It's our planet!

It's our planet!

0:00:350:00:38

All animals need to eat food to give them energy to grow and move.

0:00:430:00:49

This is a sea otter, and sea otters like to eat shellfish called clams.

0:00:500:00:57

The only trouble is,

0:00:570:00:59

the juicy meat inside the clam is locked up in a hard shell.

0:00:590:01:03

Here's how the sea otter gets inside.

0:01:050:01:09

First, he collects the clam.

0:01:090:01:11

Then he dives down deep to the seabed to collect a big stone.

0:01:110:01:16

Back on the water's surface, he rests the stone on his belly

0:01:180:01:23

and bangs the clam hard to open it up.

0:01:230:01:27

It's hard work

0:01:350:01:37

but, for the sea otter,

0:01:370:01:39

it's worth it.

0:01:390:01:41

These marmoset monkeys are eating gum from this tree.

0:01:590:02:04

They come here every day for this tasty treat.

0:02:100:02:15

Humming birds feed on nectar that they find in flowers.

0:02:170:02:23

They have long thin beaks and tongues to reach right down inside the flower.

0:02:240:02:30

They're amazing flyers. Look how they hover.

0:02:320:02:36

You can hardly see their wings move.

0:02:360:02:39

And look at this one,

0:02:420:02:43

using its long beak and tongue to lap up the nectar.

0:02:430:02:47

Anteaters also have long tongues,

0:02:490:02:51

which they use to lick up ants and termites.

0:02:510:02:55

What a long, sticky tongue!

0:03:120:03:16

Giraffes have very long necks,

0:03:240:03:26

which help them reach the tops of trees to eat their favourite food.

0:03:260:03:31

Leaves.

0:03:360:03:38

Because they have very long necks, and are the tallest animal on land,

0:03:410:03:45

they can eat leaves on tall trees that others animals cannot reach.

0:03:450:03:50

Giraffes spend most of their day eating

0:03:500:03:53

because they only get a few leaves in each bite.

0:03:530:03:56

These trees have lots of thorns to keep animals from eating them.

0:03:580:04:02

But that doesn't stop the giraffes from eating the delicious leaves.

0:04:020:04:08

Animals eat lots of different foods in lots of different ways.

0:04:080:04:14

It's our planet!

0:04:210:04:24

Miaow, miaow, miaow, miaow!

0:04:260:04:30

What can you hear?

0:04:300:04:32

Miaow, miaow, miaow!

0:04:320:04:35

A cat is here.

0:04:350:04:37

What animal is this?

0:04:370:04:39

It's a sea otter.

0:04:430:04:47

And Poppy's...

0:04:470:04:49

a leopard.

0:04:490:04:51

It's our planet!

0:04:560:04:59

There are more creatures for you to see.

0:04:590:05:02

Take a look at all these fresh fruits and vegetables.

0:05:030:05:07

They come in all shapes and sizes,

0:05:070:05:12

and in lots of different colours and flavours.

0:05:120:05:16

It's easy to see fruit and vegetables grow

0:05:180:05:21

when you speed up the pictures.

0:05:210:05:24

Look at this marrow.

0:05:260:05:28

It would take many weeks to grow this big.

0:05:280:05:31

As the fruit and vegetables grow, they ripen.

0:05:360:05:41

Lots of fruit and vegetables grow from a seed.

0:05:410:05:45

First, you sow your seeds in the soil.

0:05:480:05:53

Then it's not long before the seeds sprout out of the soil...

0:05:530:05:58

..and become seedlings.

0:06:000:06:03

The seedlings grow up towards the light and get bigger and bigger...

0:06:060:06:11

until they're ready to pick.

0:06:110:06:13

Now, here is a fruit that starts off as a little white flower

0:06:210:06:25

and eventually turns into a fat, red berry.

0:06:250:06:29

A strawberry.

0:06:300:06:32

When plants grow up and are old enough,

0:06:360:06:40

they make fruits full of seeds.

0:06:400:06:43

And these seeds will make more food for next year.

0:06:430:06:47

All plants need lots of sunlight.

0:06:510:06:55

They also need water to grow.

0:06:570:07:00

These runner beans are using their stems

0:07:060:07:09

to twist round and around the bean poles

0:07:090:07:13

so that they can climb towards the sun.

0:07:130:07:16

Tasty, green runner beans.

0:07:250:07:29

It looks like it's dinner time for another visitor to the garden.

0:07:350:07:40

A snail...

0:07:460:07:48

..and slugs

0:07:520:07:53

and caterpillars love to feed on the leaves.

0:07:530:07:57

They're not welcome in the garden

0:07:570:08:00

because they munch their way through fruit and vegetables.

0:08:000:08:04

There's lots to do in the garden all year round.

0:08:040:08:08

Winter is the time to get the soil ready.

0:08:080:08:10

Springtime is time to sow the seeds.

0:08:120:08:15

Summertime means lots of watering and weeding.

0:08:160:08:20

Autumn is harvest time.

0:08:200:08:23

And that's when you get potatoes...

0:08:230:08:26

..carrots...

0:08:290:08:31

..beetroot...

0:08:330:08:34

..corn...

0:08:360:08:38

..tomatoes...

0:08:390:08:42

courgettes, apples.

0:08:420:08:46

All these fruits and vegetables

0:08:490:08:51

are ready to be picked just in time for the harvest festival.

0:08:510:08:56

It's our planet!
