0:00:020:00:06

supersizing, dancing, fact-finding and laughing.

0:00:060:00:11

So, get ready for more fun from The Let's Go Club!

0:00:110:00:15

Today, we're finding out all about animals.

0:00:190:00:24

Growlers, prowlers.

0:00:240:00:27

Leapers, creepers.

0:00:270:00:30

Furry, purry.

0:00:300:00:33

Grimy and...slimy!

0:00:330:00:36

-CROAK!

-Eurgh! Yuck!

0:00:360:00:39

Let's get to those facts!

0:00:390:00:41

First up, Dalmatian puppies

0:00:410:00:44

are completely spotless when they're born.

0:00:440:00:47

The pups have an all-white coat for the first few weeks.

0:00:470:00:51

You have a hard time spotting them in the snow.

0:00:510:00:55

WOOF! But then, spot by spot,

0:00:550:00:57

something magical happens!

0:00:570:01:00

The puppy's fur turns from white to dotty!

0:01:000:01:04

And the spots don't stop...

0:01:040:01:06

..they just keep coming as a Dalmatian grows older and older!

0:01:070:01:11

Spot on! WOOF!

0:01:110:01:14

Next, frogs don't drink water.

0:01:140:01:17

Instead, they soak it up through their skin.

0:01:170:01:20

FROG CROAKS

0:01:200:01:22

Frogs have a drinking patch - a bit like a sponge -

0:01:220:01:25

on their tummies and legs.

0:01:250:01:28

They use these patches to get all the water they need.

0:01:280:01:32

Just like us, frogs like to lie in the sunshine

0:01:320:01:36

to warm up when they're cold.

0:01:360:01:39

When they get a little too hot,

0:01:390:01:41

they hop into the water to cool off -

0:01:410:01:44

and, of course, soak up some more water if they're thirsty.

0:01:440:01:49

Next, tigers don't just have stripy fur.

0:01:490:01:54

Their skin is stripy too!

0:01:540:01:56

ROAR! How's that for a fancy cat?

0:01:560:01:59

The pattern of stripes on a tiger is different for each and every one -

0:01:590:02:04

a bit like people's fingerprints -

0:02:040:02:07

and those stripes go all the way from the fur to the skin.

0:02:070:02:12

So, if the tiger was unlucky enough to get a bad haircut at the barber's,

0:02:120:02:17

you'd see a stripy pattern all over its body.

0:02:170:02:20

Roar-some!

0:02:200:02:22

And finally, otters go to sleep holding hands,

0:02:220:02:27

or paws, if we're being picky.

0:02:270:02:29

Yes, sea otters grab hold of their nearest neighbour

0:02:290:02:33

when they're sleeping or eating, so that they don't lose each other.

0:02:330:02:37

The otters float together in groups called rafts,

0:02:370:02:40

which can be just two, or hundreds of otters!

0:02:400:02:44

And, if there isn't another friendly otter around to cling on to,

0:02:440:02:49

they'll wrap themselves up in the nearest clump of seaweed,

0:02:490:02:52

to make sure they don't drift away. Fact!

0:02:520:02:56

You can be part of The Let's Go Club, too!

0:02:560:02:59

Grab a grown-up and head to the CBeebies website.

0:02:590:03:03

Remember, we're the club that never closes!
