0:00:40 > 0:00:42Octonauts!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Shellington to Captain Barnacles.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'm heading up the river on my research mission.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I can't wait to observe the night-time
0:00:58 > 0:01:00behaviour of the African river creatures.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03It is very exciting. Safe travels, Shellington.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04HE YAWNS
0:01:04 > 0:01:07OK, Dashi, let's power down for the night.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Already on it, Captain.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Goodnight, Dashi.- Goodnight, Peso.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Night, Kwazii.- Night, Captain.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22SIREN WAILS
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Huh?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Octonauts to, er... HQ!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Octonauts, who sounded the Octo-alert?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41It's Shellington. The alert's coming from the GUP-E.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Captain Barnacles to Shellington.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45RASPING
0:01:46 > 0:01:49It sounds like there's a wild animal in there with him.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Shellington, do you read me?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54RASPING CONTINUES
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Kwazii, Peso, to the GUP-A.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59We're heading up the river to rescue Shellington.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06We're picking up a signal on the GUP-finder, Captain.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Aye, it's the GUP-E for sure.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12The GUP-E should be right here.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13RASPING
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Listen. RASPING CONTINUES
0:02:15 > 0:02:17It's the...wild animal!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19And it's coming from over there!
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Kwazii, wait! This could be dangerous. We'll go together.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26RASPING CONTINUES
0:02:26 > 0:02:28SHELLINGTON SNORES
0:02:28 > 0:02:30ALL: Shellington!
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Oh!
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Captain? Kwazii? Peso? What are you doing? What am I...? Oh.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I must have fallen asleep while watching the night-time creatures.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40THEY LAUGH
0:02:40 > 0:02:45Oh. Well, next time, try not to fall asleep on the Octo-alert button!
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Uh?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Ooh! Ha-ha-ha-ha! So sorry.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53It's OK. We're just glad you're all right.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Now, let's head back home.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day, mateys.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Sun is a-shining, river's nice and peaceful...
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Um... Maybe not so peaceful.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10CHATTERING
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Turn back while you can! Some really scary guys up ahead.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Hm? What sort of scary guys?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21There's your answer, Cap'n. Crocs!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23They don't come any meaner and scarier.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Yes, but the crocodiles seem to be minding their own business.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33You better beat it. Here they come!
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Shellington, over here.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Something's coming.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39RUMBLING
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Hippos? Ha! That's what everyone's afraid of?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Those scallywags look like nothing but big slowcoaches.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53HIPPOS YAWN
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Sleepy slowcoaches. They're kind of sweet.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03They might LOOK that way, but hippos can be very, VERY dangerous.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05GRUNTING
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Yargh! I see what you mean.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12They're extremely protective of their territory in the river,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14and do not like strangers.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Those big teeth and crushing jaws could certainly do some
0:04:17 > 0:04:18damage to the GUPs.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21So... How do we get past them?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Very carefully. Follow my lead.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Lucky for us,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31they're fast asleep after a long night of grazing on grass.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I don't think so, matey. Not unless they're sleepwalking. Er...
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Sleep-swimming.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40That's exactly what they're doing.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Since hippos are so heavy, they sink to the bottom while asleep,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47then float to the surface every now and then to breathe.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49And all without waking up!
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Let's try to keep it that way.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Incoming from above, Captain.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01And another rising up from below.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Hard left, Shellington.- Oh! - Now hard right.- Agh!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Almost through the herd, Captain.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Just a bit further, and we're home fr... Oh!
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Ugh! Avoid contact, Shellington. Full runner left.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18SHELLINGTON GASPS
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- Nice hippo...- There you go... Just a bad dream.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- No need to wake up. - SHELLINGTON SIGHS
0:05:28 > 0:05:29HIPPO GRUNTS
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- Agh! - HIPPO GROWLS
0:05:31 > 0:05:32This is not good.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38You come into our neighbourhood. We don't like that.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Ugh! Woke me from my beauty sleep. I never like that.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45We're very sorry!
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Not as sorry as you're about to be, ja?
0:05:49 > 0:05:50HIPPO GROWLS
0:05:50 > 0:05:54I don't think this is a good time to talk it over with them.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Back up, Shellington.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00And now turn nice and easy...
0:06:00 > 0:06:05OK, let's move out slow and steady.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07HIPPOS GRUMBLE
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Slow and steady isn't working too well, Captain!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13You're right. Full speed ahead!
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Whoa! Agh!
0:06:24 > 0:06:25- KWAZII SIGHS - The hippos
0:06:25 > 0:06:27have stopped chasing us.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29But WHY have they stopped?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31That's their territory. This isn't.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34And it's fairly certain that if we head back that way,
0:06:34 > 0:06:35they'll attack again.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Then it's best we wait till they leave the river.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Those hippos can't stay there all day.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Actually, they can, and often do.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Really? But they must take a lunch break.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48No. Hippos are nocturnal feeders.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53They eat at night in the jungle, but stay in or around the river all day.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55They do it to stay wet.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57A hippo's skin may look tough,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00but it's actually very sensitive to the sun.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03If it gets too dry and hot, it can be very uncomfortable.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Then we should wait for nightfall
0:07:05 > 0:07:08when the hippos leave the river to eat.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12I don't think we CAN wait that long. The GUPs have taken a lot of damage.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14They may not be working by night-time.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18But the hippos are right there, blocking our path!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20How will we get past them?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Let me handle that, mateys.
0:07:25 > 0:07:31Ooh! Ahh! Come and get me, ya lazy lumps! Over here!
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Oh! Lazy?! Oh, let's show him who's lazy!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Over here!
0:07:39 > 0:07:40HIPPO GRUNTS
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Ha-ha! It's not even a contest, you slowcoaches!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Agh! Ha-ha.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Keep them busy, Kwazii. Shellington, follow me.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Yow!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Ha-ha! - HIPPO GROWLS
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Shiver me whiskers! These oversized scallywags
0:08:02 > 0:08:03are faster than I thought!
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Just about made it through, Captain.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12That big rock should be far enough outside the hippos' home territory.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15And that's where we said we'd meet up with Kwazii.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- HE GASPS - Captain! I've lost my rudder!
0:08:21 > 0:08:22I can't move.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25We need a towline. We're still in hippo territory.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- I can make one from bandages.- Great! But you'd better do it fast.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31We've got company!
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Towline secure, Captain. - Now let's get out of here!
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Kwazii, do you read?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Aye. Heading for our meeting-up place, Captain.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Really hope you'll be there!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Ohh! Hope I'LL be there.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00No escape now, ja? Unless, maybe, you can fly?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02THEY LAUGH
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Great idea, matey. Hup!
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Yaargh!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Yow! Yargh!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Ha-ha! See ya later.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Or maybe sooner!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Better give her full throttle, Captain.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Those hippos can be faster than they look.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Hm?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23HIPPO GROANS
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I'm so hot!
0:09:25 > 0:09:29The hippos have spent too much time in the hot sun.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Their skin's all dried out.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34It looks really uncomfortable. We can't leave them like that.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Agreed. Any ideas, Peso?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40I know a quick and easy remedy for hot, dry skin. Mud!
0:09:43 > 0:09:48So. Back for more, are you? Want some more of this, do you?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50HIPPO GROANS
0:09:50 > 0:09:54You don't know who you're messing with! Whoa!
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Oh, yes, we do. Some very hot and dry hippos.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00But don't worry, we're going to fix that.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- Ja, that's nice!- Oh! - Ooh, lovely mud.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Everyone feel better?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Ah, ja. Thanks for the mud.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15You're welcome, mateys.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Now, the next time you see me, don't go chasing me around like that.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Sorry. We don't usually like strangers on our turf,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25but I guess you guys are all right.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29So, how about we return the favour,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31and cool YOU off?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34THEY LAUGH
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Whoa, whoa, whoa!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39You know what? That does feel good!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I'm cool as a hippo in mud! Ha-ha-ha-ha!
