(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 FIND OUT
THE TRUTH ABOUT RATS,
ENTER THE PRETTY GROSS WORLD
OF THE DUNG BEETLE
AND WE CATCH UP WITH
OUR CHATTY FRIENDS
THE TWO BOBS.
WE HAVE A LAUGH WITH
PANDA AND PONY
AND MEET ANOTHER AWESOME PET
IN PET AND TELL.
PLUS LOTS, LOTS MORE.
THERE IS SO MUCH FUN TO COME
I CAN HARDLY WAIT.
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.
I'M HERE WITH THE INCREDIBLE,
BEAUTIFUL WONDER DOGS.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU
HOW TO TEACH YOUR
DOG TO ROLL OVER.
SKETCH IS GOING TO
DEMONSTRATE THIS ONE.
LET'S LEARN A BIT
ABOUT HER FIRST.
MEET SKETCH,
SHE'S SEVEN YEARS OLD.
SHE'S KNOWN FOR HAVING
AN UNUSUAL COAT COLOUR
AND DIFFERENT COLOURED EYES.
HER NICKNAMES ARE
SKITS AND SKIDDITCH.
SKETCH IS THE FREE SPIRIT
OF THE WONDER DOGS TEAM.
SHE'S SOMETIMES NAUGHTY
AND HAS LOTS OF CHARACTER.
HER HOBBIES, WELL
THERE'S SO MANY.
THEY INCLUDE CHASING BIRDS,
DIVING INTO THE DAM
AND RUNNING AROUND LIKE CRAZY.

Clips show the dog doing its favourite activities.

Katrina says HER FAVOURITE TRICKS
ARE JUMPING,
DOING HANDSTANDS AND SKIPPING.
HER NAUGHTIEST DEED,
JUMPING UP ON THE KITCHEN BENCH
TO PINCH FOOD.
PET HATES: WELL SHE HATES HAVING
SMELLY THINGS WASHED OFF HER.
THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE SKETCH:
QUIRKY, MISCHIEVOUS
AND ENERGETIC.
AND NOW LET'S SEE
SKETCH DEMONSTRATE.

A caption reads "Roll over."

Katrina says DROP.
DROP.
ROLL OVER.

Sketch does a trick and Katrina gives her a treat as she says GOOD GIRL.
ROLL OVER IS AN EASY TRICK
TO TEACH ALL DOGS
AND IT'S A GREAT
ONE FOR PUPPIES.
YOU NEED A DOG THAT IS
COMFORTABLE TO DROP OR LAY DOWN.
ROLL OVER.
GOOD GIRL.
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 Maddy and her dog.

Maddy is in her early teens, with blond hair in a ponytail and wears shorts and a blue polo-shirt.

Katrina says I'M HERE WITH MADDY AND
HER GORGEOUS DOG MONTY.
TELL ME A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT MONTY.

Maddy says SO HE'S EIGHT MONTHS OLD
AND HE'S A POODLE CROSS.

Katrina says AND HE LOVES TREATS.
HE'S ALREADY ONTO MY TREATS.
SO HE'S EASY TO TRAIN I BET.

Maddy says YEAH.

Katrina says WHAT DO YOU LIKE
ABOUT HAVING A DOG?

Maddy says WELL I LIKE THE WAY IT MAKES US
GO OUTSIDE AND HAVE FRESH AIR
AND HELPS US GET EXERCISE.

Katrina says YEP. THAT'S GREAT THOUGH.
IT KEEPS YOU ALL ENTERTAINED,
GOOD PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
LEARN SOME TRICKS?

Maddy says YES.

Katrina says EXCELLENT.
YOU READY MONTY?
YEAH WE'RE READY.
LET'S GO.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO
TEACH MONTY TO ROLL OVER.
NOW THE FIRST STEP
WITH THIS ONE IS TO JUST,
OH YOU'RE GOING
TO DO IT ANYWAY.
JUST GET HIM TO LIE DOWN.
AND JUST TURN HIS
HEAD A TINY LITTLE BIT.
OKAY.
DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT?
I WILL GIVE YOU SOME CHICKEN.
NOW COME A BIT CLOSER.
MONTY HOP UP.
OKAY NO YOU GO DOWN WITH
HIM, ASK HIM TO LIE DOWN.

Maddy says LAY DOWN.

Katrina says MOVE YOUR HAND IN
FRONT WITH THE TREAT,
DOWN TO THE GROUND.
GOOD BOY.
AND HE GETS TO THE GROUND.
THAT'S IT AND JUST
TURN HIS HEAD A TINY BIT.
PERFECT.
GIVE HIM THE TREAT.
PERFECT.
LET'S DO THAT ONE MORE TIME.
MONTY UP.
COME ON.
MONTY UP YOU COME.

Maddy says SIT.
MONTY SIT.

Katrina says FOLLOW THE TREAT DOWN.

Maddy says LAY DOWN.

Katrina says PERFECT AND THEN HEAD.
TINY BIT.
PERFECT.
OKAY WE'RE GOING TO
KEEP WORKING ON THIS,
STEP ONE.
WE'LL BE BACK VERY
SOON WITH STEP TWO,
WHICH IS TEACHING
HIM TO LIE ON SIDE.
I THINK HE'LL BE
OKAY WITH STEP TWO.

Back in the studio, Alfie says WHAT AN AWESOME TRICK
AND WHAT AN AWESOME DOG.
WE'LL CHECK IN WITH MADELEINE
AND MONTY
A BIT LATER ON IN THE SHOW.
BUT FIRST IT'S TIME TO
STRETCH THAT BRAIN OF YOURS.
IT'S TIME FOR AN ANIMAL FACT.

A caption reads "Did you know?"

The Narrator says DID YOU
KNOW RATS ARE TOUGH?
THEY'RE ABLE TO ADAPT
TO DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS
WITHOUT MUCH DIFFICULTY.
A RAT CAN GO LONGER
WITHOUT WATER THAN A CAMEL.
IT CAN FALL SOME FIVE STORIES
WITHOUT INJURY.
THEY CAN SURVIVE LARGE
DOSES OF RADIATION
AND SWIM FOR HALF A MILE
ACROSS OPEN WATER
AND OVER GENERATIONS
THEY CAME TO BUILD UP CERTAIN
IMMUNITIES TO POISON,
WHICH IS WHY RATS THRIVE AND
MULTIPLY SO QUICKLY.
AND THAT'S...

Children say ...AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says 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.

Two crocodiles rest in a lake.

Crocodile Bob 1 says WE'RE NOT JUST
ABOUT BEING VEGANS
HERE AT MEAT EATERS
ANONYMOUS ARE WE?

Crocodile Bob 2 says WHAT'S VEGAN BOB?

Crocodile Bob 1 says WELL VEGANS DON'T
EAT ANY ANIMAL PRODUCTS BOB.

Crocodile Bob 2 says WE DON'T?

Crocodile Bob 1 says AS I WAS SAYING
WE'RE ALSO ABOUT
REDUCING OUR WASTE.

Crocodile Bob 2 says OH YEAH.
HOW DO WE DO THAT?

Crocodile Bob 1 says RECYCLING,
COMPOSTING AND RE-USING.

Crocodile Bob 2 says OH THAT REMINDS ME
I JUST REMEMBERED WHERE I
RECYCLED THAT BUSH PIG CARCASS.
OH SEE YOU LATER.

Crocodile Bob 1 says DON'T DO IT BOB.
REMEMBER THE STEPS.

Crocodile Bob 2 says I REMEMBER
STEP ONE FIND CARCASS,
STEP TWO EAT CARCASS.

Crocodile Bob 1 says HOW ABOUT
YOU EAT AN AVOCADO?
YEAH A BIG JUICY AVO.

Crocodile Bob 2 says I WILL DO THAT
IF IT'S AN AVA-CARCASS.

Crocodile Bob 1 says I THOUGHT
I KNEW YOU.

Crocodile Bob 2 says YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
I'M ANONYMOUS.

Crocodile Bob 1 says BOB, BOB, BOB.

Crocodile Bob 2 says ANONYMOUS, ANONYMOUS,
ANONYMOUS.

Alfie says 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.

A caption reads "Creature quiz."

The Narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
EAT ABOUT ONE MILLION
CALORIES A DAY?
IS IT A THE SENSATIONAL SUPER
SIZED SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALE?
IS IT B THE
HYSTERICAL HIPPOPOTAMUS?
OR IS IT C THE
MARAUDING MAKO SHARK?
IF YOU ANSWERED A
YOU'RE CORRECT.
THE SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALE
EATS ABOUT A MILLION CALORIES
EVERY DAY,
ENOUGH TO FEED 500 PEOPLE.
THE SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALE
HAS A HUGE MOUTH
AND AN EVEN BIGGER APPETITE.
IT CAN SWALLOW 15,000
KRILL IN A SINGLE GULP.
IT TAKES A LOT OF CRUSTACEANS
TO FEED A FIFTY-TON SOUTHERN
RIGHT WHALE.
EACH DAY IT FILTERS
TWO TONS OF KRILL,
USING ITS MOUTH LIKE A SIEVE,
AS ITS HUGE TONGUE SQUEEZES
OUT THE WATER.
ABOUT A QUARTER OF ALL THIS FOOD
WILL BE CONVERTED STRAIGHT
INTO BLUBBER,
BECAUSE THIS WHALE IS
DESPERATE TO PACK ON THE KILOS.
ONCE IT LEAVES ITS
SUMMER FEEDING GROUNDS,
IT WON'T EAT A THING
FOR THE NEXT FOUR MONTHS.
IT TRAVELS FAR FROM THE RICH
WATERS AROUND ANTARCTICA
TO TEMPERATE BREEDING
GROUNDS IN THE NORTH.
AND BLUBBER IS ALL IT
HAS TO LIVE ON
THROUGHOUT THE 10,000 KILOMETRE
ROUND TRIP.
THE WHALES MUST LEAVE THE
MASSIVE SWARMS OF KRILL
FAR BEHIND
BECAUSE THEIR NEWBORN
CALVES WOULD NOT SURVIVE
IN THE FREEZING WATERS
OF ANTARCTICA.

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 DUNG BEETLES CAN ROLL UP TO
FIFTY TIMES THEIR WEIGHT?

A Beetle says YEE HO.

The Narrator says SOME
BEETLES CAN PULL 1,141 TIMES
THEIR OWN BODY WEIGHT.
THE EQUIVALENT OF AN
AVERAGE PERSON
PULLING SIX DOUBLE-DECKER BUSES
FULL OF PEOPLE.

A Beetle pushing a ball says DO PA DOOP.

The Narrator says AND THAT'S...

Children say ...AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says DUNG BEETLES ARE
PRETTY INCREDIBLE
AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO ROLL
A BIG BALL OF DUNG
BUT CAN THEY ROLL
OVER ON COMMAND?
I DOUBT IT.
BUT I DO KNOW A DOG THAT'S
CERTAINLY GOING TO BE TRYING.
MONTY.
IT'S TIME TO HEAD OVER
AND SEE IF MADELEINE AND MONTY
ARE READY FOR STEP TWO.
OVER TO YOU DR. KATRINA.
IT'S DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says WELCOME BACK.
MADDY AND I ARE TEACHING MONTY
TO ROLL OVER.
FIRST STEP WAS GETTING HIM
COMFORTABLE LYING ON THE GROUND
AND SLIGHTLY TURNING HIS HEAD.
SO NOW WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS
GET HIM TO ROLL ONTO HIS SIDE.
SO THE EASIEST WAY TO DO
THAT IS TO TURN HIS HEAD
TO FOLLOW A TREAT, LIKE THAT
AND THEN HE GETS THE TREAT
WHEN HE'S ON HIS SIDE.
DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A GO?
GOOD BOY MONTY.
JUST LET HIM SIT BACK UP.
MONTY.
PERFECT.
KEEP THAT TREAT ON HIS NOSE.
GO THIS WAY FOR ME.
AROUND HERE OVER HIS HEAD.
RIGHT OVER.
RIGHT OVER.
LIKE THAT.
THAT'S IT.
PERFECT.
THERE.
NOW HE GETS THE TREAT.
WE WILL KEEP WORKING ON THIS.
THIS IS STEP TWO
SO WE WANT HIM TO BE
VERY COMFORTABLE
WITH LYING ON HIS SIDE
AND THEN WE'LL
BE BACK WITH STEP THREE,
WHICH IS GETTING HIM
TO ROLL RIGHT OVER.
GOOD BOY.

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.

(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 WHEN DO
FIREFLIES GET UPTIGHT?
WHEN THEY NEED TO LIGHTEN UP.
WHAT DO YOU
CALL A POLAR BEAR IN HAWAII?
GIVE UP?
LOST.

Children say BAD PUN PONY YAY!

Alfie says NOW IT'S TIME FOR
SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AND SEE IF
WE CAN GUESS THE CORRECT ANIMAL,
IT IS CREATURE QUIZ.

The Narrator says WHICH OF
THESE ANIMALS
EAT ONLY NECTAR AND POLLEN?
IS IT A THE CLEVER WASPS?
THE ORIGINAL INVENTORS OF PAPER.
IS IT B THE SENSATIONAL AND
SUPER CUTE SUGAR GLIDERS?

Flying, a Glider says YEE HA.

The Narrator says OR IS IT C
THE HAPPY GO LUCKY,
HONEY POSSUM?
IF YOU ANSWERED C
YOU'RE CORRECT.
THE HONEY POSSUM HAS
A SWEET LIFE INDEED.
DESPITE THEIR NAME
THEY'RE NOT POSSUMS
AND THEY DON'T
ACTUALLY EAT HONEY.

A Possum says EW.

The Narrator says INSTEAD THEY LIKE TO DINE
SOLELY ON NECTAR AND POLLEN,
JUST LIKE BEES.
THESE LITTLE CRITTERS
ARE ONE OF THE SMALLEST
MARSUPIALS ON THE PLANET
BUT THEY HAVE A HUGE APPETITE.
THIS NURSING MOTHER
CAN CONSUME UP TO TEN PERCENT OF
HER BODY WEIGHT IN ONE NIGHT.

In a flower, a Possum says DO PA DO.

The Narrator says THE HONEY POSSUM
HAS A VERY SPECIALIZED
UPPER AND LOWER JAW,
AS WELL AS AN EXTRAORDINARY
DENTAL SYSTEM.
THEY HAVE
PRACTICALLY NO TEETH
BUT A LONG TONGUE WITH
A BRUSH TIP AND COMBS
DESIGNED TO COLLECT AS MUCH
POLLEN AS POSSIBLE.
HONEY POSSUM BABIES
ARE THE SMALLEST OF ALL MAMMALS.
THEY'RE THE SIZE OF A PINHEAD
AND WEIGH FIVE MILLIGRAMS.

A Crowd says OH.

The Narrator says THEY STAY IN THE
POUCH FOR A SWEET NINE WEEKS
AND THEN GROW TO
A WHOPPING...
NINE CENTIMETRES.

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 GREEN TREE ANTS ARE
ALSO KNOWN AS WEAVER ANTS?
THIS IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE
ABILITY TO WEAVE LEAVES TOGETHER
TO BUILD THEIR NESTS.
AND WHAT'S INSIDE THE NEST?

An Ant Queen says OH HELLO.

The Narrator says THEIR
QUEEN OF COURSE.
THERE IS ONLY ONE
QUEEN ANT IN EACH COLONY,
SO THE WORKERS DO ALL
THEY CAN TO PROTECT HER.
NOT THAT SHE'S DEFENCELESS
ON HER OWN MIND YOU.
SERIOUSLY DO NOT
CROSS THE QUEEN.
AND THAT'S...

Children 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.

A clip shows animals doing funny movements.

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

Alfie sits in the studio with Samuel and his pet. Samuel is around 8, with short blond hair. He wears a white shirt, blue jeans and a brown hat.

Alfie says INTRODUCING SAMUEL.
HE'S BROUGHT IN AN
AMAZING PET TO SHOW US.
HELLO SAMUEL.

Samuel says HI ALFIE.

Alfie says SO AHH IS THAT A
SPIDER IN THE BAG?

Samuel says NO.

Alfie says IS IT A DOG?

Samuel says NO.

Alfie says WHAT'S IN THE BAG?

Samuel says A SNAKE.

Alfie says WAIT A SECOND.
BEFORE YOU GET THAT ONE OUT
I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO GET
PROPERLY EQUIPPED.
LET'S DO IT.

Alfie wears a hat.

Alfie says WOW.
LOOK AT THAT.
SO...

Samuel opens a bag and puts a snake around his neck.

Alfie says WOW.
SO SAMUEL WHO'S THIS?

Samuel says AHH FELIX.

Alfie says FELIX AND WHAT KIND
OF A SNAKE IS FELIX?

Samuel says A STIMSON PYTHON.

Alfie says STIMSON PYTHON.
SO HOW LONG HAVE
YOU HAD HIM FOR?

Samuel says NEARLY TWO YEARS.

Alfie says TWO YEARS.
SO YOU KIND OF RAISED HIM.
STIMSON PYTHON.
THIS PYTHON IS FROM AUSTRALIA.
STIMSON PYTHONS ARE
RELATIVELY EASY TO KEEP.
HOWEVER KEEPING SNAKES DOES
REQUIRE A PROPER ENVIRONMENT
AND A REPTILE LICENSE.
THEY ONLY GROW
BETWEEN THREE TO FOUR FEET.
ADULT PYTHONS CAN EAT A MEDIUM
SIZED RAT OR A MOUSE
ONCE EVERY SEVEN TO TEN DAYS.
PYTHONS SHOULD NOT BE HANDLED
FOR AT LEAST TWENTY-FOUR HOURS
AFTER FEEDING.
THIS IS TO AVOID STRESS AND THE
POSSIBILITY OF REGURGITATION.
STIMSON PYTHONS EAT OTHER
WARM-BLOODED ANIMALS
SUCH A BIRDS, POSSUMS,
BATS AND BANDICOOTS.
AND WITH PROPER CARE
THEY CAN LIVE FROM FIFTEEN TO
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN CAPTIVITY.
STIMSON PYTHON.
AREN'T SNAKES DANGEROUS?

Samuel says UMM SOMETIMES.

Alfie says BECAUSE YOU'RE QUITE COMFORTABLE
WITH HIM WRAPPING
AROUND YOUR ARM AND NECK
AND LIKE IS THAT OKAY?

Samuel says YEAH.

Alfie says RIGHT SO WHAT DO YOU FEED HIM?

Samuel says UMM MICE.

Alfie says ALIVE OR DEAD?

Samuel says DEAD.

Alfie says BUT LIKE STILL MICE.

Samuel says YEAH.

Alfie says IF SOMEONE ELSE WAS WANTING
TO GET A PET SNAKE
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT?

Samuel says YES.

Alfie says WHY'S THAT?

Samuel says EASY TO LOOK AFTER.

Alfie says YEAH BECAUSE THEY'RE PRETTY
EASY TO LOOK AFTER.
WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US ON THE SHOW TODAY
SAMUEL.

Samuel says YOU'RE WELCOME ALFIE.

Alfie says AND THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING US
TO YOUR SLITHERY FRIEND FELIX.
THAT WAS AMAZING.
NOW THIS.

The Narrator says IN OCEANS AND
ON LAND AROUND THE WORLD,
TURTLES LIKE TO CHILL.
BUT THEY'RE STILL
FASTER THAN SLOTHS.

A Sloth says NOT A PROBLEM.

The Narrator says AND CAN
LIVE UP TO A HUNDRED.

A Turtle says REALLY?
DYNO.

The Narrator says SO LET'S GO BACK
TO WHEN THEY WERE
SUPER TINY BABY TURTLES.
JUST FLAPPING
AROUND THEIR FLIPPERS,
WAVING TO ANY PASSER-BY.

A Wombat says ALL RIGHT.

The Narrator says AND, IF
YOU'RE QUIET ENOUGH
YOU MIGHT EVEN HEAR THEM SPEAK.

A Turtle says HELLO.

The Narrator says BABY
TURTLES ARE JUST...

Children say ...TOO CUTE.

Alfie says ALL RIGHT CREATURE MANIACS
ARE YOU FEELING CLEVER?
LET'S SEE IF WE CAN WORK ON
THOSE SUPER BRAINS OF YOURS
AND FIND OUT SOME
MORE COOL STUFF.
IT'S TIME FOR SOME
MORE ASTOUNDING ANIMALS
IN CREATURE QUIZ.

The Narrator says WHICH
OF THESE ANIMALS
LIVE IN SECOND-HAND HOUSING?

A Marine Creature says WHAT'S
ALL THE HUB-UB?

The Narrator says IS IT A
THE SLIPPERY,
SLIMY AND SLOW-MOVING SNAIL?
B THE PAUA?
WHERE DID THIS GUY GET
HIS NIFTY LOOKING HELMET?
OR C THE HERMIT CRAB?
THAT'S A PRETTY LOOKING SHELL.
IF YOU WANTED A THE SNAIL
YOU'RE INCORRECT.
SNAILS ACTUALLY GROW THEIR
PRETTY SHELLS FROM SCRATCH.
THE ANIMAL THAT USES
RECYCLED ACCOMMODATION
IS C THE HERMIT CRAB.
HERMIT CRABS ARE A
RARE TYPE OF CRUSTACEAN,
BECAUSE UNLIKE OTHER CRABS THAT
GROW THEIR OWN HARD SHELLS
TO PROTECT THEIR BODIES,
THE VULNERABLE ABDOMEN
IS PROTECTED FROM PREDATORS
BY A SALVAGED EMPTY SEASHELL
CARRIED BY THE HERMIT CRAB,
INTO WHICH ITS WHOLE
BODY CAN RETRACT.
AND BOY DO THEY
NEED THE PROTECTION
BECAUSE EVERYONE
LOVES TO EAT THEM DOWN HERE
AND NONE MORE SO THAN
THE COMMON OCTOPUS.

Fast clips show different types of snails.

She continues AS HERMIT CRABS GROW
THEY REQUIRE LARGER SHELLS,
SO WHEN THEY OUTGROW
THE ONE THEY HAVE,
THEY ABANDON IT,
POSSIBLY FOR ANOTHER
HERMIT CRAB TO DISCOVER LATER ON
AND FIND A LARGER SHELL
TO SQUEEZE INTO.

The caption changes to "Two Bobs."

Two beetles stand on a branch.

Beetle Bob 1 says OH FUDGE BOB.

Beetle Bob 2 says WHAT IS IT BOB?

Beetle Bob 1 says OH I FORGOT
WHERE I PARKED MY CAR.

Beetle Bob 2 says HOW ARE WE
GOING TO GET HOME BOB?

Beetle Bob 1 says BUS I GUESS.

Beetle Bob 2 says I KNOW, I'LL LIFT
YOU UP SO YOU CAN SEE BETTER.

Beetle Bob 1 says OH PLEASE DON'T.

Beetle Bob 2 says YEAH COME ON.
UP YOU GO.

Beetle Bob 1 says NO NOT THIS AGAIN.
NO, NO, NO.
PUT ME DOWN.

Beetle Bob 2 says CAN YOU SEE BOB?
CAN YOU SEE?

Beetle Bob 1 says PUT ME DOWN.
AHH.

Beetle Bob 1 falls.

Beetle Bob 2 says WHOOPSIE.
HEY BOB
DID YOU SEE THE CAR?

Beetle Bob 1 says LEVEL TWO EAST.

Beetle Bob 2 says COULD YOU
COME UP AND PICK ME UP?

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
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
THAT PUFFINS HAVE
SEVERAL NICKNAMES,
INCLUDING SEA PARROTS
AND CLOWNS OF THE SEA?
THIS IS DUE TO THEIR
COLOURFUL APPEARANCE,
MORE SPECIFICALLY
THEIR SPECTACULAR BEAKS.
AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY
IT DOES LOOK LIKE THEY'RE ALSO
WEARING RED EYE MAKEUP.
IT'S NOT ONLY THEIR APPEARANCE
THAT IS IMPRESSIVE,
PUFFINS ARE ALSO
FANTASTIC FLYERS,
FLAPPING THEIR WINGS UP TO
400 TIMES A MINUTE
AND REACHING A TOP SPEED OF
88 KILOMETRES PER HOUR.
AND THAT'S...

Children say ...AN ANIMAL FACT.

Alfie says I DO LOVE A FUN FACT.
OKAY GUYS TIME FOR A BIT
OF PHILOSOPHY
WITH A BEAR WHO LIKES
TO REFLECT,
A BEAR WHO LIKES TO MUSE
AND THINK
AND WRESTLE AND MULL.
YES IT'S OUR FAVOURITE
ADORABLE, BAMBOO EATING,
ROLLING AND ROCKING
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 WONDER ABOUT X-RAY VISION?
LIKE REALLY WONDER
ABOUT X-RAY VISION?
I MEAN IF YOU HAVE X-RAY VISION
YOU CAN SEE THROUGH
EVERYTHING RIGHT?
BUT LIKE, IF YOU CAN
SEE THROUGH EVERYTHING,
I MEAN, ACTUALLY EVERYTHING,
WOULDN'T YOU JUST SEE,
LIKE, NOTHING?
WOW, THAT MEANS I COULDN'T
EVEN SEE MY BAMBOO.
UGH X-RAY VISION.
TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE IDEA.

Alfie says PONDERING PANDA YOU'VE
LEFT ME SPEECHLESS AGAIN.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PEARLS OF WISDOM.
ANYWAY IT'S TIME TO CHECK IN
AND SEE IF MADELEINE CAN
GET MONTY TO ROLL OVER.
LET'S FIND OUT.
IT'S PART THREE OF DOG TRICKS.

Katrina says WELCOME BACK.
WE'RE BUSY TEACHING
MONTY TO ROLL OVER.
HE'S COMFORTABLE
GOING TO THE GROUND,
WE'VE GOT HIM LYING ON HIS SIDE.
COME ON TURN AROUND.
THE NEXT STEP IS TO TAKE
YOUR HAND RIGHT OVER
AND SEE IF WE CAN GET
HIM TO ROLL OVER.
GOOD BOY.
YES YOU GET A TREAT.
OKAY YOU READY TO TRY THAT?
SO YOU PUT THE TREAT IN FRONT
OF HIS NOSE
AND THEN ROLL YOUR HAND GENTLY.
THAT'S IT.
ALL THE WAY.
KEEP GOING WITH THE TREAT.
SO I WILL HELP YOU OUT.
COME ON MONTY YOU CAN DO IT.
AND HE DID IT.
OVER.
WELL DONE.
OKAY WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF WORK TO DO TO PERFECT IT
BUT HE'S DOING WELL. HUH?
ARE YOU PROUD OF HIM?

Maddy says YES.

Katrina says I THINK IF YOU PRACTICE THIS ONE
HE WILL DO REALLY WELL AT IT.
YOU LOVE YOUR TREATS DON'T YOU?
SO HE'S EASY TO TRAIN
WITH TREATS.
HAVE YOU ENJOYED TODAY?

Maddy says YES.

Katrina says AND YOUR FAVOURITE BIT?

Maddy says MY FAVOURITE BIT WAS
TEACHING HIM THE TRICKS
BECAUSE HE'S
LEARNT SOMETHING.

Katrina says IT'S GREAT ISN'T IT?
WELL DONE.
A FANTASTIC TEAM EFFORT.
HOPE YOU HAVE
ENJOYED TODAY'S DOG TRICK.
I WILL BE BACK NEXT TIME
WITH ANOTHER ONE.
I'VE RUN OUT OF TREATS.
HE DOESN'T LIKE ME
ANY MORE DO YOU?
MONTY.

She shows her hands and chuckles.

Alfie says THAT'S IT FOR TODAY'S SHOW
CREATURE FANS.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED WATCHING
MADELEINE AND MONTY
AND FINDING OUT ABOUT ALL THOSE
FANTASTIC ANIMALS.
WE REALLY DO LIVE ON
AN AMAZING PLANET.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE MORE FREAKY,
FUNNY, AND FLUFFY ANIMALS

CRAZY FACTS,
