0:00:34 > 0:00:37Morning, Pauline, morning, Peter.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hello, I'm Andy and I work here at Pickles Animal Park

0:00:39 > 0:00:44Today I'm checking on a few of the animals' teeth.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48These guys are porcupines and they have huge teeth, as you can see.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Their teeth never stop growing

0:00:50 > 0:00:55which is why we feed them apples, carrots logs to chew on too.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59- Better than a trip to the dentist! - See you later.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Bye-bye, Andy.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Mmmm!

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Breakfast time!

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Now I'm checking the cheetahs' teeth, which are sharp

0:01:09 > 0:01:13and strong and need to be so they can tuck into their food.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Carl, Casey, come on! Get your breakfast!- We're coming!

0:01:17 > 0:01:22- OH, yeah, meat, our favourite! - Carl, save some for us!

0:01:22 > 0:01:23First come, first served!

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Right, how are they looking? Nice and healthy.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35- (MAN ON RADIO)- 'Come in, Andy, over.' - It's Mr Pickles, the boss.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here, over.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42'Andy, I was just visiting the ant enclosure

0:01:42 > 0:01:46and they could do with some more twigs and leaves to climb on.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49'Could you bring some over? Over.'

0:01:49 > 0:01:53No problem, sir. I'll bring them over after my tea break. Over.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57- 'Thanks, Andy. Pickles out.' - Right, back to the workshop.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00- See you guys!- Miaow!

0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Ah, hello, Kip.- Oh, hello, Andy.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Kip, what are you doing with those glasses?

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Ah, these are my latest invention.

0:02:20 > 0:02:25My super-special, see-in-the-dark glasses, so I can read in bed.

0:02:25 > 0:02:33- Let me show you. Turn off the lights, Andy.- Oh, OK, one moment.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38- That's it, Andy. - I've never been in here before.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45Andy! Past the generators.

0:02:50 > 0:02:51Keep going!

0:02:54 > 0:02:59- Which one is it? - The big red switch on the wall.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05With the lights off, these glasses can help me

0:03:05 > 0:03:08see what Andy's up to in the dark. Heh heh!

0:03:08 > 0:03:13- Put that biscuit back!- Sorry, Kip.

0:03:13 > 0:03:18- Now put the lights back on, please. - All right, then, one moment.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19(CRASH)

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Ohhh!

0:03:23 > 0:03:25There we go.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29(CHUCKLES)

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Well, Kip, those glasses are amazing. You are a genius.

0:03:35 > 0:03:40Oh, thank you! (GIGGLES)

0:03:40 > 0:03:42So what have you been up to?

0:03:42 > 0:03:46I've been checking that the animals' teeth are in good shape.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49There's no need to check mine. I brush them every day.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Lots of animals have fantastic teeth

0:03:52 > 0:03:56- that they use for all kinds of different things.- They do?

0:03:56 > 0:03:59In fact there's one animal, the American beaver,

0:03:59 > 0:04:03that builds its own house with its teeth and a swimming pool!

0:04:03 > 0:04:07An animal that uses its teeth to build a house and a swimming pool?

0:04:07 > 0:04:16- I'd love to see that!- Time to go on a Wild Adventure! Let's go!- Yeah!

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- One, gadget pack.- Check.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Two, gizmo.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24Check.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Three, my super-special see-in-the-dark glasses.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Check.- Just in case we need them.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34And last but not least, the Kipmobile!

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Seat belts on.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Hit it, Kip.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50MACHINERY CLANKS AND BUZZES

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Lift-off!

0:05:22 > 0:05:23(THEY LAUGH)

0:05:23 > 0:05:26We're in space!

0:05:26 > 0:05:30- So where to, Andy? - North America, Kip.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33The American beavers live right in the middle

0:05:33 > 0:05:34of Yellowstone National Park.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Yellowstone National Park, here we come!

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Go, CatNav, go!

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Whoooooo...!

0:05:48 > 0:05:53What are we looking for, Andy? Well, Kip, beavers love rivers. Oh!

0:05:53 > 0:05:56So the first thing we need to find is a river.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59How about that one?

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Well spotted, Kip! Come on, let's land.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Beavers' teeth are so sharp

0:06:09 > 0:06:13they can chew through wood and cut down trees.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14It's incredible!

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Er, yeah, amazing.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Actually, Andy,

0:06:19 > 0:06:23much as I'd like to see those beavers with their big tree-chopping teeth,

0:06:23 > 0:06:27I think I'll just stay here and look after the Kipmobile.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31After all, we don't want a tree to land on it.

0:06:31 > 0:06:36- Actually, that's a good point, Kip. All right.- And, Andy?- Yeah?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Be careful. - I always am, Kip.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42See you later.

0:06:42 > 0:06:48Now, just to see how strong MY teeth actually are, let's start with this.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Toffee!- (CHUCKLES)

0:06:58 > 0:07:03Oh, look! There's one over there. A fully-grown American beaver.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Right, I'm going to get closer

0:07:13 > 0:07:19Ah, he's chewing through the wood of this gigantic tree here.

0:07:19 > 0:07:25It's called a cottonwood tree. And he's making it look quite easy.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Beavers don't have to chew all the way through the tree,

0:07:28 > 0:07:30just about halfway.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Then the tree becomes wobbly and the weight of the tree does the rest.

0:07:36 > 0:07:42Oh, I think it's ready to come down. TIMBER!

0:07:46 > 0:07:47Ohhh!

0:07:50 > 0:07:53The main reason they chew down trees

0:07:53 > 0:07:56is to cut them into small bits to make their incredible dams.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Look at him beavering away!

0:08:01 > 0:08:06He's off! I wonder where he's going. Come on, let's follow him.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Well, I found the dam.

0:08:20 > 0:08:25And look, here comes the beaver pulling the branch along!

0:08:25 > 0:08:28It's a lot easier and faster for beavers to move in water

0:08:28 > 0:08:30than on land.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34You see, the dam causes the river to flood,

0:08:34 > 0:08:37which then forms a huge lake, called a beaver pond.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Beavers don't just build using branches,

0:08:40 > 0:08:46they also eat the branches, leaves and all, just like that one.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49That branch is so full of juicy leaves,

0:08:49 > 0:08:51I bet he's taking it back to his house.

0:08:51 > 0:08:56Or lodge, as it's called. There he goes.

0:08:56 > 0:09:01I'd love to see what their lodge looks like underwater.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Hang on a minute. I've got a great idea!

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Activate rocket pad, underwater mode.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12And size of a beaver.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Perfect. Now it's time to see the lodge.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Wow, I've made it to the beaver's lodge.

0:10:16 > 0:10:22Only thing is, I can't see a thing. It's really dark in here.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Beavers don't need to see in the dark.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28They have an incredible sense of smell and hearing.

0:10:28 > 0:10:33- But I need to see. - Maybe Kip can help. Kip?

0:10:33 > 0:10:38- 'Kip, are you there?'- Oh, hi, Andy.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Hello, Kip. I'm in the beaver's lodge.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45It's brilliant but I can't see a thing. Can you help?

0:10:45 > 0:10:49Why not try my super-special see-in-the-dark glasses?

0:10:49 > 0:10:53- They're certain to work.- Of course! Why didn't I think of that?

0:10:53 > 0:10:56I'll let you know how I get on. See you later.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Hopefully, these will work. See you in a moment.

0:11:04 > 0:11:09Wow, these are amazing! That's much better.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13Kip's super-special see-in-the-dark glasses work brilliantly!

0:11:14 > 0:11:17There's a beaver coming in now!

0:11:17 > 0:11:19She's brought a branch for her family.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Ahhh!

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Look, there's another one.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30She's coming towards me. What are you going to do with all that straw?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Ohhh!

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Right, I think it's time to go.

0:11:40 > 0:11:45Hang on a minute. My gadget pack's stuck. How am I going to get out?

0:11:45 > 0:11:50Oh, no! Kip? Kip, are you there?

0:11:50 > 0:11:53- 'Kip!'- All right, Andy, I'm coming!

0:11:53 > 0:11:57Nice one, Kip. I can always count on you.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Andy upload.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04See you later, beavers.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13- Perfect timing, Kip. - Well, that's what I'm here for.

0:12:13 > 0:12:19And these super-special see-in- the-dark glasses worked a treat!

0:12:19 > 0:12:23I'm glad to hear it, Andy. Come on, let's head home.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54'Come in, Andy. Andy, are you receiving?'

0:12:54 > 0:12:58Uh-oh, that'll be the boss.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here, receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:13:01 > 0:13:06'Is everything OK, Andy? I've been trying to get hold of you, over.'

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Yes, everything's fine.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- I've just been, um...- Straw! Your hair!

0:13:11 > 0:13:18I've just been getting some bits and bobs for the ants to climb on. Over.

0:13:18 > 0:13:24- 'Good work, Andy. I knew I could count on you.'- Well done, Andy.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Thanks, Kip. Better go and sort those ants out. See you next time.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29Bye!
