0:00:270:00:34

Hi, I'm Andy. I work as a park keeper at Pickles' Animal Park.

0:00:340:00:38

My job is to look after animals. Like these.

0:00:380:00:41

They're hissing cockroaches.

0:00:410:00:44

I have old bark for them to crawl under

0:00:440:00:47

because they love nothing more than some bark.

0:00:470:00:50

How's that, Harry?

0:00:500:00:53

Hiss! I like the bark.

0:00:530:00:55

They're called hissing cockroaches

0:00:550:00:58

because to communicate with other animals

0:00:580:01:01

they hiss to tell them they're not to be touched.

0:01:010:01:05

-How's that?

-That's right.

0:01:050:01:07

And my favourite subject at school was Hiss-tory!

0:01:070:01:10

-'Andy, come in. Over.'

-Oh, that'll be Mr Pickles, the boss.

0:01:100:01:15

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

0:01:160:01:21

'I was wondering if you could do me a favour.

0:01:210:01:25

'The guinea pigs are running out of grass to eat.

0:01:250:01:28

'Could you bring some? Over.'

0:01:280:01:31

No problem, sir. I'll get straight to it after my tea break. Over.

0:01:310:01:36

'Thanks. Pickles out.'

0:01:360:01:38

I'll put you back. Time for me to get back to work.

0:01:380:01:41

He's always on a tea break!

0:01:410:01:43

-Hello, Kip.

-Oh, hi, Andy.

0:01:540:01:56

ALARM BLARES

0:01:560:01:58

Argh! What's that? Turn it off quick. What is it?

0:01:580:02:01

ALARM OFF

0:02:010:02:03

Sorry, I was just trying out my new Awesome Alarm Alert.

0:02:030:02:07

What's it for? Why do you have my gizmo?

0:02:070:02:10

It's for scaring birds when they eat the seeds in my vegetable patch.

0:02:100:02:16

Good idea. It doesn't hurt the birds?

0:02:160:02:18

-No, not even a teeny bit.

-Good.

-It just gives them a start, that's all.

0:02:180:02:25

-ALARM BLARES

-Argh! Kip! Kip, turn it off!

0:02:250:02:30

ALARM OFF Sorry. I should test it outside.

0:02:300:02:34

Yes, that's a good idea, Kip.

0:02:340:02:36

-What have you been up to?

-I've been to see Harry, the hissing cockroach.

0:02:360:02:41

-Hissing cockroach?

-They make hissing sounds

0:02:410:02:45

by blowing air through holes along their body. Amazing!

0:02:450:02:49

-Hmm, I guess.

-What do you mean, you guess?

0:02:490:02:52

It's only making one type of noise, isn't it?

0:02:520:02:56

-Cats can hiss AND make other sounds.

-Yes, they can, Kip.

0:02:560:03:00

-Cats can...

-HE HISSES, PURRS AND MIAOWS

0:03:000:03:03

-Ha-ha!

-But one animal can make lots of different sounds.

0:03:030:03:08

-Really?

-There's this cute creature called a prairie dog.

0:03:080:03:12

They have a different sound for every animal they see.

0:03:120:03:16

Wow! I'd love to see them.

0:03:160:03:18

-Know what this sounds like?

-BOTH: Time to go on a wild adventure!

0:03:180:03:23

We'll get to hear sounds from the prairie dogs.

0:03:230:03:26

And we can test my Awesome Alarm Alert.

0:03:260:03:28

-What are we waiting for? Come on!

-Yeah.

0:03:280:03:31

-One. Gadget pack.

-Check!

0:03:330:03:36

-Two. Gizmo with my new Awesome Alarm Alert.

-Check!

0:03:360:03:41

-And last but not least, the Kipmobile!

-Seat belts on.

0:03:430:03:48

Hit it, Kip!

0:03:500:03:52

Lift off!

0:04:260:04:28

-A-ha!

-Whoo-hoo! We're in space!

0:04:340:04:38

-So, where to, Andy?

-The grassy plains of North America.

0:04:380:04:42

That's where we'll find our prairie dogs.

0:04:420:04:45

North America, here we come. Go, cat nav, go!

0:04:450:04:50

Whoo-ho-ho!

0:04:510:04:53

CLASSICAL GUITAR MUSIC

0:04:530:04:55

This is the life. Flying high up here, listening to music.

0:04:580:05:02

RADIO CRACKLES

0:05:020:05:05

Oh, that's strange, there's something wrong with the radio.

0:05:050:05:11

-Don't worry. We should be there any moment.

-Yeah.

0:05:110:05:14

So where exactly do these prairie dogs live, Andy?

0:05:140:05:18

-I can't see any.

-They live in holes or underground burrows, Kip.

0:05:180:05:23

Oh, hang on. I think we're here. Come on. Let's land.

0:05:230:05:29

HAWK SCREECHES

0:05:310:05:32

-Perfect landing, Kip.

-Oh, thanks, Andy.

0:05:370:05:41

Oh, look, it's a hawk's nest.

0:05:420:05:45

Oh, yeah.

0:05:450:05:48

And there are chicks in the nest.

0:05:480:05:51

-Which means that the mum is out hunting.

-Hunting?

0:05:510:05:54

Er, you know what, I think I might stay here in the Kipmobile and...

0:05:540:05:59

And, um...

0:05:590:06:01

RADIO CRACKLES ..fix the radio.

0:06:010:06:04

-Now, you just be careful.

-All right, I will. I'll see you soon.

0:06:050:06:10

You wouldn't expect to see a town all the way out here, would you?

0:06:150:06:20

But that's what this is. A town of prairie dogs.

0:06:200:06:24

That's what it's called when a group of prairie dogs live together.

0:06:240:06:29

Ah, this is great.

0:06:290:06:32

What I want to do is get close to them so I can fit right in.

0:06:320:06:36

There's only one thing for it.

0:06:360:06:38

Size of a prairie dog.

0:06:380:06:41

Perfect. Let's see if we can hear those calls I was telling you about.

0:06:470:06:53

Morning.

0:06:530:06:55

Prairie dogs like to live in big grassy areas called prairies.

0:06:550:07:00

Oh, look at this one go. He's fast, isn't he?

0:07:000:07:03

That's where "prairie" in their name is from.

0:07:030:07:07

"Dogs" is because they sound like a dog when they bark.

0:07:070:07:11

And they have small little tails that wag.

0:07:110:07:14

Enjoy your meal.

0:07:150:07:17

RADIO CRACKLES

0:07:170:07:19

I'm doing something wrong here.

0:07:190:07:22

All I can find are Spanish stations.

0:07:220:07:25

SPANISH SONG

0:07:250:07:27

Well, if Andy can learn about a new language, so can I. Ole!

0:07:270:07:33

Look at this prairie dog. She's doing what prairie dogs do best.

0:07:330:07:38

She's digging a tunnel or a burrow so she can live in it.

0:07:380:07:43

Look at her. She's a speedy digger. She needs to be.

0:07:460:07:50

Because a prairie dog's burrow...

0:07:500:07:54

can be about 30 metres long.

0:07:540:07:57

Which is about the same size as three buses.

0:07:570:08:00

Right, Mrs Prairie Dog?

0:08:000:08:02

Another one with her mouth full.

0:08:020:08:05

There must be a noisy prairie dog around here somewhere.

0:08:050:08:09

Come on, let's go and find one.

0:08:090:08:11

See you.

0:08:110:08:14

Oh, what is going on? She's got her mouth full too.

0:08:150:08:19

She's been collecting grass to make a bed.

0:08:190:08:22

Maybe when she drops the grass in the burrow she'll make a noise. Yes!

0:08:220:08:28

Hang on, wait for me! Quick!

0:08:280:08:31

I think she may have gone in here. But I can't see her anywhere.

0:08:350:08:41

Oh, but I can see a fox.

0:08:420:08:44

Look. There's a fox over there. Tell everyone!

0:08:470:08:51

SQUEAKS

0:08:510:08:54

This is what I wanted you to hear.

0:08:540:08:57

The prairie dogs are warning the others about the fox.

0:08:570:09:01

They're making a particular sound. Listen.

0:09:010:09:04

It tells everyone the foxes are around.

0:09:040:09:06

LOWER-PITCHED SQUEAKS

0:09:060:09:08

Hang on. Can you hear that? It's a different sound.

0:09:080:09:12

Look. This sound tells everyone that there's a badger around. Incredible!

0:09:140:09:20

Quick, everyone, hide! Hide!

0:09:220:09:25

I'd better hide too.

0:09:280:09:31

Oh-ho! Look, I'm in the prairie dogs' burrow. This is fantastic.

0:09:370:09:42

We should be safe because the badgers and foxes can't fit.

0:09:420:09:46

Right, let's go and find some more prairie dogs.

0:09:460:09:50

Oh, look, it's a whole family.

0:09:540:09:57

They must have come deep into the burrow to escape danger.

0:09:570:10:01

SQUEAKS

0:10:010:10:03

What's that? Come on, let's go and take a look.

0:10:030:10:07

SQUEAKS

0:10:070:10:10

Can you hear that?

0:10:140:10:15

The prairie dogs are making more calls but...

0:10:150:10:19

but they're not warning the others about the badgers or the foxes.

0:10:190:10:24

No, this is another animal. I'll go check it out.

0:10:240:10:28

Whoa!

0:10:310:10:34

Wow, look, it's a hawk.

0:10:340:10:37

They're beautiful birds but if this hawk sits out here,

0:10:370:10:42

the prairie dogs will never come out.

0:10:420:10:44

Hang on a minute. I've got a great idea.

0:10:470:10:50

Kip's Awesome Alarm Alert. That should help.

0:10:500:10:54

ALARM BLARES

0:10:570:10:59

Oh, look, it worked. Fantastic.

0:11:030:11:07

I'm going to see if the other animals are out there. Come on.

0:11:070:11:11

Oh, yes, it's all clear. Come on, guys, up you come.

0:11:170:11:22

Ah! Oh, look at them all.

0:11:220:11:25

That's it. Come on, let's celebrate. Whoo-hoo!

0:11:260:11:30

Oh!

0:11:320:11:33

It's all right, I'm OK.

0:11:350:11:37

No, I think I'm going to need some help.

0:11:370:11:40

Kip? Kip, are you there?

0:11:400:11:43

Kip?

0:11:430:11:45

Kip!

0:11:450:11:47

Todo esta bien, Andy! I mean, it's all right, Andy, I'm coming.

0:11:470:11:54

-See you later, prairie dogs.

-Andy upload.

0:11:540:11:58

Enjoy your celebration.

0:11:580:12:01

-GUITAR TWANGS

-Oh.

0:12:050:12:09

-Nice landing, Andy.

-Huh? Thanks, Kip.

0:12:090:12:13

-Did you hear the prairie dogs making their calls?

-I certainly did.

0:12:130:12:18

And your Awesome Alarm Alert worked a treat.

0:12:180:12:21

-ALARM BLARES

-Oh!

0:12:210:12:23

-In that case, let's head home!

-What?

-I said, let's head home!

-OK.

0:12:230:12:30

'Come in, Andy. Are you receiving? Over.'

0:12:550:12:59

Uh-oh. That'll be the boss, Mr Pickles.

0:12:590:13:02

He'll be after that grass.

0:13:040:13:06

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

0:13:060:13:10

'Any luck with getting that grass I asked for, Andy?'

0:13:100:13:14

'The guinea pigs are looking a little hungry. Over.'

0:13:140:13:19

-Um, I'm on the case but...

-In your pocket.

-What?

0:13:190:13:23

-There.

-'Can you hear me? Andy.

0:13:230:13:27

-'Andy, are you there?'

-In fact, sir, I've got some grass right here.

0:13:270:13:32

And I just need to get some more,

0:13:320:13:34

then I'm straight over. Over.

0:13:340:13:37

'Oh, smashing, Andy. I can always rely on you. Pickles out.'

0:13:370:13:41

Well done, Kip. See you next time.
