Hi, I'm Andy and I work at Pickles' Animal Park.

It's my job to look after the animals

even the hard to find ones like...

Oh, don't tell him. I'm up here!

Oh!

Come here, Suzy.

Now this is Suzy - the giant spiny stick insect.

She's not the biggest animal we have in the park

but she's certainly the biggest insect. Isn't that right?

Yeah, I'm huge. I can wrap my legs round your fingers, look.

Now, giant spiny stick insects come from the rain forests

of Papua New Guinea where it's wet and humid all year round

which is why I spray Suzy's enclosure every day

with a bit of water.

-There we go, Suzy.

-Whoo!

Here's some rain for you to make you feel right at home.

Suzy's not the only animal that likes a bit of rain every day.

Are you talking about Chris? Ow, send him my love.

Chameleons also live in rain forests

and they drink the rain that lands on the leaves.

They have a special shaped head like a funnel

and when the rain comes down the water drips all the way down

to the tip of the nose into the mouth.

Right, are you ready for some rain, Chris?

-Spray away, man.

-How's that?

Yeah, it's just like home. I was just saying the other day...

Hang on, am I dribbling? Oh, I am. How embarrassing!

'Come in, Andy. Andy, come in. Over.'

Sorry, Chris, it's the boss. Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here, over.

'Hello, Andy. I seem to have lost my umbrella somewhere in the park

'and was wondering if you could keep an eye out for it on your rounds.

-'Would you mind? Over.'

-No problem, sir.

I'm just heading back to the workshop for a tea break

-and I'll keep my eyes wide open. Over.

-'Thanks, Andy. Pickles out.'

Hi, Kip.

Oh! Hello, Andy.

What are you doing in there, Kip?

-Oh, where have you been?

-I've been doing my morning rounds.

I've been spraying Suzy the stick insect and Chris the chameleon.

Spraying them? With what?

With water. They come from rain forests

and they're used to everything being wet.

So every day I make sure I spray them.

Eurgh! I'm glad I'm not a stick insect or a chameleon.

I don't like getting my fur wet, which is why, my dear Andrew,

I have been working on this.

-Hang on a minute. That's not Mr Pickles' umbrella is it?

-No.

This isn't Mr Pickles' ordinary old umbrella.

This is my hugely helpful head umbrella.

When it rains I can still do some gardening without getting wet.

-Oh, Kip, you're a genius.

-Well, you know us cats.

We really don't like getting caught in the rain.

You're not the only ones.

-We aren't?

-No.

Lots of animals aren't keen on being in the rain.

Animals called orang-utans are so clever

they use leaves to build brilliant umbrellas.

An animal that builds its own umbrella?

You know what this means, don't you, Kip?

BOTH: It's time to go an a wild adventure.

We get to actually watch orang-utans building umbrellas.

And we can try out my hugely helpful head umbrella.

What are we waiting for? Come on, let's go!

-One - Gadget pack.

-Check.

-Two - Gizmo.

-Check.

-Three - My hugely helpful head umbrella.

-Check.

Just in case we need it.

And last but not least - The Kipmobile.

Seatbelts on.

Hit it, Kip!

Lift off!

BOTH: Whoa!

Woo-hoo-hoo! We're in Space!

So, where to, Andy?

We're going to the third largest island in the world, Kip.

A place called Borneo and that's where we'll find our orang-utans.

Then Borneo it is. Go cat nav, go.

Borneoooooo!

It says here on the cat nav that orang-utans can be really strong

and can grow to three times the size of you.

That's right. They're down there in that forest.

Whoa!

Erm, Kip, why haven't we landed in the forest?

Oh, er, er, no reason.

I just thought it might be nice to be, erm, out of the trees

-and surrounded by water for once.

-But you don't like water.

Well, I suppose I'll just have to stay in the Kipmobile

just in case the water level rises

and I have to fly the Kipmobile to safety.

-OK, if you're sure.

-But don't let me stop you from going.

-Just be careful, Andy.

-I will, Kip. See you soon.

Phew.

Well, I'm not having much luck finding orang-utans

in this thick forest.

Even though they've got bright orange fur,

they're still quite difficult to find amongst all these branches.

But I think I've just found my first one!

Right, I'm going to need to get really close

which means climbing this tree.

Oh, look! It's a female and her baby.

And look, can you see?

They're holding on with their hands and their feet.

I'd love to swing from tree to tree like orang-utans.

It would be great fun.

Actually, I'm going to give it a go.

Erm.

Er... Ah. Ready?

HE PANTS

OK, here goes!

Whoo!

-I'm swinging like an orang-utan!

-HE SCREAMS

At least my built-in life jacket works.

Can you see what I can see?

That gives me an idea.

THUNDER CLAP

This is incredible.

I've just been rescued by an orang-utan.

Full steam ahead!

These orang-utans are so clever. They're amazing.

They can work out how to do all sorts of things.

Like this young mum here has learned how to paddle this canoe

owned by a local fisherman. Incredible!

Which means I don't have to walk or swing through the forest.

I can float.

THUNDER CLAP

Come on, let's find some of your friends making umbrellas.

Whoa!

Thanks for the lift, guys.

That's better.

Eurgh.

Look! Oh, yes!

It's an orang-utan building an umbrella out of leaves.

This is exactly what I wanted to show you.

'Hey, Andy. Are you there? Is everything all right?'

Hi, Kip.

Everything's fine, thanks. What are those leaves behind you?

Well, I heard the thunder

and wondered how I could keep the Kipmobile dry.

Then I had a brilliant idea.

Do what the orang-utans do.

So, I made a huge leafy umbrella for the Kipmobile.

There.

-Oh, brilliant, Kip.

-THUNDER ROLLS

Kip, look.

I've found one of the orang-utans doing exactly that right now.

She must have picked the leafy branches when it started to rain.

And now look, she's made a perfect umbrella.

Wow!

And it's keeping her nice and dry.

Purr-fect. Ha!

Oh. I think it might be time for me to make one too.

I'm getting soaked again.

Oh, hey! Why don't you use my hugely helpful head umbrella?

-Great idea!

-Yeah!

-Nice one, Kip.

This is great, isn't it? My head umbrella is keeping me nicely dry

and you've got your leafy branch umbrella.

Oh!

This would make a fantastic picture for Kip's photo album.

You don't mind, do you?

Good.

You stay there. This is going to be great! Yeah, stay still.

Don't move.

That's it, that's... Whoa!

Oh, no. Not again.

Kip!

Kip, can you come and get me, please.

Kip?

It's all right, Andy, I'm coming.

Ah, nice one, Kip!

I can always count on you.

Andy, upload.

See you later orang-utan!

Thanks, Kip.

Oh, your hugely helpful head umbrella worked a treat.

Unfortunately, it didn't stop me from getting wet.

Not to worry, you'll soon be back at the workshop.

-Come on, let's head home.

-Yeah.

'Come in, Andy.

'Andy, are you receiving? Over.'

Uh-oh. That'll be the boss.

Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here receiving loud and clear. Over.

'Andy, you haven't found my umbrella, have you?

'I've got to go out soon and I think it's going to rain. Over.'

Erm, well I haven't found your umbrella

but I have one right here that you can borrow. Over.

'Oh, that's wonderful, Andy. Thank you.

'I'll pop right over and collect it in a jiffy. Pickles out.'

-Is that OK, Kip?

-Anything to help.

-See you next time!

-Bye!
