0:01:35 > 0:01:37Hi, everybody!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40ALL LAUGHING
0:01:40 > 0:01:45Listen to this - kangaroos cannot walk backwards.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50- No? Really? That's amazing! - Hmm.- I've got a better one. Listen.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56A duck's quack doesn't echo, but no-one knows why.
0:01:56 > 0:02:02Crocodiles' mouths are so big, they can't put their tongues out.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04ALL: Ohh!
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- Excuse me, but what are you all talking about?- Hi, Lucy.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12We're telling amazing animal facts.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17Did you know, for instance, that an ant can lift 50 times its own weight?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Really?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And it pulls 30 times its own weight!
0:02:23 > 0:02:27You must all be experts. You're so clever.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31We're not experts. Alan the Aardvark is.
0:02:31 > 0:02:37- He really does know everything about ants.- Everything?- Wow.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Let me tell you all about him.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45Alan the Aardvark liked ants more than anything else in the world.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Oh, look, an ant. Oh, delicious.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Look - another ant!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Delicious.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Oh! More ants - little green ones.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07How exciting!
0:03:07 > 0:03:13The trouble was that Alan thought everyone was as interested in ants.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Look out. Here comes Alan the Aardvark.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- Let's hide! - Hide, Doris!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Alan! Fancy meeting you here(!)
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Lovely day for the ants.- Ants?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Yes, ants. Aren't ants amazing?
0:03:32 > 0:03:37Did you know that an ant can lift 50 times its own weight?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Oh?
0:03:40 > 0:03:48And there are over 2,726,111 ants in every colony.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51That adds up to an amazing...
0:03:51 > 0:03:55several billion ants alive on earth today.
0:03:55 > 0:04:01Fascinating(!) Well, I must be going. I've got some duck things to do.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Amazing, eh? Did you know that some ant hills have up to 78 floors?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09You can find ants everywhere.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Under stones, for example.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Ee, look out!
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Oh, hi, Toby. I didn't see you there.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23Doris was just asking me about ants. Do you like ants?
0:04:23 > 0:04:28- Well...- Of course, there are thousands of different kinds of ant.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Wood ants, sand ants, rock ants, tree ants...
0:04:32 > 0:04:37'Alan was starting to annoy the other animals.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39'Then Doris had a good idea.'
0:04:39 > 0:04:42WHISPERS
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Oh, yes. Yellow ones, blue ones...
0:04:53 > 0:04:59big ones, small ones. Some ants can fly, some can dig gigantic tunnels.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Alan, we're taking you on holiday.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Holiday? I can't. What about the a...?
0:05:12 > 0:05:17They walk, one after another, in a line like this.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23- HE SIGHS - Oh, it's no good. Grapes just aren't the same as ants.
0:05:23 > 0:05:29Alan didn't really enjoy the holiday at the oasis. He missed the ants.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Relax, Alan. You're on holiday.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Holiday? Oh, yes. Holiday. I forgot.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Would you like a drink, Alan?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Would I like a drink?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45No, thanks. ..Er, yes, please.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- Coconut or watermelon? - I'll have coconut. No, watermelon.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Sorry - coconut. It's sweeter.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Maybe I want something to quench my thirst. In which case, watermelon.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- No, coconut. - Coconut or watermelon?!
0:06:03 > 0:06:10Difficult. They both taste really nice. So why don't I try...
0:06:10 > 0:06:13watermelon? No, no! Coconut! Oh!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Ohh...
0:06:16 > 0:06:20I don't really feel very thirsty after all.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Let's think of something nice to do.
0:06:27 > 0:06:34- Yes! Good idea!- What do you want to do? Go for a walk or a swim?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Mm, a swim would be nice.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41A swim it is, then.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- No, let's go for a walk.- Decided. >
0:06:43 > 0:06:50- We're going for a walk. - Where to?- Sorry?- Where to?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Over the mountains. To the palm trees.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I wish you'd make up your minds!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I'm thirsty.- Oh(!)
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Is there anything to drink?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05PEEP-PEEP
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Nice sound, Alan. Do it again.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Do you really like it, Toby? Listen to this, then.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15PLAYS A TUNE THROUGH HIS SNOUT
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Alan had finally found something he wanted to do.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Whoops!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Hey! Bring that back!
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Don't worry, little egg. You're safe now.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49There were ants everywhere.
0:07:49 > 0:07:56- This all started when Alan went on holiday!- Stop that! I'm an elephant!
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I'm an elephant!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02What ARE we going to do?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I have an idea.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Ronald the Rhino decided to break down the ant hill
0:08:10 > 0:08:13which had now grown very big.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Go, Ronald, go!
0:08:22 > 0:08:28- Uh-oh!- 'The animals realised they were in real trouble now.'
0:08:28 > 0:08:34What are we going to do, Zed? I'm getting Alan the Aardvark!
0:08:40 > 0:08:42STILL MAKING MUSIC
0:08:42 > 0:08:49Alan! Thank goodness I've found you. You've got to help us.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55- The ants are everywhere! - Ants? What are ants?
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Ants! You can't have forgotten! You're an expert!
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- The little black things! - Grapes?
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- No! They run about everywhere. - Like zebras?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Sorry, old chap. No time to lose.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Jump on my back - I'll show you.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Ohh...those ants.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25'Alan knew exactly what to do.'

0:09:50 > 0:09:55Alan led the ants to the other side of the Blue Mountain,
0:09:55 > 0:09:59where they could build as many ant hills as they wanted.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04That was a lovely story, Nelson.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- I'm glad you enjoyed it. - I have an amazing animal fact.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15Did you know that tortoises can live for 120 years?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Amazing!
0:10:17 > 0:10:23- I have an amazing fact for everyone. - Please, tell us, Georgina!
