[playful music]

[Emma] Come out, come out, wherever you are.

[snorting]

[Emma] If I were an animal, I'd wanna be a wild boar.

[Tim] Like this sow and her piglets?

They're only three weeks old.

[Emma] I'll call this little piglet... Pete.

What's a sow?

[Tim] A sow is what you call a piglet's mom.

[squeals]

[Emma] Looks like it's lunch time.

Yeah. These little guys still drinks their mom's milk.

They must be hungry.

[chuckles] [Emma] Sure looks like it.

[baby boars slurping]

[snorting]

[Tim laughing]

[Tim] He wants more now, but Mom's had enough.

[playful music]

[Emma] Look, Tim, they tickle each other just like we do.

[Emma and Tim laughing]

[snorting]

[Tim] See what she's doing, Emma?

Mom is rubbing her scent on the tree to mark her territory.

[Emma laughs]

[Emma] I guess Pete wants to try.

It's his house too.

[snorts]

[Emma] What, they're eating again?

Yup, baby boars have to eat a lot.

Now that they're three weeks old,

they're starting to eat worms and leafy greens.

[sow snorting]

[baby boars squealing]

[squealing continues]

[chuckles] [Emma] Silly boars.

You're just gonna get dirtier.

[Tim] Actually, it's good for them.

The mud cools them down on hot days and helps get rids of parasites.

[Emma] Parasites?

[Tim] Yeah, they're really small bugs

that can make animals, especially boars, very sick.

[whimsical music]

[sniffs, snorts]

[Emma] Wow, is that Pete?

[Tim] Now that he's two years old, he's living on his own.

[Emma] Look, a little squirrel.

Let's call him... Sammy.

What's he doing, Tim?

[Tim] He's collecting food for his winter stash.

He better not wake up Pete because he loves acorns, too.

[snoring]

[Emma] Uh-oh.

[snorts]

[squeaks]

[snoring]

[exhales]

[Tim] It's the odors that wake him up.

A boar's eyesight isn't very good.

[Emma] Quick, Sammy, find a place to hide your acorn.

[squeaks]

[snorts]

[Emma] if I were a boar, I'd wear glasses.

[Emma and Tim laughing]

[munching]

[jazz music]

[squeaking]

[Emma] Wow, Pete looks like a giant compared to that mouse.

[Tim] He's trying to track the mouse using his super nose.

[Emma] Here we go.

[playful music]

[Tim] "Tag. You're it."

[sniffing]

[Emma] Pete won.

[squeaks]

[Emma] "Yuck, you got me all wet with your nose."

[snorting]

[chuckles] [Emma] Look how Pete bathes in the mud

while the mouse gracefully cleans herself.

[grunts, snorting]

[squeaking]

[calm music]

[water splashes]

[Tim] Wow, I wish I had that pool.

[Emma] He's squeaky clean for his next adventure.

[Emma and TIm] See you later, Pete.

[suspenseful music]

[Emma] If I were an animal, I'd wanna be a panther.

[Tim] Emma, did you know that leopards are a type of panther?

[Emma] Really?

Then I'll call this spotted one... Leo The Leopard.

[purrs]

[Tim] See how she's licking him? That's how she gives her babies a bath.

[Emma] Then cuddles are like a warm soft towel to dry them off.

[Emma] Shh, I think it's time for their afternoon catnap.

[purring]

[Emma and Tim laughing]

[Emma] He's so cute when he sleeps on his mom.

Her soft purring and gentle breathing is a perfect lullaby for Leo.

[playful music]

[Emma] Leo, your den is so high up and hidden.

[Emma] Don't worry, he'll a find a way.

[playful music]

[barks]

[Tim] I think he spotted something.

[Emma] Is that a new friend? Don't be afraid, Leo.

[growling]

[Tim] This jackal sure is friendly. But leopards are solitary animals.

[soft music]

[growls]

[barks]

[Tim] Looks like Mom's coming to the rescue.

[purrs]

[barks]

[squeaks]

[groans]

[Emma] Aw, that's so cute.

I wish I was a baby leopard so Mama could carry me like that.

[light music]

[Tim] Rise and shine, Leo.

Today, you've got school and Mom's your teacher.

[Emma] So, what's the lesson today?

[Emma] Oh, okay. He's learning how to crawl without making a sound.

[Tim] Fail.

[Emma and Tim laughing]

[grumbles]

[Emma] You got lucky, Mr. Bird. It's time for Leo's recess.

[grunts]

[growls]

[grunts]

[purrs]

[Tim] If Leo wants to talk with the baby giraffe,

he's gonna need more climbing lessons.

[Emma] Wait, I thought leopards were expert climbers.

[squeaks, growl]

I guess, it's when they're adults.

[growls]

[squeaks]

[Tim] Look, his mom's watching to make sure nothing happens.

But she's leaving him alone to learn for himself.

[playful music]

[Emma] One day you'll be as big as your mom.

And you'll climb as high as a giraffe's neck, Leo.

[calm music]

[dramatic music]

[Tim] Leo is two years old now, which means he lives all on his own.

[Emma] And he still doesn't wanna play with that jackal.

[barks]

[baboon screeches]

[Tim] Not with that cheeky baboon either.

[screeches]

[growls]

[Tim] Don't let him get to you, Leo.

-[growls] -[screeches]

[Emma] It's so quiet here.

If I were a leopard, I'd spend my day sleeping in the trees.

[squeaks]

[growls]

[Tim] That's the good life, Leo.

[theme music]

[Tim] If I were an animal, I'd wanna be a brown bear.

[Emma] I'm gonna call this little teddy Brandon.

[Tim] Oopsie.

[Emma and Tim laughing]

[Emma] Is this where he lives, Tim?

[Tim] It's "home sweet home" for now.

Bears rest all winter, usually in a den.

[Emma] But now that the snow has melted hibernation is over.

[Tim] Look, Emma, he has a twin sister.

[growls]

[playful music]

[Emma] Oh, bears make climbing trees look easy.

[Tim] Climbing up, sure, but he hasn't learned how to get down yet.

-[groans] -[Emma and Tim laughing]

[growls]

[Emma] What's over there?

Fresh fish.

Ahh.

[growls]

[Emma] Come on, buddy,

if you want your lunch, you're gonna have to work for it.

[Tim] What a clever little guy, he's herding the fish towards his mom.

[playful music]

[Emma] Yum. I bet you like that, don't you?

[growls]

[cooing]

[upbeat music]

[Tim] Brandon is just like you, Emma. He loves cuddling.

[Emma] Snuggles are the best.

See how happy he is?

[grunts]

[bees buzzing]

[Tim] Oh, look, a beehive.

[Emma] That must mean there's honey.

[lively music]

[Emma] Brandon is not afraid of getting stung.

[Tim] He doesn't need to be. His thick fur will protect him.

[Emma] Oh.

[Tim] Bears have great memories and are very smart animals.

They learn from their mistakes, just like us.

[calm music]

[sighs]

[Tim] Another winter has come and gone.

[Emma] Oh, wow, Brandon's grown so much.

[growls]

[groans]

[Tim laughing]

[Tim] I don't think he's fully awake yet.

[Emma] Just like you in the morning, Tim.

[Emma and Tim laughing]

[playful music]

[growling]

[roaring]

[Tim] Brandon and his sister aren't cubs anymore but they still play.

[Emma] Well, when we grow up, we'll still play together, too.

[lively music]

[growls]

[Tim] Having fun chasing those birds, buddy?

[Emma and Tim laughing]

[squawks]

[grumbles]

[Emma] Is Brandon trying to breath underwater?

[Tim] No, it's a special fishing technique.

Look, he's such a pro.

[splashing]

[Emma] Whoa, I wish we could do that.

-[Tim] Hmm. -[Emma] Yummy.

[munching]

[Tim] Fish won't be enough, though.

Brandon needs to eat a lot of food after hibernation.

[Emma] So he eats everything that he can get his paws on.

[upbeat music]

[Emma] Hm, raspberries, good choice.

[Tim] He can take in about 10 to 20 kilograms of food per day.

[Emma] Uh-oh, if I were a bear,

I wouldn't put my nose in an anthill.

[Tim] It stings, doesn't it? Good thing he's got some cold water.

[Tim] So long, Brandon.

[Emma] See you later, Mr. Brown Bear.

[upbeat music]

[Emma] If I were an animal, I'd wanna be a meerkat in the desert.

[Tim] Then you'd live with your whole family.

[Emma] So that means, there's more than one mom and dad in there.

[Tim] What are you gonna call this little climber, Emma?

[Emma] Luna.

[Tim] Whoops.

[Emma] They looks so funny when they're standing up.

Why do they do that?

[Tim] So they can see what's happening in the savanna.

There's always one of them on the lookout,

while the rest do their jobs.

[Emma] Like napping? [laughing]

[rustling]

[Emma] Aww, so cute.

[Tim laughs]

[squeaking]

[Emma] Luna is really good at playing the guard of the pack.

[Tim] Yeah, but let see who's the best climber.

[Emma] Alert! Alert!

[Tim] Don't worry, if there's danger, they'll go hide.

Right now, they're just being curious.

[sniffing]

[squeaking]

[Emma] Oh, she spotted something over there.

Luna is the most curious of them all.

[Tim] I think she dreams of being the guard one day too.

[squealing in distance]

[Emma] She's so funny. She's being a copycat.

[comical music]

[Tim laughing]

[Tim] And Luna continues to keep watch.

[Emma] That squirrel is huge.

[Tim] It's more like meerkats are just really, really small.

[Emma] Even when they stand they can't reach my knees.

[squeaking]

[Tim] You know meerkats have a super sense of smell for finding bugs in the sand,

like a built-in bug detector.

[Emma] Luna's gonna eat a scorpion? That's gonna sting her.

[Tim] Don't worry, Emma,

meerkats are immune to most types of poison and venom.

[Emma and Tim laughing]

[lively music]

[Emma] Hey, don't burry your brother with sand.

[Emma laughing]

[Emma] When they aren't eating or sleeping,

meerkats are digging.

[Tim] And some keep look out like on a pirate ship.

[Emma] But Luna, it's not worth going up so high to see the giraffes.

[squealing]

[Emma and Tim laughing]

[Tim] She sure loves climbing.

[Emma] Yeah, you got to practice a lot to do that job.

[squeaking]

[Tim] It's true, up there, she can spot all the dangerous animals.

[coos]

[squeaks]

[Emma] If I were a meerkat, I'd wanna be on the lookout

and play pirate just like Luna.

[light music]

[Emma] That's Luna? Look how she's grown.

[Tim] Yup, and now she's in charge of guarding her colony.

I think she sees something.

[Emma] Careful, Luna. Not so fast.

Come on, everyone, into the family burrow.

[suspenseful music]

[Emma] Aww, this little guy isn't fast enough.

He needs to hide, too. Hey, wait for him.

[Tim] Don't worry, Emma. They've notice he's missing.

[squeaking]

[Tim] Meerkats never leave one of their own behind.

[Emma] And here comes Luna to the rescue.

After all, she's in charge.

[Tim] Oh, yeah. You can count on her.

[squeaks]

[Emma] He's so tiny.

[dramatic music]

[Tim] Mission accomplished, Miss Luna.

[Emma] Good job, Luna. With you around, everyone is safe.

[Tim] Bye for now, meerkats.
