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