Hi. I'm Andy. I work here at Safari

World.

We look after animals of all shapes

and sizes. Morning!

I've just been to the aquarium.

Something really exciting appeared

there this morning that most

people have never even seen.

And it was made by this

little fella - a pufferfish.

I'm just off to the control tower to

tell Jen all about it. Exciting!

Hey, Jen!

Great news from the aquarium - the

pufferfish has built a nest.

Wow!

I didn't know pufferfish built

nests.

That's not surprising.

Most people have never even

seen one before.

A pufferfish nest is

absolutely beautiful.

I'd love to see how they make one.

The cameras in the aquarium would

have recorded the whole thing.

We could watch it back

and see how it's done.

That would be amazing!

Give me

a minute, I'll check the cameras.

I'll be right back!

OK.

I'll let Mr Hammond know.

Hello, Andy. What's up?

Great news, Mr Hammond.

The pufferfish has built a nest.

I say, that's marvellous!

Even better - Jen's cameras recorded

the whole thing.

Sensational!

We must put this video on the

Safari World website immediately,

then everyone will see it.

Don't worry, we won't let you down.

I'll get Jen to upload it to the

website straightaway.

Thanks.

I can't wait to see it. Bye for now!

See you later!

Andy?

I've just told Mr Hammond.

Um...

He's really excited!

He can't wait to see the video!

There might be a problem.

What's the matter?

I've checked

the aquarium cameras,

and all they've recorded is this.

The pufferfish must have sent up

these clouds of sand

while building its nest.

We can't see anything.

I've promised Mr Hammond

we'd upload it to

the website straightaway.

Can we film it again?

The pufferfish has already

built the nest.

In that case, you need to find

another pufferfish.

You mean...?

Yes!

Great idea!

Time to go on a safari adventure!

Waistcoat - check!

Hat - check!

Backpack - check!

Gizmo...

..check!

Coordinates set. Switching to

flight mode.

Thanks, Jen.

Engaging boosters.

Hold on!

Here we go! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Next stop -

the coral reefs of Japan.

Whoa!

Whoa! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Yes! Ha-ha! I've made it.

You've arrived over the Pacific

Ocean just off the coast of Japan.

There's a beach just up ahead.

Thanks, Jen.

Good luck.

This must be it.

I'll land just here.

Right. I just need to

put my underwater gear on.

There! Now I'm ready for a dip.

Oh, wow! A coral reef!

Oh, it's beautiful!

Just like an underwater

rainbow forest.

And just like trees in a forest,

the coral is a living thing.

It's home to thousands of marine

animals too.

Right, I need to find a pufferfish,

and I don't think I'll

find one up here.

I'll shrink down

and get in amongst the fish.

That way, I won't scare them. To the

size of a pufferfish.

Ooh-hoo-hoo!

Time to explore the reef!

Oh, there are so many fish,

including clownfish.

It's with an anemone -

a sea creature with

lots of stinging tentacles.

Don't worry -

the clownfish is quite safe.

It helps keep the anemone clean,

and in return,

all those stinging tentacles protect

the clownfish from predators.

Pretty cool, eh?

I think I'd better keep

my distance, though.

I don't want to get stung.

Ah!

It's so peaceful in the coral reef,

but there's no sign of any

pufferfish anywhere.

What's that?

Whoa! It's a venomous sea snake!

Oh! A bull shark! Maybe it's not

that peaceful here after all!

Whoa! Look at all these fish lined

up against the shipwreck.

How strange! Excuse me. Coming

through.

Pardon me. I don't know.

It's like a bus stop here.

These are remora -

fish that attach themselves to

bigger fish to help them get around.

They wait here to hitch a ride

underneath sharks or rays.

Wow, look! There's a whopping

great big manta ray!

Just what the remora have been

waiting for.

Wait! Maybe I could hitch a ride

too. Um, excuse me?

Oh! It's too slippery to hold on.

Some remora use suckers to

attach themselves.

I wonder if there's anything

in my backpack that can help?

A rubber duck? No.

A spanner? No.

A plunger? This should do it.

Ah! Now I'm just like the remora.

Ha-ha!

And the manta ray doesn't

even seem to mind!

Plus I have a fantastic view for

spotting pufferfish. Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Come in, Andy. Have you found any

pufferfish yet?

Not yet, Jen.

But I'm, er...working on it.

Please can you hurry?

Mr Hammond keeps

asking to see the video.

I don't know how much longer

I can stall him.

OK, I'll be as quick as I can.

Andy out.

Whoa! What's all this sand?

There's clouds of it!

Just like in the aquarium at Safari

World. Well, this could be my stock.

Thanks for the lift, manta ray.

It looks like the sand's

coming from down there. Yes!

It's a male pufferfish, and it

looks like he's building a nest.

Brilliant! I need to get closer.

Then I can film it.

Whoops! Maybe not that close.

He wants his nest to be nice

and tidy,

so he's moving things out the way,

including me.

Right. I need to film this.

Gizmo, set to record.

Ah! Well, that's where the sand came

from!

And that's what must have blocked

the cameras back at Safari World!

Oh! He's using his fins to make

patterns in the sandy seabed.

And that is a pufferfish nest.

Oh, I told you it was beautiful.

Such tiny fins with such enormous

talent! What an artist!

Here comes another pufferfish.

And it's a female.

Oh! Ha-ha! She likes it!

The male pufferfish has made

the perfect nest for the female

to lay her eggs.

Got it! Mr Hammond is going to

love this video.

I'd better send it to Jen

straightaway. There we go. Right.

Now to get back to Safari

World as fast as I can.

See you later, guys!

Back to normal size.

Activate drying mode.

Works a treat! Engaging boosters.

Time to head back.

Jen! Jen?

Oh, she's not here!

I need to make sure that she's

received the video

and uploaded it to the

website for Mr Hammond.

Now, what button do I press?

Maybe this one.

Ah, Andy! There you are!

I've been trying to get hold of you.

Hello, Mr Hammond. Um,

it's about the video. Er... I, um...

I don't suppose you've seen Jen,

have you?

Hello, Andy! I'm here.

I'm helping Mr Hammond

log on to the website to watch

the pufferfish video.

I have to say,

it is absolutely spectacular!

The pictures are so clear!

Those cameras in the aquarium

are very good, aren't they?

They make you feel like you're right

up close to the action.

Yes, they do, Mr Hammond.

Sometimes a bit too close.

See you next time!
