0:00:34 > 0:00:39Morning, you lot! Hi, I'm Andy and I work here at Pickles Animal Park.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41It's my job to look after all the animals,

0:00:41 > 0:00:45including my furry friends right here, the meerkats.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Morning!- All right, Andy!

0:00:47 > 0:00:50You can see that they've got long curved claws,

0:00:50 > 0:00:53which are perfect for digging up food in the wild.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57But right here at the Animal Park, I give them their food.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59We're going to have a bit of fun.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02I'm going to bury this and they have to find it.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04All right, you lot, no peeking!

0:01:04 > 0:01:09Here we go. Look, go over there, over there.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14This way they get plenty of exercise, it's lots of fun,

0:01:14 > 0:01:17and they get a tasty treat. If they find it.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20'Come in, Andy. Are you receiving? Over.'

0:01:20 > 0:01:21That's Mr pickles, my boss.

0:01:21 > 0:01:26Hello, Mr Pickles, Andy here. Receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29- 'Hello, Andy. How's it going? - Not too bad, thanks, sir.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32I'm here with the meerkats at the moment.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35'Excellent. I wonder if you could do me a favour.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39'I was wondering whether you had remembered to take any mud

0:01:39 > 0:01:40'over to the rhinos.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44'We really don't want their skin drying out. Over.'

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Not at all, sir.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50I'm just going to go on my tea break and then I'll get to it. Over.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53'Oh, thanks, Andy. Pickles out.'

0:01:53 > 0:01:57Right, time to go back to the workshop. Happy digging. See ya!

0:01:57 > 0:02:01It must be around here somewhere. Keep on looking!

0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Hello, Kip.- Hello, Andy. - You look hard at work.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18- What's this you're working on? - Oh, that?

0:02:18 > 0:02:21I'm just busy finishing my latest invention.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24What, a spade? I'm sorry to tell you this,

0:02:24 > 0:02:27- but spades were invented a long time ago.- Hmmm!

0:02:27 > 0:02:31It's not just any old spade because they take up too much room

0:02:31 > 0:02:35in the shed, leaving almost no room for my sun lounger.

0:02:35 > 0:02:42To solve the problem, I've made this, my fabulously fun folding spade.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46You fold it over like this, and it hardly takes up any room at all.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51Plus, it has an extra specially sharp end to make it easier to dig.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Great idea, Kip!

0:02:53 > 0:02:56With this, you'll be able to dig as good as the meerkats.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59They really are good diggers, aren't they?

0:02:59 > 0:03:02In fact, they're almost as good as us cats.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06- Lots of animals that are really good diggers. Frogs.- Frogs?

0:03:06 > 0:03:09African bullfrogs are so good at digging

0:03:09 > 0:03:13that they can even take tiny little ditches, and they do that

0:03:13 > 0:03:17so that the young tadpoles can swim from puddle to puddle.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22Bullfrogs digging ditches? I'd love to see that!

0:03:22 > 0:03:25You know what this sounds like, don't you?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27BOTH: Time to go on a wild adventure!

0:03:27 > 0:03:30We get to see bullfrogs digging.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33And we get to try out my fabulously fun folding spade.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37What are we waiting for? Let's do it!

0:03:38 > 0:03:42- One, gadget pack!- Check!

0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Two, gizmo!- Check!

0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Three, my fabulously fun folding spade!- Check!

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Just in case we need it.

0:03:52 > 0:03:57- Last but not least, the Kipmobile! - Seatbelts on.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Hit it, Kip!

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Lift off!

0:04:42 > 0:04:47- Ha-ha-ha-ha!- Woo-hoo-hoo! We're in space!

0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Where to, Andy?- The grassy plains of Southern Africa, Kip.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54That's where we'll find our big and bouncy bullfrogs.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58Southern Africa, here we come! Go, catnav, go!

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Wo-ho-ho-ho!

0:05:06 > 0:05:11Where exactly do these African bullfrogs live?

0:05:11 > 0:05:15- They're really tough, so they can live anywhere.- Oh!

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Including places that are really hot in the summer,

0:05:18 > 0:05:22and places that are really cold in the winter.

0:05:22 > 0:05:27- How do we know where to land then? - That's the thing, we don't.- Oh.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31There's a storm coming, so it might be a good idea to land now.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Just over there.- Oh, OK.- Whoa!

0:05:43 > 0:05:44Good landing, Kip.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48- I can't wait to see those cute little frogs.- Cute?

0:05:48 > 0:05:52- I wouldn't say they're cute. They're bullfrogs.- Oh.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56- So they're cute little popping things that sound like bulls.- Yeah!

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Giant bullfrogs.- Giant?!

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Giant? Huh?! Ah...

0:06:02 > 0:06:07If it's all the same to you, I think I might just stay here and um...

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Clean the Kipmobile.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11The Kipmobile? Really?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Hmm. Maybe you're right.

0:06:15 > 0:06:20- Anyway, you be careful.- I will, Kip. I always am. I'll see you later.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Eh?

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Huh?

0:06:34 > 0:06:37I've looked and I've looked

0:06:37 > 0:06:41and I still can't find any giant African bullfrogs.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44That's not surprising as they spend most of the time under

0:06:44 > 0:06:48the ground, waiting for the perfect weather to come along.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Hang on a minute. I think that's now.

0:06:51 > 0:06:52RAIN CLOUDS GRUMBLE

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Rain! I'm going to shrink down to their size.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59That way I can get right down there with them if they appear.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Size of a giant African bullfrog. Here goes!

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Perfect. Now it's time to look for the bullfrogs.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16What sound do they make again? Oh, yeah.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Buuul! Buuuul!

0:07:20 > 0:07:21Buuul! Buuul!

0:07:21 > 0:07:24THUNDER CLAP

0:07:24 > 0:07:29Buuul! Oh, yes! It's started to rain.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33That's good news. It means that the giant bullfrogs should be coming

0:07:33 > 0:07:36out of the ground any minute now.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Right, there's none over there.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43There's none over there either. Oh, where can they be?

0:07:45 > 0:07:49Oops! Oh! Wow!

0:07:49 > 0:07:54Now that's what I'm talking about! Look at him, he's huge!

0:07:55 > 0:07:59Male African bullfrogs can grow over 22 centimetres long

0:07:59 > 0:08:02and weigh as much as a small puppy.

0:08:02 > 0:08:07He might have dug himself in that hole over a year ago,

0:08:07 > 0:08:10and now he's come up because it's started to rain.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Come on, let's follow him

0:08:12 > 0:08:16and hopefully he'll start digging some ditches.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Look! He's led me to lots more of them!

0:08:30 > 0:08:34And they're all enjoying themselves in the flooded grass.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35This is incredible!

0:08:35 > 0:08:40And the one thing that the male's do a lot of is fighting. Whoa!

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Hang on a minute! Time for me to exit.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47This is a real display of strength.

0:08:55 > 0:08:56For the winner,

0:08:56 > 0:09:00it means that he gets to hang on to his patch of the swamp.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01Well done, buddy!

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Phew! I'm glad that's over.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07The male bullfrogs aren't just fighters,

0:09:07 > 0:09:09they've got their caring side too.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Like when they're looking after their tadpoles.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15That is where the ditch digging comes in.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Let's go and find the local daddy daycare centre.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Ah! I've found the daddy daycare centre!

0:09:26 > 0:09:31There are thousands of tadpoles! Come on!

0:09:36 > 0:09:39You see, frogs are amphibians,

0:09:39 > 0:09:42which means that they lay their eggs in water.

0:09:42 > 0:09:47Then the eggs turn into wriggling tadpoles.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50The only problem is, it's been so hot recently

0:09:50 > 0:09:54that these poor tadpoles are needing more water

0:09:54 > 0:09:59because the water is drying up. That is where the daddy comes in.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05Hello! How are you doing? I think they're excited to see you.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09He knows he's got a lot of hard work to do

0:10:09 > 0:10:12because if he doesn't get these tadpoles into a bigger pool

0:10:12 > 0:10:16of water over here, they could be in big trouble.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23- 'Hi, Andy. How's it going?' - Hi, Kip. Everything is fine, thanks.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26- How are you? - 'All good here, thanks.'

0:10:26 > 0:10:31I've been cleaning the Kipmobile, making it completely spick and span.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35Oh, nice one. I can't wait to see it.

0:10:35 > 0:10:40Kip, take a look at this! This is exactly what I wanted to show you.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Bullfrogs digging ditches. Look!

0:10:44 > 0:10:48This one's more like a bulldozer. Look what he's doing with his legs.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50He's pushing the mud aside.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Go on, buddy!

0:10:54 > 0:10:57That's amazing!

0:10:58 > 0:11:02I wish there was some way I could help him out.

0:11:02 > 0:11:07- Why don't you use my fabulously fun folding spade?- Brilliant! Of course!

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Why didn't I think of that? Nice one!

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Right!

0:11:14 > 0:11:16BAG UNZIPS

0:11:21 > 0:11:25Don't worry, Mr Bullfrog, I'll give you a helping hand!

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Phew!

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Oh, yes!

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Phew!

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Oh.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49It's really working! Come on, guys, keep on swimming.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53They're almost all in there now. That's it!

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Good teamwork, Mr Bullfrog. Oh! Aw! Oyy!

0:11:58 > 0:12:02Hang on! Where are you going?! Help us out, please!

0:12:02 > 0:12:09Oh! Oh, no! I'm going to need some help. Kip! Kip, I'm stuck!

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Can you come and get me, please?

0:12:11 > 0:12:16- Kip!- It's all right, Andy, I'm coming!

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Oh! Nice one, Kip! I can always count on you.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Andy upload!

0:12:25 > 0:12:29See you later, tadpoles. And bullfrog, wherever you are.

0:12:31 > 0:12:36Oh, no! My nice clean Kipmobile!

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Sorry, Kip!

0:12:38 > 0:12:43- Let's head home and get you all cleaned up.- Yeah.

0:13:06 > 0:13:11'Come in, Andy. Andy, are you receiving? Over.'

0:13:11 > 0:13:15Uh-oh. It's the boss. I was supposed to get him something.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16I can't remember what.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19'Andy, come in.

0:13:19 > 0:13:24Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here. Receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25'I was wonder, Andy,

0:13:25 > 0:13:29'whether you'd remembered to take any mud over to the rhinos.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33'I really don't want their skin drying out. Over.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Uh...it's OK, Mr Pickles.

0:13:35 > 0:13:40I've collected quite a lot of mud here already. Over.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44'Well done, Andy. I can always count on you. Pickles out.'

0:13:44 > 0:13:49Oh, well done, Andy. You go and see the rhinos and I'll clean the buggy.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53Thanks. Good idea. See you next time for another wild adventure.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Ha-ha.
