0:00:02 > 0:00:06This is The Let's Go Club, but Mini! Expect making, exploring,
0:00:06 > 0:00:11supersizing, dancing, fact-finding and laughing.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15So, get ready for more fun from The Let's Go Club!
0:00:19 > 0:00:24Today, we're finding out all about animals.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Growlers, prowlers.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Leapers, creepers.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Furry, purry.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Grimy and...slimy!
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- CROAK! - Eurgh! Yuck!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Let's get to those facts!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44First up, Dalmatian puppies
0:00:44 > 0:00:47are completely spotless when they're born.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51The pups have an all-white coat for the first few weeks.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55You have a hard time spotting them in the snow.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57WOOF! But then, spot by spot,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00something magical happens!
0:01:00 > 0:01:04The puppy's fur turns from white to dotty!
0:01:04 > 0:01:06And the spots don't stop...
0:01:07 > 0:01:11..they just keep coming as a Dalmatian grows older and older!
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Spot on! WOOF!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Next, frogs don't drink water.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Instead, they soak it up through their skin.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22FROG CROAKS
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Frogs have a drinking patch - a bit like a sponge -
0:01:25 > 0:01:28on their tummies and legs.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32They use these patches to get all the water they need.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Just like us, frogs like to lie in the sunshine
0:01:36 > 0:01:39to warm up when they're cold.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41When they get a little too hot,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44they hop into the water to cool off -
0:01:44 > 0:01:49and, of course, soak up some more water if they're thirsty.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Next, tigers don't just have stripy fur.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Their skin is stripy too!
0:01:56 > 0:01:59ROAR! How's that for a fancy cat?
0:01:59 > 0:02:04The pattern of stripes on a tiger is different for each and every one -
0:02:04 > 0:02:07a bit like people's fingerprints -
0:02:07 > 0:02:12and those stripes go all the way from the fur to the skin.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17So, if the tiger was unlucky enough to get a bad haircut at the barber's,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20you'd see a stripy pattern all over its body.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Roar-some!
0:02:22 > 0:02:27And finally, otters go to sleep holding hands,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29or paws, if we're being picky.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Yes, sea otters grab hold of their nearest neighbour
0:02:33 > 0:02:37when they're sleeping or eating, so that they don't lose each other.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40The otters float together in groups called rafts,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44which can be just two, or hundreds of otters!
0:02:44 > 0:02:49And, if there isn't another friendly otter around to cling on to,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52they'll wrap themselves up in the nearest clump of seaweed,
0:02:52 > 0:02:56to make sure they don't drift away. Fact!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59You can be part of The Let's Go Club, too!
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Grab a grown-up and head to the CBeebies website.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Remember, we're the club that never closes!
