0:00:24 > 0:00:27# Yeah, you can come, too

0:00:27 > 0:00:29# It's Andy's wild adventures

0:00:29 > 0:00:34# Round the world! #

0:00:34 > 0:00:37I'm Andy, I work here at Pickle's Animal Park.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41It's my job to look after all the animals, like Anita.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Anita is a giant anteater.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47And that doesn't mean that she eats giant ants.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51It means that she's the largest type of anteater in the whole world.

0:00:51 > 0:00:56- Isn't that right? - Hmm, yes, I am, Andy.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59I'm over two metres long

0:00:59 > 0:01:02from the tip of my nose to the tip of my tail.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06That's not including your long tongue, though, is it?

0:01:06 > 0:01:09It's over half a metre long. Look at it! It's huge!

0:01:09 > 0:01:14Now, here at the animal park, she loves to eat avocados

0:01:14 > 0:01:19and yoghurt, but in the wild, anteaters eat ants and termites.

0:01:19 > 0:01:24Sometimes, they can eat up to 30,000 ants in a single day.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Now, that's ant-tastic! OK, see you, Anita.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32Hey, Andy, bring me back some ant fajitas!

0:01:32 > 0:01:36'Come in, Andy. Come in, over.'

0:01:36 > 0:01:40It's Mr Pickles, my boss. Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here, over.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43'Andy, is everything all right? Over.'

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Yes, sir. Everything is fine. Over.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48'Great. Then I wonder if you could do me a favour.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52'I was visiting the fruit bats and saw they were low on food.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56'Could you take some fruit over during your rounds?'

0:01:56 > 0:02:00No problem. I'm just popping to the workshop for a break.

0:02:00 > 0:02:05- I'll bring some straight over. Over. - 'Oh, thanks, Andy. Pickles out.'

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Fajitas!

0:02:18 > 0:02:20HE SIGHS

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Hi, Kip. Kip?

0:02:23 > 0:02:24- Kip?- Hi, Andy.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28That's funny, I can hear her, but I can't see her.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Boo!

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Oh, Kip! Hang on... How did you?

0:02:35 > 0:02:38This is my latest invention for your gizmo.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42You can blend into whatever background you find yourself in.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47I call it my instantly-invisible camouflage costume!

0:02:47 > 0:02:51I made it for you so you can get even closer to your animals

0:02:51 > 0:02:53on your wild adventures.

0:02:53 > 0:02:58Oh, thanks, Kip. But I'm not sure I'm going to fit into that.

0:02:58 > 0:03:04- Well, don't worry, I made one in your very own size.- Brilliant!

0:03:04 > 0:03:08- What have you been up to?- I've been feeding the giant anteater.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12Well, it's lucky my aunt's not here.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15No, not aunt - ant!

0:03:15 > 0:03:18An anteater has a long, sticky tongue

0:03:18 > 0:03:22that they stick into termite mounds and ant nests.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- They want the insects inside.- Really?!

0:03:25 > 0:03:30But the prize for the most amazing tongue in the world goes to...

0:03:30 > 0:03:31Drum roll, please!

0:03:31 > 0:03:36- The chameleon.- The chameleon!

0:03:36 > 0:03:41In the Green Mountains of Africa and in Madagascar, there are chameleons.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Their tongues are really fast.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46So fast that when they shoot out of their mouths,

0:03:46 > 0:03:51catch the insect and shoot back in, you can hardly see it move.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54A lizard that can grab things with the end of its tongue!

0:03:54 > 0:03:59- Wow, I'd love to see that, yeah! - You know what this sounds like, Kip?

0:03:59 > 0:04:02BOTH: It's time to go on a wild adventure!

0:04:02 > 0:04:06Chameleons catching insects with their tongue!

0:04:06 > 0:04:10We can test my camouflage costume!

0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Well, in that case, let's do it!- Yeah!

0:04:14 > 0:04:18- One, gadget pack.- Check!

0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Two, gizmo.- Check!

0:04:22 > 0:04:28- Three, my instantly-invisible camouflage costume.- Check!

0:04:28 > 0:04:33Just in case we need it. And last but not least, the Kipmobile!

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Seatbelts on.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Hit it, Kip.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Lift-off!

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Wow, we're in space!

0:05:24 > 0:05:29- So, where to, Andy? - Tanzania in East Africa, Kip.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33Then Tanzania it is. Go, cat-nav, go!

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Whoa!

0:05:41 > 0:05:45So, what kinds of places do chameleons live in, Andy?

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Well, some of them live on the ground,

0:05:47 > 0:05:51but most live in bushes and trees, like the ones down there.

0:05:51 > 0:05:57Great, I'm going to land over there, Andy.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Come on, let's land.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Right, let's go.

0:06:06 > 0:06:11Just as a matter of interest, Andy, how big are the chameleons?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Well, that depends, Kip.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18The smallest are about the size of a fingernail,

0:06:18 > 0:06:22- which is that size. - Oh, wow! They're tiny!

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- And the biggest?- Ah, the biggest?

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Well, that would be the Malagasy giant chameleons,

0:06:29 > 0:06:33and they can grow to about that size.

0:06:33 > 0:06:38Giant chameleons... Um, you know what?

0:06:38 > 0:06:42I think I might just stay here with the Kipmobile.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46After all, there's no point in us both looking in the same place,

0:06:46 > 0:06:48is there?

0:06:48 > 0:06:53- I guess not.- So, you go ahead and I'll keep an eye from here.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56- OK, Kip, I'll see you soon. - But Andy...

0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Yes?- Be careful.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02I always am, Kip.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Well, I've been walking for miles and miles

0:07:14 > 0:07:19and I still haven't found a single chameleon, which is weird.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21I know that lots of them live here.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Saying that, they are the master of disguise,

0:07:25 > 0:07:28so it does make it very difficult for me to spot them.

0:07:28 > 0:07:33Oh, but what I have found is a fig tree.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37Yes! I'm going to take a fig back for the fruit bats.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41That will please Mr Pickles.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Ah, yes! Perfect!

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Now to go and find those colour-changing chameleons.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01They have to be around here somewhere.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Hi, Andy.- 'Hi, Kip.'

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Is everything all right?

0:08:07 > 0:08:12I've climbed up this hill and I still haven't found any chameleons.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15'They're really good at changing colour

0:08:15 > 0:08:19'and blending right into the background, so as not to be seen.'

0:08:19 > 0:08:24- Why don't you do the same? - What do you mean?

0:08:24 > 0:08:31Use my instantly-invisible camouflage costume. And your gizmo!

0:08:31 > 0:08:35So you can easily blend into the colours around you.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38That way, they won't see you coming.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41'Brilliant idea, I'll do that right now!'

0:08:43 > 0:08:47Yes! Colours of the forest.

0:08:47 > 0:08:48Here goes.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Hey, it's worked!

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Perfect! Kip is a genius!

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Come on!

0:09:06 > 0:09:10Chameleons, come out, come out, wherever you are.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Hello? Where are you?

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Maybe they're out there. Kip, are you there?

0:09:24 > 0:09:28'I can't find any chameleons on the ground.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32'I'll look up in the treetops. Could you pick me up, please?'

0:09:32 > 0:09:34OK, Andy. On my way.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Andy upload!

0:09:41 > 0:09:45Oh, thanks, Kip. Now it's time for me to get smaller

0:09:45 > 0:09:48so I can get up close with the chameleons.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Size of a chameleon.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56OK, Kip. Get me down here, close to this branch.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59- OK, Andy.- Here goes!

0:09:59 > 0:10:02See you soon, Kip!

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Have fun!

0:10:06 > 0:10:08That's better.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Right, now, I've got to be careful,

0:10:11 > 0:10:17but this should be the perfect place to find hungry Jackson's chameleons.

0:10:17 > 0:10:23Oh, look, here's one coming right now.

0:10:23 > 0:10:28You can tell he's male because of his incredible horns.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37But what's even more amazing than his horns are his eyes.

0:10:37 > 0:10:43Unlike us, all chameleons can look in two different directions at once.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44Let me try that.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48No!

0:10:48 > 0:10:52That way, one eye can be kept on the insect for the food

0:10:52 > 0:10:54and the other eye can be kept on

0:10:54 > 0:10:57anything trying to sneak up on him from behind.

0:10:57 > 0:11:02Hang on a minute - I think he might have spotted some food now,

0:11:02 > 0:11:04but his eyes are looking everywhere.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08I can't really tell which direction he's looking.

0:11:08 > 0:11:13Ah, yes, he's looking at that insect on that branch.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Time for lunch!

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Right, I'm going to try to film this on the gizmo,

0:11:18 > 0:11:22because their tongues move so fast and they're so difficult to see,

0:11:22 > 0:11:26we can watch it back on the gizmo in slow motion.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29First, he gets both eyes lined up on it,

0:11:29 > 0:11:33and then, he works out how far away it is,

0:11:33 > 0:11:38and then it spring loads its sticky tongue until...

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Wow!

0:11:41 > 0:11:46Well done, well done, good show! Now, let's see that in slow motion.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50The tongue shoots out, grabs the insect.

0:11:50 > 0:11:55Look at that! Tongue-tastic! And a tasty meal too.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02Uh-oh, you really do have to have eyes that look everywhere.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04This one's coming after me!

0:12:04 > 0:12:07It's all right.

0:12:07 > 0:12:08- Kip!- I'm coming, Andy.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Kip!

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Andy upload!

0:12:12 > 0:12:15See you soon, chameleons.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Take care.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22Perfect timing, Kip. As always.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26Oh, and your instantly-invisible camouflage costume was a lifesaver.

0:12:26 > 0:12:31Any time, Andy. Come on, let's head home.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58'Come in, Andy. Andy, are you receiving, over?'

0:12:58 > 0:13:02Oh, that will be the boss. Hello, Mr Pickles.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Andy here, receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07'Is everything all right, Andy?

0:13:07 > 0:13:11'Have you got some fruit for the fruit bats?'

0:13:11 > 0:13:16Yes, sir, everything is fine, I've just been getting some...

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Um, I've just been getting some...

0:13:18 > 0:13:24I've just been getting some...figs for the bats. Over.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28'Oh, well done, Andy, that's marvellous. Pickles out.'

0:13:28 > 0:13:32- I hope they like them squishy. - Yes, me too!

0:13:32 > 0:13:34- See you next time.- Bye!
