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

[Emma] Then, you'd have lots in common with humans.

She's so cute, I'm going to call her Goma.

[Tim] This is her father.

You can tell by his silver back that he's the leader of the tribe.

[pants]

[Emma] He's coming over to see how she's doing.

[Tim] This leader may look tough, but he's nice to his whole tribe.

[grunts]

[pants]

[grunts]

[Emma] Goma is just like me.

She loves her daddy.

[Tim] Yup, and she learns a lot by imitating him.

[pants]

Some gorillas wash their food before eating, just like us.

[Emma] It's so nice to take a ride on Mama's back.

[Tim] Gorilla don't have houses, so they're always roaming

in search of food.

[screeching]

[Emma] Aw, lucky!

Goma's allowed to play in the mud.

[Tim] Simon says, "Let's go."

[Emma] Goma loves the water, but her Mama sure, doesn't.

[pants]

[grunts]

[Tim] She's trying so hard to not get her toes wet.

[Emma] Simon says, "Take a break."

[Tim] Goma knows she needs to let the leader rest.

[snoring]

[Emma] But she just want a hug from her daddy.

[Tim] And Dad can never say no.

[grunts]

[pants]

[Tim] Uh-oh, there's a storm coming.

[thunder]

[rain pouring]

[Emma] Oops. [chuckles]

[Tim] Only baby gorillas can climb trees,

because as they get bigger, they get too heavy.

[drum music]

[hoots]

[Emma] I love when gorillas play drums on their chests.

[Tim] That's one of the ways they communicate.

[grunts]

[yawns]

[thumping]

[laughing]

[Emma] Goma is always goofing off to her daddy.

[chuckles] [Tim] He really is the nicest dad.

[whines]

[grunts]

[Emma] Ha! Tag, you're it!

[Tim] Goma's four now, but she's still as playful as ever.

[grunts]

[Emma] And caring, too.

If I were a gorilla, I'll give my family so many hugs.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[Tim] Dad picks planks that hold lots of water.

They're a rehydrating snack.

He's a folivore.

[Emma] Right, that means he eats leaves.

[crackling]

[sniffs]

[Tim] He also eats insects.

Goma doesn't feel like trying that.

[munching]

[rustles]

[Emma] Goma's allowed to eat with her fingers?

[Tim] Yup. Gorillas have powerful hands, but they can be agile, too.

[Emma] Wow, what a view.

[Tim] Good night, Goma and company.

[light music]

[clicks]

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

I think I'll call this little calf Daphne.

[Tim] See how she stays close to her mother?

That's because she can't swim well yet.

[Emma] Look, Mama's guiding her to the surface to breathe.

[Tim] Yup, dolphins have lungs, just like us.

[Emma] Tickle, tickle. Got your tummy.

[Tim laughs] Actually,

she's tapping her mother's stomach to let her know she's hungry.

[Emma] Oh, I get it. This is the way baby dolphins get their milk.

[dolphins click]

[water splashing]

[Emma] Shh, it's nap time, everyone.

[Tim] Daphne's mom is off to get lunch.

[Tim] So she leaves her with her godmother.

[Emma] Really?

[Tim] Yup, she helped her from the day she was born.

So she'll keep Daphne safe and sound.

[click]

[water splashing]

[Emma] Hey, she's doing a headstand.

[uplifting music]

[whistles]

[Emma] Wow, what a jump!

You're turn, Daphne.

[Tim] She's still too little to jump like that.

She'll learn, but her mini jump is great for now.

[whistles]

[squeaks]

[boings]

[squeaks]

[Emma] Aw, Daphne's so snuggly.

[Tim] Dolphins have very sensitive skin, so they love nuzzling.

[squeaks]

[Emma] Do you see that, Tim? Daphne's drawing with her tail.

[Tim] Actually, it's even more clever than that.

[squeaks]

This is a fishing technique that her mom taught her.

See how she lifts the sand and silt with her big sweeps?

[Emma] That way the fish can't see anything.

Yum.

[bubbling]

[squeaks]

[splashing]

[Tim] Miss Daphne can even fish while doing the backstroke.

[chirping]

[Emma] Wait, she swallows everything whole?

[Tim] Yup, her sharp teeth are for trapping prey, not for chewing.

Her stomach does all the work.

[splashing]

[Emma] If I were a dolphin, I'd always play with my food.

[squeaks]

Watch out for that pelican!

[Tim] Too late.

[chirping]

[Tim] Now that Daphne's older,

she's starting to swim without her mother's help.

[Emma] Fun! She found a friend to play with.

[splashing]

[Emma] It looks like she's doing ribbon gymnastics.

[squeaks]

[whistles]

[Tim] Daphne is such a chatterbox.

Did you know that dolphins have a very elaborate language?

It takes about two years for a calf to learn it.

[Emma] That's a really long time.

[sloshing]

[Emma] What's that new toy?

[Tim] It's a bubble ring.

She makes them with her blowhole and tries to catch them.

[Emma] That's amazing.

[dreamy music]

[squeaks]

[sloshing]

[Tim] Now, back to the fishing game.

[Emma] Look, they are racing.

[playful music]

[sloshing]

[splashing]

[Emma] Yay, Daphne won.

[Tim] Sorry, Mr. Pelican.

[squawking]

[victorious music]

[Tim] Dolphins are so smart.

But the best part is they learn everything by playing.

[squeak]

[Emma] See you later, Daphne. Have fun.

-[light music] -[chirping]

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

[splashing]

[Tim] Then you'd live by a beautiful river.

[Emma] Mrs. Otter, I'm going to call you Olivia.

[Tim] Emma, do you see how quickly she can swim?

[Emma] Yeah, and she keeps her eyes open.

Is that so she can find fish?

[Tim] Actually, her whiskers do vibrations in the water.

That way, she can even fish at night.

[splashes]

[sloshing]

[Emma] Great hiding spot, Olivia.

[Tim] It's her holt.

That's what you call an otter's den.

[Emma] Ooh, look at that belly.

[Tim] She's gonna have babies very soon.

[Emma] Aw, they're so cute.

[squeaks]

[chirping]

[chugging]

[growling]

[chirping]

[Emma] Why are they so squirmy, Tim?

[Tim] These little guys are hungry.

-[growling] -[chirping]

[chugging]

[Emma] They've grown so much in three months.

[Tim] The otter pups are just about ready to leave the holt.

[Emma] They look like me when I am bored.

[Tim chuckles] They're waiting for their mother.

[splashes]

[Emma] "Who wants dinner?"

[Tim] Olivia's weaning her babies off of milk

and getting them use to eating fish.

[playful music]

[bubbling]

[splashes]

[Emma] Good catch, Olivia.

[playful music continues]

[hissing]

[Emma] Ah, finally. Time to get some fresh air.

[grunts]

[Tim] C'mon, little guy. Listen to your mom. It's so nice outside.

[squeaks]

[Emma] If I were an otter, I'd love swimming in the river with Mama.

[squeaks]

[grunts]

[squeaks]

[chirping]

[growling]

[splashes]

[growling]

[Tim] Wow, Olivia caught a big fish to share with her pups.

-[Emma] Ooh, a picnic! -[Tim] Yum! Salmon eggs.

[clatters, swooshes]

[Emma] Why aren't in bed, Tim? It's dark out.

[Tim] Actually, otters are nocturnal, so they hunt at night.

[Tim] These two are always squabbling.

[Emma giggles] They're just like us.

[Emma] What's he doing here?

[squeaking]

[splashing]

[sniffing]

[Tim] Look, there's another one.

They're wandering around our otters' fishing spot.

[playful music]

[Emma] That's okay. They won't bother Olivia over here.

[grunts]

[growls]

[chirps]

[Emma giggles] You can't catch me.

[Tim] Ha! Gotcha!

[splashes]

[Emma] Bye-bye, Olivia and pups. Have a fun night.

[grunts]

-[light music] -[water rustling]

[Tim] If I were an animal, I would wanna be a wolf.

[Emma] Let's go. Back to the den, little wolf pup.

[Tim] This mother will pick a nice home. Safe, sound, and super cozy.

[whining]

[Emma] Aw, they look so soft.

[Tim] They sure are.

They have thin fur,

so their mom is always licking them to clean them and warm them up.

[Emma] I'm going to call this little daredevil Lobo.

[whining]

[Tim] At one month, the little rascals are finally up and around.

It's by playing together that they'll find their place in the pack.

[Emma] Or they can go up exploring.

[giggles] Like Lobo.

[Tim] You know, Emma, the strongest and smartest of the litter

will become the leader.

[Emma] I'm sure it will be Lobo.

He's already hunting.

[Tim] Mother wolf had a hare for them to find.

That way, they'll develop a taste for meat.

[Emma] "Look, Mama, I found it."

[Tim] She's very proud of her little hunter.

[light music]

[Emma] Look, they're starting to look like grown-ups.

[Tim] The shy ones stay close to Mom, but Lobo is going on an adventure.

At six weeks old,

he can wander as far as a kilometer away from the den.

[Tim] If I were a wolf, I wanna see the whole world.

[Emma] Hey, that's not yours!

[yelping]

-[growls] -[grunts]

[Tim chuckles] Lobo is curious about everything.

[quacking]

[Emma giggles]

[Emma] They won't eat you, silly. They're just ducks.

[quacking]

[playful music]

[Tim] "Hey, wait for me!"

[splashes]

[yelping]

[yelping continues]

[Emma] These two are always playing around.

[Tim] They're challenging each other to see who's the strongest.

[lively music]

[Emma] "Hmm, can I eat this?"

[Tim] Wolf pups are always hungry.

And always curious.

They give everything a taste.

[both laughing]

[yelps]

[comical music]

[Tim] Lobo is all grown up now. Look at his thick adult coat.

[Emma] But, Tim, where is he going?

[Tim] To look for food. He's starving.

[Emma] Well, good luck. All I see is snow.

[comical music]

[Tim] He got a secret weapon: his nose.

[Emma] I heard wolves have great eyesight, too.

To see at the day and at night.

[comical music]

[grunts]

[Tim] "What's that otter doing?"

"Hmm, that looks good."

[grunts, thuds]

[Emma] "What's this wolf doing?"

Whoa, that's one big salmon.

Good job, Lobo.

[uplifting music]

[squeaks]

[uplifting music continues]

[Tim laughs] It looks like it's chewing gum.

[howling]

[Emma] "Lobo, where are you?"

[Tim] Their howls are ways of talking to each other.

So is the way of touch and smell.

Whenever they meet up again, they rub noses with each other.

[dreamy music]

[whining]

[Emma] See you later, Lobo and friends.
