0:00:34 > 0:00:38Hello, I'm Andy, and I work here at Pickles Animal Park,

0:00:38 > 0:00:40it's my job to look after all the animals.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Like, Alan, the armadillo, here.

0:00:42 > 0:00:48Oh, oh, I'm so excited to go in to my new tunnel, Andy.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51I've put a new tunnel down for Alan to play in.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53- Are you ready, Alan? - Oh, oh, here we go!

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Oh, brilliant.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Now, Alan doesn't live on his own here,

0:00:58 > 0:01:00he shares his house with these guys,

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Iggy the iguana and all of his friends.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06You all right, guys?

0:01:06 > 0:01:10Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm just waiting for the food.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14I've got you some grated carrot, some fresh dandelions

0:01:14 > 0:01:17and a mixture of leaves, your favourite.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18There we go.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21'Come in, Andy,

0:01:21 > 0:01:24'Andy, are you there? Over.'

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Hello, Mr Pickles, Andy here, over.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29'I was walking through the butterfly house,

0:01:29 > 0:01:33'and I noticed that they're running low on flowers,

0:01:33 > 0:01:36'without flowers they've got no nectar to drink,

0:01:36 > 0:01:39'could you collect some on your way over? Over.'

0:01:39 > 0:01:42No problem, I'm going to pop off to the work shop,

0:01:42 > 0:01:44I'm going to have my tea break,

0:01:44 > 0:01:47then I'll bring them straight over. Over.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49'Thanks, Andy, Pickles out.'

0:01:49 > 0:01:54Sorry, guys, I've got work to do. Enjoy your food, I'll see you later.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56I've had mine, time for a DVD.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Hello, Kip.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Oh, hello, Andy.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18That looks fun, what's that you're making, Kip?

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Oh, this is my latest invention.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24It's my super whiffer scratch and sniffer.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27You just scratch away any of the pictures like, um,

0:02:27 > 0:02:32that one with the pink custard on it, and breathe in.

0:02:35 > 0:02:36Aah.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Pink custard, ha ha.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42And it blocks out the smell of nasty pongs.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45That's brilliant, Kip.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Hang on, nasty pongs, like what?

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Your smelly socks, for example.

0:02:51 > 0:02:52Urgh.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57What have you been doing?

0:02:57 > 0:03:01I've been to Alan the armadillo's enclosure

0:03:01 > 0:03:03to feed him and Iggy the iguana.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06An armadillo and an iguana in the same enclosure?

0:03:06 > 0:03:11- Yeah, iguanas are herbivores, which means they only eat plants.- Oh.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15Armadillos love eating insects, so they can live alongside each other.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19I didn't realise that different animals live together.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Plenty of animals live together quite happily in the park.

0:03:23 > 0:03:29You've got giraffes and zebras, iguanas and armadillos, me and you.

0:03:29 > 0:03:34In the wild, there are some animals that not only live together,

0:03:34 > 0:03:37- but they help each other too. - Really?

0:03:37 > 0:03:39In the magical islands of the Galapagos,

0:03:39 > 0:03:44there is this beautiful bird that has a wonderful relationship

0:03:44 > 0:03:47with one of the oldest living animals on earth.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Oh! I know this one.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Oh, Mr Pickles!

0:03:51 > 0:03:52No, not Mr Pickles,

0:03:52 > 0:03:56the animal I'm thinking of is a giant tortoise,

0:03:56 > 0:04:00and it can live to be over 150 years old.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Wow, that is old.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05And when he needs a clean, he doesn't do it himself.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09He gets his friend, the finch, to clean him instead.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Birds cleaning tortoises?

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Oh, I'd love to see that.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16You know what this sounds like, don't you?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18BOTH: It's time to go on a wild adventure.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21We get to see finches cleaning tortoises.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24We can try my super whiffer scratch and sniffer!

0:04:24 > 0:04:28- What are we waiting for? Let's do it!- Yeah!

0:04:31 > 0:04:33- One gadget pack.- Check.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37- Two, gizmo.- Check.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Three, my super whiffer scratch and sniffer.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Check.- Just in case we need it.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46And last but not least, the Kipmobile!

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Seatbelts on.

0:05:26 > 0:05:27Lift off!

0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Ha ha!- Woo hoo hoo!- Wehay!

0:05:36 > 0:05:38We're in space!

0:05:38 > 0:05:40So, where to, Andy?

0:05:40 > 0:05:43The Galapagos islands, off the coast of South America,

0:05:43 > 0:05:46that is where we'll find out giant tortoises.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Then Galapagos, here we come.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Go, cat nav, go! Yeah!

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Woa-ooooh!

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Aha, I think that's what we're looking for.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Kip, can you get these tracks up on the cat nav?

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Sure, Andy.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Yes, that's it,

0:06:14 > 0:06:18tortoise trails made over thousands of years.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Come on, let's land.- Aah.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Perfect.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33Now let's go and find those giant tortoises.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Um, did you just say giant tortoises?

0:06:35 > 0:06:40That's right, the Galapagos has the biggest tortoises in the world.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42You should see them, they're huge.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Uh, actually, do you know what,

0:06:45 > 0:06:48I might just stay here with the Kipmobile.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52After all, if one of these volcanoes does blow up,

0:06:52 > 0:06:55I should be able to come and rescue you.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Good idea, I guess.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02Yeah, but you go ahead and find the giant tortoises

0:07:02 > 0:07:03and the finches,

0:07:03 > 0:07:07oh, but, Andy, be careful.

0:07:14 > 0:07:15Ah.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20Oh.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24Well, I followed the old trails that the tortoises use,

0:07:24 > 0:07:29but I can't understand it, I can't see any giant tortoises anywhere.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31I think I'm going to rest for a second.

0:07:31 > 0:07:32Ah, this'll do.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Ah.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Oh!

0:07:39 > 0:07:43Oh, oh, oh! I'm so sorry!

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Now, this is what you call a giant tortoise.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Wow, look at the size of him.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Come on, let's follow him.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04There are loads of tortoises here.

0:08:04 > 0:08:05Hmm, but not much grass.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10And no finches either.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Urgh.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Andy, is everything all right?

0:08:16 > 0:08:17I'd love to look around,

0:08:17 > 0:08:21but the gases coming from underground

0:08:21 > 0:08:24makes it smell like rotten eggs, oof.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Why don't you try my super whiffer scratch and sniffer,

0:08:27 > 0:08:29that should cut out the smell.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Good idea, Kip, nice one.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Uh, aah.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42OK, so, I choose something I like the smell of,

0:08:42 > 0:08:44ooh, strawberries, scratch it.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Ah, strawberries,

0:08:49 > 0:08:51oh, they smell delicious.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52That's much better.

0:08:52 > 0:08:58Now, all I have to do is do something about this heat.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01But that's just the way these tortoises like it.

0:09:01 > 0:09:02Oh, chocolate.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Aah.

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Ahem, anyway,

0:09:08 > 0:09:13these guys are cold blooded, to warm themselves up they've come here.

0:09:13 > 0:09:18Ooh, where there's hot volcanic rock and lots of steam.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Remember, what I really want to show you

0:09:21 > 0:09:23are tortoises being cleaned by finches.

0:09:23 > 0:09:28For that, we need to find somewhere with a bit more vegetation.

0:09:28 > 0:09:29Um.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33Aha.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Ooh.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Like down there, perhaps.

0:09:45 > 0:09:50Just so I don't scare the birds, size of a Galapagos finch.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Here goes.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Right, let's see where he takes us.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Um...

0:10:08 > 0:10:12Oh, would you look at that view.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Onward, my good man, sorry, tortoise.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17Forward we go.

0:10:18 > 0:10:23Ah, I definitely recommend travelling by shell.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26This is exactly what I was hoping for.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Lots of lovely tortoises

0:10:28 > 0:10:32and lots of lovely, green grass for them to eat.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39Oh, look, there's a finch now!

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Woah, ooh, eee!

0:10:42 > 0:10:47Now it's time to show you how the finches help the tortoises.

0:10:47 > 0:10:53First, he stands in front of the tortoise to attract his attention.

0:10:53 > 0:10:59Then, when the tortoise is ready, he lifts himself up.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Come on, that's it.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06And waits for the finch to get rid of all his bugs.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Now everyone's a winner, the finch gets a meal

0:11:09 > 0:11:11and the tortoise has a good clean.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Look at that!

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Hey, how does that feel? Oh, oh.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Well done, finches.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24Hang on a minute, I've seen something underneath that tortoise

0:11:24 > 0:11:28that's going to come in very handy.

0:11:30 > 0:11:35It's a flower, ah, this will be perfect for the butterfly house.

0:11:35 > 0:11:41I'll see if I can grab it without disturbing the tortoise.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Oh!

0:11:46 > 0:11:47Ah.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50Ha, I did it.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Uh oh, Kip!

0:11:56 > 0:11:59It's all right, Andy, I'm here.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01I knew I could count on you.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Andy upload.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Ah.- Nice landing, Andy.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Thanks, Kip, perfect timing, by the way,

0:12:14 > 0:12:16I thought I was going to be there for days.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19Oh, not with me around, come on, let's head home.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23See you later, tortoises.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51'Come in, Andy.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55'Hello, Andy, are you receiving? Over.'

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Uh oh, that'll be the boss.

0:12:58 > 0:13:03Hello, Mr Pickles, Andy here, receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07'How did you get on picking those flowers for the butterfly house?

0:13:07 > 0:13:09'I don't want our butterflies to run out

0:13:09 > 0:13:12'of delicious nectar to drink. Over.'

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Andy, it's behind your ear.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17No, your other ear.

0:13:17 > 0:13:18'Any luck?'

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Yes, I've already started picking the flowers,

0:13:22 > 0:13:24I just need a few more. Over.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27'Oh, excellent start, Pickles out.'

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Thanks, Kip.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32See you next time for another wild adventure.

0:13:32 > 0:13:33Bye!
