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

It's my job to look after all the animals.

Some of the animals need a little extra care. Like William here.

William is a baby wallaby. And he needs feeding every few hours.

-I dibbidy-dibbidy do.

-'Come in, Andy. Over'

Excuse me, William. It's Mr Pickles, the park owner.

Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here. Over.

'Hello, Andy. The ice-cream cart has broken and I need you to mend it.

'The children will be arriving soon, wanting ice creams. Over.'

Not a problem, Mr Pickles. I'm just feeding William

-and then I'll get straight to it. Over.

-'Good job, Andy. Pickles out.'

Andy, can I have one of those ice creams Mr Pickles is talking about?

Oh.

HE PUFFS AND PANTS

Oh! Woof! This is really hard work.

These ice creams will melt

and the children will be really disappointed.

Luckily, I've saved an ice lolly for Kip. Fish flavoured!

She loves that.

Oh, no!

CRASH!

Oh! Oh, no!

I'm going to need Kip's help for this one.

Oh!

Oh! I made it! Hi, Kip.

Oh. Hello, Andy. What are you doing with an ice-cream cart?

I had a bit of an accident. I was pushing the cart up the hill

and it rolled all the way down and crashed into a fence.

I know! I didn't apply the brakes. Do you think you can fix it?

I certainly could, once I've got this new heater working.

Heater? But that's a computer.

Exactly! But when I press this...

Ha! I have a lovely warm fire.

Or, as I like to call it, my Super Roasty Snug And Toasty.

-That's amazing. You can really feel the heat.

-Yeah.

I just plug this into any computer and I've got my own portable fire.

Kip, you are a genius.

-Ha-ha!

-Oh! I almost forgot. I've got a surprise for you. An ice lolly.

-Oh! What flavour?

-Fish flavour, your favourite. And...

Oh. I think it might have melted, Andy.

But thank you anyway. Shame. I was getting hungry.

Sorry about that. It's a good thing you're not a baby wallaby.

-They need feeding every two hours.

-Sounds a bit like someone I know!

Yeah... Seriously though,

there are some animals that go for a really long time without food.

What kind of animals?

Erm... Well...

Polar bears! The mum stays in her den all winter long with her cubs.

When they start to grow, they need more food, so in springtime,

they come out of the den and they search for their first proper meal.

Oh, I'd love to see that!

We could follow the cubs

on their first ever journey to find food.

You know what this sounds like, don't you, Kip?

BOTH: Let's go on a Wild Adventure!

Yeah!

-One - gadget pack.

-Check.

-Two - gizmo.

-Check.

-Three - my Super Roasty Snug And Toasty.

-Check.

Just in case we need it. And last but not least, the Kipmobile!

Seatbelts on.

Hit it, Kip.

Liftoff!

-Ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!

-Woo-hoo!

We're in space!

-Where to, Andy?

-The Arctic, Kip. At the top of the world.

It gets really cold and snowy there and polar bears love the snow.

-Then the Arctic it is! Go cat nav, go!

-Woo-hoo!

I think we must be near the polar bears, Andy.

It's getting really, c-c-cold.

Yeah, you're right, Kip. Come on. Let's wrap up warm.

Here you go.

Oh, thanks, Andy. That's much better.

-Oh! Look, Andy! The cat nav's showing there's an animal below us.

-Oh, look!

I think it might be an arctic fox.

Let's have a closer look on the computer.

Oh! She looks really cute.

She does, doesn't she? They're clever too.

Arctic foxes bury food in the summertime,

so when it comes to winter and there's not much food around,

they dig it back up, so they don't go hungry.

Oh, wow! That's cool!

You get it? Cool! Ha-ha!

Come on. Let's go find some polar bears.

Woo-hoo-hoo!

Coming in to land.

-Ooh!

-OK, now they must be around here somewhere.

-Right then, Kip. Are you ready to take a look?

-Erm...

But actually, it's a little cold.

If it's all right with you,

I might stay out here and try my Super Roasty Snug And Toasty.

-All right, then.

-But, Andy...

-Yeah?

-Be careful.

I always am, Kip.

Ha-ha!

Ha-ha-ha! Toasty!

Check this out! A steep slope with lots of thick snow to dig a hole.

This looks like just the right place for polar bears to make their dens.

Look, there's one now, coming out of the snow.

She was fast asleep in the hole

and now she's come up to stretch her legs

and get some fresh air.

Oh, she's not alone. There's a cub as well.

Aw, and another one!

A couple of cubs. Come on, fellas. Out you come.

-Ah!

-'Kip, can you hear me? Kip, are you there?'

Oh! Hi, Andy. How's it going?

Check out these polar bear cubs.

It's the very first time they've ever come out of their hole. Look!

Aw, wow! They're even cuter than Arctic foxes!

After living in that hole all winter,

these polar bears need to get their very first solid food.

And the best place for that is all the way down there,

on that flat sea ice.

It's a long way and this journey can be dangerous for these little cubs.

As it's the very first time they've ever walked on snow,

they're going to need some practice.

Not me though.

I'm a professional when it comes to walking on sno-o-o-w!

Argh!

Andy, are you OK?

Hi, Kip. Yeah, I'm fine, thanks.

I need a bit more practice walking on the snow too! See you later.

And it looks like the first lesson is walking on all fours.

I'll give it a go too!

Polar bears are really good at walking on snow.

That's because they have fur on their paws

and they're also covered in little bumps,

which stops them from slipping.

Unlike me!

Argh!

Woo-hoo!

Now the polar bears cubs have to get all the way

from the top of this slope

down there to the sea ice to get some food.

And it looks like Mum's got the best way of getting down. Brilliant fun!

I'm going to have a go too!

Woo-hoo-hoo!

Come on, little guys. Follow me. Woo-hoo!

Woo! Whoa! I can't stop! Hang on!

Oh!

Oh!

Phoof!

Erm... I'm not quite as good as I thought.

Oh, look, they've made it to the bottom.

Oh, hang on. Wait for me.

Oh, not again!

I've tried my very best to follow them down to the sea ice

to watch them eat their food.

But I can barely stand on the snow!

What I need are some big furry paws, just like the polar bears.

But since I don't have them, I think it's time for me to go.

Time to call Kip, I think.

Kip!

'Kip, are you there?

'Kip!'

Don't worry, Andy. I'm coming!

Ah, nice one, Kip.

Andy, upload.

See you later, polar bears. Waaargh!

-Oh! Thanks, Kip.

-Mind the seats. I've just had them cleaned.

-Sorry.

Look, the polar bears are going for their first proper meal.

I hope you find something to eat!

-That reminds me, I'm feeling quite hungry.

-You're always hungry. Whoa!

-Ah.

-'Andy. Come in, Andy. Over.'

Uh-oh. That'll be Mr Pickles.

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

'Ah, Andy. Have you mended the ice cream cart, so it's nice and cold,

-'ready for all the ice lollies? Over.'

-Oh.

What's all this, up my sleeve?

It's ice. Don't worry, Mr Pickles. I've got plenty of ice right here

to freeze those ice lollies.

-It's all taken care of. Over.

-'Well done, Andy. Pickles out.'

Ha-ha! See you next time.
