This is the transcript for Peacock2007's version of Wild Animal Safari.

It was a live-action/animated documentary and movie with interaction like Dora and Diego.

It was narrated by David Attenborough from the NETFLIX show Our Planet, along with Timon and Pumbaa from The Lion King (1994) Shellington from the Octonauts, and Korrina, Iris, and Serena from Pokemon: The Series.

This page is still a work in progress.

Prologue

Timon: Are you ready for adventure?

Pumbaa: Yeah, This is going to be awesome!

Korrina: Number 99, and that's gonna be you!

Iris: Shhh! Let's begin the adventure.

Animals In The Jungle

David Attenborough: Let's begin in the jungle, filled with trees, tropical plants, water, and of course, lots of animals.

Tiger

Jane The Monkey Roars Like A Tiger But Lizzy The Tiger Roars Back

David Attenborough: Our first animal is the tiger, a majestic creature, as well as a member of the cat family. Being the largest cat in the world, they rely on hunting prey that is much bigger than themselves, willing to travel for miles to snag a hoofed animal that will sustain them for days.

Pumbaa: Look at that tiger, I sure hope he doesn't eat me!

Korrina: Don't worry, you'll be fine.

David Attenborough: A tiger's striped pattern will help them blend in with their environment, which includes the spots behind their ears. When threatened, tigers will twist their ears forward, though the spots are exposed to the front as an act of intimidation. From the 1800s to the present day, the tiger population is dropping by 95%. However, zoos and wildlife conservation centres from around the world are trying their hardest to prevent them from becoming extinct.

Timon and Pumbaa: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Iris and Korrina: Laughter

Tiger in the Box

Timon: What a cute little tiger!

Monkey

Korrina: Now we got the tiger, what animal is next?

David Attenborough: Well Korrina, if you look inside that banana, you'll know what's coming next.

Charlie Chimp Lollipuppet

Timon: Oh, I know what's next! Monkeys!

Jane The Monkey Slips On A Banana Peel

David Attenborough: There are currently 264 known species of monkeys.

Pumbaa: That's a lot of monkeys!

David Attenborough: 138 of them are old world monkeys, which range from Africa to Asia. 100 of them are new world monkeys, which all come from Central and South America. Most monkeys are arboreal, which means they spend most of their time in the trees. Examples of arboreal monkeys include howler monkeys, tamarins and marmosets. other monkeys, which include mandrills, baboons and macaques, are terrestrial, which means they prefer the ground rather than the trees.

Timon: Now I know the difference!

David Attenborough: There are few characteristics that are also different in both old world and new world monkeys. The noses, cheek pouches, rump pads and tails of old world monkeys are different compared to the ones that belong to new world monkeys.

Parrot

Jane The Monkey Investigates Parrot Tracks And Squawks when a scarlet macaw stock photo appears

Korrina: Oh! Look! She squawked making a scarlet macaw photo appear just like magic!

David Attenborough: Parrots come in a variety of bright colours, mostly green, red, blue and yellow. There are a few exceptions, like the African grey parrot. You can probably guess what colour that is.

Timon: It's obviously grey. What else would it be?

David Attenborough: There are 279 species of parrot in the world. This includes the macaw of South America, the New Zealand-native kea parrot, the domestic parakeet, the lorikeet of Australia, and many more. The world's largest parrot is the hyacinth macaw, found in Central and South America. But it's not the heaviest member of the parrot family. That belongs to the kakapo of New Zealand.

Gorilla

Jane The Monkey Appears with black fur

David Attenborough: The gorilla, a critically endangered primate, is native to the Congo region of Africa.

Pumbaa: Yay! An African animal!

David Attenborough: Every troop of gorillas is led by a strong, experienced male, known as a silverback. The silverback has the most important job of the troop. The silverback is responsible for the safety and well being of the members of his troop. Gorillas are generally peaceful creatures, though sometimes a young male from one troop will challenge the silverback from another troop to a fight.

Timon: And I thought they were as dangerous as King Kong!

David Attenborough: Like all great apes (Except humans), gorillas rely on rainforests to make their living, and the forest depends upon them, too. The gorilla's scat acts as fertilizer for the forests they live in, and seedlings rapidly sprout from it, making these animals important forest regenerators. Gorillas are endangered because of deforestation and habitat loss, which is why many zoos display them, as well as breed them to bring the gorilla population back up.

Panda

Jane finds a bamboo tree but she sees the panda photo

David Attenborough: The giant panda is an instantly recognizable creature known as a worldwide symbol of conservation. This bear is native to China, which is the only place in the world that has them displayed in the wild. They are so popular and loved by Chinese people that law has protected people from trespassing their habitat. Now, the worldwide love for pandas has been combined with international efforts to keep them from becoming extinct.

Timon: So THAT'S why people love them so much!

David Attenborough: A panda's diet is made up mostly of bamboo. They love bamboo so much, they spend at least 12 hours a day eating it.

Pumbaa: Bamboo sounds delicious!

Timon: Pumbaa, bamboo isn't part of a warthog's diet.

Pumbaa: Oh, right.

David Attenborough: Though the pandas are no longer listed as endangered, their own survival is far from secure.

Drumming Panda

Andy The Panda stands below the umbrella with Jane

Timon: Well, the gorilla and the panda scare me!

Korrina: No, no no! They liked you!

Okapi

Jane sees an okapi stock photo

David Attenborough: The okapi may look like a zebra, but rather, it is closely related to the giraffe. Like a giraffe, an okapi has large, upright ears that help the animal avoid trouble. Their zebra-like legs can help their calves recognize their mothers.

Timon: I'd personally call them one of nature's greatest designs!

David Attenborough: Okapis live in dense forests, and are native to central Africa.

Korrina: Just like the gorillas!

David Attenborough: Okapis are hard to find in the wild. this is because the okapi's highly developed hearing alerts them to run away whenever humans are nearby. It is believed that there are currently approximately 25 000 okapis left in the wild.

Music Video About Okapis: Piano Sonata in C, K545, 3rd Movement, Mozart

Chimpanzee

Jane pretends to be a chimpanzee

David Attenborough: The third greatest ape in terms of size, and one of our closest living relatives.

Serena: I think he's talking about us humans.

David: Found in western and central Africa, chimpanzees are famous for using tools to get food. They often strip a branch of its leaves and then dip it into an ant hill to get the insects inside.

Timon: Hey, save some for me!

Korrina: But why are chimpanzees related to us?

David: Chimps use body language, facial expressions, grooming, hand clapping and kissing within their community, much like you and me.

Iris: Wow, very interesting!

Music Video About Chimpanzees: Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, BWV 1048, 1st Movement, Bach

(Iris puts on a billboard.)

Iris: (Breaks the fourth wall): Look, the next 2 animals are on the Billboard charts!

Chameleon

Jane sees the chameleon change color

David: Chameleons have a unique feature that most animals don't have. Camouflage, which allows the lizards to blend in with their surroundings by changing colour.

Pumbaa: I knew that!

Timon: Such a fascinating process!

David: Most chameleons have a prehensile tail that can wrap around tree branches when climbing, but unlike most lizards, a chameleon's tail cannot be broken off and regrown. Nearly two thirds of this lizard can be found on the island of Madagascar.

Music Video About Chameleons: Orchestral Suite No. 2, BWV 1067, Badinerie, Bach

Wind-Up Chameleon

Korrina: Jolly good!

Peacock

Jane appears with peacock feathers

Iris: Look, not in front of the parents! It's the peacock!

David: Peacocks are members of the pheasant family.

Pumbaa: I didn't know that!

David: The male peacocks display a wide array of feathers on their train, which most people think is a tail. Their long train and bright feathers make an easy target for predators, mainly tigers, leopards and mongooses. Peacocks can be found across India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and southeast Asia. In zoos, they can be found wandering freely.

Music Video About Peacocks: Alcina, Tambourino, Handel

Orangutan

Jane sees an orangutan stock photo

David: The name "orangutan" means "people of the forest". They can be found on the southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra. Orangutans are the largest arboreal mammal and the only great ape found in Asia. The rest (Gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos) can be found in Africa.

Timon: Correct. Gibbons are also apes found in Asia, but they aren't considered great apes, unlike the orangutans.

David: Most of the orangutan's forest habitat has been destroyed to make palm oil plantations, and unfortunately, these highly intelligent apes are now extinct in much of Asia. But luckily, zoos from around the world are keeping the orangutan population secure by breeding them, and hopefully one day, they won't be listed as critically endangered anymore.

Music Video About Orangutans: Symphony No. 6, Op. 68, 1st Movement, Beethoven

Red Panda

Jane notices a tall tree. She looks up, and a red panda stock photo can be found at the top.

David: Not to be confused with the giant panda, the red panda, a member of the raccoon family, spends most of its time in trees, and they are classified as endangered.

Pumbaa: The "red" panda looks kind of orange to me.

David: With their bushy tail for balance and claws for gripping, red pandas are truly acrobatic tree climbers. Most of their time is spent in the trees, which can be used as a perch for sunbathing high in the canopy that the red pandas can use as an escape route from predators, which includes snow leopards and wild dogs.

Music Video About Red Pandas: Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, BWV 1051, 3rd Movement, Bach

Korrina: 2 more animals, one more?

Panther

Jane sees a panther stock photo

David: This is a black panther. And no, the black panther itself is not its own species, but rather another term of using a jaguar or leopard with black fur. There isn't that much information on this creature, because it shares the same characteristics with leopards and jaguars, which we will learn about later as we continue our journey. A creature that shares the same name as the black panther is the Florida panther, which is one of many names people call the cougar, which will also be featured later.

Music Video About Panthers: Goldberg Variations, Aria, BWV 988, Bach

Korrina: That's our first collection!

Animals In The Rainforest

David: Our next stop is the South American rainforest. Why is it called the rainforest? The answer is quite obvious. It often rains in this environment.

Tapir

Jane The Monkey Spots a Tapir stock photo

David: Although this creature looks like a pig or an anteater, it's actually a tapir, which is actually related to horses and rhinos, since each subspecies of tapir has an odd number of toes.

Pumbaa: There are four kinds of tapir, right?

David: Correct, The Baird's tapir is native to Central America. The lowland tapir ranges from Colombia to Brazil. The lesser-known mountain tapir can be found on the Andes Mountains, and the Malayan tapir is the only subspecies of tapir native to Asia rather than South America. Using its incredible nose like a finger, a tapir can pluck leaves from tree branches or root around in the soft underbrush for fallen fruit to dine on.

Timon: I bet it's impossible to count their number of teeth!

Music Video About Tapirs: Contradance No. 1, Beethoven

Jaguar

Jane the Monkey And Georgia The Giraffe Growl Like Jaguars

David: Sleek, powerful, and elusive, jaguars stalk the Americas and are revered by all who share their realm. The jaguar is world's third largest cat, and are the only big cat species in the new world.

Korrina: They must be very good at hunting.

David: They range from Mexico to Brazil, and like other cats, a jaguar's eyes are adapted for night hunting. Jaguars see less detail and colour in daylight, but have a better vision at night.

Pumbaa: I'm scared of jaguars!

Timon: Don't worry, you'll be fine.

David: Jaguars are among the top predators in their habitat, so the adult cats' only fear is humans. They are hunted for their fur, and their habitat is dissapearing, which makes them a vulnerable cat. But thankfully, zoos are keeping jaguars safe, along with many other South American creatures, protecting them from the recent events that their natural habitats are facing.

Music Video About Jaguars: Contradance No. 8, Beethoven

Anteater

Jane The Monkey And Haydn The Anteater Stare At Each Other

David: The giant anteater is the size of a golden retriever, but thick, bushy fur makes it look bigger.

Pumbaa: I think I know what their favourite food is!

David: Although anteaters don't have teeth, their long tongue allows them to eat 30 000 ants a day.

Timon: Hey, save some for me!

David: Anteaters range from Honduras to Bolivia, and they can be found in forests and grasslands. Anteaters are usually solitary animals, but do come together to mate and raise their young. Giant anteater pups have a 50 percent mortality rate, and are very susceptible to health-related problems.

Music Video About Anteaters: Symphony No. 101, Clock, 2nd Movement, Haydn

Capybara

Jane sees a capybara photo

David: The capybara is the largest rodent in the world, closely related to guinea pigs. Capybaras are found in Central and South America, mainly near rivers, because Capybaras love swimming.

Timon: Me too!

Pumbaa: Me three!

David: Capybaras spend time in water and mud to keep cool during a hot day before the evening, which is when they graze. Capybaras usually live in small groups of up to ten, but during the wet season, up to 40 can be found together. Adult capybaras have one main natural predator; the jaguar, but humans hunt them as well. The youngsters, on the other hand, are hunted by caimans, ocelots and anacondas.

Lemur

Jane The Monkey sees a lemur stock photo

David: Lemurs are prosimians, which means they are primates that existed long before monkeys and apes.

Serena: So they existed before gorillas and monkeys? Cool!

David: Types of lemurs include the famous ring-tailed lemur, the critically endangered red ruffed lemur, the mouse lemur, the sifaka, and many more. All of these lemurs can only be found in Madagascar. Ring-tailed lemurs use their tails for communication. The tail is held up so other lemurs can see it in the brush.

Iris: Wow! I didn't know lemurs communicate that way!

David: Most lemurs spend their time in trees, resting, sleeping, feeding and even giving birth. The ring-tailed lemur, however, spends a good portion of its day on the ground.

Music Video About Lemurs: Peer Gynt Suite, The Death of Ase, Grieg

(Timon and Pumbaa cry at the end of the music.)

Korrina: That was so sad! What's the next animal?

Gibbon

Jane looks at a gibbon stock photo.

David: Gibbons are apes found in Asia, tropical forests. There's the white-handed gibbons, white-cheeked gibbons, and siamangs, which are the largest of the gibbons.

Korrina: They're also one of the loudest primates.

David: Gibbons have long arms that are made for swinging from tree-to-tree. which makes them acrobatic and agile. If they're not swinging through the trees, they're walking along tree branches with their arms outstretched to help them keep their balance. Hopefully this will cheer you up, Timon and Pumbaa!

Music Video About Gibbons: Viola Concerto in G Major, TWV 51:G9: II. Allegro, Telemann

Korrina: Timon and Pumbaa, the music is making you happy again!

Timon: Yup, we're all better now! Thank you for cheering us up, gibbons!

Iris: Alright, what's the next animal?

Rhea

Jane sees a rhea stock photo

David: The rhea is a lesser known flightless bird species. Unlike most birds, rheas do not have tail feathers.

Serena: I didn't know that, especially because I've never heard of rheas before!

David: Rheas can be found in the grasslands of Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina. During the breeding season, rheas stay near lakes, rivers and marshes.

Music About Rheas: Jeux d'eau, Ravel

Sloth

Jane sees a sloth photo

David: Sloths are nocturnal, slow moving mammals that spend most their life hanging on tree branches upside-down. They eat, sleep, mate and give birth from this position hanging high among the branches.

Pumbaa: Sloths can move as slow as a koala!

David: Correct, Pumbaa. Jaguars, ocelots, anacondas and harpy eagles prey upon sloths. They may look like an easy animal to prey upon, but sloths can defend themselves from predators with their sharp claws and teeth, and if needed, Sloths can move quickly through the trees as a way to escape from those who prey upon them.

Timon: Wow, I wasn't expecting sloths to be that defensive!

Korrina: Here comes the music!

Music Video About Sloths: Piano Sonata in D, K576, 1st Movement, Mozart

Galago

Jane turns off a light switch to see a galago stock photo.

David: Galagos are also called bushbabies, because its territorial call sounds like a child's cry.

Korrina: That explains why!

David: Galagos spend the day resting in tree holes or among the vines, hiding them from snakes. They emerge at night to run, leap and climb in the treetops.

Iris: I didn't know they were that active at night!

David: Large, light-sensitive eyes help the galago know where it's going.

Music Video About Galagos: Sonatina in C, Op. 36, No. 1, 1st Movement, Clementi

Iguana

Jane sees a green iguana stock photo

David: Iguanas are found in the Americas, with their whip-like tail, making about half of that length. Like other reptiles, iguanas are cold-blooded, egg-laying animals with an excellent ability to adapt to their environment.

Timon: Are some endangered?

David: Yes, Timon. While some iguanas, like the green iguana, are quite common, others, like the Fiji banded iguana, are endangered. Some iguanas have dull colour, and others have bright and vivid colour. Because iguanas are found in all different habitats, each has their own unique adaptation.

Music Video About Iguanas: Gaite Parisienne, Polka, Offenbach

Iguana Puppet

Toucan

Jane The Monkey talks like a toucan

David: Perhaps the most well known tropical bird, especially because of Toucan Sam, the mascot of Froot Loops cereal, the toucan is a symbol of playfulness and intelligence that has been used quite successfully by advertisers and business owners.

Pumbaa: I've heard of Toucan Sam!

Serena: I'm sure the viewers have too.

David: With their long bills, toucans are known to reach deep into tree cavities to grab eggs from other birds or to dig deeply into their own cavities to clear therm out, and pairs have been seen tossing fruit to each other in a courtship ritual.

Korrina: The toucan's bill is a very useful tool!

Music Video About Toucans: Symphony No. 8, Op. 93, 2nd Movement, Beethoven

Frog

Jane The Monkey hops behind a frog stock photo

David: The world holds a wonderful variety of frog species, each adapted to living in its unique habitat.

Pumbaa: Frogs are facinating!

David: Most frogs and toads are great at hopping any which way. Powerful muscles in a frog’s back legs give it distance while pushing off from whatever surfaces it’s leaping from. Generally, the longer the frog’s back legs are, the farther it can hop. Hopping is a great way to escape from danger quickly. Some frogs prefer to walk or run rather than hop, especially those living in grasslands, and aquatic frogs use their swimming skills to make a quick getaway.

Butterfly

Jane Appears with her wings

David: There are about 165,000 known species of butterfly, found on every continent except Antarctica, and they come in a wide variety of colors and sizes.

Serena: I think butterflies are beautiful creatures!

David: The main structure of a butterfly's wing is made of thin layers of chitin, a protein that also makes up the outer "shell" of the body. These layers are so thin you can see through them. They are covered with thousands of tiny modified hairs called scales that reflect the light, creating the extraordinary colors and patterns we see. These scales are the "dust" that comes off a butterfly wing as it brushes against leaves and flowers.

Korrina: Let's see some butterflies in action! Cue the music!

Butterfly Garland Multicolor

Hoatzin

Jane sees the Hoatzin stock photo

David: Hoatzins are tropical birds found in swamps of the Amazon rainforest. They are known as the smelliest birds, because they have a stinky and poisonous smell, which makes them different from other birds.

Timon: P.U!

Iris: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! The smell is so stinky and POISONOUS!

David: The hoatzin is the only bird with a digestive system that ferments vegetation as a cow does, which enables it to eat buds and leaves exclusively. Capuchin monkeys prey on these birds.

Music Video About Hoatzins: The Nutcracker, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies, Tchaikovsky

Hornbill

Jane sees a hornbill stock photo.

David: With long eyelashes, dark eyes, and an almost comically large, curved bill, hornbills have many admirers. Hornbills are recognizable by a special body part on their bill called a casque, which allows them to make their calls.

Timon: Hopefully they're not stinky like the hoatzins.

Pumbaa: No need to worry, Timon! Hornbills aren't stinky!

Serena: They're awesome!

Timon: Phew, what a relief.

David: Most hornbills are omnivorous and eat a combination of fruit, insects, and other small animals. The larger hornbill species tend to eat mostly fruit.

Korrina: I think hornbills are cool creatures!

Music Video About Hornbills: Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, BWV 1050, 1st Movement, Bach

Cockatoo

Serena: Guys, Look what Coco's doing!

(Coco paints the sulphur-crested cockatoo perching on a tree, bows to the viewer and squawks revealing a cockatoo stock photo!)

Iris: Wow, Coco, you're an artist! You can paint animals including---

David (Interrupting Iris): Cockatoos are among the most well-known and loved members of the parrot family. They are found in Australia, and they live in forested areas of all types, from eucalyptus groves to rain forests.

Korrina: People love them so much, they're even kept as pets!

David: Cockatoos are arguably the loudest of all the parrots and scream to communicate with one another, or just for the sheer joy of making noise. Their loud voice is a great adaptation for living in thick, dark forests, helping each bird communicate with others over long distances, even when they are out of sight.

Serena: Here comes the music!

Music Video About Cockatoos: Serenade No. 13 in G, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, K525, 1st Movement, Mozart

Dragonfly

Jane sees a dragonfly flying

David: Dragonflies have existed for a long time. They've even existed before the dinosaurs, which makes them one of the only prehistoric animals that still exist today.

Timon: I didn't know they've existed for that long!

Pumbaa: I WANNA EAT ALL OF THEM!

David: One thing you notice right away about dragonflies is their wonderful array of colours. They come in all sorts of colours like yellow, red, brown, and blue; sometimes the wings have brown spots and bands.

Korrina: Interesting!

David: Unlike most insects, dragonflies have two pairs of wings. These wings are thin and sheer, with small veins that crisscross to add strength. Dragonflies can beat their wings together or individually. Like a helicopter, this lets them turn in mid-air, hover, and fly backward. Some dragonflies can even reach speeds of up to 30 kilometres per hour.

Umbrella Bird

Jane plays peekaboo with an umbrella.

David: Umbrella birds can be found in the rainforests of Equador, Panama, Costa Rica and Colombia.

They're called that because they can wrap their feathers around their head, making them look like an umbrella.

Timon: That's facinating.

David: Umbrella birds spend most of their time in the canopies of tall trees. There are 3 species of umbrella bird, and they are all black and 38-50 cm long.

Music Video About Umbrella Birds: Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, BWV 1048, 3rd Movement, Bach

Iris: Yes! You found the Rainforest Animal Collection! Move on! Let's go to the next stop.

Animals In The Forest

David Attenborough: We're not done with forests just yet. Next, we'll be heading to a different kind of forest, the North American forest, also known as the Temperate or Boreal forest. unlike rainforests, these ones cycle through all four seasons.

Bear

Soapy The Bear Spots Honey And Eats It

Serena: Look! David, what animal is that?

David: It's a bear. Bears come in all sizes and shades, and can be found around the world. First, there's the North American-native grizzly bear, the Polar Bear, which we will learn about later, the South American spectacled bear, three kinds of bears found in Asia: The sun bear, giant panda and sloth bear, and also the American black bear.

Pumbaa: That's a lot of bears!

David: All bears have short, thick limbs, a big, heavily built body, and a large head. Look carefully and you’ll notice that most bears walk pigeon-toed, with their feet turned inward. It makes them look a little clumsy when they’re walking, but don’t be fooled—bears can move much more quickly than most people realize.

Fox

Kenny The Fox walks around the forest, but when Jane appears, Kenny runs away.

David: Many people are familiar with the red fox, but there are over 30 species of fox living in an amazing variety of environments all over the world, which includes the arctic fox (which will also be featured later), the desert-dwelling fennec fox, the African bat-eared fox and many more. In general, foxes are small members of the dog family, the largest of which is the red fox.

Serena: I love foxes! They're so cute!

David: Although many fox species are endangered or threatened, the red fox has a strong population. Millions can be found all over Europe and North America. There is no doubt of the beauty of these animals, and there is no doubt why the term "fox" is often used to describe attractive people too!

Music Video About Foxes: Peer Gynt Suite, Anitra's Dance, Grieg

Kenny the fox jumps into a pile of leaves.

Squirrel

Jane sees footprints of squirrels and squeaks.

David: Squirrel's are energetic small mammals that can be found in the forests of North America and Europe.

Pumbaa: I've never seen squirrels before!

Timon: It's because you're an African animal, Pumbaa.

David: Squirrels can leap 10 times their body length and turn their ankles 180 degrees to face any direction when climbing. In addition, they can learn by quickly copying other animals.

Deer

Jane sees a picture of a deer. So she puts on antlers and jumps.

David: Deer are native to all continents except Oceania and Antarctica, and many species of deer have been widely introduced beyond their original habitats. They are also fast runners and high jumpers.

Korrina: Wow, they're fast creatures indeed!

David: Deer are specialized herbivores, as is reflected in their large and anatomically complex digestive organs, their mobile lips, and the size and complexity of their teeth. However, deer rely little on grasses, and they have not evolved grazing specializations comparable to those found in cattle.

Reindeer Ornament

Owl

Otto the Owl looks at the bear stock photo and roars the first time, When he did it the second time, it shows a deer. But when he did it the third time, it shows an owl, and Otto dances.

David: While most of us have no problem identifying an owl, just look for that round face, sharp, hooked bill, and large eyes—it’s not as easy to distinguish between different kinds of owls. Everything about an owl’s body makes it the ideal bird for night living. An owl has the best night vision of any animal, and its hearing is nearly as acute.

Serena: Owls are nocturnal, right?

David: Right. An owl's eyes are so big in comparison to the head that there is little room for eye muscles, meaning owls can’t move their eyes. Instead, owls must move their entire head to follow the movement of prey.

Wind-Up Walking Owls

Bat

Jane appears with bat wings

David: Despite what many people think, bats are extremely useful to humans and are gentle, intelligent creatures. They feed on fruit, pollen, or nectar. Some bat species also eat fish and small mammals.

Timon: Thank goodness they're not harmful.

Pumbaa: Yeah, what a relief!

David: Bats are the only mammals capable of flying. Bat wings contain the same bones as a four-fingered human hand. Indeed, a bat’s wings ARE its hands. A thin, strong membrane of soft, velvety skin spreads across these bones, connecting them to the bat's back and legs, like the fabric and ribs of an umbrella. The thumb clings to surfaces when the bat alights.

Music Video About Bats: Symphony No. 4, Op. 60, 4th Movement, Beethoven

Woodpecker

Jane pecks at the tree

David: Woodpeckers are unique because of their ability to peck into trees to make dens.

Iris: Facinating!

David: Most woodpeckers spend their entire lives in trees up the trunks in search of insects; only the few ground-feeding forms are capable of perching on horizontal branches, as most birds do. Most woodpeckers eat insects, but some feed on fruits and berries.

Music Video About Woodpeckers: Piano Sonata in C, K330, 3rd Movement, Mozart

Skunk

Jane sees footprints of skunk

David: Whether striped, spotted, hog-nosed, or hooded, these nocturnal creatures will likely stop you in your tracks. Skunks have “trained” just about every species—except domesticated dogs! Like hoatzins, skunks have a stinky smell, and they only spray when threatened.

Timon: YUCK!

David: Despite the skunk’s well-known stinky strategy, plenty of animals would kill to feast on this black and white creature. In response to threats, skunks first try to escape, and if that’s not possible, they hiss and stomp their feet. Skunks are found across North America, from southern Canada into northern Mexico. These terrestrial animals are quite at home in a variety of landscapes, from wooded areas to grasslands and agriculture fields, and even in urban areas, among humans.

Chipmunk

Jane sees footprints of chipmunk

David: Chipmunks are found across the United States, Mexico and Canada, and they are members of the squirrel family.

Serena: I see chipmunks all the time!

David: They scamper along the ground but are also expert climbers. The fur is reddish brown and five dark brown stripes are part of the fur. These alternate with two grayish-brown stripes and two whitish stripes. The smallest chipmunk is the least chipmunk, which weighs about half as much as the eastern chipmunk.

Raccoon

Jane notices a trash can. When she peeks inside, Randy the Raccoon pops out, scaring Jane.

David: Raccoons are one of the few native animals in North America that have not been restricted by urbanization and human development. They have adapted to living with and near humans. Raccoons play an important role for our ecosystem by controlling the rodent populations that they prey upon.

Pumbaa: I think raccoons are cool creatures.

David: Raccoons can be found anywhere water is available. They have been found in marshes, prairies, forests, and even in urban areas. They originated in North America and can be found across the United States, Canada, and Central America. They are terrestrial animals, but also excellent swimmers.

Korrina: I know they love trash, but I didn't know they also love water!

Opossum

Jane sees an opossum stock image

David: Often misunderstood and persecuted by many, opossums actually help keep the environment healthy and tidy. In addition, they are the only marsupials not found in Australia.

Timon: So They're harmless! That's good.

David: Generally, the opossum lives in forests or swamps that get plenty of rainfall, but they are wildly adaptable and able to live among humans in open country as well as urban areas. When not lodging in tree holes or in dens made by other animals, they can shelter in sheds, barns, or under homes. They are harmless to humans, so if you discover one living under your house, just let it be. After all, it’s keeping your neighbourhood clean!

Pheasant

Jane sees a pheasant stock photo

David: Pheasants are long-tailed birds of open woodlands and fields, where they feed in small flocks. The centre of distribution of pheasants was originally from China to Malaysia. Several species, however, have been naturalized elsewhere. Several pheasants are colourful, mainly the ones from Asia.

Pumbaa: I heard they can also be found in Europe!

Music Video About Pheasants: Violin Concerto in D, Op. 61, 3rd Movement, Beethoven

Hare

Jane sees a picture of hare and hops away

David: Hares are related to rabbits, and both hares and rabbits belong to the same family. In general, hares have longer ears and longer hind feet than rabbits. While the tail is relatively short, it is longer than that of rabbits.

Korrina: At first, I thought hares and rabbits were the same animal.

David: Hares are the most widespread of the rabbit family, occupying most of North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Although usually grey-brown throughout the year, hares living in northern latitudes may turn white in winter.

Music Video About Hares: Capriccio Espangol, Alborada, Rimsky-Korsakov

Blue Jay

Jane sees a blue jay stock photo

David: The Blue Jay is a white-faced bird with a distinctive blue crest, back, wings and tail. A collar of black is often found around the throat and head, and bills, legs, feet and eyes are also black. The Blue Jay has a very heavy bill which is used to peck open a variety of nuts, acorns and cocoons.

Iris: But are they really blue?

David: The Blue Jay’s feathers are not actually blue. The bright cobalt colour is the result of the unique inner structure of the feathers, which distort the reflection of light off the bird, making it look blue.

Iris: Oh, okay!

Music Video About Blue Jays: The Marriage of Figaro, Overture, Mozart

Cardinal

Coco the Cockatoo sees a cardinal stock photo

David: Cardinals live in forests or in thick bushes surrounding residential areas, which are prime places for these birds to gather food. Their strong beaks help them dig for insects in bushes and bite into tasty seeds, grains and fruits.

Serena: I like cardinals, especially their bright red feathers.

Korrina: Me too!

David: Cardinals are feisty! If they see their reflection, they will fight for hours to scare off the “other bird” that they see as a threat.

Music Video About Cardinals: Nutcracker Suite, Trepak, Tchaikovsky

Snail

Jane sees a snail and tries to touch it but the snail's head hides in the shell.

David: There are more than 40,000 different species of snails throughout the world, and they are remarkably well adapted to survival. They may be found almost everywhere—on land, in trees, in freshwater ponds and streams, and in salt water from shoreline to ocean depths.

Timon: They look kinda gross.

Pumbaa: But Timon, they're harmless!

David: Snails live in moist land habitats and in ponds and streams. In warm climates some kinds live on trees, and a few can even be found on snowbanks or in deserts. They carry self-protection on their back, usually in the form of a spirally twisted shell. When danger threatens they draw the soft parts of their bodies inside the shell.

Music Video About Snails: Violin Sonata No. 9, K14, 2nd movement, Mozart

Serena: Yes! David, what's the next biome?

Animals In The Lake

David Attenborough: Next is the lake. Lakes are found near forests and contain lots of water.

Alligator

(Jane looks at the alligator stock photo.)

David: The American alligator is a large reptile; lizard-like in appearance, with a powerful, triangular-shaped head. They are found in the south eastern United States in an area bounded by the Texas-Mexican border on the west, eastward to the Atlantic coast with heavy concentrations along the Gulf Coast throughout the states of Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, southern Virginia and the Carolinas.

Pumbaa: I don't wanna get near that alligator's teeth!

Timon: You'll be okay, Pumbaa.

David: Alligators rely on their environment for warmth. Since they spend a lot of time in the water, particularly at night, raising their temperature through morning basking is a necessary activity on sunny shorelines where crowding is tolerated and space is allocated by size and dominance.

Music Video About Alligators: The Carnival of the Animals, Royal March of the Lion, Saint Saens

Heron

(Jane The Monkey Reaches For Water But She Can't Do It)

David: Herons are found across North America near wetlands, lakes, marshes and swamps.

Korrina: I see herons in water all the time.

David: Herons hunt for fish, amphibians, insects and other small animals in both salt and freshwater, but builds its nest in trees, bushes or on the ground. To hunt, a heron will either stand completely still and wait patiently for its prey or it will wade into the water to drive its prey out. When the time is right, it will lunge its neck into the water and usually swallow the prey in one gulp.

Music Video About Herons: Flute Quartet No. 4 in A, K298, 3rd Movement, Mozart

Beaver

Jane gathers logs together to make a beaver dam.

David: Beavers are the largest rodent in North America and second largest in the world, because the capybara holds that record. Beavers have a waterproof, rich, glossy, reddish brown or blackish brown coat.

Iris: I heard that beavers are a national symbol of Canada!

Timon: They make dams with tree branches, right?

David: Right. Beavers have large teeth that helps them cut down trees, and they cut branches off the tree for them to make their dams. Beavers live in lodges, of which there are three types: those built on islands, those built on the banks of ponds, and those built on the shores of lakes. Beavers are excellent swimmers, which makes them primarily aquatic animals.

Music Video About Beavers: Violin Concerto in D Major, RV 230, 3rd Movement, Vivaldi

Stork

Jane looks at a stork stock photo.

David: The word stork isn’t exactly poetry in motion, but there is much to admire in these graceful birds that inhabit wetlands, grasslands, and tropical forests on every continent except Antarctica.

Pumbaa: Storks migrate, right?

David: Yes, they migrate from Europe to Africa during migration season. They fly mostly by soaring on warm air currents, with long, broad wings that only flap occasionally. They stretch their neck out and dangle their legs behind them as they fly, making them recognizable even from far away.

Music Video About Storks: Carnival of the Animals, The Swan, Saint Saens

Swan

Jane The Monkey And Kenny The Fox Dance Gracefully Like Swans

David: The swan is the largest of all waterfowl. Swans have remarkably long necks, as long as their bodies held out thrust in flight but proudly erect when attentively swimming. Swans are well adapted for the harsh environments in which they sometimes live.

Korrina: Swans are beautiful!

Iris: Indeed!

Music Video About Swans: Swan Lake, Waltz, Tchaikovsky

Loon

Flossy sees the loon stock photo and dances.

David: Loons are built to be swimmers. Their three-toed webbed feet help them paddle through the water and their wings help them steer. Loons are also exceptional divers and have been caught in fishing nets 73 m below the water’s surface.

Timon: Do they have a unique call?

Pumbaa: Yes, they do!

David: The loon prefers to dwell in deep waters. Its habitat includes the ocean, bays, estuaries, channels, coves and fresh water lakes. Loons nest less frequently in inlets and lagoons.

Music Video about Loons: Fur Elise, WoO 59, Beethoven

Ibis

Jane sees the ibis stock photo.

David: Ibis are medium-size to large wading birds, related to storks and spoonbills.

Iris: Hey, I'm not a bi-

Serena (Interrupting Iris): He's talking about ibis, not you.

Iris: Oh, right. I just thought he was talking about me because my name sounds like the word ibis.

David: All ibis species have bare spots, usually on the face or throat. The sacred ibis, black-headed ibis, and Australian white ibis also have featherless areas on the breast. These bare areas turn a deep red during the breeding season.

Music Video About Ibises: Symphony No. 1 in D Major, Op. 25, 4th Movement, Prokofiev

Spoonbill

Harry looks at a spoonbill stock photo.

David: Spoonbills are a genus, Platalea, of large, long-legged wading birds.

Shellington: Wait! I'm coming! Does it look it a flamingo?

David: We will learn about the flamingo. But, Roseate Spoonbills are medium-sized waterbirds with a football-shaped body and long legs.

Iris, Korrina, Serena, and Shellingtion: Yay! A roseate spoonbill!

David: Roseate spoonbills must compete for food with snowy egrets, great egrets, tricolored herons and American white pelicans. Korrina, if you please!

Korrina: Cue the music!

Music Video About Spoonbills: Symphony No. 94, 2nd Movement, Haydn

Platypus

Jane sees a platypus stock photo

David: The platypus is as fascinating on the inside as it is on the outside! Not only is it one of Australia's most iconic animals, but it is also one of the few egg-laying mammals, also known as monotremes.

Timon: Mammals that lay eggs? There's something you don't see everyday! Wait, is there another monotreme?

David: Echidnas also lay eggs, Timon. They-

Pumbaa (Interrupting David): Uhh, David, I think you're going off topic.

David: Oh, right. Thanks for getting me back on track, Pumbaa. Anyways, The platypus is generally active at night and dusk, and occasionally active by day. It emerges from its burrow in late afternoon to forage for food. By early morning, it is ready to re-enter the burrow.

Music Video About Platypus: Scenes of Childhood, Dreaming, Op. 15, No. 7, Schumann

Salmon

Jane finds a salmon stock photo

David: Pacific salmon live most of their life in the ocean, but as adults they return to the stream where they hatched in order to spawn. They use their olfactory senses (their sense of smell) to find their spawning grounds in their home river, and at least one species, the sockeye salmon, can also sense differences in Earth’s magnetic field to navigate back to its home stream from the open ocean.

Korrina: Cue the music!

Music Video About Salmons: Water Music, Suite No. 3 in G, Gigue, Handel

Otter

David: As members of the weasel family, otters spend most of their lives in the water, and they are made for it! The otters' sleek, streamlined bodies are perfect for diving and swimming. Otters also have long, slightly flattened tails that move sideways to propel them through the water while their back feet act like rudders to steer.

Timon: Otters are so cute!

Pumbaa: How playful are they?

David: Otters are very energetic and playful. You might say they love to party! They are intelligent and curious, and they are usually busy hunting, investigating, or playing with something. Otters like to throw and bounce things, wrestle, twirl, and chase their tail. They also play games of tag and chase each other, both in the water and on the ground. River otters seem to like sliding down mud banks or in the snow—they’ll do it over and over again! All this activity is part of the otters’ courtship, social bonding, and communication behavior, and since young otters need practice, they tend to be even more playful than the adults.

Animals At The Beach

Shellington: Hi! It's nice to meet all of you.

David: He will be your ocean animal guide.

Crab

Neptune the Turtle chases the Crawling Crab until it snaps him on the nose. He tries shaking it off but it won't get off!

Shellington: Crabs are crustaceans that belong to the same family as lobsters. Walking or crawling is the usual mode of locomotion, and the familiar sidelong gait in the common shore crab is characteristic of most members of the group.

Pumbaa: Wow, they can walk sideways!

Timon: I guess that's what makes crabs unique.

Shellington: Most crabs live in the sea. Even the land crabs, which are abundant in tropical countries, usually visit the sea occasionally and pass through their early stages in it.

Sea Lion

(Neptune balances a Yellow Ball on his nose behind a sea lion stock photo.)

Iris: Neptune! Neptune! What are you doing here? This is no time for circus tricks!

(Neptune laughs and walks away)

Shellington: Sea lions, seals, and walruses are in a scientific group of animals called pinnipeds, which means "wing foot." You could probably pick out a walrus if you saw one, but how do you tell sea lions and seals apart? Sea lions and seals are marine mammals, spending a good part of each day in the ocean to find their food. They all have flippers at the end of their limbs to help them swim. Like all marine mammals, they have a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm in the chilly ocean. And they all like to eat fish. And by fish, I mean lots of fish!

(Sea lion barking twice)

Shellington: There are 6 species of sea lion: Northern, California, Galapagos, Southern, Australian and New Zealand. All of which can be found in the Pacific Ocean. Let's see the sea lions in action! Cue the music, maestro!

Music Video About Sea Lions: Grande Valse Brillante, Chopin

Wind-Up Seals: Blue Danube Waltz, Strauss II

Seagull

Neptune is having a picnic on the sand until he hears seagulls.

Shellington: Seagulls can be found flying anywhere, but their native range is beaches and oceans. But be careful when you have picnics at the beach, because seagulls could steal your food!

Serena: Maybe having picnics at the beach isn't the best idea.

Shellington: But do you know what is the best idea? Watching seagulls take flight! Hit it, maestro!

Music Video About Seagulls: Water Music Suite No. 1 in F, Air, Handel

Cormorant

Neptune sees the cormorant stock photo and dances.

Shellington: Found across Africa, cormorants prefer open water whether saline, fresh or brackish. In the ocean, it usually stays near shore since it likes relatively shallow water. Inland, it prefers to inhabit areas around lakes, dams, reservoirs, and rivers with sufficient fish.

Pumbaa: I see cormorants near water all the time!

Timon: Me too!

Shellington: The cormorant has adapted to balance thermoregulation and the need to reduce buoyancy to chase fish. Although they have an oil gland, they don’t appear to use it to waterproof feathers since that would retain air bubbles.

Music Video About Cormorants: Sonata for Bassoon & Cello in B-Flat Major, K. 292, 3rd Movement, Mozart

Pelican

Neptune sees the pelican stock photo and dances.

Shellington: It is easy to identify pelicans, because they are one of the only birds with a pouch under their bill.

Korrina: So I guess kangaroos aren't the only animals with pouches!

Shellington: Along with the giant pouch, pelicans are a large bird with short legs, and they appear rather clumsy on land. Once in the water, they are strong swimmers, thanks to their webbed feet.

Animals In The Ocean

David: Onto the ocean, filled with lots of water, and of course, a wide variety of animals. However, the ocean is changing, because people are throwing plastic and other garbage into the oceans, and that harms the water and its inhabitants. But luckily, people who care about nature are trying their hardest to keep the ocean clean.

Turtle, Fish, and Dolphin

Mr Bubbles

Divin The Dolphin dives near the picture

Shellington: As we learn about the next three animals, I have prepared a sing-along! It's a song called deep blue sea!

Iris: Wow! Can we sing along?

Shellington: (To Iris, Timon, Pumbaa, Korrina And Serena) Sure! (To the viewer) And you can sing along with us!

Pumbaa: All Right!

Korrina: Cue The Music!

(Dep Blue Sea Starts Playing)

Shellington: First, the turtles! Turtles spend most of their life in the water. They tend to have webbed feet for swimming. Sea turtles are especially adapted for an aquatic life, with long feet that forms flippers and a streamlined body shape. They rarely leave the ocean, except when the females come ashore to lay their eggs, although some species, such as the green sea turtle, do come out on reefs and beaches to bask.

(Music Video About Turtles: Deep Blue Sea, Jack Moss)

Shellington: Now, to the dolphins! Dolphins have smooth skin, flippers, and a dorsal fin. They have a long, slender snout with about 100 teeth, and a streamlined body. The single blowhole on top of their head has a flap that opens to reveal a pair of nostrils, which dolphins use for breathing when they surface. Dolphins are found in all the oceans of the world. Some live mainly along coastlines, but others live far out at sea. Unlike fish, who move their tails from side to side, these aquatic mammals move their tails up and down, just like whales and porpoises, who belong to the same family as the dolphins.

(Music Video About Dolphins: Deep Blue Sea, Jack Moss)

Shellington: And last but not least, the fish! Fish are found in every part of the world. Some have dull colours, while others have bright and beautiful colours. Each species of fish is different and exploits its environment in its own way.

(Music Video About Fish: Deep Blue Sea, Jack Moss)

Jumping Dolphins

Whale

Neptune The Turtle pulls the ship's steering wheel to reveal a picture of two whales.

Shellington: Whales are distributed throughout the world’s oceans and seas. All are entirely aquatic, with specialized adaptations such as flippers and tail flukes for living in water.

Korrina: They use echolocation, right?

Shellington: Yes, they use echolocation to communicate with other whales. Species of whales include the humpback whale, beluga whale, blue whale and narwhal. Even though orcas are nicknamed killer whales, orcas are actually a type of dolphin.

Music Video About Whales: The Moldau, Hunt, Smetana

Stingray

Neptune sees the stingray stock image

Shellington: Stingrays are named for the spine on the top of their whiplike tail, which is about 1/3 of the way from the body toward the end of the tail, wich the rays use for defense.

Pumbaa: Which stingray is the largest?

Shellington: The largest of the stingrays is the manta ray, which is found in tropical, subtropical and temperate bodies of water.

Music Video About Stingrays: Music for the Royal Fireworks, Menuet Medley, Handel

Lobster

Neptune appears with his claws

Shellington: All lobsters are marine and bottom-dwelling, and most are nocturnal. Lobsters scavenge for dead animals but also eat live fish, small mollusks and other bottom-dwelling invertebrates, and seaweed. The mainly tropical slipper lobsters are rather flat and clawless, with antennae flattened into broad plates. Most species are short and small and of little economic importance.

Korrina: Let's see some lobsters in action!

Zebra

Monet The Zebra appears and Jane laughs behind a zebra stock photo.

David: Zebras are sturdy, spirited animals that are in a study of contrasts: social and standoffish, resilient and vulnerable, willful and playful. Their life in a herd can be complex, yet they also find safety in numbers.

Timon: But David, I have a question that many people have been wondering: Are zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

David: Well, zebras are thought to have white coats with black stripes. Thats because if you look at most zebras, the stripes end on their belly and toward the inside of their legs. The rest of the zebra's body is white. Each zebra has a unique stripe pattern. No two zebras are alike.

Korrina: Just like snowflakes!

Iris: She hunts like a cheetah.

Serena: And SHE SCARES ME!

Timon: Well, don’t get too attached, chumps! ‘Cause we’re the new owners!

Serena: Okay, first question. This small bird loves to drink flowers. (Serena shows a shilouette of a hummingbird) What animal is it? (Interacting like Dora.) Good Job! This is a hummingbird. (Gong!)

Korrina: My turn! These 2 animals come from Africa. (Korrina shows a shilouette of a chimpanzee and a meerkat.) Do you know what they are? Great! These animals are the meerkat and the Chimpanzee. (Gong!)

Timon: Next question. Which animal is a herbivore? Okapi or Walrus? (Timon shows 2 stock images of a walrus and okapi.) The walrus is a carnivore, but it must be okapi! (Gong!)

Pumbaa: My turn! Pick the 10 animals. (Pumbaa show 10 stock images of a leopard, gorilla, shark, crow, yak, eagle, cockatoo, cardinal, blue jay, and crocodile.) Switch them from A-Z. Blue Jay, Cardinal, Cockatoo, Crow, Crocodile, eagle, gorilla, leopard, shark, and yak. You got it! (Gong!)

David: Next question. Which animal does not belong in the finale? That's right! The zebra is the animal what does not belong. (Gong!)

Shellington: My turn! True or false: Whales and dolphins are mammals. (Shellington shows images of a whale and a dolphin) The answer is true!

Korrina: One last question. Can you find the emu? Awesome! Can you find the hedgehog? All Right! Can you find the roadrunner? Good job! And last but not least, (imitating a peacock) can you find the peacock? Very Good! Let the parade begin! (Gong!)

 Neptune appears with his claws
+Shellington: All lobsters are marine and bottom-dwelling, and most are nocturnal. Lobsters scavenge for dead animals but also eat live fish, small mollusks and other bottom-dwelling invertebrates, and seaweed. The mainly tropical slipper lobsters are rather flat and clawless, with antennae flattened into broad plates. Most species are short and small and of little economic importance.
