0:00:14 > 0:00:15Tell me about it!
0:00:15 > 0:00:20If you like to wonder why Tinga Tinga is a land of whys
0:00:20 > 0:00:23# You won't believe your eyes
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Why I swing from tree to tree.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Why my trunk is long.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31- Why I'm so slow.- Why I tick. - Why my skin is smooth and slick.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34# You ask why, why, why, why, why. #
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Why?!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38# You ask why, why, why, why, why.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- # There's a story. # - Lots of stories.

0:00:54 > 0:00:55Look at all my friends!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I'll tell you why...
0:01:01 > 0:01:04..why Aardvark has a sticky tongue.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09But you see, there was a time
0:01:09 > 0:01:12when Aardvark didn't have a sticky tongue.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19When eating was a bit of a problem.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- Try holding the corn like this.- And then nibbling the corn like this.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Here we are...
0:01:28 > 0:01:30..nearly there. Oh!
0:01:30 > 0:01:32My paws are too big,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and my mouth's too tiny.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I know, let's ask Elephant. He's got a big nose like yours.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- Yes, maybe Elephant can help. - Yes, Elephant!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Right, well, the first thing is to find a nice ripe mango.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Not too hard and not too soft.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56Then you wiggle your trunk around the mango, like so.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Then pop it in your mouth.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I can wiggle my nose, look.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Ha-ha, that's good. Your turn.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Oh, there's a good one.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15It won't curl.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Try snuffling.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19OK, I'll give it a go.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23It's stuck!
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Some beast pat Aardvark on the back, please.- I'll do it!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Ho-ho, ooh! Yummy.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Will I ever find something that I can eat?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Hmm, perhaps Mamma Cheetah can help.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41She is the best hunter in Tinga Tinga.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43That's brilliant.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Run, Aardvark, run!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I am running.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Run!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Oh, dear. - I could do better than that.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59AARDVARK PANTS
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I don't think Aardvark will ever make a good hunter.
0:03:02 > 0:03:09What about Mamma Hen, hmm? I'm sure she would give Aardvark an egg.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Now I'm even more hungry. - Mamma Hen it is.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17There you go. Please help yourself, Aardvark.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Oh, a lovely egg. Thank you, Mamma Hen.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Asante.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Careful now, Aardvark. Just poke a small hole in it.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Try and catch it!- Careful, Aardvark!
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Easy, it's an easy catch. Carefully does it.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Got it!
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Oh!- Oh.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- I'm never going to find anything to eat.- Yes, you will, Aardvark.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00After a good night's sleep we'll definitely think of something.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Now, lala salama, everyone. Goodnight.- Lala salama.- Sleep well.
0:04:10 > 0:04:16Oh, it's no use. I can't get to sleep. I'm so hungry.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22Oh! Cheetahs hunt, monkeys eat corn, elephant has mangoes.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25But me, what do I have?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Nothing in my tummy!
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Oh!
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Oh, what's the matter, Aardvark?
0:04:36 > 0:04:43- You should be fast asleep.- I can't sleep. I've got nothing in my tummy.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Nothing in your tummy?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48That's not good. That's not good at all.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Have you tried mangoes?
0:04:50 > 0:04:56I've tried everything, but I either drop it or snuffle it or break it.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58It's a big problem.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03Well, we can't have that. Let's get all the night animals to help.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Twit-twoo!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Twit-twoo!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Jambo, everyone.- Jambo, everyone!
0:05:10 > 0:05:15- What's the problem?- Aardvark can't find anything to eat.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- And I'm really hungry. - Any suggestions?
0:05:18 > 0:05:22One, two, one, two, three, tell Aardvark what we all like to eat.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Me, I like eggs, egg is a treat. - I like mosquitoes.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Me, I like flies.- The best is a moth but depends on size.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32For moles, a worm or a slug.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Yes, worms, they are nice but you can't beat a bug.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40# So it's insects and worms that you really can eat
0:05:40 > 0:05:45# Insects and worms that we all like to eat
0:05:45 > 0:05:50# Insects and worms that's a treat! #
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Ha-ha!
0:05:52 > 0:05:59- Worms and bugs? That sounds horrible! - I know! What about honey?
0:05:59 > 0:06:05Every beast loves honey and it's the easiest thing to eat in the world.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06You just lick.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Oh, I saw the bees hide some honey in this log earlier.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I'm sure they won't mind.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19I agree. I know the bees will be the first to help poor hungry Aardvark.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24Now, come on, just put a tiny bit on the tip of your tongue.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Mmm...- What's the matter?
0:06:26 > 0:06:31My tongue's really small. I'll never be able to get it into that log.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Look!
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- Oh, that is tiny. - That's even smaller than mine.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- That isn't good at all. - Animals, please!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Now, come on, Aardvark, we don't want you to waste away.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47OK, but it's not going to work, I tell you.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Don't be such a doomy gloomy!
0:06:54 > 0:06:59Oh, it's all sweet and squidgy and sticky.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03It's so sticky that I'm... I'm...
0:07:03 > 0:07:04I'm stuck!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Aardvark's stuck!
0:07:06 > 0:07:11Aardvark's stuck? That's not good. That's not good at all.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Pull!- Pull!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I am pulling!
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Bush baby, Skunk, let's all work together
0:07:20 > 0:07:25so we can all pull Aardvark off the honeycomb.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Pull! Vuta! Pull!
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Pull! Vuta! Pull!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Pull! Vuta! Pull!
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Pull! Vuta!
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Pull!
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Oh!
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Uh-oh!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Oops.- Oh, no.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Is that my tongue?- Oh, dear.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58What am I going to do with that?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Try rolling it up, Aardvark. It might roll back in.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Look at Aardvark's tongue.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Mmm, oh, it's all sweet and sticky. Delicious!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I wonder if I can roll it out.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I can! I can unroll
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and roll my tongue, look!
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Look at this!
0:08:26 > 0:08:27In...
0:08:27 > 0:08:28and out.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I bet that long, sticky tongue of yours
0:08:35 > 0:08:38will be perfect for catching termites.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Termites? Eugh!
0:08:41 > 0:08:45No, Aardvark, termites are delicious.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50I manage to get a few digging, you know, with these big paws of mine.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Oh, I've got big paws like that.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Oh, and with that long, sticky tongue of yours,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59you could snaffle them up.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Come on, let's give it a try. Dig, dig, like this.
0:09:09 > 0:09:15- I can see lots of tunnels. Now what? - Roll out your new sticky tongue.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Ah, rolling out now.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Mmm.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Oh, they're delicious!
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Aw, this is perfect.- Ha-ha!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Aw!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43These termites sure taste good.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50No more empty tummy for Aardvark. Thank goodness for that.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Told you! Let's get some more.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Me!- Your turn!
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Oh, jambo, Aardvark! What are you doing?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Snuffling for termites with my new sticky tongue!
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Look!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Whoa!- Wow!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16That's amazing. Do it again!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Do it again, do it again!
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Ta-da!
0:10:20 > 0:10:24And, with my new sticky tongue,
0:10:24 > 0:10:28I won't be hungry ever again.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32And that's why Aardvark has a sticky tongue!
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Ha-ha-ha!
0:10:33 > 0:10:39Well, that's enough food for now. I'm going to have a rest.
0:10:39 > 0:10:45And do you know from that night on, Aardvark always came out at night
0:10:45 > 0:10:49to eat termites with his new friend Mole.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54Hey, Aardvark, this is my hole. Ha-ha!
0:10:54 > 0:11:00And Mole, living underground, well, that's a WHOLE other story! He-he!
