0:00:44 > 0:00:45# Andy's baby animals! #

0:00:48 > 0:00:49That's it, eat up.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hello. I'm Andy.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54And this is Carmen.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56She's a baby tortoise.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58She's only 14 months old,

0:00:58 > 0:01:03but she has the perfect place to hide - in her shell.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Now, tortoises carry their homes on their backs.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10When they feel like they need a bit of time to themselves,

0:01:10 > 0:01:13they can crawl into their shells...

0:01:13 > 0:01:14and relax.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Then when they feel safe,

0:01:17 > 0:01:20they can poke their heads back out

0:01:20 > 0:01:22and take a look around.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25It's good for young animals to have a place to hide.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29First we're off to Brazil.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37These cuddly critters are coatis.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43They're called ring-tailed coati because of that big stripy tail.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49This family live in the forest here in Brazil.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00But today Mum is taking her pups on a food-finding mission.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06It's the first time the pups have been out of the forest

0:02:06 > 0:02:08and it's all very new and exciting.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Don't forget to keep up with Mum, guys!

0:02:27 > 0:02:30One way the cubs can make sure they don't get lost

0:02:30 > 0:02:33is by following Mum's big stripy tail.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42This lush, green meadow is a very good place to find food.

0:02:43 > 0:02:48Coati love to munch on bugs and grubs

0:02:48 > 0:02:52and it's easy to sniff them out with their big, long noses.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54HE SNIFFS Found one.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Oh, no, that's my foot!

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Their noses aren't as long as his, though. Phoah!

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Lots of animals come to this meadow to feed.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18But not all of them are friendly.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24A savanna hawk has his greedy eye on the little coati pups.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Look out, everyone, it's an air raid!

0:03:28 > 0:03:33The best place for the coati to hide is back in the forest.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35When they're in the trees,

0:03:35 > 0:03:38even a hawk-eyed bird of prey can't spot them.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Oh, are they going to get there?

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Come on, guys.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Phew!

0:03:51 > 0:03:53They've made it. Well done, everyone.

0:03:56 > 0:04:02Oh, no. It looks like this little pup has been left behind

0:04:02 > 0:04:06and that hungry hawk is still hanging around.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13Luckily, he's so small, he can hide in the long grass.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17But he needs to get back to the forest

0:04:17 > 0:04:20if he wants to re-join the rest of his family.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25On your marks, get set,

0:04:25 > 0:04:26go!

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Run, little one! Come on.

0:04:29 > 0:04:30Keep your head down.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36It's hard to run fast when you've got such little legs.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Almost there.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Ah!

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Well done. He's made it.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Now, where's Mum got to?

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Ah, there she is.

0:05:00 > 0:05:05Oh, she's so pleased to see him and so are his brothers and sisters.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Now they're all back in the forest,

0:05:11 > 0:05:15the little coati pups will have plenty of places to hide

0:05:15 > 0:05:17if the hawk ever returns.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23But for now, they can just get on with having fun.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29# Andy's baby animals.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32# Andy's baby animals! #

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Over we go to Canada this time.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39When you live in a place with no trees at all,

0:05:39 > 0:05:41hiding can be much harder.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Take this fluffy eider duckling, for example.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46WOLF HOWLS

0:05:46 > 0:05:49It needs to hide from this pack of hungry white wolves

0:05:49 > 0:05:51who are out searching for a meal.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02Luckily, Mum knows just what to do.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08She's taking her babies to the lake.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11The ducklings have never been there before,

0:06:11 > 0:06:15but they take to swimming, well, like a duck to water.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Oh, dear. It looks like one of the wolves has spotted them.

0:06:21 > 0:06:26You might think they're safe out there in the middle of the lake,

0:06:26 > 0:06:28but wolves are great swimmers, too.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38The little ducklings are too small to fly.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44So it's up to Mum to save them.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49And she does it by playing a game with the wolves.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55It's called Catch Me If You Can.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Her ducklings watch her deal with the wolf.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05All this splashing around makes the wolf follow her

0:07:05 > 0:07:10while the babies duck - excuse the pun - out of sight.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Well done, Mum!

0:07:23 > 0:07:28After all that running around, the wolf is puffed out.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Off it goes.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Time for a family reunion.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39# Andy's baby animals

0:07:39 > 0:07:41# Andy's baby animals! #

0:07:41 > 0:07:44We're going to a special lake in Africa now.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Here in Lake Malawi,

0:07:48 > 0:07:52there's another animal mum helping her babies to hide.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59This fish is a real bigmouth.

0:08:00 > 0:08:05Don't worry, I'm not being rude, that's her name - a big-mouth hap.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11And she has a very strange way of hiding her babies

0:08:11 > 0:08:16from other hungry fish who want to gobble them up.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18She doesn't hide them in the rocks,

0:08:18 > 0:08:21she hides them in her mouth!

0:08:22 > 0:08:27Whenever she thinks there might be danger around, she opens wide...

0:08:28 > 0:08:31..and they swim straight inside.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36It looks like she's eating them,

0:08:36 > 0:08:40but she's just keeping them safe until the danger has passed.

0:08:42 > 0:08:47Once she's chased away all the hungry fish, she opens up,

0:08:47 > 0:08:50the baby fish swim back out again.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Brilliant!

0:08:57 > 0:09:01They'll swim in and out of her mouth until they're six weeks old

0:09:01 > 0:09:04and big enough to look after themselves.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09But until then, wherever they go,

0:09:09 > 0:09:13these little fish will always have somewhere to hide.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20I just hope Mum hasn't got bad breath. Ew!

0:09:22 > 0:09:24A coati pup,

0:09:24 > 0:09:25a duckling, and baby fish.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28They've all got their favourite hiding places.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31For Carmen here, it's her shell.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33See you next time.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Where are you off to again? I don't know.
