0:00:47 > 0:00:48Aw!

0:00:48 > 0:00:50ANDY CHUCKLES

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

0:00:52 > 0:00:56This is a baby pea fowl, or chick.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58We don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet.

0:00:58 > 0:01:03If it IS a boy, it will be a peacock. If it is a girl, a peahen.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'm just about to give it its breakfast.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10In the wild it will follow its mum about and learn what to eat.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Young animals have lots of clever ways to get their breakfast.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Let's go to California, in North America.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25Many animals rely on their parents to get breakfast for them.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30Like this sea otter pup. She and her mum are inseparable.

0:01:36 > 0:01:42But they can't play all day. It's time for breakfast. In you go, Mum.

0:01:46 > 0:01:51Now it's Pup's turn. She's not so keen.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Her pup does know how to swim, but it's much nicer getting

0:01:56 > 0:01:58a ride with Mum.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05She'll have to swim on her own if she wants to eat,

0:02:05 > 0:02:10because Mum needs to dive down into the seaweed to fetch food.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15The young pup hasn't learnt to dive yet.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19But she doesn't mind hanging around up here while Mum goes to

0:02:19 > 0:02:21rustle up some breakfast.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33Sea otters love to eat shellfish, like crabs, mussels and snails.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36And all of them are covered in a hard shell.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44Before they can eat, Mum has to find a way to crack the shell.

0:02:44 > 0:02:49Pay attention now, while Mum shows you how it is done.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55The side of a boat makes a pretty good shell cracker.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07The rocks aren't bad either.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Mmm, seafood.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Now it's time for her pup to try.

0:03:13 > 0:03:19She's got the right idea but that wood is much too soft

0:03:19 > 0:03:22so Mum shows her again.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23You see?

0:03:29 > 0:03:34Oh, dear, now the pup is using a rubber tyre.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36That's even softer than the wood.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39This could take a while.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Never mind, you won't go hungry.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Mum will keep getting breakfast until the pup

0:03:54 > 0:03:57has learned how to crack open shells herself.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00Good old Mum.

0:04:06 > 0:04:07# Andy's baby animals

0:04:07 > 0:04:09# Andy's baby animals. #

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Now let's fly over to Brazil.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17There are some baby animals on land who have to crack open

0:04:17 > 0:04:20a shell to get THEIR breakfast, too.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24These are infant capuchin monkeys.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28And they live high up on these cliffs in South America.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31Every morning,

0:04:31 > 0:04:34they have to go all the way down to the ground for breakfast.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Luckily, though, a baby capuchin can climb like...

0:04:38 > 0:04:41well, like little monkeys.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46And this is what they're after, their favourite food.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48It is called a nut palm.

0:04:51 > 0:04:56Well, that's breakfast sorted, then. Or is it?

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Because the yummy bit is in the middle.

0:05:01 > 0:05:07And the outside shell is very, very hard.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13The young monkeys have no idea how to get in.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Watch and learn, you lot.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21This grown-up looks like an ace nutcracker.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26And it's about to do something very clever.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31All it needs is a very heavy stone...

0:05:34 > 0:05:37..and...

0:05:40 > 0:05:43..kapow!

0:05:45 > 0:05:46Smash!

0:05:48 > 0:05:52Kaboom!

0:05:52 > 0:05:58Take that, nut. That is one capuchin monkey breakfast to go. Yum.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02I wonder how the young ones are getting on.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Ah, yes, what you have done there, see,

0:06:07 > 0:06:10is you've forgotten to use a stone.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Better. But try a bigger rock.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23Ah, now, that's more like it.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Oh.

0:06:26 > 0:06:31Nuts are packed full of energy so all this effort will be worth it.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32Oops.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Crumbs! This is one tough nut to crack.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45It takes most baby capuchins several years to become expert nut smashers.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53But when they do, it'll be nuts for breakfast every day.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59Oh, you clever little monkey, you.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08# Andy's baby animals Andy's baby animals. #

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Last stop is Kenya, in Africa.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Some baby animals don't need a stone to get breakfast.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18They just follow their noses.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25This mini force of nature is a baby elephant calf.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27She is a lively little ellie.

0:07:28 > 0:07:33Elephants are the biggest land animals in the world.

0:07:33 > 0:07:38But our little calf is the smallest one in this herd.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41She's just about four months old.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47It's breakfast time but little Ellie would rather have fun

0:07:47 > 0:07:48than eat.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56Not every animal wants to play with a rampaging elephant, though.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02A big animal needs a big breakfast.

0:08:02 > 0:08:07Elephants eat grass, twigs,

0:08:07 > 0:08:13leaves and almost entire trees.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20They use their super-long noses, called trunks,

0:08:20 > 0:08:24to pick the food up and pop it in their mouths.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30But learning to control such a large hooter isn't easy.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Trunks have lots of different muscles in them,

0:08:35 > 0:08:39more than we have in our whole bodies.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Little Ellie here is trying her best.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53But branches have a habit of springing back.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Careful you don't get that long trunk stuck in your mouth.

0:09:02 > 0:09:07Oh. But it doesn't matter if she can't get her own breakfast yet

0:09:07 > 0:09:11because she'll be drinking milk from Mum until she's three years old.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18So there is plenty more time for just nosing around.

0:09:21 > 0:09:27For an otter cub, a baby monkey or an elephant calf,

0:09:27 > 0:09:31learning to get breakfast means copying your mum and dad.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34I think this one is hungry. I better get it some breakfast.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36See you next time.
