[MUSIC PLAYING]

GOOD MORNING,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

CONGRATULATIONS,
SAMMY AND NICK.

YOU'VE BOTH SCORED HIGH MARKS

ON YOUR SPACE EXPLORERS EXAM.

I'M SO EXCITED,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

WE'RE ALL SO EXCITED
TO HAVE YOU BOTH ON BOARD

- AS THE NEWEST MEMBERS OF THE SPACE EXPLORER TEAM.
- WHOO-HOO!

YOU TWO HAVE BEEN
ASSIGNED TO A PLANET

IN THE MILKY WAY GALAXY.

YUM!
THAT MAKES ME HUNGRY.

THE MILKY WAY GALAXY?

THAT'S RIGHT. THERE'S
AN INCREDIBLE PLANET THERE

THAT YOU'LL BE EXPLORING
CALLED EARTH.

[NICK] EARTH. I'VE HEARD
STORIES OF THAT PLANET.

I'VE HEARD THERE'S JUNGLES,
DESERTS, OCEANS,

AND WOODS
ALL ON ONE PLANET.

AND THERE'S
MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

YOU TWO WILL BE DOCUMENTING
PLANET EARTH

AND RELAYING INFORMATION
YOU FIND

BACK TO US HERE
AT HEADQUARTERS.

- SUPER TERRIFIC.
- FOR STARTERS,

THERE'S ONE IMPORTANT QUESTION
WE HAVE FOR YOU TO ANSWER

ON YOUR TRIP TODAY.

WHAT'S THAT?

WHY IS IT THAT THE EARTH

IS SO DIFFICULT TO SEE
FROM OUTER SPACE?

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

I SURE HOPE
WE CAN FIND AN ANSWER.

WELL, OFF YOU GO.

YOUR SPACE POD WILL HELP YOU
ON YOUR JOURNEY.

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

WOW! LOOK AT ALL
THOSE PLANETS!

IT'S INCREDIBLE!

[SPACE POD]
DESTINATION REACHED,

THE MILKY WAY GALAXY.

- WHAT'S THAT PLANET OVER THERE?
- THAT LOOKS LIKE JUPITER.

[CAPTAIN MAYA] THAT'S CORRECT, NICK.
THAT IS JUPITER.

IT'S A PLANET MADE UP
PRIMARILY OF GASES.

[LAUGHS]

DID YOU SAY "GASES"?

OH, NICK.
YOU'RE BEING SILLY.

IT'S THE REASON WHY IT'S OFTEN
REFERRED TO AS THE GAS GIANT.

IT'S OVER 2 1/2 TIMES LARGER

THAN ALL OTHER PLANETS
IN THIS SOLAR SYSTEM COMBINED.

[NICK]
THAT'S HUGE.

[CAPTAIN MAYA] IT'S HUGE, BUT THERE
ARE NOT ANY LIFE FORMS ON JUPITER.

[SPACE POD]
APPROACHING PLANET EARTH.

- THERE IT IS.
- EARTH!

I'VE HEARD STORIES
OF THIS PLANET.

THERE'S HUNDREDS OF SPECIES
THAT LIVE THERE.

ACTUALLY, NICK,
OVER 8.7 MILLION SPECIES

LIVE ON EARTH.

[SAMMY]
8.7 MILLION SPECIES!

THAT'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT
FORMS OF LIFE.

[CAPTAIN MAYA] INDEED,
IT IS A LOT OF SPECIES.

THAT'S WHY YOU TWO WILL BE
SPENDING A LOT OF TIME ON EARTH,

DOCUMENTING AND RELAYING
BACK INFORMATION

TO US HERE AT
SPACE EXPLORERS HEADQUARTERS.

THIS IS GOING TO BE
AN AMAZING ADVENTURE.

WHY DON'T YOU TWO GO EXPLORE
THE EARTH'S SURFACE?

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

OVER 70%
OF THE EARTH'S SURFACE

IS COVERED BY WATER
CALLED OCEANS.

- THE OCEAN LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!
- IT CERTAINLY IS.

AND IT'S HOME TO ALMOST 94%
OF ALL EARTH'S SPECIES.

LOOK OVER THERE.

[SAMMY]
THOSE LOOK LIKE DOLPHINS.

[NICK]
WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING FISH.

BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS,
TO BE EXACT.

AND SORRY, NICK,
BUT THE DOLPHIN ISN'T A FISH.

- IT'S A MAMMAL.
- THAT'S RIGHT.

MAMMALS CAN LIVE
IN THE OCEAN AND ON LAND.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE
THE SPACE POD SCAN THEM

TO GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION?

SPACE POD,
SCAN THOSE DOLPHINS.

[SPACE POD]
SCANNING.

I THINK THE DOLPHIN SEES US.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT THE DOLPHIN, SPACE POD?

[SPACE POD]
THE BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN

CAN WEIGH OVER 1,000 POUNDS.

THEIR CURVED DORSAL FIN
IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR BACK,

ALONG WITH
THEIR POWERFUL TAILS,

ALLOW THEM TO SWIM

AT SPEEDS WELL OVER
20 MILES PER HOUR.

THAT'S FAST!

NOT AS FAST AS OUR SPACE POD.

LET'S GO EXPLORE SOME MORE.

LOOK DOWN THERE!

IT'S SO GREEN.

AMAZING.

THAT'S THE JUNGLE,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

THERE'S ALL SORTS OF AMAZING
CRITTERS LIVING IN THERE.

WHAT'S THAT, SPACE POD?

[SPACE POD]
THAT IS A SPIDER MONKEY.

THEY USE THEIR TAIL
LIKE A FIFTH LIMB,

AND IT HELPS THEM
JUMP AND MOVE

THROUGH THE DENSE JUNGLE TREES
AND PLANTS.

THEY'RE SO FAST.

[LAUGHS]

AND SO CUDDLY.

I JUST WANNA HUG ONE.

WHERE SHOULD WE GO NEXT,
SAMMY?

LOOK AT THAT SURFACE.

I DON'T SEE MANY ANIMALS
DOWN THERE.

THOSE ARE DESERT SAND DUNES.

THERE AREN'T THAT MANY SPECIES
THAT LIVE HERE,

BUT THE ONES THAT DO

HAVE ADAPTED TO SURVIVE
IN THIS HARSH CLIMATE.

I'D LOVE TO SLIDE DOWN THOSE
MOUNTAINS OF SAND.

THAT WOULD BE FUN.

WOW, LOOK AT THOSE GUYS.

[SAMMY] WHOA, SUCH AN
INCREDIBLE CREATURE.

AND LOOK AT THOSE HUMPS!

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT THEM, SPACE POD?

[SPACE POD] THE CAMEL CAN
REACH SEVEN FEET HIGH

AND RUN OVER 40 MILES
PER HOUR AT TOP SPEED.

WHOA, THAT'S EVEN FASTER
THAN THE DOLPHIN.

[SPACE POD]
CAMELS HAVE THREE EYELIDS

AND TWO ROWS OF EYELASHES

THAT PREVENT SAND FROM GETTING
IN THEIR EYES.

GOOD IDEA. IT IS PRETTY
WINDY AROUND HERE.

LET'S GO GET SOME AIR.

WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THOSE
BIG WHITE PUFFY THINGS?

SPACE POD,
CAN YOU DO A SCAN OF THE AREA?

[SPACE POD] SCANNING.
THE WHITE PUFFY SUBSTANCE

YOU ARE SEEING
ARE CALLED CLOUDS.

THEY ARE ACTUALLY A LARGE GROUP
OF TINY, TINY WATER DROPLETS.

LOOK, SAMMY,
FROM ABOVE THE CLOUDS,

YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE ALL
THE AMAZING COLORS OF EARTH.

IT'S COMPLETELY BLOCKED.

I THINK WE HAVE THE ANSWER

TO CAPTAIN MAYA'S
SECRET QUESTION.

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

FANTASTIC WORK, GANG.

YOUR FIRST MISSION
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.

YIPPEE!

AND DID YOU
FIND OUT THE ANSWER

TO OUR SECRET QUESTION?
YES, WE DID.

THE REASON WHY THE EARTH

IS SO DIFFICULT TO SEE
FROM OUTER SPACE

IS BECAUSE OF CLOUDS
OF WATER VAPOR.

THE LAYERS OF CLOUDS
MAKE THE EARTH LOOK LIKE

A WHITE SHINING ORB
FROM OUTER SPACE.

AND DIFFICULT
TO SEE THE SURFACE,

WHICH IS ALL SORTS
OF INCREDIBLE COLORS!

THAT'S FASCINATING, TEAM.
GOOD WORK.

WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
CAPTAIN MAYA?

THIS NEXT MISSION IS SURE
TO BE YOUR TOUGHEST YET,

SPACE EXPLORERS.

COOL SPACE GASES!

I LOVE DIFFICULT MISSIONS.

I'M ALWAYS UP
FOR A CHALLENGE, TOO.

WELL, I'M EXCITED TO REPORT

YOU TWO WILL BE HEADING
BACK TO EARTH.

YAY! EARTH!

WE LOVE EARTH.

WE WANT YOU TO LEARN
ALL ABOUT SNAKES.

SNAKES? SO EXCITING.

THIS IS GOING TO BE
OUR MOST AMAZING MISSION YET.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT
SNAKES, CAPTAIN MAYA?

I CAN TELL YOU THAT SNAKES
LIVE EVERYWHERE ON EARTH

EXCEPT IRELAND, ICELAND,
NEW ZEALAND,

AND THE NORTH AND SOUTH POLES.

SNAKES POSSIBLY EVOLVED

FROM A FOUR-LEGGED
REPTILIAN ANCESTOR,

A SMALL FOUR-LEGGED LIZARD,

ABOUT 100 MILLION YEARS AGO.

SOME SNAKES,
LIKE BOAS AND PYTHONS,

STILL HAVE TRACES
OF BACK LEGS,

CALLED LEG SPURS.

WOW. I CAN'T WAIT
TO CHECK THEM OUT.

SNAKES SOUND
ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING.

THEY ARE. SNAKES ARE AN INTEGRAL
PART OF EARTH'S ECOSYSTEM.

THEY ARE SO IMPORTANT,
IN FACT,

THAT THE SYMBOL
OF THE SNAKE IN ART

IS ONE OF THE MOST
WIDESPREAD AND OLDEST

IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

THE OLDEST WRITTEN RECORD
ABOUT SNAKES

DATES TO 450 B.C.
IN ANCIENT EGYPT.

REALLY? THAT'S INCREDIBLE,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

AS YOU KNOW, NICK AND SAMMY,

EVERY TIME WE SEND
OUR SPACE EXPLORERS

TO OBSERVE
A NEW EARTH SPECIES,

WE ASK THEM TO COLLECT
AS MUCH DATA AS POSSIBLE.

- YES, MA'AM.
- WE WILL!

BUT ABOVE ALL,
THERE'S A QUESTION

THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST MINDS
OF THE GALAXY

HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO ANSWER ABOUT SNAKES.

WE NEED YOU TWO
SPACE EXPLORERS

TO HELP US ANSWER THE MISSION
QUESTION ABOUT SNAKES.

WHAT'S THE QUESTION?

DO ALL SNAKES
HAVE HINGED FANGS?

THAT'S A VERY INTERESTING
QUESTION, CAPTAIN MAYA.

WE'LL FIND THE ANSWER,
I PROMISE.

YOUR STATE-OF-THE-ART
SPACE POD SKYA

WILL TRANSPORT YOU A MILLION
LIGHT YEARS TO EARTH

IN A BLINK OF AN EYE.

AND YOUR TRUSTY HELPER
ROBOT CUP-K

WILL ASSIST YOU
ON YOUR MISSION.

OFF YOU GO.

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

[SKYA] WE ARE ABOUT TO REACH OUR
DESTINATION, SPACE EXPLORERS...

- EARTH!
- WOW.

LOOK AT THAT!

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE
IN ALL THE UNIVERSE.

I LOVE EARTH.

[SKYA]
FIRST STOP, SOUTH AMERICA.

THAT'S WHERE WE WILL FIND MANY
FASCINATING SPECIES OF SNAKES.

SOUTH AMERICA?

I ALWAYS WANTED
TO VISIT SOUTH AMERICA.

HELLO, SPACE EXPLORERS.

I SEE YOU'LL BE HEADING
TO SOUTH AMERICA.

HOW EXCITING.

CUP-K, PLEASE,

FILL THE SPACE EXPLORERS IN

ON SOME AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT SOUTH AMERICA.

SURE, CAPTAIN MAYA.

NICK, SAMMY,

DID YOU KNOW
THAT A DESERT IN CHILE

CALLED THE ATACAMA

IS THE DRIEST PLACE
IN THE WORLD?

SOME PARTS OF THE ATACAMA

HAVEN'T RECEIVED
ANY RAIN IN YEARS.

STILL, OVER A MILLION PEOPLE
LIVE THERE.

THAT'S INCREDIBLE.

[SKYA] THE LONGEST MOUNTAIN
RANGE IN THE WORLD

IS IN SOUTH AMERICA, TOO.

IT'S CALLED
THE ANDES MOUNTAINS.

I NEVER KNEW THAT.

ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT
ABOUT SOUTH AMERICA

IS THAT AROUND 40% OF EARTH'S
PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES

ARE FOUND THERE.

CONSIDER, SOUTH AMERICA
COVERS ONLY 12%

OF THE EARTH'S
TOTAL LAND SURFACE.

AMAZING!

[SKYA] SPACE EXPLORERS,
PREPARE FOR ENTRY.

WE'RE APPROACHING
EARTH EXOSPHERE.

[NICK]
WHOO... HOO!

[SAMMY]
WHOO-HOO!

[SKYA] WE HAVE ENTERED
EARTH'S STRATOSPHERE.

APPROACHING SOUTH AMERICA,

THE AMAZON RAINFOREST,
TO BE PRECISE.

AWESOME.

COOL SPACE GASES!
THERE IT IS.

THE AMAZON RAINFOREST.

THE AMAZON RAINFOREST
IS AN INCREDIBLE PLACE.

A LOT OF AMAZING
ANIMAL SPECIES LIVE THERE.

CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED
ON OUR MISSION.

THE AMAZON IS THE LARGEST
TROPICAL RAINFOREST IN THE WORLD.

THERE ARE OVER 450 REPTILE
SPECIES LIVING HERE.

THAT INCLUDES SNAKES.

YOU SHOULD FIND
PLENTY OF SNAKES TO OBSERVE.

ENJOY YOUR MISSION,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

WE'LL BE WAITING
FOR YOUR REPORT.

SEE YOU SOON, CAPTAIN MAYA.

SNAKES MAKE UP A LARGE NUMBER
OF RAINFOREST SPECIES.

THEY INCLUDE THE BRIGHTLY
COLORED TREE BOAS,

THE VENOMOUS PARROT SNAKES,

AND THE MULTICOLORED
BUT DEADLY CORAL SNAKE.

HOW COOL!
DO SNAKES HAVE EARS?

SNAKES DON'T HAVE
EXTERNAL EARS OR EARDRUMS,

BUT THEIR SKIN,
MUSCLES, AND BONES

CARRY SOUND VIBRATIONS
TO THEIR INNER EARS.

WOW!

HEY, GUYS, LOOK OVER THERE.
WHAT'S THAT?

THAT'S A PIT VIPER.

A PIT VIPER?

[CUP-K]
THAT'S CORRECT.

THEY'RE CALLED PIT VIPERS

BECAUSE THEY HAVE
A SPECIAL ORGAN

BETWEEN THE EYES
AND THE NOSTRILS

THAT SENSES BODY HEAT
FROM ANIMALS.

IT HELPS THEM LOCATE PREY.

INCREDIBLE.

WHAT OTHER SNAKES
LIVE IN SOUTH AMERICA?

[SKYA]
APPROACHING ANACONDAS.

ANACONDAS?

[CUP-K] ANACONDAS ARE THE
HEAVIEST SNAKE IN THE WORLD.

IT WEIGHS OVER 595 POUNDS

AND CAN GROW
TO OVER 30 FEET LONG.

IT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO EAT
WHOLE CAIMANS AND EVEN JAGUARS.

LOOK OVER THERE.
I THINK I SEE AN ANACONDA.

LET'S TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK, SKYA.

[SKYA]
APPROACHING ANACONDAS.

COOL SPACE GASES!
THIS IS SO EXCITING.

EXPLORERS, GO!

CUP-K, WHAT ELSE CAN
YOU TELL US ABOUT ANACONDAS?

ANACONDAS CAN HOLD
THEIR BREATH UNDER WATER

FOR UP TO 10 MINUTES.

BUT THAT'S
NO PROBLEM FOR THEM.

THEY HAVE EYES AND NOSTRILS

THAT POKE ABOVE
THE WATER'S SURFACE

SO THEY CAN BREATHE
WHILE HIDING UNDER WATER.

LOOK OVER THERE.

WHAT BEAUTIFUL SKIN.

WHAT'S IT MADE OF?

[CUP-K]
ANACONDAS' SKIN IS MADE

OF SMALL SMOOTH SCALES.

IN FACT, THEIR SKIN
IS NOT SLIMY AT ALL.

INSTEAD, IT'S VERY SOFT
AND PLEASANT TO THE TOUCH.

COOL.

[SKYA]
ANACONDAS' SKIN COLOR

DEPENDS ON THE SPECIES,

BUT WHATEVER THEIR COLOR,

IT ALWAYS BLENDS IN
WITH THEIR TROPICAL BACKGROUND.

WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING CREATURE.

ANACONDA JAWS
ARE VERY STRETCHY.

IT ALLOWS THEM TO OPEN
THEIR MOUTH WIDE ENOUGH

TO SWALLOW THEIR PREY WHOLE.

INCREDIBLE.

LET'S GO CHECK OUT
MORE ANACONDAS.

[NICK] LOOK AT THAT ONE.
IT'S JUST AMAZING.

CUP-K, DO ANACONDAS HAVE
HINGED FANGS LIKE PIT VIPERS?

NO, THEY DON'T.

HINGED FANGS
BELONG TO SOME TYPES

OF VENOMOUS SNAKES,
LIKE VIPERS AND RATTLESNAKES.

ANACONDAS ARE NOT VENOMOUS.

THEY KILL THEIR PREY
BY SQUEEZING IT.

INSTEAD, THEY HAVE FOUR ROWS
OF BACKWARD POINTING TEETH

ON THEIR UPPER JAW

TO ALLOW THEM TO HOLD ON
TO THEIR PREY

WHILE THEY SWALLOW IT WHOLE.

WHOA.

HEY, I THINK WE MIGHT'VE
JUST ANSWERED

CAPTAIN MAYA'S
MISSION QUESTION.

[NICK]
YAY!

[LAUGHS]

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

FANTASTIC WORK, GANG.

YOUR MISSION
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.

YIPPEE!

AND DID YOU FIND OUT THE ANSWER
TO YOUR MISSION QUESTION?

YES, CAPTAIN MAYA, WE DID.

NOT ALL SNAKES
HAVE HINGED FANGS.

ONLY SOME TYPES
OF VENOMOUS SNAKES DO,

LIKE VIPERS AND RATTLESNAKES.

THAT'S INCREDIBLE, TEAM.

YOU DID IT. GOOD WORK.

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN MAYA.

WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
CAPTAIN MAYA?

THIS NEXT MISSION
IS SURE TO BE

YOUR MOST EXCITING YET,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

COOL SPACE GASES!
I LOVE CHALLENGES.

I'M ALWAYS UP FOR ONE, TOO.

WELL, YOU TWO WILL BE
HEADING BACK TO EARTH.

- GREAT. EARTH!
- WE LOVE EARTH!

WE WANT YOU TO LEARN
ALL ABOUT EAGLES.

EAGLES? SO FASCINATING.

THIS IS GOING TO BE
OUR COOLEST MISSION YET.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT EAGLES, CAPTAIN MAYA?

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE ARE ABOUT
60 DIVERSE SPECIES OF EAGLES.

MOST OF THEM ARE FOUND
IN EURASIA AND AFRICA,

WITH ONLY 14 SPECIES
RESIDING IN OTHER AREAS

LIKE NORTH, CENTRAL, AND
SOUTH AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA.

WOW, I CAN'T WAIT
TO CHECK THEM OUT.

EAGLES SOUND ABSOLUTELY
FASCINATING.

THEY ARE. EAGLES ARE AT
THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN,

WITH SOME SPECIES FEEDING ON BIG
PREY LIKE MONKEYS AND SLOTH.

REALLY? THAT'S AWESOME,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

AS YOU KNOW,
NICK AND SAMMY,

EVERY TIME WE SEND OUR SPACE EXPLORERS
TO OBSERVE A NEW EARTH SPECIES,

WE ASK THEM TO COLLECT
AS MUCH DATA AS POSSIBLE.

- RIGHT.
- WE WILL!

BUT ABOVE ALL,
THERE'S A QUESTION

THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST MINDS
OF THE GALAXY

HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER
ABOUT EAGLES.

WE NEED YOU TWO
SPACE EXPLORERS

TO HELP US ANSWER THE MISSION
QUESTION ABOUT EAGLES.

WHAT'S THE QUESTION?

DO ALL EAGLES
HAVE WHITE HEADS?

THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

WE'LL FIND THE ANSWER,
I PROMISE.

YOUR STATE-OF-THE-ART
SPACE POD SKYA

WILL TRANSPORT YOU A MILLION
LIGHT YEARS TO EARTH

IN A QUICK INSTANT,

AND YOUR AMAZING
HELPER ROBOT CUP-K

WILL ASSIST YOU
ON YOUR MISSION.

OFF YOU GO.

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

[SKYA] WE ARE ABOUT TO REACH OUR
DESTINATION, SPACE EXPLORERS...

- EARTH.
- AMAZING!

LOOK AT THAT.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE
IN THE GALAXY.

THE COOLEST PLANET OF ALL...
EARTH!

WHERE ARE WE HEADED, SKYA?

[SKYA]
FIRST UP, ALASKA.

THAT'S WHERE WE WILL FIND

MANY AMAZING SPECIES
OF EAGLES.

ALASKA?

I ALWAYS WANTED
TO VISIT ALASKA.

HELLO, SPACE EXPLORERS.

I SEE YOU'LL BE HEADING TO ALASKA.
THAT'S AWESOME.

CUP-K, SKYA, PLEASE
FILL THE SPACE EXPLORERS IN

ON SOME GREAT FACTS
ABOUT ALASKA.

SURE, CAPTAIN MAYA.

NICK, SAMMY, DID YOU KNOW

THAT THE KENAI RIVER
IN ALASKA

RECORDED THE LARGEST SALMON
TO EVER BE CAUGHT,

AND IT WEIGHED 97.5 POUNDS?

THAT'S A BIG SALMON.

[SKYA] THE TOWN OF
TALKEETNA IN ALASKA

HAS HAD A CAT NAMED STUBBS
AS MAYOR FOR 15 YEARS.

[LAUGHS]

ALASKA SOUNDS LIKE
A PRETTY COOL PLACE.

ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT
ABOUT ALASKA

IS THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN
THREE MILLION LAKES THERE.

WHOA! THREE MILLION.

[SKYA] SPACE EXPLORERS,
PREPARE FOR ENTRY.

WE ARE APPROACHING
EARTH'S EXOSPHERE.

[NICK]
WHOO... HOO!

[SAMMY]
WHOO-HOO!

[SKYA] WE'VE ENTERED
EARTH'S STRATOSPHERE.

APPROACHING ALASKA, THE CHILKAT
VALLEY, TO BE PRECISE.

- AWESOME!
- COOL.

- THERE IT IS.
- THE CHILKAT VALLEY.

THE CHILKAT VALLEY
IS AN INCREDIBLE PLACE.

A LOT OF AMAZING
ANIMAL SPECIES LIVE THERE.

CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED
ON OUR MISSION.

THE CHILKAT VALLEY
HAS THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION

OF BALD EAGLES IN THE WORLD.

YOU SHOULD FIND
PLENTY OF EAGLES TO OBSERVE.

ENJOY YOUR MISSION,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

WE'LL BE WAITING
FOR YOUR REPORT.

SEE YOU SOON, CAPTAIN MAYA.

EAGLES MAKE UP
A VAST MAJORITY

OF THE CHILKAT VALLEY
RESIDENTS

BECAUSE OF
THE ABUNDANT SALMON

IN THE WATERS
AROUND THIS AREA.

HOW COOL!
CAN EAGLES FLY BACKWARDS?

EAGLES CANNOT FLY BACKWARDS.

[LAUGHS]

BUT THEY CAN HOVER IN THE AIR

FOR A LONG TIME

OR FLY VERY SLOWLY.

WOW!

HEY, GUYS, LOOK OVER THERE.
WHAT'S THAT?

- THAT'S A BALD EAGLE.
- A BALD EAGLE?

THAT'S CORRECT.

THEY ARE CALLED BALD EAGLES

BECAUSE BOTH
THE MALE AND FEMALE EAGLES

HAVE WHITE HEADS.

THE BALD EAGLE
IS ALASKA'S LARGEST

RESIDENT BIRD OF PREY,

WITH A WINGSPAN
OF UP TO 7.5 FEET

AND WEIGHT BETWEEN
8 TO 14 POUNDS.

SUPER COOL.

WHAT OTHER EAGLES
LIVE IN ALASKA?

[SKYA]
APPROACHING GOLDEN EAGLES.

GOLDEN EAGLES?

GOLDEN EAGLES
ARE ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN

BIRDS OF PREY
IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.

THE GOLDEN EAGLE
IS LONG-LIVED,

WITH A LIFE SPAN OF ABOUT
38 YEARS IN THE WILD

AND ABOUT 50 YEARS
IN CAPTIVITY.

LOOK OVER THERE!
I THINK I SEE A GOLDEN EAGLE.

LET'S TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK, SKYA.

[SKYA]
APPROACHING.

COOL SPACE GASSES!
THIS IS SO EXCITING.

EXPLORERS, GO!

CUP-K, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL
US ABOUT GOLDEN EAGLES?

GOLDEN EAGLES ARE MONOGAMOUS
AND MAY MATE FOR LIFE.

LOOK OVER THERE.

[SAMMY]
THEY HAVE VERY LARGE WINGS.

HOW FAST CAN THEY FLY?

GOLDEN EAGLES
ARE EXTREMELY SWIFT

AND CAN REACH
A MAXIMUM AIR SPEED

OF 200 MILES PER HOUR.

COOL!

[SKYA]
MALE AND FEMALE GOLDEN EAGLES

TAKE TURNS INCUBATING
THEIR EGGS,

WITH ONE EAGLE SITTING
ON THE NEST

WHILE THE OTHER
PROVIDES THE FOOD.

WELL, THAT IS PRETTY AMAZING.

GOLDEN EAGLES
HAVE SUPERB EYESIGHT

THAT ALLOWS THEM
TO EASILY TRACK DOWN PREY.

THEY CAN SWOOP DOWN
ON THEIR PREY

AT SPEEDS OF 150 MILES
PER HOUR.

AND THE STRIKING FORCE
OF THEIR POWERFUL TALONS

HAS BEEN COMPARED
TO THE FORCE OF A BULLET.

HOW COOL.

LET'S GO CHECK OUT
MORE GOLDEN EAGLES.

LOOK AT THAT ONE.
IT'S SO REGAL.

HEY, CUP-K,
DO GOLDEN EAGLES

HAVE WHITE HEADS
LIKE BALD EAGLES?

NO, THEY DON'T.

WHITE HEADS CAN ONLY BE FOUND

ON CERTAIN KINDS OF EAGLES,
LIKE THE BALD EAGLE.

GOLDEN EAGLES
DO NOT HAVE WHITE HEADS.

THEY HAVE GOLDEN BROWN PLUMES
ON THEIR HEAD AND NECK.

- WHOA!
- HEY, I THINK WE MIGHT'VE

JUST ANSWERED CAPTAIN MAYA'S
MISSION QUESTION.

- YAY!
- SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

- SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!
- FANTASTIC WORK, GANG.

YOUR MISSION
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.

ALL RIGHT!

AND DID YOU FIND OUT THE ANSWER
TO YOUR MISSION QUESTION?

YES, CAPTAIN MAYA, WE DID.

NOT ALL EAGLES
HAVE WHITE HEADS.

ONLY SOME TYPES OF EAGLES DO,
LIKE THE BALD EAGLE.

THAT'S VERY COOL, TEAM.
YOU DID IT. GOOD JOB.

THIS IS SURE TO BE YOUR MOST
FASCINATING MISSION YET,

YOUNG SPACE EXPLORERS.

COOL SPACE GASES!

I LOVE GOING ON MISSIONS.

YEAH, ME, TOO.

WELL, I'M HAPPY TO REPORT

YOU TWO WILL BE HEADING BACK TO
YOUR FAVORITE PLANET... EARTH.

SO HAPPY!

WE LOVE EARTH.

WE WANT YOU TO LEARN
ALL ABOUT TORTOISES.

TORTOISES?
THEY'RE SO COOL.

VERY EXCITING!

THIS IS GOING TO BE
OUR MOST AMAZING MISSION

IN THE WHOLE WIDE UNIVERSE,
SAMMY.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT
TORTOISES, CAPTAIN MAYA?

I CAN TELL YOU THAT TORTOISES

ARE THE LONGEST-LIVING
LAND ANIMAL IN THE WORLD.

THEY HAVE THE SAME
LIFE SPAN AS HUMANS,

AND SOME TORTOISES CAN LIVE
FROM 90 TO 150 YEARS.

REALLY? WOW.

I CAN'T WAIT
TO CHECK THEM OUT.

TORTOISES
ARE TRULY FASCINATING.

[CAPTAIN MAYA] THEY ARE. TORTOISES
ARE THE ULTIMATE CONSERVATIONISTS.

THEY CAN EXTRACT
WATER AND NUTRIENTS

FROM EVEN THE SMALLEST BITES.

THEIR HIND GUT SYSTEM

WORKS LIKE
A DOUBLE DIGESTIVE TRACT,

SEPARATING WATER
FROM THEIR WASTE.

[NICK]
AMAZING, CAPTAIN MAYA.

AS YOU KNOW, NICK AND SAMMY,

EVERY TIME WE SEND
OUR SPACE EXPLORERS

TO OBSERVE
A NEW EARTH SPECIES,

WE ASK THEM TO COLLECT
AS MUCH DATA AS POSSIBLE.

ABSOLUTELY.

WE WILL.

BUT, ABOVE ALL,
THERE'S A QUESTION

THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST MINDS
OF THE GALAXY

HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO ANSWER ABOUT TORTOISES.

WE NEED YOU TWO
SPACE EXPLORERS

TO HELP US ANSWER THE MISSION
QUESTION ABOUT TORTOISES.

WHAT QUESTION IS THAT,
CAPTAIN MAYA?

DO TORTOISES SWIM?

CAN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT.

WE'LL FIND THE ANSWER FOR YOU,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

YOUR STATE-OF-THE-ART
SPACE POD SKYA

WILL TRANSPORT YOU A MILLION
LIGHT YEARS TO EARTH

FASTER THAN LIGHTNING,

AND YOUR TRUSTY
ROBOT HELPER CUP-K

WILL ASSIST YOU
ON YOUR MISSION.

- OFF YOU GO.
- SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

[SKYA] WE ARE ABOUT TO REACH OUR
DESTINATION, SPACE EXPLORERS...

- EARTH.
- YES! WE'RE READY.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE EVER.

YOU GUYS ARE CORRECT.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BLAST.

WHERE ARE WE HEADED, SKYA?

[SKYA]
FIRST STOP, CALIFORNIA.

THAT'S WHERE WE WILL FIND

MANY FASCINATING SPECIES
OF TORTOISES.

CALIFORNIA? LOVELY PLACE.

I ALWAYS WANTED
TO VISIT CALIFORNIA.

HELLO, SPACE EXPLORERS.

I SEE YOU'LL BE HEADING
TO CALIFORNIA.

VERY WELL. CUP-K, SKYA,

PLEASE FILL
THE SPACE EXPLORERS IN

ON SOME AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT CALIFORNIA.

SURE, CAPTAIN MAYA.

NICK, SAMMY, DID YOU KNOW
THAT THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY

IS THAT LARGEST COUNTY
IN THE UNITED STATES

IN TERMS OF LAND AREA?

IT IS LARGER THAN
NINE U.S. STATES COMBINED.

WHAT? THAT'S INCREDIBLE.

[SKYA] METHUSELAH,
A BRISTLECONE PINE TREE

FROM CALIFORNIA'S
WHITE MOUNTAINS

IS THE OLDEST NON-CLONAL STILL
STANDING TREE IN THE WORLD.

IT'S ESTIMATED
TO BE 4,650 YEARS OLD.

4,000 YEARS OLD?

I NEVER KNEW TREES
COULD LIVE THAT LONG.

ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT
ABOUT CALIFORNIA

IS THAT HYPERION,
A COAST REDWOOD TREE

IN THE REDWOOD
NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA,

IS THE TALLEST LIVING TREE
IN THE WORLD

AT 377 FEET.

AMAZING.

[SKYA] SPACE EXPLORERS,
PREPARE FOR ENTRY.

WE ARE APPROACHING
EARTH'S EXOSPHERE.

- [NICK] WHOO... HOO!
- [SAMMY] WHOO-HOO!

[SKYA]
WE'VE ENTERED STRATOSPHERE.

APPROACHING CALIFORNIA...

THE CALIFORNIA DESERT,
TO BE EXACT.

AWESOME.

COOL SPACE SAND!

THE CALIFORNIA DESERT!

THE CALIFORNIA DESERT
IS A PRETTY COOL PLACE.

A LOT OF AMAZING
ANIMAL SPECIES LIVE THERE.

CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED
ON OUR MISSION.

THE CALIFORNIA DESERT AREA
SEES LITTLE RAINFALL,

WHICH MAKES IT A DIFFICULT
GROWING PLACE FOR PLANTS,

BUT YOU SHOULD FIND PLENTY
OF TORTOISES TO OBSERVE.

ENJOY YOUR MISSION,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

WE'LL BE WAITING
FOR YOUR REPORT.

YES, MA'AM, CAPTAIN MAYA.

THE MOJAVE DESERT
IN CALIFORNIA'S DESERT REGION

CONTAINS THE FAMOUS
DEATH VALLEY.

DEATH VALLEY
IS CONSIDERED TO BE

NORTH AMERICA'S HOTTEST,
DRIEST, AND LOWEST REGION.

THAT SOUNDS HARSH.

SAY, CUP-K, ARE TORTOISES
NOCTURNAL ANIMALS?

[CUP-K] TORTOISES ARE
NOT NOCTURNAL ANIMALS.

THEY ARE DIURNAL ANIMALS,

WHICH MEANS THEY ARE ACTIVE
DURING THE DAY.

I SEE.

WE SHOULD SPOT
LOTS OF THEM THEN.

[NICK] HEY, GUYS, LOOK OVER THERE.
WHAT'S THAT?

[CUP-K] THAT'S A MOJAVE
DESERT TORTOISE. [LAUGHS]

A MOJAVE DESERT TORTOISE?

[CUP-K]
THAT'S CORRECT.

THEY ARE CALLED MOJAVE
DESERT TORTOISES

BECAUSE THEY ARE NATIVE TO THE
MOJAVE DESERT AREA IN CALIFORNIA.

THE MOJAVE DESERT TORTOISE

CAN SURVIVE ONE YEAR
WITHOUT WATER.

THEY ABSORB WATER
FROM THE VEGETATION THEY EAT,

AND DIG SHALLOW POOLS
IN THE GROUND

TO COLLECT RAINWATER!

THAT'S VERY CLEVER.

WHAT OTHER TORTOISES
LIVE IN CALIFORNIA?

[SKYA] APPROACHING
SONORAN DESERT TORTOISE.

[SAMMY] SONORAN DESERT TORTOISE!
HOW CUTE.

SONORAN DESERT TORTOISES
HAVE STRONG,

HEAVILY SCALED FRONT LEGS
EQUIPPED WITH SHARP CLAWS

THAT ARE USE FOR DIGGING
UNDERGROUND BURROWS.

THESE ANIMALS SPEND
MORE THAN 95% OF THEIR LIFE

UNDER THE GROUND.

[NICK]
LOOK OVER THERE.

I THINK I SEE
A SONORAN DESERT TORTOISE.

LET'S CHECK IT OUT, SKYA.

- [SKYA] APPROACHING.
- COOL SPACE SAND!

- THIS IS GREAT!
- EXPLORERS, GO!

CUP-K, WHAT ELSE
CAN YOU TELL US

ABOUT THE SONORAN
DESERT TORTOISE?

[CUP-K] THE SONORAN DESERT
TORTOISE IS FLAT AND PEAR-SHAPED.

IT IS MORE ACTIVE IN SUMMER,

AND SEEKS SHADE UNDER
LARGE ROCKS AND BOULDERS.

[NICK]
LOOK OVER THERE!

[SAMMY] WHAT STUBBY FEET.
WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?

[CUP-K]
THE SONORAN DESERT TORTOISE

HAS FOUR LIMBS
THAT ARE FLATTENED

WITH WELL-DEVELOPED MUSCLES
AND USED FOR DIGGING BURROWS,

WHILE THE FEMALES USE THEIR
HIND LIMBS TO DIG THEIR NESTS.

THEY'RE ADORABLE.

[SKYA]
SONORAN DESERT TORTOISES

MAKE HISSES, POPS,
AND POINK SOUNDS

FOR FEAR AND DISTRESS CALLS.

MALES GRUNT WHEN MATING.

TOTALLY AMAZING CREATURES.

[CUP-K] DID YOU GUYS KNOW
THAT SONORAN TORTOISES

LIVE IN ROCK CREVICES
ON DEEP SLOPES AND HILLTOPS?

- INCREDIBLE!
- LET'S GO FIND MORE

SONORAN DESERT TORTOISES.

[NICK]
LOOK AT THAT ONE.

VERY COOL, LITTLE GUY.

HEY, CUP-K, DO SONORAN
DESERT TORTOISES SWIM?

NO, THEY DON'T.
THEY DO NOT HAVE WEBBED FEET.

RATHER, THEIR FEET ARE ROUND
AND STUMPY FOR WALKING ON LAND.

- WHOA.
- HEY!

I THINK WE MIGHT'VE
JUST ANSWERED

CAPTAIN MAYA'S
MISSION QUESTION.

YEAH, THAT'S GREAT!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

FANTASTIC WORK, GANG.
YOUR MISSION WAS A SUCCESS.

WE DID OUR BEST,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

AND DID YOU FIND OUT THE ANSWER
TO YOUR MISSION QUESTION?

YES, CAPTAIN MAYA, WE DID.

TORTOISES DO NOT HAVE
WEBBED FEET.

THEREFORE, THEY CANNOT SWIM.

THEIR FEET ARE MADE
TO DIG IN THE GROUND.

THAT'S AWESOME, TEAM.

YOU DID IT.
I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU.

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN MAYA.

WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
CAPTAIN?

YOUR NEXT MISSION
IS TAKING YOU TO CANADA

TO OBSERVE
A SPECIES KNOWN AS DEER.

DEERS?
THEY ARE VERY CUTE.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A FUN ONE,
YOUNG SPACE EXPLORERS.

OH, REALLY?
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

YEAH, WHERE ARE WE GOING,
CAPTAIN MAYA?

I'M EXCITED TO REPORT YOU TWO
WILL BE HEADING BACK TO EARTH.

IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING.

WE LOVE GOING THERE.

WE WANT YOU TO LEARN
ALL ABOUT DEER.

DEERS?
THEY'RE ADORABLE.

THIS IS GOING TO BE
AN AMAZING MISSION.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT DEER,
CAPTAIN MAYA?

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE DEER
IS AN HERBIVORE

AND LIVES IN DARK FORESTS.

THEY OCCUR NATURALLY
IN EVERY REGION,

EXCEPT AUSTRALIA
AND ANTARCTICA.

SIX SPECIES OF DEER
WERE INTRODUCED

INTO THE AUSTRALIAN WOODLANDS
IN THE 19TH CENTURY.

WOW, I CAN'T WAIT TO CHECK
AND OBSERVE THEM.

DEER SOUND TOTALLY
FASCINATING.

ABSOLUTELY. DEER HAVE AN
EXTRAORDINARY SENSE OF SMELL.

THEY CAN SMELL FOOD
FROM VERY LONG DISTANCES.

REALLY? THAT'S PRETTY
AMAZING, CAPTAIN MAYA.

EVERY TIME WE SEND
OUR SPACE EXPLORERS

TO OBSERVE
A NEW EARTH SPECIES,

WE ASK THEM TO COLLECT
AS MUCH DATA AS POSSIBLE.

- YOU CAN COUNT ON US.
- WE WON'T LET YOU DOWN.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

CAN A DEER SWIM?

THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION
TO ANSWER, CAPTAIN MAYA.

WE'LL FIND OUT
WHETHER DEER SWIM OR NOT.

YOUR STATE-OF-THE-ART
SPACE POD SKYA

WILL TRANSPORT YOU
A MILLION LIGHT YEARS

TO EARTH IN AN INSTANT,

AND YOUR TRUSTY
HELPER ROBOT CUP-K

WILL ASSIST YOU
ON YOUR MISSION.

OFF YOU GO.

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

[SKYA] WE ARE ABOUT TO REACH OUR
DESTINATION, SPACE EXPLORERS...

- EARTH.
- SO PRETTY.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
PLANET OF ALL.

WE'RE GOING TO LEARN
SO MUCH, GUYS.

WHERE ARE WE HEADED, SKYA?

[SKYA]
FIRST STOP, AUSTRALIA.

THAT'S WHERE WE WILL FIND

MANY FASCINATING SPECIES
OF DEER.

AUSTRALIA? YES!

I LOVE AUSTRALIA.

HELLO, SPACE EXPLORERS.

I SEE YOU'LL BE HEADING
TO AUSTRALIA. HOW EXCITING.

CUP-K, SKYA, PLEASE FILL
THE SPACE EXPLORERS IN

ON SOME AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT AUSTRALIA.

SURE, CAPTAIN MAYA.

NICK, SAMMY,
DID YOU KNOW THAT AUSTRALIA

HAS A RANGE
OF DIFFERENT LANDSCAPES,

INCLUDING URBAN AREAS,

MOUNTAIN RANGES,

DESERTS, AND RAINFORESTS?

THE WORLD'S LARGEST REEF,

THE GREAT BARRIER REEF,

IS LOCATED OFF THE NORTHEASTERN
COAST OF AUSTRALIA.

[NICK]
WHOA, THAT'S INCREDIBLE.

[SKYA] AUSTRALIA HAS OVER 750
DIFFERENT REPTILE SPECIES,

MORE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY
IN THE WORLD,

INCLUDING THE BROWN SNAKE,
TIGER SNAKE, AND TAIPAN.

I NEVER KNEW AUSTRALIA
HAD SO MANY SNAKES.

I LOVE SNAKES.

ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT
ABOUT AUSTRALIA

IS THAT IT IS HOME
TO MARSUPIALS

LIKE KOALAS, QUOKKAS,
AND KANGAROOS,

THAT CANNOT BE FOUND
ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PLACE.

[SKYA] SPACE EXPLORERS,
PREPARE FOR ENTRY.

WE ARE APPROACHING
EARTH'S EXOSPHERE.

[NICK]
WHOO... HOO!

[SAMMY]
WHOO-HOO!

[SKYA] WE HAVE ENTERED
EARTH'S STRATOSPHERE.

APPROACHING AUSTRALIA,

THE GRAMPIAN RANGES
OF VICTORIA, TO BE EXACT.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

YEAH, TOTALLY GRAND!
HERE WE ARE.

THE GRAMPIAN RANGES
OF VICTORIA?

THE GRAMPIAN RANGES OF VICTORIA

IS A PRETTY AWESOME PLACE.

A LOT OF AMAZING
ANIMAL SPECIES LIVE THERE.

CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED
ON OUR MISSION.

THE GRAMPIAN RANGES

IS THE THIRD LARGEST
NATIONAL PARK IN VICTORIA,

AND ONE OF THE MOST VISITED
PLACES IN THE STATE.

YOU SHOULD FIND PLENTY
OF DEER TO OBSERVE.

ENJOY YOUR MISSION,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

WE'LL BE WAITING
FOR YOUR REPORT.

YES, CAPTAIN MAYA.

[CUP-K]
DEER MAKE UP A LARGE PART

OF THE ANIMAL POPULATION

IN THE GRAMPIAN RANGES
OF VICTORIA.

THERE ARE ABOUT SIX
DIFFERENT SPECIES OF DEER

WANDERING THE WOODLANDS
AND FOREST AREAS.

[NICK]
HOW COOL! DO DEER HAVE HORNS?

[CUP-K]
DEER DON'T HAVE HORNS.

[LAUGHS]
BUT THEY HAVE ANTLERS!

WHICH ARE HORN-LIKE GROWTHS,

MOSTLY FOUND ON MALE DEER.

[SAMMY]
WOW.

[NICK]
HEY, GUYS, LOOK OVER THERE.

WHAT'S THAT ANIMAL?

[CUP-K]
THAT'S A RED DEER.

[SAMMY]
A RED DEER? SO PRETTY.

[CUP-K]
YES, IT IS.

ONLY MALE RED DEER,
OR STAGS,

AS THEY'RE CALLED,
HAVE ANTLERS,

WHICH ARE SHED EVERY SPRING
AND REGROWN.

DEER ANTLERS
ARE LIVING TISSUES

COVERED WITH THICK COVERING

OF A PROTECTIVE LAYER
CALLED VELVET.

MAN IS THE ONLY THREAT
TO THE RED DEER.

NO OTHER PREDATOR
TRIES TO HARM THESE ANIMALS

BECAUSE OF THEIR SIZE.

A STAG CAN WEIGH UP
TO 400 POUNDS.

[NICK]
THAT'S PRETTY BIG.

WHAT OTHER DEER SPECIES
LIVE IN AUSTRALIA?

[SKYA]
APPROACHING FALLOW DEER.

[SAMMY]
FALLOW DEER?

[CUP-K] ORIGINALLY A
EURASIAN SPECIES OF DEER,

THE FALLOW DEER
IS NOW WIDELY SCATTERED

THROUGHOUT AUSTRALIA,
EUROPE, AND ASIA.

IT IS ALSO FOUND IN SOME PARTS
OF THE MIDDLE EAST,

THE MEDITERRANEAN,
AND THE UNITED STATES.

LOOK OVER THERE!
I THINK I SEE A FALLOW DEER.

[SAMMY] LET'S TAKE A
CLOSER LOOK, SKYA.

- [SKYA] APPROACHING.
- [NICK] THIS IS TOTALLY EXCITING.

[SAMMY]
EXPLORERS, GO!

CUP-K, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT THE FALLOW DEER?

[CUP-K] THE AVERAGE LIFE SPAN
OF FALLOW DEER IN THE WILD

RANGES BETWEEN 12
AND 16 YEARS.

AND THE LONGEST RECORDED
LIFE SPAN OF FALLOW DEER

IS 25 YEARS IN CAPTIVITY.

[NICK]
LOOK! OVER THERE!

[SAMMY]
WHAT BEAUTIFUL SPOTS.

ARE THEY BORN THAT WAY?

THE FALLOW DEER ARE ONE
OF THE FEW SPECIES OF DEER

THAT DON'T LOSE THEIR SPOTS
A FEW MONTHS AFTER BIRTH.

THEY ACTUALLY HAVE
TWO DIFFERENT COLOR PHASES...

A SUMMER PHASE
AND A WINTER PHASE.

VERY ELEGANT.

[SKYA] FALLOW DEER
HAVE VERY SHARP VISION.

THEY CAN SEE
THE MINUTEST DETAILS

AT GREAT DISTANCES.

REALLY?
WHO NEED BINOCULARS?

THE CALL OF THE FALLOW DEER
IS CALLED GROANING,

AND IT SOUNDS
A LOT LIKE BURPING.

[GIGGLES]

EWW. [LAUGHS]

LET'S GO VISIT
MORE FALLOW DEER.

[NICK]
LOOK AT THAT ONE. HOW REGAL.

[SAMMY]
HEY, CUP-K, CAN DEER SWIM?

[CUP-K]
YES, THEY DO.

ACTUALLY,
ALL DEER SPECIES CAN SWIM,

EVEN IN VERY DEEP WATERS.

[SAMMY]
NO WAY! REALLY?

[NICK] HEY, SAMMY, I THINK
WE MIGHT'VE JUST ANSWERED

CAPTAIN MAYA'S
MISSION QUESTION.

[SAMMY]
WE DID? GREAT!

[NICK]
SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

[SAMMY]
SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

FANTASTIC WORK, GANG.
YOUR MISSION WAS A SUCCESS.

SO HAPPY TO HEAR IT,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

AND DID YOU FIND OUT THE ANSWER
TO YOUR MISSION QUESTION?

YOU BET, CAPTAIN MAYA. WE DID.

ALL DEER SPECIES CAN SWIM,
EVEN IN DEEP WATERS.

THAT'S GREAT, TEAM.
YOU DID IT.

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN MAYA.

WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
CAPTAIN MAYA?

THIS NEXT MISSION
IS SURE TO BE

YOUR MOST FUN YET,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

OH, YEAH? I LOVE IT.

I'M ALWAYS UP
FOR A FUN MISSION.

THIS IS GOING TO BE
A PRETTY INCREDIBLE MISSION,

YOUNG SPACE EXPLORERS.

WELL, I'M EXCITED TO REPORT,

YOU TWO WILL BE HEADING
BACK TO EARTH.

- AWESOME. EARTH!
- WE LOVE EARTH.

WE WANT YOU TO LEARN
ALL ABOUT CROCODILES.

CROCODILES?
SOUNDS DANGEROUS.

[LAUGHS]
AND A LOT OF FUN.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT
CROCODILES, CAPTAIN MAYA?

I CAN TELL YOU
THAT CROCODILES

ARE LARGE REPTILES
THAT LIVE IN FRESH WATER,

LAKES, RIVERS,
AND BRACKISH WATER.

THEY CAN BE FOUND
IN TROPIC AREAS OF AUSTRALIA,

AFRICA, AMERICA, AND ASIA.

THERE ARE 23 SPECIES
OF CROCODILES,

AND MOST OF THEM ARE ENDANGERED
BECAUSE OF POACHING.

WOW, I CAN'T WAIT TO CHECK
THOSE GUYS OUT.

CROCODILES SOUND LIKE
INCREDIBLE CREATURES.

THEY ARE. CROCODILES
HAVE LIVED ON THE EARTH

FOR 240 MILLION YEARS.

THEY APPEARED ABOUT THE SAME
TIME WHEN DINOSAURS APPEARED.

WHAT? THAT'S INCREDIBLE,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

AS YOU KNOW,
NICK AND SAMMY,

EVERY TIME WE SEND
OUR SPACE EXPLORERS

TO OBSERVE
A NEW EARTH SPECIES,

WE ASK THEM TO COLLECT AS MUCH
INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE.

YEP. GOT THAT.

WE WILL, CAPTAIN MAYA.

BUT ABOVE ALL,
THERE'S A QUESTION

THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST MINDS
OF THE GALAXY

HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO ANSWER ABOUT CROCODILES.

WE NEED YOU TWO
SPACE EXPLORERS

TO HELP US ANSWER THE
MISSION QUESTION ABOUT THEM.

OKAY, COOL.
WHAT'S THE QUESTION?

DO CROCODILES REALLY CRY
CROCODILE TEARS?

WHOA! THAT'S A VERY STRANGE
QUESTION, CAPTAIN MAYA.

WE'LL FIND THE ANSWER.
I'M SURE OF IT.

YOUR STATE-OF-THE-ART
SPACE POD SKYA

WILL TRANSPORT YOU A MILLION
LIGHT YEARS TO EARTH

IN A SHAKE
OF A LAMB'S TAIL.

AND YOUR TRUSTY
HELPER ROBOT CUP-K

WILL ASSIST YOU
ON YOUR MISSION.

- OFF YOUR GO.
- SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

[SKYA]
WE ARE ABOUT TO REACH

OUR DESTINATION,
SPACE EXPLORERS... EARTH.

AMAZING PLANET!

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLANET
IN ALL THE UNIVERSE.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!

WHERE ARE WE HEADED, SKYA?

[SKYA]
FIRST STOP, FLORIDA.

THAT'S WHERE WE WILL FIND

MANY FASCINATING SPECIES
OF CROCODILES.

FLORIDA?
I'VE HEARD OF THAT.

I ALWAYS WANTED
TO CHECK OUT FLORIDA.

HELLO, SPACE EXPLORERS.

I SEE YOU'LL BE
HEADING TO FLORIDA,

A VERY INTERESTING PLACE
TO OBSERVE NATURE.

CUP-K, SKYA, PLEASE
FILL THE SPACE EXPLORERS IN

ON SOME AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT FLORIDA.

SURE, CAPTAIN MAYA.

NICK, SAMMY,
DID YOU KNOW THAT FLORIDA

IS THE LARGEST PRODUCER
OF CITRUS FRUIT

IN THE UNITED STATES?

IT PRODUCES
THE MAJORITY OF ORANGES,

TANGERINES, AND GRAPEFRUIT

CULTIVATED
IN THE UNITED STATES.

ABOUT 90% OF THE CITRUS
HARVESTED IN FLORIDA

GOES INTO JUICE-MAKING!

[NICK]
THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

[SKYA]
THE PORT OF MIAMI IN FLORIDA

IS THE WORLD'S LARGEST
CRUISE SHIP PORT.

WITH 663 MILES
OF FINE BEACHES,

IT IS A VACATIONER'S
PARADISE.

CRUISE SHIPS? BEACHES?

SOUNDS DREAMY.

ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT
ABOUT FLORIDA

IS THAT SOUTH FLORIDA
IS THE ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD

WHERE ALLIGATORS
AND CROCODILES

COEXIST IN THE WILD.

[SKYA] SPACE EXPLORERS,
PREPARE FOR ENTRY.

WE ARE APPROACHING
EARTH'S EXOSPHERE.

[NICK]
WHOO-HOO-HOO! WHOO!

[SAMMY]
WHOO-HOO!

[SKYA] WE'VE ENTERED
EARTH'S STRATOSPHERE.

APPROACHING FLORIDA...
THE EVERGLADES, TO BE PRECISE.

EVERGLADES?

- AWESOME.
- CAN'T WAIT!

- THERE IT IS.
- [SAMMY] THE EVERGLADES.

[CUP-K] THE EVERGLADES
IS A FASCINATING PLACE.

A LOT OF VERY UNIQUE
ANIMAL SPECIES LIVE THERE.

I'M ITCHING TO GET STARTED
ON OUR MISSION.

THE FLORIDA PANTHER
AND THE CROCODILE

ARE JUST TWO
OF THE ENDANGERED ANIMALS

THE EVERGLADES
ECOSYSTEM PROTECTS.

IT IS ALSO HOME TO OVER
16 SPECIES OF BIRDS,

A VARIETY OF MAMMALS,
REPTILES, AND PLANTS.

YOU SHOULD FIND PLENTY
OF CROCODILES TO CHECK OUT.

ENJOY YOUR MISSION,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

WE'LL BE WAITING
FOR YOUR REPORT.

SEE YOU SOON, CAPTAIN MAYA.

HEY, GUYS!
CHECK THIS OUT.

CROCODILES ARE MOSTLY FOUND
IN SMALL NUMBERS

IN COASTAL AREAS
OF THE GLADES.

THE EVERGLADES ECOSYSTEM
PROVIDES A NATURAL HABITAT

FOR AMERICAN CROCODILES,
AMERICAN ALLIGATOR,

AND NILE CROCODILES.

HOW INTERESTING.
LOOK AT THOSE GUYS.

SAY, CUP-K,
DO CROCODILES SWEAT?

NO, THEY DON'T!

CROCODILES
DO NOT HAVE SWEAT GLANDS,

SO THEY DON'T SWEAT.

RATHER, THEY OPEN THEIR JAWS
TO COOL THEMSELVES.

OH, YEAH, I SEE THAT.

WHAT'S THAT GUY OVER THERE?

THAT'S AN AMERICAN CROCODILE.

- AN AMERICAN CROCODILE?
- THAT'S RIGHT.

AMERICAN CROCODILES
ARE CONSIDERED TO BE

ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT
CREATURES IN THE WORLD.

BESIDES BEING BY FAR THE MOST
BIOLOGICALLY COMPLEX REPTILE,

THEY HAVE THE STRONGEST IMMUNITY
SYSTEM OF ALL CREATURES.

THE CROCODILE FEEDS
PRIMARILY ON FISH,

BUT WILL EAT CRUSTACEANS,
TURTLES,

AND OCCASIONALLY
BIRDS AND MAMMALS.

SOUNDS LIKE
A PRETTY COOL SPECIES.

WHAT OTHER CROCODILES
LIVE IN FLORIDA?

[SKYA]
APPROACHING NILE CROCODILE.

NILE CROCODILE?
TELL US MORE, CUP-K.

THE NILE CROCODILE

IS ONE OF AFRICA'S
DEADLIEST PREDATORS!

THIS CROCODILE SPECIES
HAS RECENTLY MIGRATED

TO THE FLORIDA SWAMPS.

THIS HUGE REPTILE

IS CAPABLE OF TAKING DOWN
PRETTY MUCH ANY ANIMAL

THAT VENTURES TOO CLOSE
TO ITS WATERY DOMAIN.

[SHUDDERS]

SCARY!
HEY, LOOK OVER THERE.

I THINK I SEE
A NILE CROCODILE.

[SAMMY] LET'S TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK, SKYA.

[NICK]
COOL SPACE GASES!

THIS IS SO COOL.

EXPLORERS, GO!

CUP-K, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT THE NILE CROCODILE?

THE NILE CROCODILE IS
THE SECOND LARGEST

CROCODILE IN THE WORLD,

AND CAN GROW UP TO
SIX METERS LONG.

ONLY THE SALTWATER
CROCODILE IS BIGGER.

CHECK OUT OVER THERE.

[SAMMY]
WHAT BEAUTIFUL SKIN.

WHAT IS THEIR SKIN MADE OF?

[CUP-K]
THE NILE CROCODILE'S SKIN

IS COVERED WITH TOUGH SCALES

AND BONY PLATES CALLED SCUTES.

THEY LINE ITS BACK AND TAIL.

THE NILE CROCODILE
IS DARK OLIVE GREEN IN COLOR,

AND ITS UNDERBELLY
IS YELLOWISH WHITE.

PRETTY COOL.

[SKYA]
THE NILE CROCODILE'S EYES,

EARS, AND NOSTRILS

ARE LOCATED
ON THE TOP OF ITS HEAD.

THIS ENABLES
THE NILE CROCODILE

TO REMAIN
ALMOST FULLY SUBMERGED

WHILE STILL BEING AWARE

OF EVERYTHING GOING ON
ABOVE THE WATER.

THESE GUYS DON'T KID AROUND.

NILE CROCODILES HAVE LONG
POWERFUL TAILS AND WEBBED FEET

THAT MAKE THEM
EXCELLENT SWIMMERS.

AND THEY HAVE
VERY POWERFUL JAWS

FOR CATCHING PREY
AND TEARING OFF FLESH.

LET'S GO CHECK OUT
MORE NILE CROCODILES.

[NICK] LOOK AT THAT ONE.
HOW AMAZING IS THAT?

HEY, CUP-K, DO NILE
CROCODILES CHEW THEIR FOOD?

[CUP-K] ALL SPECIES OF CROCODILES
DON'T CHEW THEIR FOOD.

THEY PRODUCE TEARS
WHEN THEY SWALLOW.

THIS IS BECAUSE
THEY SWALLOW TOO MUCH AIR!

WHICH COMBINES
WITH THE LACRIMAL GLANDS...

GLANDS THAT PRODUCE TEARS,

AND FORCES TEARS TO FLOW.

I GUESS NOBODY EVER TAUGHT
THEM TABLE MANNERS. [LAUGHS]

HEY, I THINK
WE JUST FOUND THE ANSWER

TO CAPTAIN MAYA'S
MISSION QUESTION.

AWESOME!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

FANTASTIC WORK, GUYS.

- YOUR MISSION WAS A SUPER SUCCESS.
- YES!

AND DID YOU FIND OUT THE ANSWER
TO YOUR MISSION QUESTION?

YES, CAPTAIN MAYA,
WE SURE DID.

ALL CROCODILES CRY.

THAT'S BECAUSE THEY SWALLOW
TOO MUCH AIR WITH THEIR FOOD,

WHICH COMBINES
WITH THE LACRIMAL GLANDS

AND FORCES TEARS TO FLOW.

THAT'S GOOD INFORMATION TO KNOW,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

YOU DID IT! AWESOME JOB.

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN MAYA.

WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
CAPTAIN MAYA?

THIS IS SURE TO BE
YOUR MOST DREAMY MISSION YET,

YOUNG SPACE EXPLORERS.

DREAMY?
I LOVE DREAMY MISSIONS.

I'M ALWAYS UP
FOR A DREAMY MISSION.

WELL, I'M EXCITED TO REPORT

YOU TWO WILL BE HEADING
TO EARTH'S TROPOSPHERE.

TROPOSPHERE?

WHAT... WHAT'S TROPOSPHERE?

IT'S A LAYER OF ATMOSPHERE

IN WHICH NEARLY
ALL EARTH'S WEATHER OCCURS,

EXTENDING SOME SIX MILES
ABOVE THE GROUND.

WE WANT YOU TO IDENTIFY

AND LEARN
ALL ABOUT STRATUS CLOUDS.

STRATUS CLOUDS?
SOUNDS FANTASTIC.

THIS IS GOING TO BE
OUR MOST AMAZING MISSION YET.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT
STRATUS CLOUDS, CAPTAIN MAYA?

I CAN TELL YOU THAT STRATUS
CLOUDS ARE OF TWO KINDS...

NEBULOSUS OR FRACTUS.

THEY EXIST IN LOWER ALTITUDES,

GENERALLY REACHING AN ALTITUDE
OF ONLY 6,500 FEET.

WOW, I CAN'T WAIT TO CHECK
THOSE STRATUS CLOUDS OUT.

THEY SOUND
ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING.

THEY ARE. STRATUS CLOUDS
ARE TYPICALLY SEEN

EITHER NEAR THE COAST
OR AROUND MOUNTAINS.

STRATUS CLOUDS DON'T TYPICALLY
PRODUCE MUCH, IF ANY, RAIN.

AND CHECK THIS OUT,

IF A STRATUS CLOUD
IS SEPARATED BY WIND GUSTS,

THE CLOUD HAS TURNED
STRATUS FRACTUS.

STRATUS FRACTUS?

WHOA, THAT'S A BIG WORD,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

NICK AND SAMMY, I WANT YOU
TO LEARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

ABOUT STRATUS CLOUDS
DURING YOUR MISSION.

- YES, MA'AM.
- WE WILL!

BUT ABOVE ALL,
THERE'S A QUESTION

THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST MINDS
OF THE GALAXY

HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER
ABOUT STRATUS CLOUDS.

WE NEED YOU
TWO SPACE EXPLORERS

TO HELP US ANSWER
THE MISSION QUESTION

- ABOUT STRATUS CLOUDS.
- WHAT'S THE QUESTION?

ARE STRATUS CLOUDS
FLAT OR PUFFY?

THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

WE'LL FIND THE ANSWER.
YOU'LL SEE.

YOUR STATE-OF-THE-ART
SPACE POD SKYA

WILL TRANSPORT YOU A MILLION
LIGHT YEARS TO EARTH

AT THE DROP OF A HAT.

AND YOUR TRUSTY
HELPER ROBOT CUP-K

WILL ASSIST YOU
ON YOUR MISSION.

- OFF YOU GO.
- SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

[SKYA] WE ARE ABOUT TO REACH OUR
DESTINATION, SPACE EXPLORERS...

- EARTH.
- WOW, LOOK AT IT! BEAUTIFUL.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE
IN ALL THE UNIVERSE.

I LOVE COMING TO EARTH!

WHERE ARE WE HEADED, SKYA?

[SKYA]
FIRST STOP, EARTH'S SKY.

THAT'S WHERE WE WILL FIND
MANY STRATUS CLOUDS.

- EARTH'S SKY.
- SOUNDS SO COOL.

HELLO, SPACE EXPLORERS.

I SEE YOU'LL BE HEADING
TO EARTH'S SKY.

HOW EXCITING.

CUP-K, SKYA,

PLEASE FILL
THE SPACE EXPLORERS IN

ON SOME AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT THE SKY.

SURE, CAPTAIN MAYA.

NICK, SAMMY,
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE ENERGY

PRODUCED FROM THE SUN
IS SO STRONG

THAT EVERY SECOND,
ITS CORE RELEASES

THE EQUIVALENT OF 100 BILLION
NUCLEAR BOMBS?

[NICK]
THAT'S PRETTY MIND-BLOWING.

[SKYA]
CHECK THOSE CLOUDS OUT.

[SAMMY]
I WOULD'VE NEVER IMAGINED THAT.

[CUP-K] ANOTHER INTERESTING
FACT ABOUT THE EARTH'S SKY

IS THAT ASTRONOMERS
DISCOVERED A STAR

MADE ENTIRELY
OF DIAMONDS IN 2004

WHICH IS MORE THAN
2,400 MILES ACROSS

AND IS MADE UP OF 10 BILLION,
TRILLION, TRILLION CARATS.

WHAT? THAT'S INCREDIBLE.

[SKYA] SPACE EXPLORERS,
PREPARE FOR ENTRY.

WE ARE APPROACHING
EARTH'S TROPOSPHERE.

[NICK]
WHOO... HOO!

[SAMMY]
WHOO-HOO!

[SKYA] WE'VE ENTERED
EARTH'S TROPOSPHERE.

APPROACHING THE SKY
ABOVE THE CALIFORNIA COAST.

- PRETTY!
- COOL SPACE GASES!

- THERE IT IS.
- THE CALIFORNIA COAST.

THE CALIFORNIA COAST
IS AN INCREDIBLE PLACE.

A LOT OF AMAZING WEATHER
PHENOMENA HAPPENS THERE!

CAN'T WAIT TO GET
LEARNING ABOUT THEM.

FOG IS A COMMON
WEATHER PHENOMENON

ALONG THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
IN CALIFORNIA.

YOU SHOULD ALSO FIND PLENTY
OF STRATUS CLOUDS TO OBSERVE.

ENJOY YOUR MISSION,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

WE'LL BE WAITING
FOR YOUR REPORT.

SEE YOU SOON, CAPTAIN MAYA.
LET'S GET FLYING, SKYA.

SPEAKING OF FLYING,

DID YOU GUYS KNOW
THAT CALIFORNIA FLYING FISH,

CYPSELURUS CALIFORNICUS,

OFTEN SPOTTED BY BOATERS

HEADING TO AND FROM
SANTA CATALINA ISLAND,

CAN GLIDE IN THE AIR

FOR DISTANCES
UP TO 20 YARDS?

TO STAY ALOFT,
THE 15-INCH FISH

USES ITS PECTORAL
AND PELVIC FINS AS WINGS.

WHOA, A FLYING FISH!

HEY, LOOK OVER THERE.
WHAT BEAUTIFUL CLOUDS.

THEY MUST BE STRATUS.

WHY ARE THEY CALLED STRATUS,
CUP-K?

THE WORD "STRATUS"
MEANS BLANKET OR A LAYER.

THE STRATUS CLOUDS
ARE CALLED SO

BECAUSE THEY ARE SPREAD
ACROSS THE SKY

IN A THIN LAYER.

WOW!

HEY, GUYS, LOOK OVER THERE.
WHAT'S THAT?

THAT'S A STRATOCUMULUS.

A STRATOCUMULUS?

THAT'S CORRECT.

STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS
ARE DEVELOPED VERTICALLY,

AND HENCE,
APPEAR AS ROWS OF COTTON BALLS

WHEN VIEWED FROM BELOW.
[LAUGHS]

DUE TO ITS VERTICAL ARRANGEMENT
OF STRATOCUMULUS,

THE TOP END
MIGHT SOMETIMES COOL DOWN

DURING THE WINTER
AND CAUSE RAIN.

OTHERWISE, THEY RARELY CAUSE
ANY PERSPIRATION.

INCREDIBLE!

WHAT OTHER CLOUD FORMS
CAN BE FOUND IN CALIFORNIA?

[SKYA]
APPROACHING CIRROSTRATUS.

CIRROSTRATUS?

CIRROSTRATUS IS SHEET-LIKE
THIN CLOUDS

THAT USUALLY COVER
THE ENTIRE SKY.

THE SUN OR MOON CAN SHINE
THROUGH CIRROSTRATUS CLOUDS.

SOMETIMES THE SUN OR MOON

WILL APPEAR TO HAVE
A HALO AROUND IT

WHEN IN THE PRESENCE
OF CIRROSTRATUS.

DREAMY.
HEY, LOOK OVER THERE.

I THINK I SEE A CIRROSTRATUS.

LET'S TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK, SKYA.

- [SKYA] APPROACHING.
- [NICK] COOL SPACE GASES!

- THIS IS SO EXCITING.
- EXPLORERS, GO!

CUP-K, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU
TELL US ABOUT CIRROSTRATUS?

[CUP-K] CIRROSTRATUS
CLOUDS USUALLY COME

12 TO 24 HOURS
BEFORE A RAIN OR SNOWSTORM,

ESPECIALLY IF MIDDLE GROUP
CLOUDS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

LOOK! OVER THERE!

[SAMMY]
DO CIRROSTRATUS CLOUDS

MEAN A STORM IS COMING,
LIKE CUMULUS CLOUDS?

NO, THEY DON'T.

CIRROSTRATUS CLOUDS
MEANS RAIN

OR SNOW IS COMING,

UNLIKE CUMULUS CLOUDS,

WHICH MEANS A STORM
OR THUNDERSTORM IS COMING.

OH! VERY INTERESTING.

[SKYA] CIRROSTRATUS CLOUDS
ARE USUALLY MADE UP

OF TINY ICE CRYSTALS.

AND BECAUSE OF THIS,
SOMETIMES AT NIGHT

THEY CAN ALSO MAKE A HALO
AROUND THE MOON.

THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING.

CIRROSTRATUS IS A THIN,
SHEET-LIKE LAYER OF CLOUD

WHICH IS 18,000 FEET
ABOVE THE GROUND.

WHOA, PRETTY.

LET'S GO CHECK OUT MORE
CIRROSTRATUS CLOUDS.

[NICK]
LOOK AT THAT ONE.

IT'S JUST AMAZING.

[SAMMY]
HEY, CUP-K,

ARE CIRROSTRATUS CLOUDS
AS BIG AND PUFFY

AS CUMULUS CLOUDS?

[CUP-K]
CIRROSTRATUS CLOUDS

ARE THIN, WISPY,
STRINGY CLOUDS

WAY UP HIGH IN THE SKY.

AND JUST LIKE STRATUS CLOUDS,
THEY ARE FLAT AND HAZY.

- OH, I SEE.
- HEY, NICK,

I THINK WE MIGHT'VE
JUST FOUND THE ANSWER

TO CAPTAIN MAYA'S
MISSION QUESTION.

WE DID? YAY!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

GREAT JOB, KIDS,

YOUR MISSION
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.

- AWESOME!
- AND DID YOU FIND OUT

THE ANSWER TO
YOUR MISSION QUESTION?

YES, CAPTAIN MAYA, WE DID.

STRATUS CLOUDS ARE FLAT,
JUST LIKE CIRROSTRATUS CLOUDS,

AND NOT PUFFY
LIKE STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS.

THAT'S INCREDIBLE, TEAM.
YOU DID IT. GOOD WORK.

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN MAYA.

WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
CAPTAIN MAYA?

THIS IS SURE TO BE YOUR
MOST INTERESTING MISSION YET,

YOUNG SPACE EXPLORERS.

COOL SPACE GASES!
I CAN'T WAIT.

I'M ALWAYS UP FOR
AN INTERESTING MISSION, TOO.

WELL, I'M EXCITED TO REPORT

YOU TWO WILL BE HEADING
BACK TO EARTH.

YES! LOVE IT!

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE
GOING TO EARTH.

YES, THIS TIME WE WANT YOU
TO LEARN ALL ABOUT PENGUINS.

PENGUINS?
THEY'RE SUPER CUTE.

THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR MOST
ADORABLE MISSION EVER.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT PENGUINS, CAPTAIN MAYA?

I CAN TELL YOU
THAT MOST PENGUINS

LIVE IN
THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.

FOSSILS PLACE THE EARLIEST
PENGUIN RELATIVE

AT SOME 60 MILLION YEARS AGO,

MEANING AN ANCESTOR
OF THE BIRDS WE SEE TODAY

SURVIVED THE MASS EXTINCTION
OF THE DINOSAURS.

WHAT? I CAN'T WAIT
TO CHECK THEM OUT.

PENGUINS SOUND
TOTALLY FASCINATING.

THEY ARE.
PENGUINS ARE FLIGHTLESS BIRDS.

WHILE OTHER BIRDS
HAVE WINGS FOR FLYING,

PENGUINS HAVE ADAPTED FLIPPERS

TO HELP THEM
SWIM IN THE WATER.

BIRDS WITH FLIPPERS
INSTEAD OF WINGS?

THAT'S INCREDIBLE,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

AS YOU KNOW, NICK AND SAMMY,

EVERY TIME WE SEND
OUR SPACE EXPLORERS

TO OBSERVE
A NEW EARTH SPECIES,

WE ASK THEM TO COLLECT
AS MANY FACTS AS POSSIBLE.

- YES, CAPTAIN MAYA.
- WE WILL.

BUT ABOVE ALL,
THERE'S A QUESTION

THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST MINDS
OF THE GALAXY

HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO ANSWER ABOUT PENGUINS.

WE NEED
YOU TWO SPACE EXPLORERS

TO HELP US ANSWER
THE MISSION QUESTION

ABOUT THIS
FASCINATING SPECIES.

- WHAT'S THE QUESTION?
- CAN PENGUINS FLY?

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

WE'LL FIND THE ANSWER.
I HAVE NO DOUBT.

YOUR STATE-OF-THE-ART
SPACE POD SKYA

WILL TRANSPORT YOU A MILLION
LIGHT YEARS TO EARTH

IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS.

AND YOUR TRUSTY HELPER ROBOT
CUP-K

WILL ASSIST YOU ON YOUR MISSION.
OFF YOU GO.

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

[SKYA] WE ARE ABOUT TO REACH OUR
DESTINATION, SPACE EXPLORERS...

- PLANET EARTH.
- WOW, LOOK AT IT.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
PLACE EVER.

I LOVE EARTH, TOO.

WHERE ARE WE HEADED, SKYA.

[SKYA]
FIRST STOP, NEW ZEALAND.

THAT'S WHERE WE WILL FIND

MANY FASCINATING SPECIES
OF PENGUINS.

NEW ZEALAND? YES!

GREAT! I ALWAYS WANTED
TO CHECK OUT NEW ZEALAND.

HELLO, SPACE EXPLORERS, I SEE
YOU'LL BE HEADING TO NEW ZEALAND.

HOW EXCITING.

CUP-K, SKYA,

PLEASE FILL
THE SPACE EXPLORERS IN

ON SOME AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT NEW ZEALAND.

SURE, CAPTAIN MAYA.
NICK, SAMMY,

DID YOU KNOW
THAT HECTOR'S DOLPHIN

IS THE SMALLEST DOLPHIN
IN THE WORLD,

AND IT IS FOUND
ONLY IN THE WATERS

AROUND NEW ZEALAND.

ADULT DOLPHINS AVERAGE
ABOUT 4 1/2 FEET IN LENGTH,

SMALLER
THAN MOST ADULT HUMANS.

[LAUGHING]
CUTE.

[SKYA]
NEW ZEALAND IS ALSO HOME

TO THE WORLD'S ONLY
FLIGHTLESS PARROT, THE KAKAPO.

A FLIGHTLESS PARROT?

I NEVER KNEW THEY EXISTED.

ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT

ABOUT NEW ZEALAND

IS THAT THERE ARE NO SNAKES
IN THE COUNTRY.

WHAT? AMAZING.

[SKYA]
SPACE EXPLORERS,

PREPARE FOR ENTRY.

WE ARE APPROACHING
EARTH'S STRATOSPHERE.

[SAMMY]
WHOO-HOO!

[NICK]
WHOO... HOO!

[SKYA]
WE'VE ENTERED

EARTH'S STRATOSPHERE.

APPROACHING NEW ZEALAND,

STEWART ISLAND,
TO BE PRECISE.

- AWESOME!
- COOL!

THERE IT IS.

STEWART ISLAND.

STEWART ISLAND IS A VERY
FASCINATING PLACE.

A LOT OF PRETTY INCREDIBLE
ANIMAL SPECIES LIVE THERE.

CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED
ON OUR MISSION.

STEWART ISLAND IS NEW ZEALAND'S
THIRD LARGEST ISLAND.

IT'S ALSO HOME TO AT LEAST THREE
SPECIES OF PENGUINS

AND MORE THAN 20,000
KIWI BIRDS.

YOU SHOULD FIND PLENTY
OF PENGUINS TO OBSERVE.

ENJOY YOUR MISSION,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

WE'LL BE WAITING
FOR YOUR REPORT.

SEE YOU SOON, CAPTAIN MAYA.

[CUP-K] STEWART ISLAND IS A
HAVEN FOR THE BLUE PENGUIN,

THE RARE YELLOW-EYED PENGUIN,

AND THE FIORDLAND
CRESTED PENGUINS,

WHICH WADDLE
AMONG THE ROCKS.

[NICK]
HOW COOL. HEY, CUP-K,

DO PENGUINS EAT PLANTS?

[CUP-K]
PENGUINS DON'T EAT PLANTS.

[GIGGLES]
THEY ARE CARNIVORES,

AND FEED PRIMARILY
ON SEA ORGANISMS,

LIKE FISH, KRILL, AND SQUID.

INTERESTING.

HEY, GUYS, LOOK OVER THERE.

WHAT'S THAT ANIMAL?

[CUP-K]
THAT'S A BLUE PENGUIN.

[SAMMY]
A BLUE PENGUIN?

[CUP-K]
THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT LITTLE BLUE PENGUIN

IS ALSO CALLED
A FERRY PENGUIN

AND MEASURES
LESS THAN 13 INCHES TALL

AND ABOUT THREE POUNDS
IN WEIGHT AS ADULTS.

THEY ARE IN FACT THE SMALLEST
SPECIES OF PENGUIN.

BLUE PENGUINS HAVE BLUE HEADS

AND GRAY BEAKS.

THEY ARE ALSO BLUE BACKS
WITH WHITE BELLIES.

CUTE OVERLOAD.

WHAT OTHER PENGUINS
LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND.

[SKYA] APPROACHING
YELLOW-EYED PENGUINS.

[SAMMY] YELLOW-EYED PENGUINS?
[GIGGLES]

[CUP-K] THEY ARE
THE FOURTH LARGEST PENGUIN

AND GROW AS HIGH
AS TWO FEET TALL.

[NICK]
LOOK OVER THERE.

I THINK I SEE A YELLOW-EYED
PENGUIN.

LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK,
SKYA.

- [SKYA] APPROACHING.
- COOL SPACE GASES!

THIS IS SO EXCITING.

EXPLORERS GO!

CUP-K, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT YELLOW-EYED PENGUINS?

THEY FEED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY
ON FISH AND SOME SQUID,

SWIMMING NEAR THE BOTTOM
OF THE OCEAN

TO CATCH BLUE COD, RED COD,

SPRAT, AND OPALFISH.

THEY SWIM UP TO 15 MILES
OFFSHORE TO FIND FOOD

AND ARE EXCELLENT DIVERS.

LOOK OVER THERE.

WHAT BEAUTIFUL FEATHERS.

WERE THEY BORN THIS WAY?

[CUP-K]
YELLOW-EYED PENGUINS

HAVE VERY BEAUTIFUL FEATHERS,

AND AT THE END OF EACH
BREEDING SEASON,

THE ADULTS MOLT
AND REGROW THEIR FEATHERS

ALL AT ONCE.

THEY'RE GORGEOUS.

[SKYA]
THE YELLOW-EYED PENGUIN

IS SO RECLUSIVE
THAT BREEDING COUPLES

MUST MATE
IN COMPLETE ISOLATION,

OUT OF THE VIEW
OF OTHER PENGUINS.

OH, THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

[CUP-K]
THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN

OF A YELLOW-EYED PENGUIN

IS 23 YEARS.

MALES ARE BELIEVED TO LIVE
LONGER THAN FEMALES.

INCREDIBLE!

LET'S GO CHECK OUT
MORE YELLOW-EYED PENGUINS.

[NICK]
LOOK AT THAT ONE.

THAT'S JUST AMAZING.

[SAMMY]
HEY, CUP-K,

DO YELLOW-EYED PENGUINS
HAVE WINGS?

[CUP-K]
PENGUINS DON'T HAVE WINGS.

[GIGGLES]
THEY CAN'T FLY.

BUT THEY HAVE FLIPPERS,

WHICH LOOK LIKE WINGS

AND ARE TAPERED
AND FLATTENED FOR SWIMMING.

WHOA!
A BIRD THAT CAN'T FLY?

HEY, I THINK WE MIGHT'VE
JUST ANSWERED

CAPTAIN MAYA'S
MISSION QUESTION.

WE DID?

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

GOOD JOB, GANG.

YOUR MISSION
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.

YIPPY!

AND DID YOU FIND OUT THE ANSWER
TO YOUR MISSION QUESTION?

YOU BET, CAPTAIN MAYA!
TELL HER, SAMMY.

PENGUINS CAN'T FLY.

THEY DON'T HAVE WINGS,
BUT FLIPPERS,

WHICH ARE TAPERED
FOR SWIMMING, NOT FLYING.

THAT'S GOOD, TEAM.
YOU DID IT. GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN MAYA.

WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
CAPTAIN MAYA?

THIS IS SURE TO BE YOUR
MOST ADVENTUROUS MISSION YET,

YOUNG SPACE EXPLORERS.

COOL SPACE GASES!

I LOVE ADVENTUROUS MISSIONS.

I'M ALWAYS UP
FOR AN ADVENTURE, TOO.

WELL, I'M EXCITED
TO LET YOU KNOW

YOU TWO WILL BE HEADING
BACK TO EARTH.

I KNEW IT. WE'RE SO LUCKY.

WE LOVE EARTH, CAPTAIN MAYA.

WE WANT YOU TO LEARN
ALL ABOUT ROCK FORMATION.

ROCK FORMATIONS?

SO EXCITING.

THIS IS GOING TO BE
OUR MOST AMAZING MISSION YET.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US

ABOUT ROCK FORMATIONS,
CAPTAIN MAYA?

I CAN TELL YOU
THAT THE EARTH'S CRUST

IS MADE UP OF ROCK
AND THAT ROCKS

ARE NATURALLY OCCURRING SOLIDS

MADE UP OF MINERAL.

WOW. I CAN'T WAIT TO CHECK
THESE ROCKS OUT.

YEP, ROCK FORMATIONS SOUND
ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING.

THEY ARE. ROCK FORMATIONS

ARE GENERALLY NOT UNIFORM

OR MADE UP OF EXACT STRUCTURES

THAT CAN BE DESCRIBED
BY SCIENTIFIC FORMULAS.

THEY ARE GENERALLY CLASSIFIED
BY HOW THEY WERE MADE OR FORMED.

THERE ARE THREE MAJOR TYPES
OF ROCKS...

METAMORPHIC, IGNEOUS,
AND SEDIMENTARY.

WHOA. THOSE ARE SOME BIG
WORDS, CAPTAIN MAYA.

NICK AND SAMMY, YOU KNOW THAT

EVERY TIME WE SEND
OUR SPACE EXPLORERS TO EARTH,

WE ASK THEM TO COLLECT
AS MUCH DATA AS POSSIBLE.

YES, MA'AM, WE WILL.

YOU BET!

BUT ABOVE ALL,
THERE'S A QUESTION

THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST MINDS
OF THE GALAXY

HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO ANSWER ABOUT ROCK FORMATION.

WE NEED
YOU TWO SPACE EXPLORERS

TO HELP US ANSWER
THE MISSION QUESTION

ABOUT ROCK FORMATIONS.

WHAT'S THAT, CAPTAIN MAYA?

DO ALL CANYONS HAVE RIVERS?

THAT'S A FASCINATING QUESTION,
CAPTAIN MAYA.

YOUR STATE-OF-THE-ART
SPACE POD SKYA

WILL TRANSPORT YOU A MILLION
LIGHT YEARS TO EARTH

AT ONE FELL SWOOP.

AND YOUR TRUSTY HELPER ROBOT
CUP-K

WILL ASSIST YOU ON YOUR MISSION.

OFF YOU GO.

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

[SKYA]
WE ARE ABOUT TO REACH

OUR DESTINATION,
SPACE EXPLORERS... EARTH.

YES, AMAZING PLACE.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
PLACE EVER.

I LOVE EARTH!

WHERE ARE WE HEADED, SKYA?

[SKYA] FIRST STOP,
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

THAT'S WHERE WE WILL FIND

MANY FASCINATING KINDS
OF ROCK FORMATIONS.

UNITED STATES?

I ALWAYS WANTED TO VISIT
THE UNITED STATES.

HELLO, SPACE EXPLORERS.

I SEE YOU'LL BE HEADING TO
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

AN AMAZING PLACE.

CUP-K, SKYA,

PLEASE FILL
THE SPACE EXPLORERS IN

ON SOME AMAZING FACTS

ABOUT UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.

YOU GOT IT, CAPTAIN MAYA.

NICK, SAMMY,

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE TALLEST
MOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD,

MAUNA KEA,

IS LOCATED IN HAWAII?

WHEN MEASURED
FROM THE SEAFLOOR,

IT IS OVER 32,000 FEET HIGH,

WHILE MOUNT EVEREST

IS 29,028 FEET HIGH.

THAT'S AMAZING.

IT HAS TO BE A HUGE MOUNTAIN.

[SKYA]
A BIT OF TRIVIA FOR YOU GUYS...

CHICAGO,
A CITY IN THE UNITED STATES,

IS THE BIRTHPLACE
OF FIRST EVER FERRIS WHEEL,

WHICH WAS 264 FEET TALL

AND DEBUTED
IN THE 1893 WORLD'S FAIR.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN.

ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT

ABOUT THE UNITED STATES

IS THAT THREE OF THE WORLD'S
FIVE OLDEST RIVERS FLOWS HERE.

THE NEW, THE SUSQUEHANNA,
AND THE FRENCH BROAD RIVERS

ARE EACH HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD.

NO WAY.

[SKYA] SPACE EXPLORERS,
PREPARE FOR ENTRY.

WE ARE APPROACHING
EARTH'S EXOSPHERE.

- [NICK] WHOO... HOO!
- [SAMMY] WHOO-HOO!

[SKYA] WE'VE ENTERED
EARTH'S STRATOSPHERE.

APPROACHING
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

NEVADA, TO BE PRECISE.

YEAH!

COOL SPACE METEORITES!
THERE IT IS.

NEVADA. SO BEAUTIFUL.

NEVADA IS AN INCREDIBLE PLACE
TO VISIT.

CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED
ON OUR MISSION.

NEVADA'S THE SEVENTH LARGEST
STATE IN THE UNITED STATES.

ABOUT 85% OF ITS LAND

IS OWNED
BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

YOU SHOULD FIND PLENTY OF ROCK
FORMATIONS TO OBSERVE.

ENJOY YOUR MISSION,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

WE'LL BE WAITING
FOR YOUR REPORT.

SEE YOU LATER, CAPTAIN MAYA.

[CUP-K]
HEY, GUYS, DID YOU KNOW

THAT THE RED ROCK CANYON
WAS DESIGNATED

AS NEVADA'S FIRST NATIONAL
CONSERVATION AREA?

IT IS LOCATED 17 MILES WEST

OF THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS.

INTERESTING.

ARE THERE WATERFALLS
IN RED ROCK CANYON?

THERE ARE WATERFALLS
AT RED ROCK CANYON.

MOST OF THEM ARE SEASONAL.

AMAZING.

HEY, GUYS, LOOK OVER THERE.
WHAT'S THAT?

[CUP-K]
THAT'S RED ROCK CANYON.

YEP, THE GREAT SANDSTONE CLIFFS
AT RED ROCK

ARE THOUSANDS OF FEET HIGH.

THEY ARE MADE UP
OF AZTEC SANDSTONE.

THESE FORMATIONS

ARE ABOUT
190 MILLION YEARS OLD.

THE RED COLOR
OF SOME OF THE OUTCROPS

OF THE AZTEC SANDSTONE

IS DUE TO THE PRESENCE
OF IRON OXIDE

OR HEMATITE
IN ITS COMPOSITION.

TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL.

WHAT OTHER CANYONS ARE THERE
IN THE UNITED STATES?

[SKYA]
APPROACHING GRAND CANYON.

GRAND CANYON.
CAN'T WAIT.

THE GRAND CANYON

IS LOCATED
IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA.

IT'S 277 MILES IN LENGTH

AND 18 MILES ACROSS
AT ITS WIDEST POINTS.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

THE GRAND CANYON
IS AROUND 6,000 FEET DEEP.

NO WONDER IT'S CALLED GRAND.

[NICK]
LOOK! LOOK OVER THERE!

I THINK I SEE THE GRAND CANYON.

WHOA. INCREDIBLE.

LET'S TAKE A CLOSER PEEK, SKYA.

[SKYA]
APPROACHING.

COOL SPACE GASES!

THIS IS SO COOL.

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

THE ROCK FOUND AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE GRAND CANYON

IS CALLED SCHIST

AND IS AROUND
TWO BILLION YEARS OLD,

WHILE THE ROCK
FOUND IN THE UPPER RIM,

CALLED LIMESTONE,

IS ABOUT 230 MILLION YEARS OLD.

LOOK OVER THERE!
INCREDIBLE VIEWS.

[SAMMY]
CAN I HIKE IN THE GRAND CANYON?

[CUP-K]
YES, YOU CAN.

THERE ARE NUMEROUS
HIKING TRAILS

ACROSS THE ENTIRE CANYON

THAT AMATEURS AND VETERANS
CAN HIKE.

[NICK]
I KNEW IT!

[SKYA]
THE GRAND CANYON

IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S
NATURAL WONDERS

AND SEES MILLIONS
OF VISITORS

ON ITS CLIFFS EVERY YEAR.

WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE.

BUT IT CAN ALSO BE DANGEROUS.

SNAKES ABOUND
IN THE GRAND CANYON.

AND WHILE MOST OF THEM
ARE HARMLESS,

SOME OF THEM,
LIKE THE RATTLESNAKE,

ARE VENOMOUS.

SO HIKERS MUST ALWAYS
WATCH THEIR STEP.

DID YOU KNOW THAT
OF THE SIX RATTLESNAKE SPECIES

THAT LIVE IN THE PARK,

ONE HAS AN UNUSUAL PINK HUE

THAT MATCHES THE LOCAL ROCKS.

TO BLEND IN. VERY SMART.

LET'S GO CHECK OUT
MORE CANYONS.

[NICK]
LOOK OVER AT THAT.

THAT'S JUST AMAZING.

[SAMMY] HEY, CUP-K, CAN I
FISH IN THE GRAND CANYON?

[CUP-K] YES, YOU CAN FISH
IN THE GRAND CANYON,

JUST LIKE
AS IN EVERY OTHER CANYON

BECAUSE A RIVER RUNS RIGHT
THROUGH IT.

IN FACT, IT'S THE VERY WATER
RUNNING THROUGH

THAT OVER THE AGES HAS CARVED
THE CANYON.

AMAZING.

HEY, I THINK
WE MIGHT'VE JUST ANSWERED

CAPTAIN MAYA'S
MISSION QUESTION.

YES, CANYONS HAVE RIVERS.

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

FANTASTIC WORK, GUYS.

YOUR MISSION
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.

I KNEW IT WOULD BE.

AND DID YOU FIND OUT THE ANSWER
TO YOUR MISSION QUESTION?

YES, CAPTAIN MAYA,
WE SURE DID.

CANYONS HAVE RIVERS.

AND YOU CAN EVEN FISH IN THEM.

THAT'S AMAZING, TEAM.

YOU GOT THE ANSWER.
GOOD WORK.

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN MAYA.

WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
CAPTAIN MAYA?

THIS NEXT MISSION

IS SURE TO BE YOUR MOST FUN YET,
SPACE EXPLORERS.

WE'RE SENDING YOU TO AFRICA
TO STUDY RIVERS.

RIVERS? HOW REFRESHING.
[CHUCKLES]

I CAN'T WAIT.

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!

SPACE EXPLORERS, GO!
