If I were an animal,

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

Like the giraffe!

Look, Emma. This one is just been born!

Aww. I'm going to call her Jessie.

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

That's what her mom wants, too.

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

-Oops!

Knock, knock! Are you coming?

- You can see it all from up here.

Tim, there's another mama nearby.

It's handy being the tallest animal
in the Savannah.

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

Uh-oh.

Get out of here! Take a hike!

Good idea, mama.

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

Yeah, good job!

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

Teeny? She's two meters tall!

Now that she can stand up,

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

Mama G is taller than the trees!

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

Acacia leaves are the best.

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

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

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

Jessie, that's a silly face.

Nothing like a stroll after dinner.

Jessie is so full of energy.

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

Take a look at Jessie's
drinking technique.

First, she spreads her legs,

then, she bends her knees.

And ta-da! Refreshing.

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

when you're tall like a giraffe.

Oh, Jessie.
If you try to race the ostriches...

You can't expect to win.

Ostriches run much, much faster
than giraffes.

No one runs quite like Jessie
and her mom.

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

Uh-oh. There's a lioness nearby.

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.

This is where
the good hiding spots are.

Where are they?

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

Hey! Watch it, Mom.

Jessie's gonna give her
a little space.

See you, Jessie. See you, Mama G.

If I were an animal,

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

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

- That's her baby?

But he doesn't look
anything like her.

That's because babies
need to camouflage in the snow

-so they can be safe from predators.

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

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

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

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

- That's all?

Well, Cecille thinks it's delicious.

Come and get in the water, Cecille.

- Brrr. Looks cold.

Well, it is the North Pole, Emma.

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

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

Aww. Snuckles.

Uh, you might wanna
jump in, Cecille.

Hey! I wasn't ready yet.

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

Good job, Cecille!

You swim so well for a beginner.

You'll never catch me.

His mom is so proud of him.

Time to warm up
in the sun, Cecille.

If you were a seal,
you can also be a gray seal.

Like Cecille's European cousins.

They look like bananas.

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

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

and the one splashing
in the water, Samson.

Come out and play, Serena.

In she goes!

Seals are amphibious.

That means they live on land
and in the water.

Whoa! Look at Samson's nice teeth!

Serena's going up for some air.

And Samson's going deeper.

What's he gonna do down there, Tim?

Take a nap.

To sleep underwater,

they stop breathing and slow down
their heartbeat.

Aww. Too cute.

Serena prefers to nap
near the surface.

Floating like a log.

Do you know what this position is called?

Uh, I don't know.

It's called the bottle position.

With so many different ways to nap,

it's hard not to be comfy.

Looks like she settled
on the banana position.

Watch out, Serena.
The tide is coming in.

Time to wake up, Samson.

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.

Come on, brother, rise and shine.

See how they move around?

It's almost like a dance.

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

See you soon, Samson and Serena.

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

I'm gonna call this little one Carla.

This is her first migration south
for the winter,

and her parents are here
to help guide her.

So she'll remember
the way for next year.

Finally, time to set up camp.

Rise and shine, Carla.

Up and at 'em, girl.

Time to freshen up!

And don't forget
to do your stretches.

- Carla is so pretty!

- Know who else thinks so?

This handsome crane.

Someone's showing off
to get her attention.

That's right!
And his moves are working.

Aww. What a cute couple.
So romantic.

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

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

- I'm going to call him Casper.

Stay warm next year,
little brother Casper.

Daddy's home with dinner. Mm, larva.

But it's almost as big as him.

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

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

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

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

- Knock, knock! Anybody home?

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

- What about me?

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

Aww.

- They're already bickering.

No fighting.

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

The way he swims is so fun.

He hasn't even put his head
underwater.

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

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

As if. They'd rather have a picnic.

Tim, do they eat plants?

Yup. And seeds, too!

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

- What did Caden see?

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

But his wings
are still too itty-bitty.

Just be patient, Casper.

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

Two and a half months
sure went by fast.

Maybe now it's time
to learn to how fly.

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

Yippee! Casper did it!

Caden, too! Good job, little guys.

Uh-oh.
They still aren't that steady.

But at least Casper landed safely.

Are you ready, crane family?

- Three.
- Two.

One.

Go!

Have a good flight,
Casper and Caden.

See you next year.

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

That doesn't surprise me, Emma.

You do sleep like a marmot.

Wow! Her babies are so big.

- Yup.

These little guys
are already two months old.

Aww. You're so cute.

I'm going to call you Marvin.

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

Even the fox cubs.

Mother marmot already spotted them.

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

of her surroundings.

Tim! There's so many of them!

That's right. It's a whole family.

With grandparents, cousins,
aunts, and uncles.

Marvin loves kisses.
Nuzzle, nuzzle.

Marmots love to wrestle.

It's how they develop their muscles
and reflexes.

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

What a pig.

His garden is so pretty.

And well-chosen.
Good altitude, plenty of sun...

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

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

Like all marmots, he's a herbivore.

That's so precious.

His little hands hold things
just like ours.

And his front teeth are for chewing stems.

- But what did they drink?
- They don't!

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

- What's he doing?

Look! He's practicing
his wrestling skills.

Go, Marvin! Go!

- What's that yelling?

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.

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

All right. The coast is clear.

This shammy is so curious.

It's time
for Marvin's family to move.

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

Is this a mustache contest?

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

But he's just stuffing his face.

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

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

Feels good to stretch your paws

after a five-month nap.

My little Marvin is so skinny now.

That's normal.

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

I guess he can eat
once the snow has melted.

Yup. For now he needs to rehydrate.

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

-The bedding needs to be change.
- Again?

Yup. And everyone helps.

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

Of course!

The whole pack is taking advantage
of the whole weather.

See you later, Marvin and the marmot crew!
