0:00:34 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Andy. I work as a park keeper at Pickles' Animal Park.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41My job is to look after animals. Like these.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44They're hissing cockroaches.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47I have old bark for them to crawl under

0:00:47 > 0:00:50because they love nothing more than some bark.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53How's that, Harry?

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hiss! I like the bark.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58They're called hissing cockroaches

0:00:58 > 0:01:01because to communicate with other animals

0:01:01 > 0:01:05they hiss to tell them they're not to be touched.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07- How's that?- That's right.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10And my favourite subject at school was Hiss-tory!

0:01:10 > 0:01:15- 'Andy, come in. Over.' - Oh, that'll be Mr Pickles, the boss.

0:01:16 > 0:01:21Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25'I was wondering if you could do me a favour.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28'The guinea pigs are running out of grass to eat.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31'Could you bring some? Over.'

0:01:31 > 0:01:36No problem, sir. I'll get straight to it after my tea break. Over.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38'Thanks. Pickles out.'

0:01:38 > 0:01:41I'll put you back. Time for me to get back to work.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43He's always on a tea break!

0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Hello, Kip.- Oh, hi, Andy.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58ALARM BLARES

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Argh! What's that? Turn it off quick. What is it?

0:02:01 > 0:02:03ALARM OFF

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Sorry, I was just trying out my new Awesome Alarm Alert.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10What's it for? Why do you have my gizmo?

0:02:10 > 0:02:16It's for scaring birds when they eat the seeds in my vegetable patch.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Good idea. It doesn't hurt the birds?

0:02:18 > 0:02:25- No, not even a teeny bit.- Good.- It just gives them a start, that's all.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30- ALARM BLARES - Argh! Kip! Kip, turn it off!

0:02:30 > 0:02:34ALARM OFF Sorry. I should test it outside.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Yes, that's a good idea, Kip.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41- What have you been up to?- I've been to see Harry, the hissing cockroach.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Hissing cockroach? - They make hissing sounds

0:02:45 > 0:02:49by blowing air through holes along their body. Amazing!

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Hmm, I guess. - What do you mean, you guess?

0:02:52 > 0:02:56It's only making one type of noise, isn't it?

0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Cats can hiss AND make other sounds. - Yes, they can, Kip.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Cats can... - HE HISSES, PURRS AND MIAOWS

0:03:03 > 0:03:08- Ha-ha!- But one animal can make lots of different sounds.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Really?- There's this cute creature called a prairie dog.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16They have a different sound for every animal they see.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Wow! I'd love to see them.

0:03:18 > 0:03:23- Know what this sounds like? - BOTH: Time to go on a wild adventure!

0:03:23 > 0:03:26We'll get to hear sounds from the prairie dogs.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28And we can test my Awesome Alarm Alert.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31- What are we waiting for? Come on!- Yeah.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- One. Gadget pack.- Check!

0:03:36 > 0:03:41- Two. Gizmo with my new Awesome Alarm Alert.- Check!

0:03:43 > 0:03:48- And last but not least, the Kipmobile!- Seat belts on.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Hit it, Kip!

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Lift off!

0:04:34 > 0:04:38- A-ha!- Whoo-hoo! We're in space!

0:04:38 > 0:04:42- So, where to, Andy? - The grassy plains of North America.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45That's where we'll find our prairie dogs.

0:04:45 > 0:04:50North America, here we come. Go, cat nav, go!

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Whoo-ho-ho!

0:04:53 > 0:04:55CLASSICAL GUITAR MUSIC

0:04:58 > 0:05:02This is the life. Flying high up here, listening to music.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05RADIO CRACKLES

0:05:05 > 0:05:11Oh, that's strange, there's something wrong with the radio.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Don't worry. We should be there any moment.- Yeah.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18So where exactly do these prairie dogs live, Andy?

0:05:18 > 0:05:23- I can't see any.- They live in holes or underground burrows, Kip.

0:05:23 > 0:05:29Oh, hang on. I think we're here. Come on. Let's land.

0:05:31 > 0:05:32HAWK SCREECHES

0:05:37 > 0:05:41- Perfect landing, Kip. - Oh, thanks, Andy.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Oh, look, it's a hawk's nest.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Oh, yeah.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51And there are chicks in the nest.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Which means that the mum is out hunting.- Hunting?

0:05:54 > 0:05:59Er, you know what, I think I might stay here in the Kipmobile and...

0:05:59 > 0:06:01And, um...

0:06:01 > 0:06:04RADIO CRACKLES ..fix the radio.

0:06:05 > 0:06:10- Now, you just be careful.- All right, I will. I'll see you soon.

0:06:15 > 0:06:20You wouldn't expect to see a town all the way out here, would you?

0:06:20 > 0:06:24But that's what this is. A town of prairie dogs.

0:06:24 > 0:06:29That's what it's called when a group of prairie dogs live together.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Ah, this is great.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36What I want to do is get close to them so I can fit right in.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38There's only one thing for it.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Size of a prairie dog.

0:06:47 > 0:06:53Perfect. Let's see if we can hear those calls I was telling you about.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Morning.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00Prairie dogs like to live in big grassy areas called prairies.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Oh, look at this one go. He's fast, isn't he?

0:07:03 > 0:07:07That's where "prairie" in their name is from.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11"Dogs" is because they sound like a dog when they bark.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14And they have small little tails that wag.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Enjoy your meal.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19RADIO CRACKLES

0:07:19 > 0:07:22I'm doing something wrong here.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25All I can find are Spanish stations.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27SPANISH SONG

0:07:27 > 0:07:33Well, if Andy can learn about a new language, so can I. Ole!

0:07:33 > 0:07:38Look at this prairie dog. She's doing what prairie dogs do best.

0:07:38 > 0:07:43She's digging a tunnel or a burrow so she can live in it.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50Look at her. She's a speedy digger. She needs to be.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Because a prairie dog's burrow...

0:07:54 > 0:07:57can be about 30 metres long.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Which is about the same size as three buses.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Right, Mrs Prairie Dog?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Another one with her mouth full.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09There must be a noisy prairie dog around here somewhere.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Come on, let's go and find one.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14See you.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19Oh, what is going on? She's got her mouth full too.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22She's been collecting grass to make a bed.

0:08:22 > 0:08:28Maybe when she drops the grass in the burrow she'll make a noise. Yes!

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Hang on, wait for me! Quick!

0:08:35 > 0:08:41I think she may have gone in here. But I can't see her anywhere.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Oh, but I can see a fox.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Look. There's a fox over there. Tell everyone!

0:08:51 > 0:08:54SQUEAKS

0:08:54 > 0:08:57This is what I wanted you to hear.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01The prairie dogs are warning the others about the fox.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04They're making a particular sound. Listen.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06It tells everyone the foxes are around.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08LOWER-PITCHED SQUEAKS

0:09:08 > 0:09:12Hang on. Can you hear that? It's a different sound.

0:09:14 > 0:09:20Look. This sound tells everyone that there's a badger around. Incredible!

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Quick, everyone, hide! Hide!

0:09:28 > 0:09:31I'd better hide too.

0:09:37 > 0:09:42Oh-ho! Look, I'm in the prairie dogs' burrow. This is fantastic.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46We should be safe because the badgers and foxes can't fit.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Right, let's go and find some more prairie dogs.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Oh, look, it's a whole family.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01They must have come deep into the burrow to escape danger.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03SQUEAKS

0:10:03 > 0:10:07What's that? Come on, let's go and take a look.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10SQUEAKS

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Can you hear that?

0:10:15 > 0:10:19The prairie dogs are making more calls but...

0:10:19 > 0:10:24but they're not warning the others about the badgers or the foxes.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28No, this is another animal. I'll go check it out.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Whoa!

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Wow, look, it's a hawk.

0:10:37 > 0:10:42They're beautiful birds but if this hawk sits out here,

0:10:42 > 0:10:44the prairie dogs will never come out.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Hang on a minute. I've got a great idea.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54Kip's Awesome Alarm Alert. That should help.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59ALARM BLARES

0:11:03 > 0:11:07Oh, look, it worked. Fantastic.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11I'm going to see if the other animals are out there. Come on.

0:11:17 > 0:11:22Oh, yes, it's all clear. Come on, guys, up you come.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Ah! Oh, look at them all.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30That's it. Come on, let's celebrate. Whoo-hoo!

0:11:32 > 0:11:33Oh!

0:11:35 > 0:11:37It's all right, I'm OK.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40No, I think I'm going to need some help.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Kip? Kip, are you there?

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Kip?

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Kip!

0:11:47 > 0:11:54Todo esta bien, Andy! I mean, it's all right, Andy, I'm coming.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58- See you later, prairie dogs. - Andy upload.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Enjoy your celebration.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09- GUITAR TWANGS - Oh.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13- Nice landing, Andy. - Huh? Thanks, Kip.

0:12:13 > 0:12:18- Did you hear the prairie dogs making their calls?- I certainly did.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21And your Awesome Alarm Alert worked a treat.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23- ALARM BLARES - Oh!

0:12:23 > 0:12:30- In that case, let's head home! - What?- I said, let's head home!- OK.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59'Come in, Andy. Are you receiving? Over.'

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Uh-oh. That'll be the boss, Mr Pickles.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06He'll be after that grass.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10Hello. Andy here, receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14'Any luck with getting that grass I asked for, Andy?'

0:13:14 > 0:13:19'The guinea pigs are looking a little hungry. Over.'

0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Um, I'm on the case but... - In your pocket.- What?

0:13:23 > 0:13:27- There.- 'Can you hear me? Andy.

0:13:27 > 0:13:32- 'Andy, are you there?'- In fact, sir, I've got some grass right here.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34And I just need to get some more,

0:13:34 > 0:13:37then I'm straight over. Over.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41'Oh, smashing, Andy. I can always rely on you. Pickles out.'

0:13:41 > 0:13:45Well done, Kip. See you next time.
