0:00:16 > 0:00:19We've come to meet some children who can tell us
0:00:19 > 0:00:22about some of the wildlife here.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Some of the animals here cannot be found anywhere else.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29- Ferne, what are you up to today? - I'm meeting a new friend
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and we're going on a wildlife spotting adventure.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26SHIP HORN BLARES
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Today, I am on the volcanic island of Fernandina,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35the third largest island in the Galapagos.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38I'm going to meet Moz and his dad, Godfrey. Let's find them.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43The island of Fernandina is a very special place.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47It's a volcano, so the ground is made up of black volcanic rock.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51It's not suitable for people to live on this island
0:01:51 > 0:01:52but lots of animals do.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Many of them can't be found anywhere else in the world.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06- Hola, Moz.- Hola, Ferne. - Lovely to meet you.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- You must be Moz's dad, Godfrey. - Yes.- Lovely to meet you.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Very nice to meet you. - I have heard so much about you.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Moz's dad has spent years studying the Galapagos animals,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22especially those in Fernandina. This island looks incredible.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Shall we explore around? - Yeah!- Come on!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32The most famous animal that lives on Fernandina Island
0:02:32 > 0:02:37is the marine iguana. It's a very big lizard that can swim in the sea.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40It can only be found in the Galapagos Islands.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45There are loads of other amazing animals that live here.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Hopefully, we'll see some today.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Let's see what we can find.- Right.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Let's have a look. This place is amazing, isn't it, Moz? Look, look!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- What's that?- A fur seal.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07A fur seal, and it's come out of the water.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Aren't they beautiful?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13SEAL BARKS
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Fur seals got their names because their fur is really thick.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20When it's sunny, they need to hide under rocks
0:03:20 > 0:03:24so they don't get too hot, which is what this one is doing.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- I can see some more there! - Let's go see.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Look here! He's having a bath.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37And look, there's a little baby!
0:03:37 > 0:03:41What's here? Oh, look!
0:03:41 > 0:03:43SEAL BARKS
0:03:47 > 0:03:49How amazing is that?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00There's another baby! Can you see the baby on the rocks?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04This time of year is when they all start having their pups.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08This place is filled with pups. It's absolutely amazing!
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Look, Moz, a fur seal swimming pool.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Wow!- Wow!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Isn't this amazing? Can you see them all swimming, Moz?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30There's lots of babies in there.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Do you think they're learning how to swim?
0:04:34 > 0:04:40They go boom, and they go inside the water.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44They're very fast at swimming, aren't they?
0:04:46 > 0:04:52- This little one here crawling up is having a bit of a rest.- So cute.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Moz, look. Look, it's a hawk.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09There's one more over there.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Is there another one?- There.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16This is the Galapagos hawk and it can also only be found here,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20in the Galapagos. On this island, it is the top predator.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It will eat anything that will fit in its mouth,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27from lava lizards to young iguanas and even other birds.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30It is this animal that all the other animals need to keep
0:05:30 > 0:05:34a careful watch-out for. It's incredible.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Moz, what are these? Are they crabs? - Yes.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02- What colour are they? - Red crabs. My favourite colour.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08These beautifully coloured crabs are called Sally Lightfoot crabs
0:06:08 > 0:06:11because they skedaddle across rocks and water.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13They're really quick.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- How do they move?- Going side like this.- Just like this?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Do they go like this?
0:06:28 > 0:06:33It's a bit of a scuttle, isn't it? Tch-tch-tch.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- How do they eat their food? - They do...
0:06:39 > 0:06:41And...
0:06:44 > 0:06:48The grown-ups are these beautiful colours.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52They have reds and oranges on their backs and lovely blue tummies.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56But the young ones are quite dark - the same colour as the rocks,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00to hide them from predators. But as they get older and stronger,
0:07:00 > 0:07:04there's less things that can eat them, so they can be more colourful.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07We've seen some amazing wildlife on Fernandina.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Rory, what else is special about this island?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Well, Ferne,
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Fernandina is one of 13 major islands
0:07:19 > 0:07:22that are part of the Galapagos Islands.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Fernandina is a protected island and so is the sea around it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34This means that very few people are allowed to visit the island,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38so the animals and where they live are left undisturbed.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43There are animals that live here
0:07:43 > 0:07:46that cannot be found anywhere else on Earth.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50This is why it's protected. It's an incredibly special place.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58My pet and me!
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Look, Moz, what are they?- Turtles.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Shall we say hello to the turtles? Say, "Hola". Hola.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I think they are green turtles.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Green turtles are only found in a few places around the world
0:08:21 > 0:08:25and it is rare to see them snoozing on a beach like this.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28They can sleep under water, which they do most of the time.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32They can swim really fast - even faster than we can run.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37They're so wonderful. They can live to be 80 years old.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- Moz, how many turtles are there? - I can see one, two, three.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44That's right. Three.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47They're up on the sand, having a bit of a snooze.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52The turtles are resting or basking,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54which means they come up and lie in the sun
0:08:54 > 0:08:57to warm up after having a swim in the sea.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I love the turtles.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03They're amazing!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Moz, this is a really big surprise.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Look at this. Moz, there's a penguin. Can you see?
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Penguin! Here we must stay. We don't want to scare the penguin.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- OK, so shall we stay here and look at it?- Yes.
0:09:21 > 0:09:27- What colour is it, Moz? Can you tell me the colours?- Black and white.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- Yeah. I love penguins.- Me too.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I can't believe we get to see one, Moz.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Galapagos penguins are so rare and we are really lucky to see one.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Most people think penguins only live in cold places
0:09:42 > 0:09:46but it is quite warm here, and what allows the penguins to live here
0:09:46 > 0:09:48is because the sea is so cold
0:09:48 > 0:09:54and a cold sea means lots of fish for them to eat. They're amazing.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01My pet and me!
0:10:11 > 0:10:15We have found a lovely little colony of flightless cormorants.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- Aren't they beautiful, Moz? - Yes.- Yes, they are.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24- What colour is that one's feet? Can you see the feet?- Black.
0:10:24 > 0:10:30- They've got black feet. Are they big feet?- Yes, huge!
0:10:30 > 0:10:36- He's standing on one leg! - Yes, he's doing one feet.- Yeah.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40How big are his wings?
0:10:40 > 0:10:46- They're very small, but they're beautiful, aren't they, Moz?- Yes!
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Flightless cormorants are very rare
0:10:49 > 0:10:52and they can only be found on two islands in the Galapagos -
0:10:52 > 0:10:55on Fernandina and Isabela. Over many years,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58they lost their ability to fly and their wings shrank
0:10:58 > 0:11:02because there are very few predators here that can get them
0:11:02 > 0:11:05and it's so warm here with plenty of food,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08so there is no reason for them to fly anywhere for winter.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Look at their little wings.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15They're about a third of the size they'd need to fly. They're tiny.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- What about that one down there? - They're looking for fish.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- They go swimming for fish.- Yes.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Flightless cormorants' feathers aren't waterproof,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32so they need to spend a long time drying out after swimming
0:11:32 > 0:11:35and there's one doing it right there.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40- What's your favourite thing about them?- Their blue eyes.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- They have beautiful blue eyes, don't they?- Yes.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46- Do you like them?- Yes.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52If the flightless cormorants could do absolutely anything, Moz,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54what would they do?
0:11:59 > 0:12:05If flightless cormorants could go anywhere,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09they'd go in a hot-air balloon.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16They would float over the islands
0:12:16 > 0:12:22and see how it feels like to fly.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28They would dive out of the balloon basket
0:12:28 > 0:12:33to catch some fish for their tea.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Yum, yum!
0:12:47 > 0:12:50BIRDS SQUAWK
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Moz, what are these?
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- Blue-footed boobies. - Blue-footed boobies.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01There are loads, aren't there?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- They've got big blue feet, like this.- Yes.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- And they've got really big wings, don't they?- Yes.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Wow! Are they good at flying?- Yes.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Like that!- Wow! Wow, yes, look at them.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Whoa!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Look at them! Look at those feet!
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Look at that colour. It's amazing! It's so blue.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Are some of them on nests, Moz? - Yes.- OK.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53And you can see some of them sitting on eggs, Moz.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55When they go to sit on their eggs,
0:13:55 > 0:14:00they put their blue feet on top of them and sit down very gently.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04They have their feet on top of the eggs so the eggs don't get too hot.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Very clever.
0:14:10 > 0:14:16- A young one!- Which, that one?- Yes! - Shall we go have a look?- Yes.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- How do you know that it's young, Moz?- Cos it's white.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- OK, so the babies are white and fluffy.- Yes.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27The babies stay with their mum and dad for the first few months
0:14:27 > 0:14:30until they are strong enough to survive on their own.
0:14:30 > 0:14:37- Look!- Ah. But it's feet aren't blue yet, are they?- No, white.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40When blue-footed boobies are born, their feet are white.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44As they get older, their feet start to turn blue.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53- That one has got blue.- Yeah, do you think that's his mummy or daddy?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55That's mummy.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03- There's one with two babies. Do you see the two babies?- Wow!- Just there.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08- They're tiny, only this big.- Yes. - So fluffy. I really like the babies.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Look there.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16They're stretching out their wings, so they can learn to fly.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22They're practising the babies to fly.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25That's very important, isn't it?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Look at the ground, Moz. Why is it all white?
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Blue-footed boobies do caca with white.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38So, all those rocks are white because of their poo.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Would you like to live in a poo colony?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Don't think so.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50We can find some birds that can dance.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Oh, yes, I would love to see some dancing.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58- Whereabouts, Moz?- This way. - On the other side?- Yes.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- The other side.- Let's go have a look for some dancing.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Look, what are they doing?- Dancing.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Look at their big tails. They've got their tails up
0:16:26 > 0:16:29and they're walking around like this - very slowly.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Look at the way they walk. Because of their big feet, is it like this?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Like this.- Bit difficult, isn't it, cos their feet are so big.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47It's quite clumsy-looking, isn't it?
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Moz, they go like this. Tch-tch-tch.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- They go like this.- Tch-tch-tch.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57They're beautiful! Moz, what are they doing now?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Are they stretching their wings?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03They stretch their wings when they dance. They go...
0:17:06 > 0:17:11They move their heads at the exact same time. They bow to each other.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- They're very polite birds.- Yes.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17What noise do they make? It's kind of a...
0:17:17 > 0:17:18FERNE SQUAWKS
0:17:18 > 0:17:20MOZ SQUAWKS
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I love their dance, Moz.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I have never seen a blue-footed boobie before
0:17:27 > 0:17:30and their feet are incredible.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I love that colour. And I even got to see them dancing.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Moz, I have had the most amazing time with you.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44You've shown me so many animals. Thank you very much. Put it there.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Pff!
0:17:48 > 0:17:50My pet and me!
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Hi, Rory, what have you been up to?
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- I have been for an awesome snorkel. How was your day?- Incredible.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I went to an island and saw a bird who can't fly
0:18:02 > 0:18:05and another bird that does an amazing dance.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Wow, that sounds brilliant!- It was.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- Moz taught me lots about them. It was fascinating.- Awesome.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15We hope you enjoyed it. We love sharing animal adventures with you.
