[slow music]

[Tim] If I were an anima, I wanna be a Humpback whale.

[Emma] Then you get to call the whole ocean your home.

-[wails] -[Emma] Oh, look,Tim. It's a baby.

I'm going to name you Igor, my big little buddy.

[Tim] Little but big indeed.

Igor was more than a tone!

[Emma] That's as heavy as a car!

[hums]

[Emma] Huh? Are they going out for fresh air?

-[hisses] -[Tim] That's right.

They breath air through something called the "blowhole".

Even though they can only live in water, whales aren't fish.

They're mammals just like us.

[wails]

[Emma] But how do they hold their breath for so long?

[Tim] Whales have special lungs.

So they can store extra air and hold their breath up to 45 minutes.

[Emma] Aah!

[squealing]

[Emma] Aw. They're cuddling.

Igor is so cute and small.

How long until he's all grown up?

[Tim] At least two or three years.

That's a plenty of time to snuggle and learn from mom.

[Emma] Wow, great jump!

[Tim] That's a Humpback whale specialty.

[Emma] Why does his chin kinda look like an accordion?

[Tim] Because it's covered in folds of skin.

So he can open his mouth real wide.

[fizzing]

[majestic music]

[hums]

-[squealing] -[Emma] Hey, Tim.

Don't whales usally sing?

It's sounds more like Igor is whispering in his momma's ear.

[Tim] They are singing.

When babies are with their mother, they emit tiny, little squeals.

So mom knows where they are.

But when his asking to eat, Igor nozzles onto his mom.

[Igor squeals]

[Emma] Ooh, he did it.

[Tim] Did you know he drinks about 150 liters every time he nurses.

[Emma] Wow, that's a 150 bottles of milk.

"Thanks, momma."

[Tim] She's keeping a close eye on her little one.

He can't get too far without her on his tail.

[wails]

[wails]

[squealing]

[Emma] Come on, Igore. Do another jump for us.

[Tim] It looks awesome and it builds muscle.

The more muscular you are, Igor, the deeper you can dive.

[Emma and Tim] Wow!

[Tim] He's as good as you at splashing. [chuckles]

[plops]

[magical chiming]

[Emma] Cool.

Igor knows how to blow bubbles.

His mom, too.

[Tim] Yes, but this is serious.

His mother is in the middle of teaching him a special whale trick.

You'll see.

[Emma] Wow, a wall of bubbles.

Oh, I know. They're fishing.

The bubbles trap the fish.

[Tim] Chomp. All Igor needs to do to eat is open wide.

[Emma] That's so clever.

If I was a Humpback whale,

I'd be the bubble trap fishing champ.

[playful music]

[Tim] "Mm, that was tasty."

[Tim chuckles]

[croaks]

[Tim] Igor has to make the most of it

because Humpback whales only feed in the summer

You got to stock up before migrating through cold waters.

[Emma blows raspberries]

[Tim] True.

But next year when Igor and his mom return,

they'll have a feast.

[squeals]

Safe travels Humpback whales.

[Igor squeals]

[Emma] So long, Igor.

[calm music]

[Emma] If I were an animal,

I'd wanna be a sea turtle and swim through the warm tropical oceans.

[Tim] Did you know, Emma?

Turtles of all kinds had been around since the dinosaur age.

[Emma] Oh...

I'm going to call this one Marina.

[thumps]

What is she doing with the coral, Tim?

She's snacking on seaweed and sea sponges

[Emma] Whoa! She's so pretty flying through the water.

Ah, but those fish are so clingy.

[Tim] Those are the cleaners.

They hitch a ride while they clean Marina up.

[Emma] Her beak is great at grabbing food from the rough coral.

[Tim] It better be. She has no teeth to bite them off with.

[Emma] Marina has very good table manners.

She's like a pricess.

[Tim] She's got to find all the urchins, jellyfish and sponges as she can.

She's been swimming hundreds of miles.

[Emma] And I know why.

She's returning to the beach that she was born at.

So she can lay her eggs. Right, Tim?

[rumbles]

[Tim] Yup, and it's hard work walking on land with such a heavy shell.

[Emma] Maybe so, but our Marina can do everything so gracefully.

Swim, walk and dig.

[sand rasps]

But won't the eggs break from falling that high?

[Tim] Nope, they have soft elastic shells.

So they can handle it.

[Emma] There, the eggs are all hidden.

Hey, Marina. Where are you going?

[splashing]

[Tim] Back to sea.

Her babies will hatch on their own in two months.

[playful music]

[Emma] Oh, there's one.

Look, how wiggly she is.

[Tim] She's in a hurry.

She's racing to the water where she'll be much safer.

[water bubbling]

[Emma] Will she come back to lay her eggs when she's older, too?

[Tim] Yes, to this exact beach.

[Emma] Well, good luck and safe travels, Baby Marina.

Yeah!

[Tim] Now If I were an animal, I'd wanna be a tortoise.

[Emma] I'll call her Chloe.

She's just like you, Tim. Hard to wake-up in the morning.

[Tim] Actualy, it's because she needs to warm up

before she can start her day.

Reptiles rely on the sun to heat themselves up.

[mysterious music]

[Emma] Hey, little lizard. You look a little toasty over there.

[Tim] "I am. Let's scram."

[Emma giggles]

[Tim] Good thing she kicked herself up.

Tortoises can't roll over on their own if they land belly up.

[Emma] Her little lizard buddy is pretty sneaky.

[Emma giggles] He's hitching a ride on her back.

[Tim] At least he's light.

Her shell is almost as heavy as you, Emma.

"Thanks, Taxi."

[Emma and Tim chuckle]

[playful music]

[Emma] Look, Chloe made a friend.

[Tim] And they're going on a lunch date.

[leaves rasp]

[Tim] Those redcurrant looks tasty.

[Emma] Yum, yum.

[playful music continues]

[Emma] Oh, Chloe is laying her eggs.

[Tim] See how she neatly positions them with her back legs?

[Emma] So gentle.

But why is she laying her eggs in the evening?

Because at this hour there aren't any predators watching.

[Emma] You don't even see her nest.

Good job, Chloe.

[Tim] And two months later...

[birds chirping]

[Emma] Aw, it's a miniature Chloe.

Go wash up now.

She should also get a drink of water and find some food.

[Emma] There you go, little one. You're ready to discover the world.

Goodbye, mini Chloe.

[chuckling]

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

[Tim] I'd bet you'd be the one who never wants to go to sleep.

[chuckles] [Emma] What's that suppose to mean, Tim?

[whining]

[Emma] I'm gonna call this little one Hanna.

[lion growl from a distance]

[Tim] You know, Hyenas have amazing eyesight.

So babies are never afraid of the dark.

[Emma] That means they can play all night long.

And bother the neighbors.

[groans]

[sniffing]

[Emma] Aw.

[Tim] Ms. Hanna is barely awake.

And she's already off exploring.

-[growling] -[Emma] Watch your teeth.

[Tim] Don't worry. Hyenas have super strong jaws.

They can even chew through bone.

[Emma] A little hug from momma and she's off again.

[Tim] Hanna's nose can pick up all the smells in the Savannas air.

[howls]

[Emma] But mom doesn't want her to go too far.

[Tim] Woop, woop.

All aboard the Hyena Express.

-[Emma] Oh, what kind of birds are those? -[Tim] Grey crowned cranes.

And it looks like Hanna's a little scared of them.

[Tim chuckles]

[growling]

[shushes] [Emma] Momma's having a nap.

[Tim] It's tough being the mother hyena.

She never gets a break.

[Emma] That's gotta a tickle.

[sniffing]

Huh?

[chuckles]

[Emma] Look, Hanna has pretty spots now. Just like her momma.

[Tim] But she still wonders off without her permission.

[snarls]

[growls]

[Emma] Oops, she doesn't like being carried like a baby anymore.

[Tim] She's the future leader of the pack.

So she's always had a bit of an attitude.

[Emma] "Okay, I'll go.

But I'll do it all on my own."

[Tim] Did you see that?

Even with her brothers and sisters this rascal wants to lay down the law.

[whining]

[growls]

[Emma] What? Is she eating wood?

[Tim] No, Emma.

She's sharpening her teeth to make chomping and chewing easier.

[Hanna growls]

[squealing]

[Emma chuckles]

[hyena chuckle]

[growls]

[Emma] If I were a hyena, I'd wanna be a the future queen.

So I could be the spoiled one of the pack.

Just like Hanna.

[whistling]

Whoa!

[growling]

[Emma] Whoever can hold on to the lump of dirt longest wins.

[Tim] There's no way Hanna will let her siblings beat her.

She's got to prove herself as the future leader.

[growls]

[playful music]

[Emma] Queen Hanna knows how to get respect.

[Tim] The Wildebeest are afraid of her even when she's not trying to be scary.

[laughing]

[Emma] She loves to hide things in the water.

[Tim] Her majesty goes for a royal swim at least once a day to freshen up.

[Emma blows raspberries] That feels good.

[snarling]

[Tim] It looks like Hanna is also the big boss of the Jackals

[Emma] She's taken over their napping corner.

[Tim] She truly is the head honcho.

[Emma] Sleep well Hanna.

[Tim] See you next time.

[horse neighs]

[Tim] If I were an animal, I'd wanna be a Camargue horse.

[Emma] Tim, it's a baby!

Come on, little guy. You can do it.

[Tim] It's a colt. He was just born.

But he's starting to get used to those legs.

[Emma] Twenty minutes old and he's already learned how to walk.

I'm going to call him Banjo.

[Tim] Look, Emma. This black colt want to be his friend.

[thumping]

[Emma] Why doesn't Banjo have a white coat too?

[Tim] Some foals are brown for camouflage.

But as they grow up, they turn a silvery white color.

The paler coat attracts fewer mosquitoes.

Whoops. It's not easy walking in the marshes.

[Emma] I'm sure Banjo will get the hang of it soon.

[Tim] Follow your parent's lead, Banjo.

Emma, did you know Camargue horses

are the only horses that know how to eat plants underwater?

[Emma] That's cool.

[squawking]

[Emma] Banjo sure is enjoying his reflection.

[Tim] Meanwhile, the coypu is washing his hair.

[Emma] This is the perfect spot to freshen up.

The horses are doing it, too.

[Tim] They're helping each other out.

They're like one big family where everyone takes care of each other.

[Emma] Poor things, they're going to get cold.

[Tim] To stay warm,

they're huddling together with their backs to the wind

while the leader keep watch.

[Emma] Banjo is much happier in the sun.

But I thought horses slept standing up.

[Tim] They do but foals don't.

Banjo will learn how when he grows up so he can quickly get away from danger.

[neighs]

[Emma] All ready for a walk, Banjo?

[Emma and Tim] See you soon, Camargue horses.

[Tim] If I were an animal, I could also be a Pottok Horse.

[Emma] Then you'd be a tough little two-colored pony

built for a mountain life.

Aw, he's so handsome.

I'm going to call him Paulie.

[Tim] You're friend Paulie looks like he has big plans for today.

-[Emma] Where's he going? -[Tim] Just wait and see.

[Emma] Wow, he's a great hiker.

He moves faster in the mountains than we do.

[Tim] Pottoks are sturdy strong horses.

They even know how to swim.

[Emma] He's not even tired. Good job, Paulie.

[Emma] Watch your head.

If I were a Pottok, I'd live free and climb the mountain at full speed.

[Tim] Oh, look. Someone is waiting for him.

[Emma] Well, obviously. He's visiting his cousin Paco.

"Hello, how you doing?"

[Tim] "Very well, thank you. And you?"

[Emma] Paco's coat is all black with white spots.

And Paulie's is all white with black spots.

They're the same size, but they're the exact opposite in color.

[Tim] Do you know what Pottok mean in Basque?

It means small size.

They're tinnie, tough and lively.

[Emma] Time to head back to your ownherd, Paulie.

-[Emma] Say goodbye to your cousins. -[Tim] Happy trails, Paulie.
