0:00:27 > 0:00:29Little Big Cat!
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Hello! Or Jambo, as we say here.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Welcome to the wide, grassy plains of Africa
0:00:40 > 0:00:44and a very special place, called the Masai Mara.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49This is home to all of our Little Big Cats,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54and it's a land full of stories.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58All of the animals here love to make friends.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01The egret is making friends with the buffalo.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06What a great way to get a free piggy back!
0:01:06 > 0:01:11The stripy zebra is making friends with the antelopes.
0:01:12 > 0:01:18And the birds are making friends with the big, slimy hippo.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23The Little Big Cats like to make friends too.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27But which of our cubs will be making friends today?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Will it be the lazy lions?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34The speedy cheetahs?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Or the lonesome leopards?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44It's...oh! The cheetah cub, Moja!
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Jambo, Moja!
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Jambo!
0:01:48 > 0:01:53This is my family - Tatu, Mbile and Mama Muta.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56This mount is our favourite place to sit.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01It gives us a great view and we can see if any of our friends are out.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Oh, who's that?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Ahh, it's the ground-hornbills.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I thought it was them,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16cos they always look a bit strange when they're walking.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18They call themselves birds,
0:02:18 > 0:02:23but they seem to like walking rather than flying.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27He has a very long beak, and his face is all red.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Perhaps he's feeling hot with all that walking.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Hi, hornbill!
0:02:34 > 0:02:37We're going to start a game. Do you want to play?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Ohhh.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44He's too busy to stop. Never mind,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47maybe another time.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Bye, ground-hornbill!
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Oh, well. Let's keep looking for some other friends.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Oh, I think I see someone! Over there!
0:03:04 > 0:03:05This way!
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Look! It's the warthog family and their piglets!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I'm sure they'll play.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I love warthogs!
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Look at their funny little tails sticking up in the air!
0:03:20 > 0:03:24They're coming over to get some shade from the tree.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28SNORT! GRUNT!
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Jambo, warthogs!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Being a big, strong cheetah cub,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Moja should really find someone his own size to play with!
0:03:41 > 0:03:45The warthog could get hurt, and we don't want that to happen.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Oh! He's disappeared!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54He must be in one of those holes, having a rest.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Hmm, good idea, actually.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I think I could use a nap after all that chasing!
0:04:01 > 0:04:04So, while the cheetahs have a rest,
0:04:04 > 0:04:09let's see which of our other Little Big Cats are out making friends.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12It's Neema, the lion cub!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Jambo, Neema!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Jambo!
0:04:17 > 0:04:18What's that?!
0:04:20 > 0:04:22CREAK!
0:04:22 > 0:04:24It's making a strange noise.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Oh! I can see it!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31It's a mongoose! Hi there!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Do you want to play?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Where have you gone?!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Wait! Come back!
0:04:39 > 0:04:41We're over here!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Where?! I can't see you!
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Look behind you!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I can seeeee you!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Oh, Mama, I can't find them.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55They keep hiding.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Mongooses are too good at this game.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Yoo-hoo! Neema!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Peek-a-boo!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Oh, they're in the log!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Hee-hee-hee-hee!
0:05:10 > 0:05:11I'm coming to get you!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Ready or not!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16You can't catch us!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Oh yes I can!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21You won't catch me, Neema!
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Or me!
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Or me!
0:05:25 > 0:05:29And you definitely won't catch us!
0:05:30 > 0:05:35Oh, Mama, they've all gone.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I can't find them.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39It's not fair.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Mama, will you play with me instead?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Oh, come on!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Poor little Neema.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Let's go and see if Moja, the cheetah,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55has had more luck finding friends today.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Ahhh, Moja has spotted something in the distance.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05They're going to investigate.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I've not seen one of these before.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13It's huge! Maybe it's a type of elephant.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I don't see any trunk though.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18But it does have wheels.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Ha-ha! Maybe it's a wheelyphant, hee-hee-hee!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Wow, Mama's on top of the wheelyphant!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Come on, let's play!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I'm going to climb up its big, round ears.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Careful, they're a bit slippery.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Where's its mouth?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44It must have a mouth somewhere.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46And some eyes.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Or at least a tail!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Maybe it's hiding its face on the inside.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58ENGINE STARTS
0:06:58 > 0:07:00What's that noise?!
0:07:00 > 0:07:03The wheelyphant is snoring!
0:07:03 > 0:07:06It must be asleep.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Hmm. It's not much fun to play with if it's sleeping.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15I've got an idea!
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Let's play a game together instead.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Come on! You're "it"!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Can I go first?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Come on, guys, see if you can catch me.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I'm the fastest!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I am the fastest! Naa-na-na-na-nah!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Whose turn next?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Finally, Moja has found a fun game to play.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46And with his best friends of all...
0:07:46 > 0:07:48My brothers!
0:07:50 > 0:07:55We've met all sorts of new friends today.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59The ground-hornbills walking through the grass...
0:07:59 > 0:08:02the speedy little warthogs...
0:08:04 > 0:08:08..and the big, strange wheelyphant.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10But none of them wanted to play.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17It doesn't matter though, cos the best playmates of all
0:08:17 > 0:08:19are my brothers.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26So for now, it is time to say goodbye. Kwaheri,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29from the wide, grassy plains of Africa.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Goodbye, ground-hornbills.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Kwaheri, ground-hornbills.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- Goodbye, warthogs. - Kwaheri, warthogs!
0:08:41 > 0:08:47- Goodbye, mongooses. - Kwaheri, mongooses!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Goodbye, Neema.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Kwaheri, Neema!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56And goodbye, Moja!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Kwaheri!
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Africa is a land full of stories.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Whose story will we hear next time?
