0:00:02 > 0:00:04THEY BEATBOX
0:00:04 > 0:00:07THEY SCAT
0:00:11 > 0:00:15THEY HARMONISE
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Shut up.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37It's Monday morning at the zoo, and there's another busy day ahead.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Keepers are keeping...
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Hiya.- ..vets are vetting...
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Hello, there.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46..and the animals are...
0:00:46 > 0:00:48animalling.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Mm.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Keeping a close eye on all the animals is an important daily
0:00:53 > 0:00:55part of daily life at the zoo.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59The closeness of that close eye will be even closer today,
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- because it's the day of the big count.- Morning!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Craig, please explain.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Well, its stock take.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09It's that time of year now where we count all the animals
0:01:09 > 0:01:13to make sure we've got all the correct amount,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16making sure the numbers match to the records we have.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17SNAKE BLOWS RASPBERRY
0:01:17 > 0:01:19The annual stock take is the keepers'
0:01:19 > 0:01:22chance to ensure no animal is missing,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24and everyone is present and correct.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27TORTOISE BELCHES
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Well, present, anyway.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Some of the animals are keen to line-up and be counted.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37THEY CHEER
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Others are less keen.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I ain't doing no line-up.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I didn't do nothing!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Except maybe let off some gas.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47THEY GROAN
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Get me out of here!
0:01:51 > 0:01:54And as always, when there's an important event going on at the
0:01:54 > 0:01:58zoo, there's one big hairy alpha-male desperate
0:01:58 > 0:02:00to come out on top.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02No, not Craig.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I mean Jurgen, the silverback gorilla.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Right, boys.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10This is it. We need to get match fit.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Here we go.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Every year, he gets all worked up about the stock take.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17As soon as he sees a keeper with a clipboard,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19he thinks he's being scored out of ten.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21He won't listen.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23He makes us do loads of stupid exercises,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26so we'll get a better score. Honestly!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Come on, boys. 20 laps each.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Last year we only got four in the stock take.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34This year I want to double it.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Boss, we only scored four cos there are only four of us.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41You, me, Dave and...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Oh, yeah, Hank.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Yeah, that's me.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Shut up.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- And start running. - Dude, do we have to?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Yeah, do it.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56You do understand how a stock take works, don't you, Jurgen?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Yeah, yeah, of course.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59I mean, look at me.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Even on my own, I must be worth at least five points.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04No, no, it's not a competition.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07It's just a count of how many animals there are.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09You don't get a better score by working out.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Yeah, keep going, boys.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- I can't breathe! - HE PANTS
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Keep going!
0:03:15 > 0:03:19While Jurgen whips Team Gorilla into shape, elsewhere in the zoo,
0:03:19 > 0:03:24the epic task of ticking off all the animals is well underway.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Well, I'm the largest animal here at the zoo.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30So it'll take them longest to count me.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33We've got one elephant, so that's one.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Oh, I demand a recount!
0:03:36 > 0:03:37But over in Amphibian Ark,
0:03:37 > 0:03:42keeper Andy has a particularly big job on his hands.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Andy is about to count the zoo's army of tropical frogs.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49OK, chaps. Here's our chance to escape.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52When the big green hand appears, seize the moment,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54and head straight for Paris.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Erm, Paris?
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Yes.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59It's the romance capital of the world.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Oh-la-la.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04And I've heard they can't resist our legs.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Read it on a menu.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Yes, that's because they eat frogs' legs in Paris.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Nonsense! Right, chaps.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13When I call your name, hop forward.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Spiffy, Spaffy, Spotty, Spinky, Spammy...
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Wait, where's Spammy?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- You're Spammy!- Oh, that's right.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23As you were.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Spleeny, Spelty...
0:04:24 > 0:04:26So, how many frogs should there be, Andy?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Well, there should be 32.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Must be hard to find them all in that big tank.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Yeah, it's kind of like looking for a leaf in a pile of leaves.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Hm...
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Isn't finding a leaf in a pile of leaves quite easy?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42..Squinty, and...
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Here's the first of 30-odd frogs.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- Quick, play dead, Spiffy. - These are mantella betsileos.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51They're little Madagascan frogs that live in the dry,
0:04:51 > 0:04:55sort of, rainforesty, deciduous forests.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Shouldn't you shut the...?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Never mind.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02While Andy gets on with counting his frogs,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05outside, big cat keeper Helen is about to begin the long and arduous
0:05:05 > 0:05:08task of counting the zoo's tig...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Oh, she's finished.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12HE WHIMPERS
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Come on, boys. There's no time to rest.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18The tigers are on three already.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'm exhausted.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22My entire body is burning.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Dude, make him stop!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Why have you got to be so competitive all the time, boss?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I'm not competitive.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I'm not competitive at all.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Actually, Geoffrey, I am the best at not being competitive.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Meanwhile, back with Andy's army of amphibians, the count continues.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Go, go, go!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Leap for love, lads.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Oh. Whoops.- It's this way, isn't it?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Is Paris this way?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- So, how many frogs have you got, then, Andy?- We have...
0:05:55 > 0:05:58If they keep still.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
0:06:03 > 0:06:0514?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Erm, weren't there meant to be 32?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I'll count them again.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Six, seven, eight, nine,
0:06:15 > 0:06:1810, 11, 12, 13, 14...
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Andy?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Andy?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23BELL RINGS
0:06:23 > 0:06:25What is that racket?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27It's disrupting our training.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- HE SIGHS - Thank goodness...
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I can stop.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Oh, that. That's just the fire alarm...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Sh, isn't that...?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40You know, the escaped-animal alarm, boss?
0:06:40 > 0:06:41What?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I think some...erm...frogs must have escaped.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Isn't that right, Dave?- No.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Oh! Oh, wait, yeah.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Right, yeah. Yeah, it's a frog alarm.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Yeah, definitely.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54So, what? Who cares about some little bitty frogs?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Oh, but they can be really dangerous.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Isn't that great, Dave?- Oh, yeah, yeah. Deadly.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Are you sure?!- Oh, yeah.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05They go straight for the jugular vein.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06The jugular vein?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Where do you think the expression "a frog in your throat" comes from?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Argh! I...
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Excuse me a minute!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Where you going, boss?
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Toilet!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19HE SIGHS
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Now maybe we can get some peace and quiet for a bit.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23OK, chaps. Hop it, boys.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Quick.- Here I come.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27How's the frog count going, Andy?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28- Go, go, go!- Hop it, boys!- Quick!
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Geronimo!
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Oh, well.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Looks like he's busy.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Oh, that's a shoe.- Hello.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37The alarm has stopped.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Have they caught them?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Erm...no.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Did you know, boss, that the Phyllobates terribilis frog
0:07:44 > 0:07:47from South America is the most toxic animal on the planet?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I... I think I...
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I need the toilet again.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54And it's not just Jurgen who's worrying
0:07:54 > 0:07:56about a possible poison-frog escape...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Yes, well, they're highly toxic, apparently.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03And they can leap about 15 feet in the air.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05They've got big pointy fangs, can breathe fire...
0:08:05 > 0:08:07GASPING
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Oh, and they love confined spaces.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11THEY SHOUT OVER EACH OTHER
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Meanwhile, the fire-breathing frogs are driving Andy hopping mad.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Keep going, Spammy!- You're Spammy!
0:08:21 > 0:08:24And many of the animals have decided to go into hiding...
0:08:24 > 0:08:26There's nothing to see here.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28..which is making the stock take rather tricky.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31This is frog proof, right?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34OK, boys, so the plan is - we all lie low in here
0:08:34 > 0:08:36until those crazy frogs are back behind bars.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40But what if the frogs are already in here?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42THEY SHOUT OVER EACH OTHER
0:08:44 > 0:08:47At least it looks like Andy has finally
0:08:47 > 0:08:49got the situation under control.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52How many frogs were there in the end, then, Andy?
0:08:52 > 0:08:5629 frogs all back and present and accounted for.
0:08:56 > 0:08:5829?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00So there are three missing?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Three missing, yeah.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03We'll make a note of it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04It'll be added to the records.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07We wouldn't be surprised if next time we counted them,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10there was 31 or a couple more, but...
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Right, so it's quite hard to keep track of them, then?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Yeah.- But they couldn't have escaped?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Could they?- No, they definitely haven't escaped.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Woohoo! We made it!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Paris, here we come! - You do know they eat...
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Au revoir, Andy!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Oh, never mind. Good luck, chaps.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Your secret's safe with me.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31- So, Jurgen...- Huh?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Don't worry, it turns out that the frogs haven't escaped.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Oh.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I think it's probably safe to come out now.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- But what about the alarm? - Well, that was just the fire alarm.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Wasn't it, Craig?- Oh, that was just the fire alarm going off.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46We do it once a week.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49All the animals are used to it. Well, they should be by now.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Wait a second...
0:09:51 > 0:09:53You said it was the frog alarm.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Oh, you must have misheard us, boss.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Frog and fire, they sort of sound the same, don't they?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01No, they don't.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- They don't sound anything like each other!- Never mind, Jurgen.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It looks like the stock take is over now, anyway.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- But what did we score? - We only got three.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12They didn't count you, cos you were hiding in the toilet.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Argh. This is very disappointing.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19But I think we can all learn something from this experience.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21What, that every animal count is the same?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23The matter what size or shape it is?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26No, that if we want to win next year's stock take,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29we must start working out immediately.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Come on, boys - zumba class!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33One, two, three.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35One, two, three.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37One, two, three.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Oh, wait, wait, wait, boss. Is that a frog on your shoulder?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42What? No!
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Argh!
0:10:43 > 0:10:47They should have counted three gorillas and one chicken.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Geoffrey?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Yes, boss?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Shut up.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56THEY SCAT
