[theme music]

[Emma] If I were an animal,

I'd wanna have a long neck and big hooves.

[Tim] Like the giraffe!

Look, Emma. This one is just been born!

[Emma] Aww. I'm going to call her Jessie.

Come on, Jessie, get up on those wobbly legs.

[Tim] That's what her mom wants, too.

She's walking away to encourage her to stand on her own.

-Oops! -[both laughing]

[comical music]

[Emma] Knock, knock! Are you coming?

-[Tim] You can see it all from up here. -[purring]

[Emma] Tim, there's another mama nearby.

[Tim] It's handy being the tallest animal in the Savannah.

It lets you spot friends and foes, near and far.

[hyenas laughing]

[Emma] Uh-oh.

[tense music]

[hyena laughs]

[Tim] Get out of here! Take a hike!

[victorious music]

[Emma] Good idea, mama.

There's nothing like a kiss to make things better.

[playful music]

[Emma and Tim] Yeah, good job!

[playful music]

[hyena laughs]

[Emma and Tim giggling]

[comical music]

[Emma] Wow! Jessie has big hooves for such a teeny giraffe.

[Tim] Teeny? She's two meters tall!

[calm music]

[Tim] Now that she can stand up,

Jessie can reach her mother's milk on her own.

[calm music]

[comical music]

[birds chirping]

[Emma] Mama G is taller than the trees!

She's showing Jessie how to pick the good leaves.

[Tim] Acacia leaves are the best.

They're full of water, so they're like a meal and a drink all in one.

[Emma] Hey, it's rude to stick out your tongue.

[Tim] Actually, that's her special tool for catching and chewing leaves.

[playful music]

[Emma] Jessie, that's a silly face.

[playful music]

[Tim] Nothing like a stroll after dinner.

[Emma] Jessie is so full of energy.

She's running like she has ants in her pants.

[Emma laughs]

[playful music]

[birds chirping]

[Tim] Take a look at Jessie's drinking technique.

First, she spreads her legs,

then, she bends her knees.

And ta-da! Refreshing.

[water sloshing]

[Emma] I guess it's hard to drink from the watering hole

when you're tall like a giraffe.

[playful music]

[purrs]

[ostriches chirping]

[Emma] Oh, Jessie. If you try to race the ostriches...

[Tim] You can't expect to win.

Ostriches run much, much faster than giraffes.

[light music]

[comical music]

[Tim] No one runs quite like Jessie and her mom.

[upbeat music]

[Emma] If I were a giraffe, I'd love to live under my big hooves.

[Tim] Uh-oh. There's a lioness nearby.

[Emma] She's trying to be super sneaky.

But mama giraffe's spotted her. She knows what to do.

Exactly! She brings Jessie to the trees.

[action music]

[Emma] This is where the good hiding spots are.

[Tim] Where are they?

Go on! Get out of here, lioness! You're not on Mama G's level.

[sneaky music]

[Emma] Hey! Watch it, Mom.

[sniffing]

[Tim] Jessie's gonna give her a little space.

[Emma] See you, Jessie. See you, Mama G.

[seal howls]

[Emma] If I were an animal,

I'd wanna be a harbor seal from the North Pole.

[groans]

[Tim] Then you'd live like this little one and his mom.

-[Emma] That's her baby? -[water sloshing]

[Emma] But he doesn't look anything like her.

[Tim] That's because babies need to camouflage in the snow

-so they can be safe from predators. -[baby seal whimpers]

[Emma] I think I'm gonna call this little guy, Cecille.

[whimpers]

[groans]

[Emma] Oh! He drinks his mama's milk to get big and strong, too?

[groans]

[purrs]

[Tim] That's right, Emma, but he's gonna make the most of it,

'cause she'll only nurse him for two weeks.

-[Emma] That's all? -[whimpers]

Well, Cecille thinks it's delicious.

[soft whine]

[water splashing]

[playful music]

-[whines] -[snorts]

[Tim] Come and get in the water, Cecille.

-[whines] -[Emma] Brrr. Looks cold.

[Tim] Well, it is the North Pole, Emma.

[muffled purring]

[Tim] Cecille has a thick layer of blubber to protect him from the cold.

That way, he can spend his days in the freezing water.

[soft whine]

[Emma] Aww. Snuckles.

[growls]

[groans]

[Emma] Uh, you might wanna jump in, Cecille.

[Emma and Tim laughing]

[Cecille whimpers]

[Emma] Hey! I wasn't ready yet.

[Cecille whines]

[growls]

[Tim chuckles]

[Tim] By the time he gets back up, Cecille and his mother will be long gone.

[Emma] Good job, Cecille!

You swim so well for a beginner.

[whines]

[growls]

[Emma] You'll never catch me.

[growls]

[whimpers]

[Tim] His mom is so proud of him.

[soft whine]

[Emma and Tim chuckle]

[Emma] Time to warm up in the sun, Cecille.

[tinkling]

-[thuds] -[rattles]

[Tim] If you were a seal, you can also be a gray seal.

[Emma] Like Cecille's European cousins.

[Tim] They look like bananas.

Tummies in the sand, heads and tails in the sun.

[snorts]

[Emma] I'm going to call the one on the beach, Serena,

and the one splashing in the water, Samson.

[playful music]

[Emma] Come out and play, Serena.

[Tim] In she goes!

Seals are amphibious.

That means they live on land and in the water.

[Emma] Whoa! Look at Samson's nice teeth!

[playful music]

[Tim] Serena's going up for some air.

[Emma] And Samson's going deeper.

What's he gonna do down there, Tim?

[Tim] Take a nap.

To sleep underwater,

they stop breathing and slow down their heartbeat.

[Emma and Tim] Aww. Too cute.

[Tim] Serena prefers to nap near the surface.

Floating like a log.

Do you know what this position is called?

[Emma] Uh, I don't know.

[Tim] It's called the bottle position.

[snoring]

-[groans] -[water splashes]

[Tim] With so many different ways to nap,

it's hard not to be comfy.

[Emma chuckles]

[Emma] Looks like she settled on the banana position.

[wails]

[Tim] Watch out, Serena. The tide is coming in.

[Emma] Time to wake up, Samson.

[calm music]

[bubbling]

[Tim] Aww. He's sleeping so soundly.

It may not look like it, but his brain is only half-asleep.

That way, he stays alert in case there's danger.

[Emma] Come on, brother, rise and shine.

[dreamy music]

[whines]

[wails]

[Tim] See how they move around?

It's almost like a dance.

[Emma] Maybe it's their way of saying goodbye to us.

See you soon, Samson and Serena.

[upbeat music]

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

I'm gonna call this little one Carla.

[Tim] This is her first migration south for the winter,

and her parents are here to help guide her.

[Emma] So she'll remember the way for next year.

[Tim sighs] Finally, time to set up camp.

[calm music]

[Tim] Rise and shine, Carla.

[Emma] Up and at 'em, girl.

Time to freshen up!

[Tim] And don't forget to do your stretches.

[rustles]

-[Emma] Carla is so pretty! -[squawking in distance]

-[Tim] Know who else thinks so? -[crane squawking]

[Tim] This handsome crane.

[light music]

[Emma] Someone's showing off to get her attention.

[Tim] That's right! And his moves are working.

[clucking]

[Emma] Aww. What a cute couple. So romantic.

[Tim] And now that they found each other, they'll stay together for life.

[dreamy music]

[Emma] Look! The first one to hatch is a cute little red chick.

-[quacks] -[Emma] I'm going to call him Casper.

Stay warm next year, little brother Casper.

[chirping]

-[squawks] -[chirps]

[Tim] Daddy's home with dinner. Mm, larva.

[Emma] But it's almost as big as him.

[chomping]

[Tim] Don't worry. His dad knows what he's doing.

And just you wait. Soon, that'll be Casper's favorite meal.

[Tim imitates gulp]

[Tim laughs]

-[chittering] -[light thudding]

[whines]

[Emma] Wow, Casper! Two days old, and you're already trying to walk.

[chirping]

[Tim] Look! He's little brother is ready to come out.

-[Emma] Knock, knock! Anybody home? -[chirping]

[Tim] Quickly, Carla. You can't let him get cold.

[playful music]

[chirping]

-[Emma] What about me? -[chirping]

[Emma] If I were a crane, I'd be so cozy under mama's wing.

[Emma and Tim] Aww.

[playful music]

-[Tim] They're already bickering. -[chirping]

[water splashing in distance]

[Tim] No fighting.

[Emma] Casper's brother, Caden, is off to explore the river.

-[water splashing] -[chirping]

[Emma] The way he swims is so fun.

[playful music]

[Tim] He hasn't even put his head underwater.

[Tim laughs]

[Emma] Casper and Caden's legs have grown so much in just three weeks!

[Tim] Kids, it's time for your first flying lesson.

[Emma] As if. They'd rather have a picnic.

Tim, do they eat plants?

[Tim] Yup. And seeds, too!

It's so easy with their short, pointy beaks.

-[quacks] -[Emma] What did Caden see?

[clucking]

[Tim laughing]

[Tim] Casper was the first to hatch, and he wants to be the first to fly.

[Emma] But his wings are still too itty-bitty.

[Tim] Just be patient, Casper.

[squeals]

[scoffs]

[Emma] Wow! You're so handsome with your new feathers.

[Tim] Two and a half months sure went by fast.

[water sloshing]

[Emma] Maybe now it's time to learn to how fly.

[boar snorting]

[Tim] Look, the wild boars are here to give them the push they need.

[quacking]

[wings flapping]

[Emma] Yippee! Casper did it!

[flapping]

[Tim] Caden, too! Good job, little guys.

[Emma] Uh-oh. They still aren't that steady.

[foreboding music]

[Tim] But at least Casper landed safely.

[Emma and Tim chuckling]

[Emma] Are you ready, crane family?

-[Tim] Three. -[Emma] Two.

[Tim] One.

[Emma and Tim] Go!

[victorious music]

[Emma] Have a good flight, Casper and Caden.

See you next year.

[squawking]

[dreamy music]

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

[sniffing]

[Tim chuckles] That doesn't surprise me, Emma.

[Tim] You do sleep like a marmot.

[Emma] Wow! Her babies are so big.

-[Tim] Yup. -[sniffing]

[Tim] These little guys are already two months old.

[Emma] Aww. You're so cute.

I'm going to call you Marvin.

[chirps]

[Emma] It's spring. All the little ones are coming out of their burrows.

Even the fox cubs.

[Tim] Mother marmot already spotted them.

She has eyes on the side of her head to help her keep track

of her surroundings.

[playful music]

[Emma] Tim! There's so many of them!

[Tim] That's right. It's a whole family.

With grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles.

[Emma] Marvin loves kisses. Nuzzle, nuzzle.

[whines]

[playful music]

[Tim] Marmots love to wrestle.

It's how they develop their muscles and reflexes.

[playful music]

[Emma] That's right, Marvin. Don't forget to eat.

[Emma and Tim laugh] What a pig.

[slurping]

[exhales]

[Emma] His garden is so pretty.

[Tim] And well-chosen. Good altitude, plenty of sun...

[Emma] And there are lots of plants to munch on, too.

-Dinner time, kids! -[Tim] Marvin eats twice a day.

Like all marmots, he's a herbivore.

[playful music]

[Emma] That's so precious.

His little hands hold things just like ours.

And his front teeth are for chewing stems.

-[Emma] But what did they drink? -[Tim] They don't!

They get their water from dew and the plants that they eat.

-[screeches] -[Emma] What's he doing?

Look! He's practicing his wrestling skills.

[playful music]

[Emma] Go, Marvin! Go!

[playful music]

-[chirps] -[Emma] What's that yelling?

[Tim] Marmots have a special code.

A bunch of short screams means danger is far away.

One single scream means danger is close by.

-Oh, cool. Like cute little secret agents. -[screeching]

[Emma] There's an eagle! Quick! Everyone into the burrow.

[Tim] All right. The coast is clear.

[playful music]

[Emma] This shammy is so curious.

[Tim] It's time for Marvin's family to move.

Now that it's winter, they'll hibernate lower down the mountain.

[Emma chuckles] Is this a mustache contest?

[Tim] No. They're collecting grass to make a bed in their burrow.

[Emma] But he's just stuffing his face.

[Tim] Since they're about to hibernate, they need a fat nap as much as possible.

[Emma] If I were a marmot, I'd sleep to the whole winter.

[snoring]

[calm music]

[sniffing]

[Tim gasps] Feels good to stretch your paws

after a five-month nap.

[chirping]

[Emma] My little Marvin is so skinny now.

[Tim] That's normal.

He lost half his weight, but he still got some fat reserves.

[Emma] I guess he can eat once the snow has melted.

[Tim] Yup. For now he needs to rehydrate.

[upbeat music]

[Tim] It's time for spring cleaning in the marmot den.

-The bedding needs to be change. -[Emma] Again?

[Tim] Yup. And everyone helps.

[Emma] But the little ones still get time to play, right?

[Tim] Of course!

The whole pack is taking advantage of the whole weather.

[playful music]

[Emma and Tim] See you later, Marvin and the marmot crew!

[playful music]
