0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hi there, I'm Andy the park keeper

0:00:39 > 0:00:42and I work here at Pickles Animal Park.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is Aggie, the agama lizard.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm talking quietly because she's quite shy.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50You all right in there?

0:00:50 > 0:00:51# I'm too shy, shy

0:00:51 > 0:00:54# Hush, hush, but I'm fine, Andy. #

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Oh, good.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00Now, agama lizards come from Africa where it's warm.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04They're cold-blooded so need to lie in the sun to keep warm.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06But here at the Animal Park,

0:01:06 > 0:01:10we use special heat lamps and I've just changed hers. How's that?

0:01:10 > 0:01:13# I can feel the heat tonight

0:01:13 > 0:01:16# And it feels real nice... #

0:01:16 > 0:01:17Oh, good.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Right, come on then, see you soon.

0:01:21 > 0:01:22HE WHISTLES

0:01:22 > 0:01:25'Come in, Andy. Andy, come in. Over.'

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Oh, that's Mr Pickles, my boss.

0:01:27 > 0:01:32Hello, Mr Pickles, Andy here, receiving you loud and clear. Over.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36'Hello, Andy, I was wondering if you could do me a favour.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38'I passed the penguins and the cooling system

0:01:38 > 0:01:41'in their enclosure's broken down.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44'D'you think you could find something to cool them?'

0:01:44 > 0:01:48No problem, I'll head to the workshop and find something. Over.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51'Oh, thanks, Andy. Pickles out.'

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Hello, Kip!

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Oh, hello, Andy!

0:02:08 > 0:02:11What are you doing down here then?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13I'm cleaning out the cupboards.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15I've been so busy with my inventions,

0:02:15 > 0:02:18I've hardly spent any time cleaning.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21But now, I have the perfect solution.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Ah, which is?

0:02:23 > 0:02:24This.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28My cool cat cupboard cleaner.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31You press the button, the fan turns

0:02:31 > 0:02:35and the dust and cobwebs get blown away in the breeze!

0:02:35 > 0:02:38- What? This little thing does all of that?- Uh-huh.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Let me have a go, all right.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44- So, you put it in here.- Yeah. - And you turn it on...

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Oh!

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Maybe next time you should use it the right way round.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00Yeah, good idea. At least we know it works, though!

0:03:00 > 0:03:02- So, what have you been up to? - This morning,

0:03:02 > 0:03:05I've been to see Aggie the agama.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08- I changed the bulbs on her heat lamps.- Agama?

0:03:08 > 0:03:10What's an agama?

0:03:10 > 0:03:14Agamas are coloured lizards and they live all over the world.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16You find them in the morning, in the sun.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20They do that to heat themselves up for the rest of the day.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23I know how it feels. There's nothing cats like more

0:03:23 > 0:03:27than curling up in the sun and having a catnap. Ah!

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Well, you're not the only one.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31- We aren't?- No.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Lots of animals love basking in the sun.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Tortoises, chameleons...- Humans!

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Humans, yes.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42In fact, in the rivers of Africa,

0:03:42 > 0:03:45there are great big hippos. They take time out

0:03:45 > 0:03:48to lay in the sun. And when they do,

0:03:48 > 0:03:51they wear their own suncream. It's amazing!

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Hippos, covering themselves in suncream?

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'd love to see that!

0:03:56 > 0:03:58You know what this sounds like?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00ALL: Time to go on a wild adventure!

0:04:00 > 0:04:03We get to see sunbathing hippos!

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Cos we'll get dusty in Africa, we can take my cupboard cleaner!

0:04:07 > 0:04:10What are we waiting for? Come on, let's do it!

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- One. Gadget pack.- Check.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Two. Gizmo.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19- Check.- Three.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22My cool cat cupboard cleaner.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Check.- Just in case we need it,

0:04:26 > 0:04:27and, last but not least,

0:04:27 > 0:04:29the Kipmobile!

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Seatbelts on.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Hit it, Kip!

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Lift off!

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Woo-hoo-hoo! We're in Space!

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha! Oh, so, where to, Andy?

0:05:24 > 0:05:27A country called Zambia, in Africa.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30That's where we'll find our huge sunbathing hippos.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Right on the banks of the Luangwa River.- Zambia, here we come!

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Go, cat nav, go!

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho!

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Oh, well, that's the Luangwa River below us, Andy. Ha-ha!

0:05:50 > 0:05:52I don't see any hippos yet.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55That's because we are over the shallow part.

0:05:55 > 0:06:00Hippos like deep water, so they can completely disappear into it.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Oh, look! There's some down there!

0:06:03 > 0:06:07Some?! Well, there are hundreds of them! And they're big too.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Big? They're HUGE!

0:06:09 > 0:06:12They can grow over four metres long.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17But that's twice as long as the Kipmobile.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19They can weight more than four tonnes,

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- which is almost the same as an elephant.- GULP!

0:06:22 > 0:06:27Just as a matter of interest, Andy, what exactly do they eat?

0:06:27 > 0:06:32Don't worry, they're vegetarians, which means they only eat plants.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Phew!

0:06:34 > 0:06:38But they're still the most dangerous animals in Africa.

0:06:38 > 0:06:39Gulp!

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Er, well, erm...

0:06:41 > 0:06:46maybe somewhere a little further away from the river would be best.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Come on then, Kip. Let's go.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Actually, you know what, Andy?

0:07:02 > 0:07:06I don't think I should leave the Kipmobile here -

0:07:06 > 0:07:09especially if those huge hippos are around.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12They might, erm...squash the Kipmobile.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16Oh, I didn't think of that. OK, well, you stay here then.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Be careful.- I will. See you soon.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28Well, I finally found my way back to the river.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31And look, there are hippos EVERYWHERE!

0:07:31 > 0:07:35Ah, look at them all relaxing in the water.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39They're trying to keep their skin out of the sun.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Wow, look at these guys.

0:07:43 > 0:07:48They're not relaxing, they're fighting for space in the water.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Phwoar, I told you they were huge!

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Especially this guy at the end, he's the biggest of them all.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59Anyone trying to wrestle with him is going to be in a lot of trouble.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Oh, here they go!

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Oh, would you look at the teeth on that!

0:08:05 > 0:08:06Oh, look...

0:08:06 > 0:08:08the small one's running off now.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Wow, look how fast he is.

0:08:16 > 0:08:21You wouldn't think it, hippos can run really fast. Faster than humans.

0:08:21 > 0:08:26I'd like to find hippos that are sunbathing, not fighting. Come on.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Now, the thing to remember about hippos

0:08:34 > 0:08:37is never come between them and water

0:08:37 > 0:08:41because water is where they feel safe.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Maybe I'll shrink down to the size of these birds.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46They're called oxpeckers.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50Yes, that's a good idea. Then I can get nice and close.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54Oxpeckers climb on hippos and they don't mind.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56That's what I'll do.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Size of an oxpecker.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Here I go!

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Perfect, now I can get really close

0:09:08 > 0:09:12and we'll see the hippos making their own suncream. Come on.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Hello, you enjoying your rest?

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Oh, how's this for getting close, eh?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Now I'm the size of an oxpecker

0:09:39 > 0:09:42I can move on the hippos without bothering them,

0:09:42 > 0:09:44just like they do.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Look at THIS! This is incredible!

0:09:58 > 0:10:02They're eating bugs off the hippos. It's a perfect partnership

0:10:02 > 0:10:06because they get some food and the hippos get a good clean!

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Ha-ha, you enjoying that?

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Oh, right.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Excuse me.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Whoa! Whoa!

0:10:16 > 0:10:20This is exactly what I wanted to show you!

0:10:20 > 0:10:22This is the suncream that the hippos make.

0:10:22 > 0:10:27It covers their whole body and it protects them from the sun -

0:10:27 > 0:10:29it's incredible, isn't it?

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Oh, that reminds me, actually. I'd better put some suncream on.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Get this off.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Right.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Ah! Huh? I'll have that for tea later.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Ah, here we go!

0:10:57 > 0:11:00'Andy, is everything all right?'

0:11:00 > 0:11:01Ah, hi, Kip.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05Me and the hippos have got sun cream on now but it's ROASTING!

0:11:05 > 0:11:08I wish there was a breeze to cool us down.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Then why don't you use my Cool Cat Cupboard Cleaner?

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Of course, great idea, Kip!

0:11:17 > 0:11:18Ha!

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Oh, hang on. I hope she's fixed it.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Remember what happened in the workshop? Here goes.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Ah, she has fixed it!

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Oh-ho-ho, that's better!

0:11:34 > 0:11:35Ooh!

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Oh, no!

0:11:37 > 0:11:41I don't think the hippos like the sound of the fan! Whoa!

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Whoa! Oh, no! Oi, hang on!

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Where are you going?! Wah!

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Wahhh! Wah-ha-ha!

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Oh! Wah, whoa!

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Ah, ahh!

0:11:53 > 0:11:54KIP!

0:11:54 > 0:11:57'Kip, can you come and get me, please?'

0:11:57 > 0:12:00It's all right, Andy, I'm coming!

0:12:00 > 0:12:04Whoa...ah! Nice one, Kip. I can always count on you.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Andy upload.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09See you later, hippos. Whey!

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Nice landing, Andy! So, what happened to you?

0:12:15 > 0:12:19You know how I said I always wanted to get close to a hippos?

0:12:19 > 0:12:24- Yeah?- I think I got a bit too close. - Oh, well, come on, then.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Get your seatbelt on and let's head home.- Good idea. Whoa!

0:12:51 > 0:12:54'Come in, Andy. 'Andy, are you receiving? Over.'

0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Uh-oh, that'll be the boss. - 'Andy, are you there?'

0:12:58 > 0:13:02Hello, Mr Pickles, Andy here, receiving you load and clear. Over.

0:13:02 > 0:13:03'Oh, hello, Andy.'

0:13:03 > 0:13:08'Any luck with finding something to cool the penguins down? Over.'

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Well, you see, sir, I've...

0:13:10 > 0:13:16You see, I've got something that'll REALLY cool them down. Over.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19'Well done, I can always count on you. Pickles out.'

0:13:19 > 0:13:21You don't mind do you, Kip?

0:13:21 > 0:13:25Oh, it's OK, Andy, I'll just have to make another one.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Thanks, Kip. See you next time!
