0:00:34 > 0:00:38OK, hide and seek. You count to ten, I'll go hide.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Oh, what's this, a tree? No! It's a branch, no.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42Oh, it's Andy!

0:00:42 > 0:00:46Hello, I'm Andy, and I work here at Pickles' Animal Park.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48It's my job to look after all the animals,

0:00:48 > 0:00:50and today, it's quite chilly,

0:00:50 > 0:00:53so I'm making sure that the animals are nice and warm.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Like this little guy.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hey, come on, Andy, I'm trying to play a game here!

0:00:59 > 0:01:01This looks like a good hiding place!

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Oh, no, I can't hide there. Urgh!

0:01:03 > 0:01:07This is Forrest the ferret. Now, he's fabulously furry, so he's OK.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10But not all animals have fur to keep them warm,

0:01:10 > 0:01:13so let's go and check on some more. Come on.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Right, what to do today?

0:01:22 > 0:01:27I've got to clean me shell and... Oh, oh, there's Andy. Hello, Andy!

0:01:27 > 0:01:31This is Tilda. She's a tortoise. Isn't that right, Tilda?

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Tortoise with a capital T, Andy!

0:01:33 > 0:01:36I'm just checking to make sure she's nice and warm.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40In her home here, she has special heated lamps that we've put in

0:01:40 > 0:01:42to help with that. Are you warm?

0:01:42 > 0:01:44It's like the Caribbean, Andy!

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Now, some tortoises hibernate,

0:01:47 > 0:01:49which means they build nests out of leaves or twigs,

0:01:49 > 0:01:51make sure they're nice and warm,

0:01:51 > 0:01:55then they sleep for months on end until winter is over.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59Imagine that - sleeping for months and months,

0:01:59 > 0:02:02only waking up for a quick snack, then straight back to sleep again!

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Oh, it's a hard life!

0:02:05 > 0:02:06Sounds good to me.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08See you later, Tilda.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09See you later, Andy.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13VIA RADIO: 'Come in, Andy. Over.'

0:02:13 > 0:02:14Oh, that'll be the boss.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Hello, Mr Pickles, Andy here. Over.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20'Andy, I just popped onto Gorilla Island

0:02:20 > 0:02:24'and noticed Gary the gorilla is low on drinking water.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28'He's having a nap now, but could you bring some water over? Over.'

0:02:28 > 0:02:30No problem, sir.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33I'll just have my tea-break, then get straight to it. Over.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36'Ah, good man. Pickles out!'

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Hi, KiP.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Oh, hi, Andy!

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Wow, what are you making here?

0:02:52 > 0:02:55This is my brand new invention.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57My Gloriously Groovy Gliding Gadget.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Brilliant! What does it do?

0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Well, you know how cats love climbing trees?- Yeah.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Well, we're not so keen on falling out of them.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10So, I thought that if I wore these special wings,

0:03:10 > 0:03:15then if I did fall, I could just glide gently to the ground.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Good idea, Kip!

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Thanks. Now all I need to do is test it.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22So what have you been doing?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Me? I've just been to see Tilda the tortoise,

0:03:24 > 0:03:28to make sure she has enough leaves for when she starts hibernating.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Hibernating? What's that?

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Hibernating, Kip,

0:03:32 > 0:03:35is what some animals do when the weather gets cold.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38They slow down their breathing...

0:03:38 > 0:03:39ANDY BREATHES SLOWLY

0:03:39 > 0:03:41They slow down their heartbeat...

0:03:41 > 0:03:43HE IMITATES HEARTBEAT

0:03:43 > 0:03:49And then they stay completely still until it gets warm again.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55Oh, oh, oh! Well, it sounds like they're having a nap.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58KIP YAWNS

0:03:58 > 0:03:59ANDY SNORES

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Well, it's kind of like napping,

0:04:03 > 0:04:06but it's napping that lasts for months and months.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Wow! Well, that's nothing like a cat-nap, then.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13Well, that's because cats don't hibernate.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15But bears do, and bats do,

0:04:15 > 0:04:19- and there's even one type of butterfly that hibernates!- Really?

0:04:20 > 0:04:25Yep! High up in the beautiful green mountains of Mexico,

0:04:25 > 0:04:29- there are millions and millions of monarch butterflies.- Wow!

0:04:29 > 0:04:33There are so many of them, Kip, that it looks like the forest

0:04:33 > 0:04:35is covered in a great big butterfly blanket!

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Wow, I'd love to see that! That sounds amazing!

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Well, in that case...

0:04:41 > 0:04:43BOTH: It's time to go on a wild adventure!

0:04:43 > 0:04:46We get to see monarch butterflies hibernating!

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Yeah, and we can test out my Gloriously Groovy Gliding Gadget!

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Come on!

0:04:55 > 0:04:56- One, Gadgetpack!- Check!

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Two, Gizmo!

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Check!

0:05:00 > 0:05:04Three, my Gloriously Groovy Gliding Gadget!

0:05:04 > 0:05:05Check!

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Just in case we need it.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13And last but not least - the Kipmobile!

0:05:13 > 0:05:14Seatbelts on.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Hit it, Kip!

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Woo-hoo-hoo, we're in space!

0:06:03 > 0:06:08Wow! This view just gets better and better, Kip.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10So, where to, Andy?

0:06:10 > 0:06:12The mighty mountains of Mexico!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15That's where the monarchs meet up in their millions!

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Well, then, Mexico, here we come! Go, CatNav, go!- Whoa!

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Going doooown!

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Ooh, it is really cold!

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Oh. Wow! Look at that mist ahead!

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Andy, are you there?

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Yes, I'm here, Kip. I just can't see anything!

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Oh! That's better.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Right, come on then, Kip. Let's land.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05It's kind of spooky, isn't it?

0:07:05 > 0:07:06Yeah, it is a bit.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08But it is the last day of winter here,

0:07:08 > 0:07:11so the sun should come out any time soon.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13I've never seen leaves like those before!

0:07:13 > 0:07:17- And I've climbed lots of trees! - They're not leaves, Kip!

0:07:17 > 0:07:21They're millions of butterflies!

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Wow! And they've all been asleep for four months

0:07:23 > 0:07:25throughout the Mexican winter.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29And when the sun comes out, they'll all fly around the forest.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Come on, let's go. I want to get a good spot so we can watch them.

0:07:32 > 0:07:37You know what? All this talk of sleep is making me very tired.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Oh, I think I might just have a little nap.

0:07:41 > 0:07:42KIP SNORES

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Kip?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Wow! Kip must have been really tired. Oh, well.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48I'll have to go on my own.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Kip! Enjoy your cat nap! See ya!

0:07:51 > 0:07:52(Come on.)

0:07:59 > 0:08:02TREES CREAK

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Isn't this incredible?!

0:08:07 > 0:08:10The forest is so full of sleeping monarch butterflies,

0:08:10 > 0:08:13you can hardly see the trees!

0:08:13 > 0:08:14Wow!

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Not all the animals are fast asleep in the forest.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Because some of them get knocked off the trees by the clumsy birds.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Come on, let's take a closer look at these.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Imagine that! One minute, you're fast asleep in a tree,

0:08:34 > 0:08:37dreaming of flowers, then the next minute, you're on the ground

0:08:37 > 0:08:41crawling around, thinking, "How did I get here?"

0:08:41 > 0:08:44And because they've been asleep for so long,

0:08:44 > 0:08:46they have to shake their wings

0:08:46 > 0:08:48really quickly to warm up. Like this.

0:08:52 > 0:08:59Oh. It looks like they're in luck. The sun's coming out!

0:08:59 > 0:09:01BIRDSONG

0:09:01 > 0:09:02There we go, buddy!

0:09:04 > 0:09:07- 'Hey, Kip!' - Oh... Yeah, Andy, I'm here.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11I'm wide awake and ready for action!

0:09:11 > 0:09:12'Take a look at the forest.'

0:09:12 > 0:09:15All the butterflies are waking up and coming to life!

0:09:19 > 0:09:25Oh, wow! I've never seen so many butterflies!

0:09:25 > 0:09:27We really were just in time!

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I need to get up close and fly like them.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Now, if I want to fly like a monarch butterfly,

0:09:35 > 0:09:38I need to shrink down to the size of one.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Size of a monarch butterfly!

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Perfect. Activate rocket pack!

0:09:55 > 0:09:58All right. Time for take-off!

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Wow. This is amazing!

0:10:07 > 0:10:10The rocket jets are scaring the butterflies.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Er, I know! My Gloriously Groovy Gliding Gadget!

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Of course! Good idea, Kip!

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Time to fly like they do!

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Wow. Nice one, Kip! OK, off we go!

0:10:32 > 0:10:35This is even more amazing than I could have ever imagined!

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Look at me, I'm flying like a butterfly!

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Hello, butterflies!

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Wakey-wakey!

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Oh, check these guys out!

0:11:01 > 0:11:05You know how some of us like to have a glass of water in the morning?

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Well, so do monarch butterflies!

0:11:07 > 0:11:11Only, they haven't had a drink of water for four whole months!

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Which is why they're so thirsty!

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Drink up, buddy!

0:11:16 > 0:11:19And now the sun's out, it's starting to get hotter,

0:11:19 > 0:11:22which means they're all beginning to wake up.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25And fill the air. Wow!

0:11:29 > 0:11:30Look at this!

0:11:38 > 0:11:40There are so many!

0:11:41 > 0:11:45There are thousands of monarch butterflies flying everywhere.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48Ooh.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52In fact, there are so many, I can't really see where I'm going.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53Excuse me,

0:11:53 > 0:11:55can you see...? Woah!

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Ah! Oh, no!

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Now I'm soaking wet,

0:12:00 > 0:12:02and I still can't see where I'm going.

0:12:02 > 0:12:07I'm going to need Kip's help. Kip, Kip, can you come and get me?

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Coming, Andy!

0:12:10 > 0:12:12HORN BEEPS

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Ah, nice one, Kip. I knew I could count on you.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18Andy, upload!

0:12:18 > 0:12:20See you later, my fluttery friends!

0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Perfect timing, Kip!- Ha!

0:12:29 > 0:12:31These wings worked perfectly.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34- They really helped me to flutter along with the butterflies!- Ha-ha!

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Brilliant. Let's head home.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Good idea.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03'Come in, Andy. Are you receiving? Over.'

0:13:03 > 0:13:05Oh... It's Mr Pickles, the boss.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10My trousers are still wet.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here. Over.

0:13:12 > 0:13:17'What's going on, Andy? I've been trying to get hold of you. Over.'

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Well, Mr Pickles I've, um, I've just been, er,

0:13:20 > 0:13:22I've just been...

0:13:22 > 0:13:28I've been collecting some water for Gary the gorilla. Over.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29'Super, Andy.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31'I knew I could count on you!

0:13:31 > 0:13:33'Pickles out!'

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Phew! That was a close one. See you next time!
