDEA
AS TO HOW THE
AAC COMPETITION IS GOING?

The voice in the sky says WELL, I DON'T KNOW
WHERE I AM UP HERE.

Penguin Bob 2 says WELL, WHY DON'T YOU ASK THE
PILOT TO TURN IT AROUND SON?

The voice says THERE IS NO PILOT, BOB.
I DON'T...
I DON'T SEE ANY PENGUINS.
I THINK WE'RE OFF COURSE.
THERE IS NOTHING BUT SNOW.

Penguin Bob 1 says WELL THANKS FOR THOSE
VALUABLE COMMENTS THERE.

The voice says OH NO.
OH NO.

Penguin Bob 1 says HEY MARTY, WHEN YOU LAND
SEND US THE BROCHURE.

Alfie says WHAT A PAIR.
THOSE TWO BOBS.
WE'LL HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN
A BIT LATER IN THE SHOW.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME
TO PUT YOUR CREATURE
COMPREHENSION TO THE TEST
AND FEED
THAT BRAIN OF YOURS.
THROW ON YOUR THINKING CAP.
IT'S TIME FOR CREATURE QUIZ.

A caption reads "Creature Quiz."

The narrator says WHICH OF THESE ANIMALS
CAN DETECT AIRBORNE SCENTS
ABOVE THE WATER?
IS IT A THE SHAPE SHIFTING
OVERREACHING OCTOPUS?
B THE OMINOUS OCEANIC
WHITETIP SHARK?
OR IS IT C THE SMOOTH
AND STEALTHY STINGRAY?
IF YOU ANSWERED B THE OCEANIC
WHITETIP YOU ARE CORRECT.
SHARKS ARE FAMOUS
FOR BEING ABLE TO DETECT THE
SMELL OF BLOOD IN THE WATER.
BUT SOME VOLATILE CHEMICALS,
SUCH AS THE GASES
THAT MIGHT BE LIBERATED FROM A
DECAYING WHALE CARCASS,
ARE DISPERSED THROUGH AIR MUCH
MORE QUICKLY THAN THROUGH WATER.
A RUSSIAN SENSORY
BIOLOGIST HAS SUGGESTED
THAT'S WHY THE OCEANIC
WHITETIP SHARK
SOMETIMES STICKS ITS HEAD
OUT OF THE WATER.

A shark says HIYA.

The narrator says BY HOLDING ITS NOSE
ABOVE THE SURFACE
IT MAY BE ABLE TO DETECT
AIRBORNE SCENTS
AND LOCATE DISTANT FOOD SOURCES
MORE QUICKLY THAN MANY
POTENTIAL COMPETITORS.
THE OCEANIC WHITETIP USES ITS
OXYGEN SNIFFING ABILITIES
TO BE THE FIRST
ON THE SCENE
FOR ANY DISASTER IN
THE OPEN OCEAN.
THE OCEANIC WHITETIP HAS A
REPUTATION AS A MAN-EATER
FOR PEOPLE UNLIKELY ENOUGH
TO FIND THEMSELVES LOST
IN THE OPEN OCEAN.
The shark says WA HOO.

The narrator says SCIENTISTS ARE
DEVELOPING A SYSTEM
TO REPEL SHARKS FROM
HUMANS IN THE WATER.
THESE RESEARCHERS ARE
TESTING THE SHARK POD:
A TWO-KILOGRAM BACKPACK
CONTAINING A TWELVE-VOLT BATTERY
AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.
AT THE PUSH OF A BUTTON
THE WEARER IS
IMMEDIATELY WRAPPED
IN A PROTECTIVE
ELECTRONIC COCOON
THAT EXTENDS UP
TO SIX METRES AWAY
AND IS THOUGHT TO IRRITATE
THE SHARK'S ELECTRO-RECEPTORS.

The shark says JEEPERS CREEPERS.

The narrator says THE OCEANIC WHITETIP REALLY
DOES HAVE A NOSE FOR TROUBLE.

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.

(music plays)

The narrator says DID YOU KNOW
THE HANUMAN MONKEY HAS A DIET
THAT DEPENDS HIGHLY ON WHAT
THEY CAN SCAVENGE
WHEN THEY THINK NO
ONE'S WATCHING?
ANYTHING FROM FRUIT,
FLOWERS, LEAVES
AND WHEN THEY HAVE TO
THEY WILL ALSO EAT INSECTS
AND BARK.
THE HANUMAN MONKEY'S DIET
IS HIGH IN STRYCHNINE
WHICH CAN BE POISONOUS
TO SOME ANIMALS,
SO IT WILL ALSO COMMONLY EAT THE
GUM OF THE STERCULIA URENS TREE
TO COUNTERACT THE EFFECTS,
SO YOU COULD ACTUALLY SAY
THAT THEY EAT POISON
THEN GIVE THEMSELVES
THE ANTIDOTE.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says THOSE HANUMAN MONKEYS
ARE PRETTY AGILE.
BUT WOULD THEY BE ABLE
TO LEG WEAVE I WONDER?
WELL LUCKILY FOR THEM THEY'RE
NOT ON DOG TRICKS TODAY.
AN AWESOME DOG
CALLED RUBY IS THOUGH.
I THINK IT'S TIME WE HEAD OVER
AND SEE HOW JAYDEN AND RUBY
ARE DOING
WITH THE LEG WEAVE TRAINING.
OVER TO YOU DR. KATRINA.
IT'S DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says WELCOME BACK.
I'M HERE WITH JAYDEN AND
HIS GORGEOUS DOG RUBY.
WE'RE TEACHING RUBY
TO DO THE LEG WEAVE.
SO FAR WE HAVE WORKED ON
JUST TEACHING HER TO GO
THROUGH ONE LEG.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO DO
THE OTHER LEG.
SO YOU USED YOUR
OUTSIDE LEG FIRST
SO WE'LL PRACTICE
WITH THIS ONE NOW.
SAME THING.
JUST GET HER TO GO THROUGH,
LURE HER THROUGH.
THAT'S IT.

Katrina whispers SHE CAN HAVE
THAT TREAT!

She says GO THROUGH.
GOOD GIRL RUBY.
AND THEN SHE GETS THE TREAT.
DO YOU WANT TO TRY IT
ONE MORE TIME FOR US?
CALL HER.
NICE AND ENTHUSIASTIC.
PERFECT.
GO BACK.
LET HER SEE.
THAT'S IT.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
PATIENCE.
RUBY, RUBY.
GOOD GIRL.

Jayden says YES.

Katrina says PERFECT.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE JUST GOT
TO BE A LITTLE BIT PATIENT.
SHE GOT THERE IN THE END.
WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THIS ONE
AND WE'LL COME BACK
WITH STEP THREE,
WHICH IS PUTTING IT TOGETHER
SO SHE GOES THROUGH YOUR LEGS.

Alfie says AND NOW MY FRIENDS IT'S TIME FOR
SOME SNICKERS AND SNICKERING,
SOME SNORTING AND CHORTLING
WITH OUR FAVOURITE FUNNY HORSE.
OR AT LEAST SHE THINKS SO.
GIVE IT UP FOR THE ONE,
THE ONLY BAD PUN PONY.

(music plays)

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

Bad Pun Pony says WHAT KIND
OF SEA CREATURE
JUST WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE?
A HERMIT CRAB.

Ducks chuckle.

Bad Pun Pony says DID YOU HEAR
WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN THE FROG'S CAR BROKE DOWN?
IT HAD TO BE TOAD AWAY.

A bunny chuckles.

Kids say BAD PUN PONY YAY!

Alfie says ENGAGE YOUR BRAINS AND
TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT
ANOTHER CREATURE QUIZ.

The narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
HAVE NO NERVES OR BLOOD VESSELS
IN THEIR FEET?
IS IT A AUSTRALIA'S
FAVOURITE MARSUPIAL,
THE KANGAROO?
B IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK
AND WALKS LIKE A DUCK,
IS IT THE DUCK?
OR IS IT C THE GERM
SPREADING, TOOTHLESS FLY?
IF YOU ANSWERED B
YOU'RE CORRECT.
DUCKS HAVE NO
NERVES IN THEIR FEET.
DUCKS ARE MOSTLY AQUATIC BIRDS
LIVING IN BOTH FRESH WATER
AND SEAWATER
AND ARE FOUND ON
EVERY CONTINENT,
EXCEPT ANTARCTICA.
DUCKS HAVE WEBBED FEET,
DESIGNED FOR SWIMMING.
THEIR WEBBED FEET ACT
LIKE PADDLES
AND THAT'S WHY THEY WADDLE
INSTEAD OF WALK.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD
THE EXPRESSION
'WATER OFF A DUCK'S BACK'?
WELL THAT PHRASE CAME ABOUT
BECAUSE THERE'S
A SPECIAL GLAND
THAT PRODUCES OIL NEAR
THE DUCK'S TAIL,
WHICH SPREADS AND COVERS
THE OUTER COAT OF
THE DUCK'S FEATHERS,
MAKING IT WATER-PROOF.
BENEATH THE WATERPROOF COAT
ARE FLUFFY AND SOFT FEATHERS
TO KEEP THE DUCK WARM,
EVEN WHEN THEY DIVE
UNDERWATER.
DUCKS KEEP CLEAN BY
PREENING THEMSELVES.
THEY DO THIS BY BEING ABLE
TO TURN THEIR HEADS
COMPLETELY BACKWARDS.

A kangaroo says WOW.

The narrator says HAVE YOU EVER
FED SOME BREAD TO A DUCK?
YOU MIGHT HAVE EVEN BEEN
CHASED DOWN BY THEM
TO GET AT THE BREAD.
NEXT TIME WHY NOT TRY
GIVING THEM FRUIT OR RICE,
OATS OR BIRDSEED,
SO THEY GET
A MORE WHOLESOME DIET.
BET YOU'LL FIND
THEY GO QUACKERS FOR IT.

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
THAT ONE OF THE BIGGEST
PRAYING MANTIS IN AUSTRALIA
IS THE GIANT RAINFOREST MANTIS?
THE PRAYING REFERENCE
IS DERIVED FROM THE POSITION
ITS FRONT LEGS HOLD.

Mantis say HALLELUJAH.

The narrator says THESE GUYS LOVE THE TROPICAL
CLIMATE OF NORTHERN AUSTRALIA
AND FEED
ON A VARIETY OF INSECTS.
THEY CAN EVEN CATCH
SMALL GECKOS AND FROGS.

A mantis says YIPPEE.

The narrator says DURING MATING
THE FEMALE WILL SOMETIMES
ACTUALLY EAT THE MALE
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL.
EVEN AFTER LOSING HIS HEAD
THE MALE CAN STILL CONTINUE
TO MATE.
AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says BOOM GREAT FACT.
AND NOW FOR THE PART OF THE
SHOW I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO.
TIME TO MEET A SPECIAL GUEST
AND THEIR PET,
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
BUT FIRST THERE'S THIS.

A clips shows a newborn buffalo calf trying to get on its feet.

[MUSIC AND TRIPPING SOUNDS]

The caption reads "It's pet and tell."

Alfie sits in the studio with Xavier and his pet.

Xavier is around 11, with short light brown hair and wears black shorts and a white T-shirt.

Alfie says INTRODUCING XAVIER.
HE HAS BROUGHT IN HIS
PET CAT TO SHOW US.
HELLO XAVIER.

Xavier says HELLO ALFIE.

Alfie says SO WHO'S THIS?

Xavier strokes his black cat and says HE IS MERLIN.
UMM WE NAMED HIM MERLIN
BECAUSE WHEN WE FIRST GOT HIM
HE DID SOME TRICKY STUFF,
LIKE HE OPENED DOORS
AND ALSO HIS EYES
WE THOUGHT
WERE VERY MYSTICAL.

Alfie says HENCE THE NAME MERLIN.

Xavier says YEAH.

Alfie says SO WHAT KIND OF CAT IS MERLIN?

Xavier says AHH HE'S A DEVON REX.

Alfie says A DEVON REX.
SO DOES THAT MEAN HE'S
RELATED TO THE T-REX?

Xavier says NO.

Alfie says DEVON REX CATS.
DEVON REXES ARE AN
INTELLIGENT SHORTHAIRED CAT.
THEY'RE WELL KNOWN FOR
THEIR SLENDER BODIES,
WAVY COAT AND LARGE EARS.
DEVON REXES ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR
PLAYFUL AND CURIOUS NATURE.
THEY ARE VERY LOYAL
TO THEIR OWNERS.
THEIR EARS HAVE
TO BE CLEANED WEEKLY
TO PREVENT THE BUILD UP
OF BACTERIA.
THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF
A DEVON REX CAT
IS NINE TO FIFTEEN YEARS.
THESE CATS TEND TO
LEAD LONG HEALTHY LIVES.
HOWEVER THEY ARE PRONE
TO SLIPPING KNEES
AND HIP DYSPLASIA.
DEVON REX CATS.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO
TO LOOK AFTER HIM?

Xavier says WELL MOSTLY WE FEED HIM
JUST CAT FOOD
BUT SOMETIMES WHEN HE'S LUCKY
WE GIVE HIM SOME MEAT,
SOME LEFT OVERS FROM OUR DINNER.

Alfie says IF SOMEONE WAS LOOKING
TO GET A DEVON REX
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT?
DEFINITELY.
I THINK THEY'RE VERY WARM
AND THEY'RE CALM AND CUDDLY.

Alfie says WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO
TO PLAY TOGETHER?

Xavier says UMM WELL HE HAS
A COUPLE OF TOYS
AND USUALLY WE RATTLE THEM
AROUND AND HE CHASES THEM.
OTHER THAN THAT HE JUST SITS
ON YOUR LAP.

Alfie says DOES HE DO ANYTHING
NAUGHTY OR CHEEKY?

Xavier says AHH YES.
SOMETIMES HE DRINKS
FROM OUR AXOLOTL TANK.

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

Xavier says THANK YOU ALFIE.
AND THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING
US TO YOUR MAGICAL CAT MERLIN.
HE REALLY IS MAGICAL ISN'T HE?

Alfie says YEAH PRETTY COOL.

Merlin tries to escape from the set.

Alfie says OH NOW HE'S DOING
A DISAPPEARING ACT.
QUICKLY, CHECK THIS OUT.

The narrator says AUSTRALIA IS CHOCK
FULL OF SUPER CUTE CRITTERS:
JOEYS,
KOALAS,
QUAILS
AND OF COURSE
BABY WOMBATS.
AWW WOMBATS, YOU'RE
SO CUTE I COULD EAT YOU.
LOOK AT THEM.
THESE FUR BALLS SPEND
ALL DAY RUNNING ABOUT, PLAYING
AND GETTING UP TO MISCHIEF.
I LOVE EM.
COME ON, BABY
WOMBATS THEY'RE JUST...

Kids say TOO CUTE.

Alfie says ALL RIGHT CREATURE MANIACS
IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE OF PACE.
WE'RE GOING TO STRETCH
OUR BRAINS
AND FIND OUT SOME
FANTASTICALLY AMAZING THINGS
ABOUT SOME FANTASTICALLY
AMAZING ANIMALS.
IT'S CREATURE QUIZ.

The narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
ARE OUR CLOSEST RELATIVES?
IS IT A THE ORIGINAL ORANG-UTAN?
B THE DASHING DOLPHINS?
OR IS IT C THE
SUPER SMART CHIMPANZEE?
IF YOU ANSWERED C
YOU'RE CORRECT.
THE CHIMPANZEES ARE
MOST LIKE HUMANS
AND SHARE NINETY-FOUR PERCENT
OF OUR DNA.
ALTHOUGH CHIMPANZEES ARE
SIX TO SEVEN TIMES
STRONGER THAN HUMANS.
UNLIKE MONKEYS CHIMPS
DON'T HAVE A TAIL,
THEY BELONG TO THE APE FAMILY
AND ARE RELATED TO GORILLAS
AND ORANG-UTANS.
THEIR HAND IS JUST LIKE
A HUMAN HAND
WHERE THE THUMB IS IN
OPPOSITION WITH OTHER FINGERS.
THIS ALLOWS THEM TO DEVELOP
AND USE TOOLS
AND TO GROOM EACH OTHER.
GROOMING IS AN IMPORTANT RITUAL
THAT CREATES CLOSE BONDS BETWEEN
COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
CHIMPANZEE MOTHERS CARRY THEIR
BABIES FOR AROUND FOUR YEARS
AND THEY REMAIN CLOSE
THEIR WHOLE LIVES.
IN THEIR NATIVE
AFRICAN FOREST HABITAT
A CHIMPANZEE CAN LIVE
FORTY TO FIFTY YEARS
BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE NOW A
HIGHLY ENDANGERED SPECIES.

A caption reads "Two Bobs."

White Llama Bob says HEY BOB?

Brown Llama Bob says YEAH BOB?

White Llama Bob says THE RAVEN FLIES AT MIDNIGHT.

Brown Llama Bob says WHAT'S THAT BOB?

White Llama Bob says THE RAVEN FLIES AT MIDNIGHT.

Brown Llama Bob says BOB.
WHEN DID YOU JOIN
THE SECRET SOCIETY?

White Llama Bob says JUST NOW BOB.

Brown Llama Bob says OKAY YOU CAN JOIN
ON ONE CONDITION.

White Llama Bob says WHAT'S THAT BOB?

Brown Llama Bob says YOU GIVE ME THE SECRET PASSWORD.

White Llama Bob says IS IT PASSWORD?

Brown Llama Bob says NO.

White Llama Bob says IS IT BOB?

Brown Llama Bob says NO.

White Llama Bob says IS IT SECRET?

Brown Llama Bob says YES AND NO.

White Llama Bob says IS IT YES OR NO?

Brown Llama Bob says NO.

White Llama Bob says SO IT'S NOT?

BB NO. YES?

White Llama Bob says NO? YES?

Brown Llama Bob says YES IT'S NOT NO.
YES IT IS NO.

White Llama Bob says IS IT NO OR YES?

Brown Llama Bob says NO. IT IS NOT NO OR YES.
BUT YOU'RE GETTING CLOSER.

White Llama Bob says SO...

Brown Llama Bob says IF CLOSER MEANT FURTHER AWAY.
I WILL TELL YOU WHAT BOB.

White Llama Bob says YES.

Brown Llama Bob says IT'S SOMETHING THAT
CAN'T BE SEEN.

White Llama Bob farts.

Brown Llama Bob says WELCOME BROTHER BOB.

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 THE IWASAKI SNAIL EATER
IS A SPECIALIST SNAKE?
IT PURSUES ITS VICTIMS BY
TRACKING A TRAIL OF...
MUCUS.

A crowd says OH.

The narrator says UNABLE TO BREAK
THE SNAIL'S SHELL
THIS SNAKE HAS ACQUIRED
A SPECIAL JAW,
WHERE ONE SIDE IS USED
FOR GRABBING
AND THE OTHER, FOR SNACKING.
HOWEVER AS SNAKES GOT GREEDY
EATING RIGHT COILED SNAILS,
MUTATED LEFT COILED
ONES STARTED TO EMERGE,
CONFUSING THE SNAKE.
MEANING A GETAWAY.

A snake says BOO HOO.

The narrator says AND THAT'S...

Kids say AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says GREAT FACT RIGHT?
ALL RIGHT CREATURE FANS TIME
TO GET A BIT PHILOSOPHICAL.
TIME FOR SOME REFLECTIONS,
SOME QUESTIONS,
SOME SPECULATION AND
SOME MEDITATION
FROM OUR FAVOURITE
BLACK AND WHITE,
ROLLIE POLY, BAMBOO EATING,
PONDERING PANDA.

[GONG]

A caption reads "Pondering Panda."

A kid says THE PANDA THAT LIKES TO PONDER.

A panda on its back eats bamboo leaves and says DO YOU KNOW
WHAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT?
CAT FOOD.
I MEAN EVERYONE KNOWS
CATS LOVE EATING MICE, RIGHT?
SO WHY DON'T THEY MAKE
MOUSE-FLAVOURED CAT FOOD?
I MEAN THERE'S
BEEF-FLAVOURED CAT FOOD,
VENISON FLAVOURED CAT FOOD,
THERE'S EVEN A VEGETABLE
CASSEROLE FLAVOURED CAT FOOD.
BUT, LIKE, I'VE NEVER SEEN A
CAT EAT A VEGETABLE CASSEROLE.
COME ON CATS.
MOUSE FLAVOURED CAT FOOD.
IT JUST MAKES SENSE.

Alfie says HE'S ONE OF A KIND.
MOVING ON.
IT'S TIME TO CHECK IN AND SEE
IF JAYDEN AND RUBY
CAN PERFECT THE LEG WEAVE.
LET'S FIND OUT.
IT'S PART THREE OF DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says I'M BACK WITH JAYDEN AND RUBY.
WE'RE TEACHING RUBY
TO DO THE LEG WEAVE.
SHE'S LEARNT PART ONE
AND PART TWO.
SO SHE'S COMFORTABLE MOVING
THROUGH BOTH OF JAYDEN'S LEGS
AND NOW WE'RE GOING
TO PUT IT TOGETHER
AND SEE IF SHE'LL
MOVE FORWARD.
I MUST ADD THAT THIS IS NOT
A TRICK FOR BIG DOGS
FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
THEY CAN KNOCK YOU OVER.
AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS
HAVE ADULT SUPERVISION
WHENEVER YOU'RE DOING ANY DOG
TRAINING OR TRICK TRAINING.
LET'S PUT IT ALTOGETHER.
OKAY.
STEP.
THAT'S IT.
PERFECT.
GOOD GIRL.

Ruby walks through Jayden's legs.

Katrina says OKAY WELL THAT IS IT.
WE NEED TO DO A LITTLE
BIT OF PRACTICE
BUT I THINK SHE IS GOING
TO GET IT.
ARE YOU GOING TO
KEEP UP THE TRAINING?

Jayden says EXCEPTIONALLY.

Katrina says THAT'S GREAT.
WELL I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED
TODAY'S DOG TRICK.
PLEASE JOIN ME
NEXT TIME FOR MORE.

Alfie says WELL THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TIME
FOR TODAY CREATURE MANIACS.
I HOPE YOU HAD FUN TODAY.
I KNOW I DID.
SO MANY INCREDIBLE ANIMALS.
YOU KNOW WE REALLY DO
LIVE ON AN AMAZING PLANET.
WELL YOU KNOW WHERE TO COME
IF YOU NEED A BIG DOSE OF
CREATURE MADNESS.
AND REMEMBER ANIMALS ARE
AWESOME AND PETS ARE PALS.
I'M ALFIE.
JOIN ME NEXT TIME
ON CREATURE MANIA.

Music plays as the end credits roll.
