0:00:35 > 0:00:38It's our planet!

0:00:42 > 0:00:48Sharks are amazing fish that have been around for millions of years.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50They have swum in the seas

0:00:50 > 0:00:55since long before the dinosaurs walked the Earth.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Lots of sharks have sleek bodies

0:00:59 > 0:01:02that help them glide through the water.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05And if you look carefully,

0:01:05 > 0:01:10you'll see that sharks have a row of gill slits behind their heads.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13This is what they use to breathe.

0:01:27 > 0:01:32Rays, like these stingrays are actually flattened sharks.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48Stingrays have a poisonous sting in their tail.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58This is a manta ray.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02It's the largest of all the rays.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05A manta ray can grow as big as a car.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10Its gill slits are on the underside of its body.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Manta rays flap their huge fins like wings,

0:02:15 > 0:02:21which make them look as if they are flying through the water.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33One of the strangest-looking sharks is the hammerhead.

0:02:37 > 0:02:42Its eyes are on each side of its hammer-shaped head.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47It swings its head from side to side so it can look around.

0:02:47 > 0:02:52This zebra shark has spots like a leopard.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56Although when it's very young, it has stripes.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59That's why it's called a zebra shark.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Sharks have rough skin like sandpaper.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17That's why this rainbow runner fish is rubbing against it.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Rubbing helps it keep clean.

0:03:26 > 0:03:31Lots of sharks, like this silky shark, need to keep moving,

0:03:31 > 0:03:36otherwise it can't breathe and will drown.

0:03:38 > 0:03:44But this white-tipped reef shark is able to rest on the seabed.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48As long as it keeps opening and closing its mouth,

0:03:48 > 0:03:51it's able to breathe.

0:03:57 > 0:04:02Now, this is the biggest fish in the ocean.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07It's a whale shark, and they can grow bigger than a bus.

0:04:14 > 0:04:21These gentle giants feed on tiny creatures called plankton.

0:04:27 > 0:04:32Look at all these different types of sharks.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35They're amazing creatures.

0:04:39 > 0:04:44It's our planet!

0:04:44 > 0:04:45Boing, boing, boing!

0:04:45 > 0:04:49I'm a bouncing rabbit! Boing, boing, boing!

0:04:51 > 0:04:53I'm a tall giraffe.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Can you be an animal too?

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Boing, boing, boing!

0:04:59 > 0:05:02I'm a bouncing rabbit. Boing, boing, boing!

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I'm a tall giraffe.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10What animal is this?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16It's a shark.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21And Tom?

0:05:21 > 0:05:24He's a lion.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33It's our planet!

0:05:33 > 0:05:36There are more creatures for you to see.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41Some baby animals look just like their parents.

0:05:41 > 0:05:46Baby chimpanzees look just like their mum and dad.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50They're good climbers, even when they're still just babies.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Although this one still has a lot to learn.

0:05:58 > 0:06:03When they're little, baby chimps cling on to mum for protection.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06They watch everything that their mum does

0:06:06 > 0:06:11so they learn how to find food and deal with tricky things like nuts.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19These babies have just hatched out of their eggs.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23They're baby chameleons.

0:06:23 > 0:06:28They're exactly like their mum who left them in this nest to hatch out.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43They can even eat small insects already.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45But they have to take care,

0:06:45 > 0:06:50because they are so tiny, they could be eaten up too.

0:06:50 > 0:06:55This animal is a type of fish, and it lives in the sea.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Can you guess what it is?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07It's a sea horse.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Sea horses have babies too,

0:07:13 > 0:07:18and they also look just like their mum and dad.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21With most animals, mummies have the babies.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24But sea horses are different,

0:07:24 > 0:07:28because sea horse daddies have their babies.

0:07:32 > 0:07:37These children are looking at a baby barn owl.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43It's not very old at all.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47But it already looks just like its mum and dad.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51When it was born, it looked very different,

0:07:51 > 0:07:54because it didn't have many feathers.

0:07:54 > 0:07:59But now, it has all its feathers, and it likes having them stroked.

0:08:02 > 0:08:08Some baby animals don't look anything like their parents when they are born.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Look at these hungry caterpillars.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15They are eating up lots of leaves so they can grow.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19When they're big enough,

0:08:19 > 0:08:21they turn into a chrysalis.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23And eventually...

0:08:23 > 0:08:31they change from the chrysalis and turn into a beautiful butterfly.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Caterpillars turn into butterflies.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57It's our planet!
