0:00:27 > 0:00:34# It's Andy's Wild Adventures round the world!
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Hello, I'm Andy and I work here at Pickles' Animal Park.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47At the moment, lots of the animals are having babies,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49so I'm just checking to see if they're all right.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51HIGHPITCHED BARKING
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Did you hear that? Sounds like a dog, doesn't it? In a way, it is.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57They're called prairie dogs.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03In the wild, these cute little creatures live in North America.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07They dig really long tunnels with lots of different rooms in them.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10They've also got a nursery for their young, a bit like us, really.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Everything all right there, guys? - Yes, everything's fine and dandy!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Good, glad to hear it.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Now that we know that the prairie dogs are OK, I've come here
0:01:28 > 0:01:32to check these guys out. They're called pelicans.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34They have a very different way of nesting.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Instead of digging tunnels and building nurseries,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41they build their nests out of piles of twigs
0:01:41 > 0:01:45which they carry in their mouth, and boy, what a mouth!
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I love fish!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Right, I think you've had enough now, Patricia. I'm off.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51See you soon.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- RADIO:- 'Come in, Andy.'
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy receiving loud and clear, over.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12'Hello, Andy.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15'I've just visited the warthog area
0:02:15 > 0:02:18'and some of them don't have enough mud to roll in.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20'You know how much they love their mud.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23'Could you mix some up for them when you've got a moment? Over.'
0:02:23 > 0:02:27No problem, Mr Pickles. I'm on my tea break at the moment,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30but I'll get straight to it afterwards, over.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36- 'Pickles out.'- Right, I wonder what Kip's up to.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- Hello, Kip.- Hi, Andy.- Thinking about going surfing, are we?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46What? Oh, this. No, this isn't a surfboard, Andy.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50This is my latest fantastic invention.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54My marvellously motorised mini mud skipper.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56You just press the button on the back and off it goes.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01It looks amazing, Kip. What's it used for?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Oh, it's for gardening on wet days, so I can get around
0:03:04 > 0:03:07my vegetable patch without getting my paws too dirty.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13Now all I need to do is test it. What have you been doing, Andy?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- I've just been to see the pelicans and the prairie dogs, Kip.- Dogs?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Just to make sure that everything's OK for when they have their young.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Dogs, in here? Where?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26No, Kip. Not real dogs, prairie dogs.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31They're called dogs because, well, they make the same sound, like this.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34HIGH-PITCHED BARKING
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Oh, well, that sounds quite cute, actually.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40To keep their babies safe, they build these huge tunnels
0:03:40 > 0:03:42under the ground with lots and lots of rooms.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43It's like a big maze,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45but they're not the only animals
0:03:45 > 0:03:48that want to keep their babies as safe as possible.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52There are penguins that lay their eggs on cliff-tops.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55There are turtles that lay their eggs under the ground,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59and there's this one animal, the pink flamingo.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02It has a pink body and long, thin legs,
0:04:02 > 0:04:07and to keep its chicks safe from harm, it lays its eggs
0:04:07 > 0:04:09in the middle of a big, muddy lake,
0:04:09 > 0:04:13to make sure that no animals can get to them.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Wow! I'd love to see that.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18You know what this sounds like, don't you, Kip?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20BOTH: Time to go on a wild adventure!
0:04:20 > 0:04:24We get to see flamingos on their nests.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27And we can test my marvellously motorised mini mud skipper!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30What are we waiting for, Kip? Let's go!
0:04:32 > 0:04:39- One, gadget pack.- Check. - Two, gizmo.- Check.
0:04:39 > 0:04:46Three, my marvellously motorised mini mud skipper. Just in case we need it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Check.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- And last but not least, the Kipmobile!- Seatbelts on.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Hit it, Kip.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Lift-off!
0:05:49 > 0:05:56- Woo-hoo-hoo! We're in space!- Ha-ha. Where to, Andy?- Kenya in Africa.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- The flamingos live on the lakes there.- Well, Kenya it is.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Go, cat nav, go!
0:06:16 > 0:06:21I can't wait until we find the... flamingos!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Well, not long now.
0:06:23 > 0:06:30- No, Kip, there they are. Just below us.- Wow, there's so many of them.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34That's nothing. Wait until you see where they're going.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Andy, what's that?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41It looks like someone's spilled a load of pink custard in the water.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43That's not pink custard, Kip!
0:06:43 > 0:06:46That's more than a million flamingos, all pink
0:06:46 > 0:06:50and all gathering in the shallow waters of that lake down there.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Come on, let's land.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Hmm, they're surprisingly big, aren't they?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Not that I'm scared or anything.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10I just think maybe I should stay here, just in case.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Just in case...the Kipmobile starts to sink in the mud.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Besides, they don't look too happy to me.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21That's just the shape of their beak, Kip.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24They need it that shape to eat the tiny shrimps that live in the water.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Look, there's one doing it now.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29It's using its beak like a sieve to get the pink shrimps
0:07:29 > 0:07:32out of the water, and that's what makes the feathers turn pink.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36The pinker they are, the prettier they are to the other flamingos.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39But that's not the only way to get the other flamingos to like them.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Why, what else do they do?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44They dance, Kip!
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Size of a flamingo.
0:07:54 > 0:08:00Perfect. Now it's time for a little bird ballet.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05By lifting their heads and ruffling their feathers,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09they're trying to be as tall and as pink as they possibly can,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12which is exactly what the other flamingos
0:08:12 > 0:08:14are looking for in a partner.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Hello. Looking very pretty there.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34KIP LAUGHS
0:08:39 > 0:08:42KIP LAUGHS
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Yay! Yay!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- CHEERING - Thank you, thank you very much.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Thank you.
0:08:52 > 0:08:58- That was amazing, Andy. - Ah, well, thanks, Kip.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Can we have a look at their nests now?
0:09:00 > 0:09:05We sure can, but first, I need to find some mud.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06OK, while you do that
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I've got something very important to get on with.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13OK, then, Kip. Speak soon.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Pink custard. My favourite!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Perfect. Lots and lots of mud.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39While most animals would sink in the mud,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42flamingos have these long, thin legs like stilts,
0:09:42 > 0:09:46which are great for getting through the thick mud.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49See? But they don't come here to play in the mud.
0:09:49 > 0:09:55They come here to build their nests in the mud. Hey, Kip.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Guess what - I've found the flamingos' nests.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Take a look at this.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- Wow, it looks like they're sitting on mini mountains.- It does, doesn't it?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08The reason why they build them like that is because this whole area
0:10:08 > 0:10:13sometimes gets flooded and they need to keep their eggs safe.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I'd love to get a closer look,
0:10:15 > 0:10:19but I don't really want to get stuck in all that yucky mud.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Still, I guess that's why they build the nests here,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25because the other animals don't want to get stuck in the mud either.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- Aren't you forgetting something, Andy?- What's that?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34My marvellously motorised mini mud skipper, of course!
0:10:34 > 0:10:39Of course! Well done, Kip! Right.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I don't want to scare the birds in their nests,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55so I'm going to shrink myself down.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Even smaller. Size of a baby flamingo.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Brilliant! Right, now to get across this mud.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Whoa-ho-ho!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Yay!
0:11:23 > 0:11:29This is brilliant! Yeah!
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Ooh, whoa! Ooh, ah!
0:11:41 > 0:11:47Oh, wow, look! She's just hatched. And can you see?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49She's still white and not pink.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52That's because she hasn't eaten any pink shrimp yet.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Oh, excellent.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Ooh! Aaah!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59SPLAT!
0:12:00 > 0:12:07Uh-oh. This isn't good. I'm stuck in the mud! Oh, no.
0:12:10 > 0:12:17Kip! Kip, hello? I'm going to need your help now.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Kip! Kip!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21COMPUTER BEEPS
0:12:21 > 0:12:27- OK! Andy, upload.- See you later, flamingos. Wherever you are.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Ah!
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- Thanks, Kip. Got a bit stuck in the mud for a second there.- So I see.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44- Now, just don't get it on the seat, yeah?- OK, I'll try, I'll try.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Oh, there's my hat. Ah, there's the gadget pack.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Hang on a minute, where's the mud skipper?
0:12:51 > 0:12:52HE WHISTLES
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Over here. There we go. Tell you what, Kip. This worked a real treat.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Good. Then let's head home.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- RADIO:- 'Come in, Andy. Andy, come in.'
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's Mr Pickles. No.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here, over.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28'Where have you been, Andy?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31'I've been trying to get hold of you, over.'
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Well...
0:13:34 > 0:13:39I've just been collecting some mud for the warthogs, over.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42'Superb, just what we need. Pickles out.'
0:13:42 > 0:13:46See you next time. Right, where's Kip?
