0:00:44 > 0:00:45# Andy's Baby Animals! #
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Hello. I'm Andy.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53And these are baby ferrets, or pups.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55This is Max and Marley.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58And they are little wrigglers!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00They love exploring.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Now, in the wild, ferrets live in burrows.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07So it's really handy for them to learn how to explore as pups.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Let's catch up with some other young explorers.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15First stop, Antarctica.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21This super streamlined swimmer is a Weddell seal,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24and she's exploring an icy underwater world.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33And if you think it looks cold down here...
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Well, it's not much warmer up on top!
0:01:37 > 0:01:38ANDY SHIVERS
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Seals love the water.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45But they're mammals,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48which means they have to come up to breathe air.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Here she comes...
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Pop!
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Her pup has been waiting for her on the ice.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01GROANING
0:02:01 > 0:02:03He's only a few days old,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05so he hasn't been exploring with Mum yet.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Oh, I think he's pleased to see her, though.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13The Antarctic sea ice where these seals live
0:02:13 > 0:02:15is one of the coldest places on earth.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Seals don't mind the cold, though.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25They've got waterproof fur,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28and a thick layer of fat to keep them warm.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33And if it gets really cold,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37well, you can always use Mum as a windshield.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Oooh.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41There's even warm milk on tap, too.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Perfect.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46But this pup can't stay on the ice for ever.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It's time to go exploring.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51ANDY SHIVERS
0:02:51 > 0:02:54SEAL GROANS It's cold when you first get in!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Mum makes sure there's a nice big hole in the ice
0:03:02 > 0:03:03by scraping the ice with her teeth.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05MUM GROANS
0:03:05 > 0:03:06ANDY SHIVERS
0:03:06 > 0:03:08That must be cold on the mouth!
0:03:09 > 0:03:13She needs to do this every day so they don't get stuck on the ice.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Oh, it looks like hard work!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Now it's time for the little pup's first-ever swim.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31It's a bit scary.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34He's going to need to be really brave.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Come on.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40That's it.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Things look very different down here.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Ooh! I think he wants to get back out.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Come on, little guy.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54You can do it!
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Here he comes.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Aww, he's done it!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10This is just the first of many diving trips
0:04:10 > 0:04:13this little seal pup will make with his mum
0:04:13 > 0:04:15whilst he's learning to catch fish.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21But for now,
0:04:21 > 0:04:27he can just enjoy exploring this beautiful underwater world.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34# Andy's Baby Animals!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36# Andy's Baby Animals! #
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Next destination is Kenya,
0:04:39 > 0:04:40in Africa.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43For young animals,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46going exploring can often be a bit challenging...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52..as these two little leopard cubs are about to find out.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58They're only ten weeks old,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01and already they think they're the best explorers around.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04But...
0:05:04 > 0:05:07they haven't even left the safety of their riverside den yet.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11They've got the perfect outfits for exploring, though.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16That spotted coat helps them to hide in the long grass.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21One day, they'll use it to sneak up on prey.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26But while they're still little,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29it keeps them hidden from scary lions...
0:05:30 > 0:05:31LION ROARS
0:05:31 > 0:05:34..and sneaky crocodiles.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39OK, boys, it's time to get your first taste of real exploring.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Mum's going to take you away from the river bank
0:05:43 > 0:05:45for the very first time.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Stick together, now.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56Oh, and don't forget to watch out for that sneaky crocodile.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Mum's leading the way.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Quick hop up the river bank...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Right, now it's your turn.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Ooh...
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Well done.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20What about your brother?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Oh, dear.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26MUM GROWLS
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Come on, you can do it.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Maybe exploring isn't quite as easy after all.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35The slope is over five times his height.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42That's like you or me trying to jump to the top of a house.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Oh.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Good idea.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Use those vines to cling onto.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52And...
0:06:52 > 0:06:54he's up!
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Brilliant!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Time for a quick victory hug.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Now you can call yourself a proper explorer.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12# Andy's Baby Animals
0:07:12 > 0:07:13# Andy's Baby Animals! #
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Over in Hawaii...
0:07:17 > 0:07:22..when it comes to exploring, some baby animals aim really high.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30This minute fish is a goby fish,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32who's got an enormous challenge ahead.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It's got to get to this pool,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38which is full of food.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42But it's got to come all the way up...
0:07:42 > 0:07:44from down there.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I hope it's not scared of heights.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49It looks like Mission: Impossible.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52But this young explorer is a bit of an expert
0:07:52 > 0:07:54when it comes to rock climbing.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Special suckers in its mouth and on its belly
0:07:59 > 0:08:02help it to stick to super slippery wet rock.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Pretty clever, eh?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10This goby can climb waterfalls 100m high.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13That's like you climbing the highest mountain in the world...
0:08:13 > 0:08:15three times...
0:08:15 > 0:08:16in the pouring rain!
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Luckily, though,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23our little fish doesn't have to take on this tall task all alone.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26All these friends are coming too.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Whatever you do,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31don't look down, you lot!
0:08:35 > 0:08:38This is epic exploring.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Some go off-course.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Some have a rest.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Some just fall off...
0:08:53 > 0:08:56and have to start all over again.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03But our little goby is almost there.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Go, goby, go!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Done it!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14This little explorer is on top of the world.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23Leopard cubs, seal pups and gobies all learn to explore.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25As for Max and Marley here,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28they just can't stop exploring, can you?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Where've you gone?
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Marley?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33See you next time.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Marley!
