0:00:02 > 0:00:04- CHILDREN:- It's our planet!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38It's our planet!
0:00:42 > 0:00:47Have you ever noticed how snakes move along?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49They move along in a bendy way.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Snakes don't have any arms or legs,
0:00:54 > 0:00:59so they have to use their whole body to get from one place to another.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Most snakes live in warm places
0:01:02 > 0:01:05because they need the sun to keep them warm.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Snakes are reptiles.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13This snake is poking out its forked tongue.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20They use their forked tongues to smell,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22to sniff out something to eat.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Most snakes lay eggs,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30just like birds do.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35They often lay them underground, where they're safe.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43When the baby snakes hatch out
0:01:43 > 0:01:45they're just like their mum,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48only a lot smaller.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Some snakes are poisonous.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03This is a type of snake called a cobra,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and it's very dangerous because of its poison.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Cobras have flat-looking heads
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and they can stand up on their tails
0:02:12 > 0:02:15if you get too close to them.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Here's another poisonous snake.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25It's a rattlesnake.
0:02:25 > 0:02:32It's called a rattlesnake because it has a rattle on the end of its tail.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35If another animal comes too close,
0:02:35 > 0:02:40it makes a noise with its tail to try and make the animal go away.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Most snakes stay away from animals that are bigger than they are,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49so they only hurt people if they get in their way.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58In this country there is only one snake which can hurt you,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01but you hardly ever see it.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07It's called an adder...
0:03:08 > 0:03:13..and it has a zigzag pattern on its back.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28Another snake, which you might see in a garden, is a grass snake.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Grass snakes aren't poisonous.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37They like to eat small animals, but they won't hurt YOU.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Some snakes live in the desert.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45This is a sidewinder snake.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48It's called this because it moves sideways
0:03:48 > 0:03:50and leaves a pattern in the sand.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56In very warm places
0:03:56 > 0:04:00you even get snakes which live in the sea.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Sea snakes are great swimmers.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06There are many types of snakes.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Most of them won't hurt, unless you get too close to them.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14So if you see a snake, just let it slither away.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's our planet!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Boing-boing-boing! Boing-boing!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I'm a bouncing kangaroo.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Boing-boing-boing-boing!
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Boing-boing!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Can you be an animal too?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Boing-boing-boing-boing!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Boing-boing-boing-boing!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38What animal is this?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43It's a snake.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50And what creature is Charlie?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52He's a tiger.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57It's our planet!
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Come and see who lives in this garden.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09There's a bee, who likes to get nectar from flowers.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15And there's a woodlouse.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18They like to stay in dark, damp places.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27And there's a wasp.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33This wasp likes sweet things,
0:05:33 > 0:05:38and someone's left some lemonade out on the table.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52The clouds are getting darker and the sun has gone in.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55It looks like it's going to rain.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58THUNDER RUMBLES
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Lots of small animals don't like the rain.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15The raindrops are almost as big as they are!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25The wasp's having trouble flying.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29The rain's pouring down.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39And the woodlouse is in the gutter.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Rain falls off the roof, into the gutter...
0:06:45 > 0:06:48..and washes the woodlouse away,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52all the way down the drain.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57There's the woodlouse.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59He must be soaked!
0:07:07 > 0:07:12He's OK, though, and he'll be safe under the pot.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15It's wet on that rooftop,
0:07:15 > 0:07:19but it's even wetter in this rainforest.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25It rains much of the time here.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28That's why it's called a rainforest.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31The animals look like they're having a shower.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51These bats use their wings like an umbrella to keep themselves dry.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Rainforest animals don't seem to mind the rain,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01because it rains all the time.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05In fact, some animals even LIKE the rain.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12This hummingbird is having fun washing its feathers.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21When the rain stops
0:08:21 > 0:08:26the sunshine comes out and the animals soon dry out.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42But the sunshine never lasts too long.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Soon it's raining in the rainforest again.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's our planet!
