0:00:47 > 0:00:49There we go.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Andy
0:00:50 > 0:00:53and this is a penguin chick.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55We don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet
0:00:55 > 0:01:00because it's too young to tell, so I'm going to name it Hungry One,
0:01:00 > 0:01:04because it is hungry for its favourite food - fish.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Yes, I know, there we go.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Now, penguins are fantastic at fishing.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14They don't have teeth, so they swallow the fish whole.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18In the wild, their mum and dad will feed them until they're old enough
0:01:18 > 0:01:23to fish themselves. I know, Hungry One, there we go.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Let the fishing lessons commence.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29First, we're off to Canada.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Look at that - bears.
0:01:37 > 0:01:43Not teddy bears, of course, grizzly bears.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Mum's got two young cubs
0:01:46 > 0:01:49and this is their home.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51It's beautiful, isn't it?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Some animals just eat plants.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Some just like to eat meat and some just eat fish
0:01:57 > 0:01:59but grizzlies aren't fussy.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02They eat all of them.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Today, Mum's taking her cubs on a fishing trip.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Have you packed your rods yet, guys?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16All you need now are some fish.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Mum's picked the perfect day for it...
0:02:22 > 0:02:25..because the river is full of fish.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Look at them all.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30These are salmon.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Every year, they swim up the river like this to lay their eggs.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39It's getting pretty crowded now,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42which is great for bears when they're going fishing.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Grizzlies can be a bit grumpy.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51They like to live on their own.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55But when the river is so full of fish,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58they don't mind getting together for a meal.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04All along the river, there are cubs out fishing with their mums.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15The best way to learn is to watch how Mum does it.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22The water's so clear here that the fish are easy to see.
0:03:23 > 0:03:29It's harder to spot them by the waterfall until they jump.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Whoops! Nearly!
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Some bears use their big front paws like dinner plates,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49ready to land a fish.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57For others, fishing's much simpler.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Straight into the mouth.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Yummy!
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Right, time to see what these cubs have learnt.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10First, they need to find a fish.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12There's one.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Oh-ho! That was close!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Don't give up.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21You can do it.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Oh, it's much harder than mum makes it look.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Got it! Well done!
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Oh, no! Slippery little things.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Don't worry, there's enough for everyone.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48That's it, you keep practising.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50# Andy's baby animals
0:04:50 > 0:04:53# Andy's baby animals... #
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Phew! Now we're off to Cambodia.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03This bird is a darter, an Oriental darter,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06and they are experts at fishing.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14Can you see that funny bend in the neck, like an S shape?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17It means they can use their beak like a spear,
0:05:17 > 0:05:22throwing their head forwards really fast to spike a fish.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Because of that squiggly neck, some people
0:05:25 > 0:05:27like to call them snake birds.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29ANDY HISSES
0:05:29 > 0:05:32They fish underwater,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36so they can dive making hardly any ripples at all.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38DARTERS SQUAWK
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Right, youngsters, ready for school? And today's first lesson - fishing.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49This is a funny school.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00That's just a leaf.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Up, up, up. Oop!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Well, where are the fish, then?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Oh, of course, they're practising a tricky manoeuvre.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25When they spear a fish, they need to flip it up and catch it headfirst.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Fish wriggle too much to practise on,
0:06:32 > 0:06:37so these youngsters are having a go on anything they can find.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47It's time to see if all that practice has paid off.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Look at that, a fishy treat.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Much nicer than a stick, I think you'll agree.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00# Andy's baby animals
0:07:00 > 0:07:03# Andy's baby animals... #
0:07:03 > 0:07:06We're off to see more youngsters in North America now.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15These beautiful animals are river otters.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Aren't they lovely?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Mum's got two young pups.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27They're sleek on land and totally at home in the water.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31That's it, guys, follow Mum.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37They have webbed feet, a strong tail and a long, narrow body.
0:07:38 > 0:07:44The grown-ups can hold their breath underwater for up to eight minutes.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47They're like super-powered submarines in the water.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Mum's taking her young pups on a fishing lesson...
0:07:59 > 0:08:03..and the best way for them to learn is by watching her.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08First, though, she's got to find the fish.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10She can use her whiskers.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14They pick up anything moving in the water and guide her to it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18It's like an otter sat nav.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Now, you two. Pay close attention
0:08:25 > 0:08:28while your mum shows you how to do this.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Look at her body. She's so bendy.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34She's twisting and turning all over the place.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's quite hard to keep up.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37PUPS CHIRP
0:08:37 > 0:08:40You'll be able to do this soon, you two.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Got one!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Good job, too.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Her pups are very hungry.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Now that she's caught it,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58it's time to find a good spot for everyone to tuck in.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Her pups are really young,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08so she'll eat the fish and they get to eat the eggs.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Yummy!
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Maybe next time it'll be your turn to catch supper.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22For bear cubs, otter pups, young darters and penguin chicks,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25to learn how to fish is very important.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Right, Hungry One, more fish?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Nope. I think he's full. See you next time.
