# Come and hide out with me. # | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
Oh, hello, and welcome to my secret hideout. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
Oh. Who turned the lights out? | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
Oh, no. There must be a power cut. Never mind. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
I'm sure I've got a torch somewhere in my drawers. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Sometimes, when it's dark, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
you have to use your other senses to get around. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Luckily, I'm nimble, like a cat. Meow! | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
Oh! Ouch! | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Ah! Oh! | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
My night-vision binoculars. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
Hey - I wonder how other animals get around in the dark. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
Ho-ho! Look at this! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
This guy is a tapir. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Tapirs are like pigs. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
They live in South America. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
They don't mind the dark, because their noses are so good at | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
sniffing out food in the undergrowth. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Your nose works just as well in the dark as it does in the light. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
Now, I need to find that torch in my drawer. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Hang on a minute - I know my smelly socks are near the drawer, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
so if I sniff them out, I'll be closer. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Right. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
HE SNIFFS | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Ooh! I found them. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
A tapir's eyesight isn't very good, but they just take things slowly - | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
sniffing, listening, and feeling their way round in the dark. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
If they took things that slowly during the day, though, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
they'd be lunch for a jaguar. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Hmmm. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Another way to see better in the dark | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
is to open up your eyes really wide, to let more light in. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Tarsiers have too much competition for food during the day, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
so instead, they sleep hidden away in their own secret hideouts. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
But at night, they wake up and use their massive, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
sensitive eyes to see their way around in the dark. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
Come on, let's do it. Ready? | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
One, two, three... | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
That's it. Right. Let's see if this works. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
KNOCK! Oh! Ouch. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
I think I need bigger eyes. Hang on, I recognise that sound. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
KNOCK! KNOCK! | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Hey! It's the wooden ladder to my bed. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
There's another animal that finds its food at night | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
by knocking against wood. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
He doesn't need big eyes to see in the dark, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
or a big nose. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
All he needs are big ears | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
and one really long finger. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
Do you know what it is? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
It's called an aye-aye. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
As in, "Aye-aye, swashbucklers." | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
They use that really long finger to tap against trees, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
and when it sounds a bit hollow, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
that probably means there's a tasty grub | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
or insect living in there. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
Nothing in here. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Then it can use its strong teeth to bite through the bark | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
and scoop them out with its long finger. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
OW! Oof. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
Just knelt on my fossil. That high-pitched squeal reminds me | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
of another animal that's a master of the night - a bat. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
They can fly through the air in pitch-black and avoid bumping | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
into walls or each other. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
They do it by making high-pitched squeaks | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
and listening for an echo. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
If the echo takes a long time to come back, | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
it means that there's nothing really nearby. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
But if the echo is really quick to come back, | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
it means there's something very close, like a wall, or a drawer. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
Come on, let's try squeaking really loud and see if we get an echo. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:10 | |
Ready - squeak! | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
Like that. One, two three - SQUEAK! | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
"SQUEAK" ECHOES | 0:04:16 | 0:04:17 | |
Hey, something's close by. Let's try that again. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
One, two, three - SQUEAK! | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
"SQUEAK" ECHOES | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
There's the echo gain. Really quick. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
Which means... | 0:04:29 | 0:04:30 | |
..the drawer is in front of me. And I've found my torch. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
Ah, fantastic. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
So, you see, there's no need to be scared of the dark. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
If you can't see anything and can't use your eyes, | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
use your ears, use your sense of touch, or use your sense of smell. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
Oh, no. My batteries have run out! | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
You can also call out like a bat. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
HELLO! CAN ANYONE HELP ME? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
No? Oh, well. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
It's time for me to go to bed now, anyway. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
And I know where bed is. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
Right. See you next time for another adventure in my secret hideout. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
Oh! | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
Ooh! Goodnight, Andy! Ooh! | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
