0:00:40 > 0:00:45Ooh. He-he-he. Oh. Hello, busy little ants.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Oh, hello, everyone. You're looking at me looking at ants.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52They're doing lots of interesting things.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Some of them are walking in lines.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Some of them are carrying food.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03And lots of them are going in and out of that hole in the ground.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Wow. I wonder why the ants are doing all those things?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hmm. When you need to know, go to Okido.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Cake.- Ha-ha. Yes.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25It's Mayor Oki's birthday.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27So, we're having a picnic.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Yippee. Well, what are we waiting for?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32WHISTLES
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Let's ski-doodle, Okidoodle!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Food, food, yummy, yummy food.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Socks and cake and sandwiches and cake and salad and cake.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Oh, let's not forget the cake.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51- Ha-ha.- Hello, everyone.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Now that you're here, we're just waiting for the mayor.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Once he's arrived, we can begin the birthday picnic.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59I can't wait.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Huh?- Huh?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Waa.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Isn't the food you've bought a little, erm, little?
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Yes, Messy.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14It was easier to carry this way
0:02:14 > 0:02:15but don't worry,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I've brought my new invention.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Ta-da!
0:02:19 > 0:02:23It's my hand-held shrinker-sizer.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27It can now make things smaller or bigger. Watch.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Wow.- Wow. Woohoo.
0:02:33 > 0:02:39Amazing. You just made all this small food normal-sized.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Exactly, Felix.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Ooh, I want to play with the shrinker-sizer buttons.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48What does this one do? And this one? And this one?
0:02:48 > 0:02:49No, Messy.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Ah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Oops. Oh, oh.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Oh,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58that button does that.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59What happened?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Everything's got really, really big.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04No, Zoe.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Remember, the shrinker-sizer can make things bigger and smaller.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12The button Messy pressed made us all really small.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Whoops.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Sorry, everyone.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20I'll return us to normal size. I just have to climb up.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Ah, wonderful. Ha-ha. Thank you, Zoom.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Oh!- Careful, Zam.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Ha-ha.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32I'm OK.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Yay!- Hooray!
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Ha-ha.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Hmm. Oh, dear.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Something in the shrinker-sizer is broken.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47It'll take a little while to fix. Hold on.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50We need to get things back to normal before the mayor gets
0:03:50 > 0:03:52here for his birthday picnic.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53What's that noise?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Ah, look.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Ah, wow, ants.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01And they're walking in a line.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Just like some of the ants in my garden.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Sometimes, ants follow each other to get to food.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09A lot of ants are better at smelling things than
0:04:09 > 0:04:13they are at seeing things so ants spray a trail of these
0:04:13 > 0:04:17smelly pheromones from out of their bodies onto the ground.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22The ants who are behind can follow the pheromones by smelling them with
0:04:22 > 0:04:27those long things they have on their heads which are called antennae.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31This way, the ants who are following know which way to go.
0:04:31 > 0:04:37Oh, so, it's almost like ants use smells to talk to one another.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40It's like when a cake smells really good.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44It's telling me, "Eat me, Messy. Eat me!"
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Speaking of cake, where has it gone?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Hmm. I didn't know cakes can run.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56They can't. An ant's got it.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59That's the mayor's birthday cake.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00You go and get it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I'll stay here with Zoom and fix the shrinker-sizer.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Come on, everyone.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07PANTING
0:05:07 > 0:05:11How can that small ant move such a big cake?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Ants are very strong, Felix.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16They can lift over 50 times their own weight.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20If you were that strong, you'd be able to lift a car all by yourself.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Ooh.- Ah.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Aw.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Oh, no. We've lost the ant.
0:05:28 > 0:05:34Hmm, maybe we can't see it but I can smell food from a long way away.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Follow me.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Here. The cake went down this hole.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Er, I think before we go down that hole,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52we should really think about whether or not...
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Weee!- Weee!- Weee!
0:05:56 > 0:05:57..we need a torch.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02ALL: Weee!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Ah.- Ooh.- Oh.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Ha-ha. That was fun.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Ooh, why did the ant take the cake down here?
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Because this is an ant nest. A place where lots of ants live together.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Ants sometimes carry food down here so other ants can eat it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21ALL: Wow!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23HE SNIFFS
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Hold on.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26The cake.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I can still smell it.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30It's that way.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Right, lead the way, Messy.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46This place is really big.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Yes, an ant nest can be a bit like a city for ants.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55In fact, one ant nest can be home to over a million ants.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58HE SNIFFS
0:06:58 > 0:07:04Hmm. My nose is telling me the cake is in this room.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06ALL: Wow!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09What's going on?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12That is a queen ant.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Oh.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18She's much bigger than all the other ants.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21That's because she's the most important ant in the nest.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24She lays all the ant eggs.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Oh.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28But what are those other ants doing?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30They're giving her food.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35She needs to eat a lot and some ants have the job of feeding the queen.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Oh, look. The cake.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41The ant was getting food to feed the queen.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I'm going to ask for it back.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Messy, be careful.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Careful? Of course I'll be careful.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Since when have you known me not to be care...?
0:07:51 > 0:07:52THUD
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Oh, dear.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Those are her eggs.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Save them, Messy.- Okidoo.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07GRUNTING
0:08:15 > 0:08:18ANTS CHEER
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Thank you, thank you. You're too kind.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Ha-ha. I think the ants like Messy.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Ha-ha. Phew.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32We are very sorry for coming into your royal chamber, Your Majesty.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35But could we have our cake back, please?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37It's for the mayor's birthday.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Thank you so much, Your Majestic Highness.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Thank you, Your Highness.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Well, now we've got the cake back,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52it's time we went back to the surface.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55MESSY GRUNTS Phew.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Bye.- Thank you.- Bye.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Zam, woohoo, Zam!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Zam, Zam, Zam.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Oh!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Careful.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Wow. You two look giant.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I got the shrinker-sizer working.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24And I've turned us back to normal size.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Let me turn you back before Mayor Oki gets here.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Ah, thank you, Zam.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Hello, hello, what do you know?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I didn't miss anything, did I?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Er, no, not that much, Mayor Oki. Ha-ha.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Happy birthday, Mayor Oki.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45ALL: Happy birthday, Mayor Oki.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Thank you. Thank you, everyone.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Let's get stuck into the cake.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- CHEERING - That's a great idea.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Oh, that cake really was the yummiest,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59scrummiest, in my tummiest cake ever.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Hmm.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05This is for you, ants. Thank you.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08ANTS CHEER
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Ah, well, thanks for the picnic, everyone.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12But it's time I went home.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Bye, everyone.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- ALL:- Goodbye, Messy.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Wow. Ants are amazing.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22They're very clever at working together
0:10:22 > 0:10:26and following other ants' smell to find their way around.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28That's why they walk in lines.
0:10:28 > 0:10:34But even more amazing is how they can carry loads and loads of food.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Hmm.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38But I'd rather eat food than carry it.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Bye-bye.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Balabalaboomboom!
