Oh, Marvin! Marvin!

-What?

-Off the car, please! Andy's here.

Oh, that's SO unfair!

All right there, guys?

Hello. I'm Andy, and I work here, at Pickles' Animal Park.

It's my job to look after the animals and make sure

they get everything they need to eat.

Like these rhesus macaques.

They're monkeys, and I'm just about to feed them.

Only, they're not always interested in what I have to offer them.

-Take a look.

-Listen up now, class.

Now, to take the windscreen wiper off... Who threw that?

They'll pretty much sink their teeth into most things,

car aerials and even windscreen wipers.

And it's not very healthy for them,

so I give them healthy foods, like apples, oranges, nuts and even...

dog biscuits!

I know it sounds strange,

but dog biscuits are really good for their teeth.

Right, you OK there, guys?

Here we go! Sink your teeth into these.

Here! Move out my way!

You must be barking!

'Come in, Andy. Andy?

'Come in. Over.'

Excuse me, guys. That'll be the boss.

Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here. Over.

'I was doing my rounds and knocked over the food for the sea otters.

'Do you think you can bring some fresh shellfish for them? Over.'

No problem, sir.

I'll pop off to the workshop and get straight to it. Over.

'Thanks, Andy. Pickles out.'

OK, guys. See you later!

It's a dog-eat-dog world, you know.

-Hello, Kip!

-Oh! Hi, Andy!

What's this you're making? Looks like some kind of flying saucer.

Oh, it isn't a flying saucer, Andy.

It's my perfectly portable pressure cooker.

-If you lift up the lid...

-Right.

-You put the food in there...

-OK.

And then you close the lid, press the button, it cooks the food,

and before you know it, you've got a delicious meal.

-Cool!

-It's the perfect fast food.

-Can we try it?

I could do with some food at the moment.

We need to go food shopping.

There isn't anything to put in it just yet.

All right. We'll try it later.

So, what have you been up to?

This morning, I've been feeding the rhesus monkeys.

-Lots of monkey nuts, then?

-Sometimes.

But they also eat fruit and even dog biscuits.

DOG biscuits?!

But surely they wouldn't find dog biscuits in the wild?

No, Kip! Not in the wild!

No, monkeys eat lots of different things in the wild.

Rhesus monkeys, well, they eat leaves and roots.

Marmosets eat spiders and lizards.

In fact, there's even one type of monkey that eats mussels.

Oh! You mean muscles like mine?

GROWLS AND GROANS

Erm... Not quite like those.

The mussels I'm talking about are the ones that you find on a beach

and they're inside a shell.

Oh! THOSE kind of mussels!

-Oh, I LOVE them!

-Yeah, so do I.

In Africa, there's a group of monkeys called Chacma baboons.

They live by the sea. And when the tide goes out,

they go over to the rocks and they search for the mussels.

When they find them, they open up the shells

and pop them into their mouths.

Oh, I'd love to see that!

Then you know what this sounds like, don't you, Kip?

-BOTH:

-It's time to go on a wild adventure!

-Let's do it!

-Let's do it! Yeah!

-One, gadget pack.

-Check.

Two, gizmo.

Check.

Three, my perfectly portable pressure cooker.

-Check.

-Just in case we need it.

And last but not least, the Kipmobile.

Seatbelts on!

Hit it, Kip!

Lift off!

Ahhh... Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Woo-hoo-hoo! We're in space!

So, where to, Andy?

Right at the bottom of Africa, Kip.

That's where we'll find our beachcombing Chacma baboons.

Then Africa it is! Go, CatNav! Go!

Woah!

Perfect landing, Kip. Now, let's go and find ourselves some baboons.

Ooh, I can't wait to see them eating mussels!

And looking for mermaid's purses.

-MERMAIDS purses?

-Yeah.

Don't worry. They're not really purses belonging to mermaids.

-Aren't they?

-It's a special pouch that protects a shark's egg.

Then, when the tide gets really low,

like it is now, the Chacma baboons come over to the water's edge

and then they search for the eggs to eat.

Now, if we're quick, we should be able to spot some.

Actually, you know what, Andy?

I think I might just stay with the Kipmobile. After all, if the...

Oh! If the tide turns, the Kipmobile might just float away. Yeah!

Kip, I don't think the water's going to come all the way up here.

Well, you never know, do you?

LAUGHS

-But be careful!

-Thanks, Kip. I will.

Where there are sharks' eggs, there are sharks!

And the last thing I want to see is a shark!

But a mermaid, that's different.

I wonder if there are any actually out there?

Mermaids! Where are you?

Woa-ho-ho!

These baboons are tucking in to a tasty shellfish dinner.

Inside these hard shells are little creatures called mussels.

Now, when the tide goes out,

you can find lots of mussels sticking to the rock.

They grow in clumps, too, to protect themselves

from the powerful waves that come crashing down.

But there's one thing that they can't protect themselves from...

These guys.

Baboons. They LOVE eating mussels.

With their powerful jaws and sharp teeth,

they find it easy to crack into the shell and eat the tasty food inside.

And baboons aren't the only ones who like eating mussels.

No. We do, too. Humans.

But we have two cook ours, which is a shame, really,

cos I'm really hungry.

Hang on a minute! I know! Oo-hoo!

Kip's perfectly portable pressure cooker! Of course!

This'll cook them in a jiffy.

Ahh!

Now to find me some mussels. Ah-ha!

WHISTLES

Hiya.

WHISTLES

Look at how many mussels I found on the beach!

There are thousands of mussels on the beach,

so I'm sure it'll be fine if I just take a few for my tea.

Yeah?

So, what I have to do, to use Kip's perfectly portable pressure cooker,

is to close it, press this button...

and then wait for it to go "ping".

Something missing here. Hang on.

Ah! That's better!

Don't worry. I've got something for you.

Oh! Sorry. I think your mates must have eaten them.

I'll leave them here.

And whilst I'm waiting for this to go "ping",

I'll go find some baboons eating sharks' eggs.

See ya!

Look! I found a mermaid's purse!

But not before the baboons have got to it.

Look, they've split it in two

and taken the shark's egg from inside.

You're a hungry fella.

Hi, Andy! How's it going? Is everything OK?

Everything's perfect, Kip.

'Now the tide is really low,

'the baboons are able to get to the sharks' eggs.

'The only thing is, they have to get them out the seaweed first. Look!'

They're full of protein, just like the eggs we eat.

Except these ones are bright pink inside.

Wow! That's an amazing colour!

'Ah! It's exactly what I wanted to see!'

PING!

Ooh! And not a moment too soon! I think my food's ready. See you, Kip!

Ohhh!

Oh, mermaids! Where are you?

SIGHS

No sign of anything at all.

Just an awful lot of baboons heading my way.

Eh, eh! No time for monkeying around!

I'd love to stay and play, guys, but I'm going to see what Andy's up to.

Engines, engage!

Lift off!

Great! My tea's ready. Mussels.

Thanks for taking care of them for me.

OK. Let's have a... Ohhh!

These look delicious!

Oo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

There are a lot of baboons coming my way.

I wonder what they're after.

Uh-oh! I know what they're after. My mussels!

And they've got very sharp teeth!

Erm...

-Kip?

-I'm on my way, Andy.

Kiiiiiip!

Ah, nice one, Kip! I can always count on you.

Andy, upload!

See you later, Chacma baboons! See you soon!

Thanks, Kip. Oh, and by the way,

your perfectly portable pressure cooker worked a treat.

Well, in that case, let's go home and cook up a feast.

There we are.

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

Uh-oh! That'll be Mr Pickles.

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

'Andy, what on earth have you been up to?'

Erm... Well, Mr Pickles...

I've just been getting some shellfish for the sea otters. Over.

'Oh marvellous, Andy! Excellent job! Pickles out.'

Oh, well done, Andy!

-Thanks, Kip. See you soon.

-Bye.
