0:00:35 > 0:00:37Oh, hey, Andy!

0:00:37 > 0:00:40Hello, and welcome to Pickles Animal Park.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43I'm Andy, and today we're having a treasure hunt,

0:00:43 > 0:00:47so I'm putting these signs up as clues.

0:00:47 > 0:00:48It's very exciting.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi there, guys. You all right? How are you doing, Mickey?

0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm fine, Andy. What's the treasure? Is it a banana?

0:00:55 > 0:00:57No, it's not a banana.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Actually, I'm not sure what it is.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01'Andy, come in. Over.'

0:01:01 > 0:01:03That'll be Mr Pickles, my boss.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here. Over.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10'I just wanted to check you've put the signs

0:01:10 > 0:01:14- 'for the treasure hunt out. Over.' - No problem, Mr Pickles. They're up.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18I've got one more to do, and then it's done. Over.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21'And they're all pointing the right way, Andy?'

0:01:21 > 0:01:23No problem. They're all pointing...

0:01:23 > 0:01:28'And you've got a really good prize for the winner, Andy? Over.'

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Erm, yes, of course, sir. No problem.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33I've got something exciting and exotic.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37In fact, I'm just off to the workshop to get it now. Over.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Oh, no!

0:01:38 > 0:01:42I hammered the nail in the wrong place on this sign,

0:01:42 > 0:01:44and it's turned upside down.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Who knows where the others are facing?

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Don't worry, I'll get the boys!

0:01:47 > 0:01:51I'd better get back. Maybe Kip can help.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Time to find the treasure! Move!

0:01:56 > 0:01:57Hello, Kip!

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Oh, hi, Andy!

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Er, w-w-what are you looking for?

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Looking for a prize for the treasure hunt.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09I told Mr Pickles I'd find something exotic and exciting.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12I don't know if we have anything like that.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14I'm worried no one'll find the treasure anyway.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17I've been having trouble with the signs.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21They keep turning upside down! Nobody'll know where to go.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Ha-ha! Oh, well, sounds like a topsy-turvy treasure hunt!

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Mind you, that could be fun.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Well, fun for a creature like a fruitbat, maybe,

0:02:31 > 0:02:32but not for the visitors.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Why would a fruitbat like that, Andy?

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Because fruitbats spend most of their time being upside down, Kip.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Oh, wow!

0:02:42 > 0:02:47Well, as it happens, I've just added a new button to the Kipmobile.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51It's called the Big Dipper Upside Down Flipper!

0:02:51 > 0:02:53You like the idea of being upside down?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Well, I've never tried it, but it sounds fun!

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Well, fruitbats love it!

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Can we go and fly with them, Andy?

0:03:01 > 0:03:04You know what this sounds like, Kip?

0:03:04 > 0:03:07BOTH: Time to go on a wild adventure!

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Oh, and we can try out my new Big Dipper Upside Down Flipper!

0:03:11 > 0:03:14And maybe we can find an exotic and exciting prize!

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Ha-ha! Let's go!

0:03:19 > 0:03:21- One, gadget pack.- Check!

0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Two, gizmo.- Check!

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Three, the Big Dipper Upside Down Flipper.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31- Check!- Just in case we need it.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35And, last but not least, the Kipmobile!

0:03:35 > 0:03:36Seat belts on.

0:03:39 > 0:03:40Hit it, Kip!

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Liftoff!

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Woo-hoo! We're in space!

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Where to, Andy?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Zambia in southern Africa, Kip.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32Right.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Let's try out my new Big Dipper Upside Down Flipper on the way!

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Ha-ha! Are you ready, Andy?

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Erm. I think so!

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Great! Zambia here we come!

0:04:43 > 0:04:44Go, catnav, go!

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Woooooaaaaaahhhh!

0:04:55 > 0:05:00OK, Kip. I think this is the place. Why don't we land just over there?

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Oh, OK, Andy.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Oh, Kip?- Mm-hm.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Do you think we should turn the right way up?

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Oh, OK, Andy.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17Erm, Andy.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Yes? - It won't go back the right way up.

0:05:22 > 0:05:23Oh.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27BOTH: Wooaaaaahhhh!

0:05:27 > 0:05:30CRASH!

0:05:30 > 0:05:36Erm, not what I'd call the best landing in the world, Kip.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Sorry, Andy. At least we landed the right way up...

0:05:40 > 0:05:42..eventually.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Look, Kip! We've got here just in time to see the fruitbats

0:05:46 > 0:05:48before they fly off into the night!

0:05:50 > 0:05:55If fruitbats have wings, does that mean they're a kind of bird?

0:05:55 > 0:05:59I can see why you'd say that, Kip, but no, they're not birds.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02They don't have feathers, they don't have beaks,

0:06:02 > 0:06:04and their mums don't lay eggs.

0:06:04 > 0:06:09Bats are mammals. In fact, they're the only mammal that can fly.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Come on, let's take a closer look.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17There's so much more I want to show you!

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Erm, well, I might just stay here and see if I can mend

0:06:20 > 0:06:23the Big Dipper Upside Down Flipper on the Kipmobile.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26OK, Kip, good idea. See you soon!

0:06:26 > 0:06:27Bye!

0:06:31 > 0:06:32Help!

0:06:37 > 0:06:41Now, lots of the fruitbats are roosting high up in the trees.

0:06:41 > 0:06:46They're hanging close together because there's not much room

0:06:46 > 0:06:48and there are so many of them.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56To fit in, I'm going to need to shrink to their size.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Size of a giant fruitbat.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Great! Now I need to get up there and hang out with the bats.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Rocket pack, on!

0:07:20 > 0:07:21OK, here I go!

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Wow! There are thousands of bats roosting up here!

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Roosting is what it's called when the bats are hanging out

0:07:33 > 0:07:34and resting like this.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40And those beautiful wings are not just used for flying,

0:07:40 > 0:07:42they're used to keep themselves warm,

0:07:42 > 0:07:46and they wrap the wings around them, like this.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50Oh, I've got to give this a try! Hey, Kip! Are you there?

0:07:51 > 0:07:54This is exactly what I wanted to show you.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Bats hanging upside down, look!

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Andy, are you OK? You look kind of odd.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05I'm fine, Kip. I'm just hanging out with the bats.

0:08:05 > 0:08:10Hello! Woah! Nice to meet you!

0:08:10 > 0:08:13But why do bats hang upside down?

0:08:13 > 0:08:17Well, Kip, they don't like taking off from the ground.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20They find it easier to drop from the branch and fly away.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Isn't it hard to hang from your feet all the time?

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Not for bats, Kip. This is how it works. Woah!

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Oh, well. This is how it works.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35We relax our hands, and they stay open, like this.

0:08:35 > 0:08:40But when a bat relaxes its feet, it stays closed. Like this.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43How come you're able to hang there, Andy?

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Well, I'm cheating, you see, Kip.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47I've got my legs around the branch.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Come to think of it, I'm getting a bit dizzy now.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Maybe it's time to come down.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54OK, Andy, but...

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Wooooaaaaahhhh!

0:08:56 > 0:08:58THUD!

0:08:58 > 0:08:59Ooooh!

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Be careful!

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Another great landing, eh, Kip?

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Ha! I think I've fixed the Kipmobile.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14Great. We need to catch up if we want to fly with the fruitbats.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18I think something must have... scared them off!

0:09:20 > 0:09:22I'll get you out of there, Andy!

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Andy, upload!

0:09:36 > 0:09:37Ha-ha-ha!

0:09:37 > 0:09:42You like being upside down more than a fruitbat, don't you, Andy?

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Maybe not quite that much, Kip!

0:09:44 > 0:09:48But I tell you what I would like - to fly with them!

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Hold on!

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Ah, now this is flying!

0:10:01 > 0:10:06Oh, wow! There are so many bats! Where are they all going, Andy?

0:10:06 > 0:10:09They're all looking for food.

0:10:09 > 0:10:14Some bats will fly for over an hour to find the right place for dinner.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17So it's a bit like us driving to a restaurant to eat.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Yeah, I suppose it is, Kip.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Can we follow them to see what they eat?

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Absolutely, let's do it.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26They'd better hurry. It's getting dark.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Don't worry, Kip.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32Fruitbats are nocturnal, meaning they're active at night,

0:10:32 > 0:10:34so that's when they like to eat.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37We're nearly there. It must be dinnertime.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40What do fruitbats eat for dinner, Andy?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Well, the clue is in the name, Kip.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44Fruitbats.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46They eat bats?!

0:10:46 > 0:10:49No, they don't eat bats, they eat fruit.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52There are lots of mango trees around here,

0:10:52 > 0:10:55and the one fruit that bats love to eat are mangoes.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59They sink their big, sharp teeth into the fruit,

0:10:59 > 0:11:03and then suck all the juice out. Let's have a closer look.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Ah, look. Delicious!

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Yeah, mangoes look nice.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Yes, a nice, tasty, exotic fruit, Kip.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Oh, hang on. This one looks juicier.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21- SPLAT! - Oh!

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Ugh!

0:11:24 > 0:11:28That's disgusting, Andy!

0:11:29 > 0:11:31But generally, it's nicer

0:11:31 > 0:11:34when the fruitbats haven't chewed on it first!

0:11:34 > 0:11:38Come on, Kip. Let's go back to the workshop. I'd better tidy up.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40OK, Andy.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Kip, on the way back,

0:11:42 > 0:11:46please don't press the Big Dipper Upside Down Flipper button.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48OK, Andy.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54See you later, fruitbats. Enjoy your dinner!

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Now this is flying!

0:12:06 > 0:12:08No, THIS is flying!

0:12:10 > 0:12:14- A-ha!- Oh, no, not again!

0:12:40 > 0:12:42'Come in, Andy! Over.'

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Uh-oh! It's Mr Pickles, the boss!

0:12:44 > 0:12:49Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here, receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52'Ah, Andy. I wanted to speak to you about the treasure hunt.'

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Oh, no! The signs were the wrong way round!

0:12:56 > 0:12:58'It's been a great success!

0:12:58 > 0:13:02'Those signs you put up have been sending the visitors

0:13:02 > 0:13:05'all round the park. They've had a great time!

0:13:05 > 0:13:10'Have you got an exciting and exotic prize for the winner?'

0:13:10 > 0:13:15Oh, erm, yes, Mr Pickles. It's absolutely fine.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18I've got just the thing right here. Over.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21'Oh, good work, Andy.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25'Bring it on over. We've got the winner here. Pickles out!'

0:13:25 > 0:13:28This mango is the perfect prize, Kip.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31It's an exciting and exotic fruit.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34And tasty, too. Oh, well done, Andy!

0:13:34 > 0:13:37- See you next time for another wild adventure.- Yeah!

0:13:37 > 0:13:39ANDY WHISTLES

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Ow!
