Oh, hey Blaster!
Nice to see you.
Well, hey there. Nice to see you too.
Blaster, what are we doing today?
Oh, animal adventure time!
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Sorry Blaster, are you dizzy?
Okay, sorry about that.
Okay, how does this work?
Oh, we're looking for animals today.
What type of animals?
Animals from all over the world.
This will be fun.
What's our first clue for our first animal, Blaster?
This is one of the fastest animals in the world.
And it's a type of cat.
I think I know what this is.
I'm ready to go.
Wait, what?
Oh, of course!
I need my adventure hat and my adventure jacket.
Thanks for the reminder, Blaster.
Hat and jacket, ready to go.
Now, let's go find our first animal.
Now, you know the rules.
If you see something, you gotta what?
That's right, Blaster.
Say something.
Okay, animals, where are you?
We're looking for a cat that goes very fast.
Okay, let's see if there are any cats in this bush.
Are there any cats here?
There's nothing behind here, Blaster.
Good try though.
Oh, what about under this tree?
Look under here.
This seems like a place a cat would be, but I don't see any.
This looks like a tail of a cat, which means...
Oh my, oh, look!
There's a mama cheetah and a baby cheetah hanging out in the trees.
Blaster, we were right here the whole time.
Wow, cheetahs can climb really good.
They can also run really fast.
We know that.
Looks like we found our first animal, but let's learn a little bit more about cheetahs.
Do you see the black spots on the cheetahs?
How many spots do you think one cheetah has?
200?
500?
Well, your typical cheetah has 2,000 spots and no two cheetahs have the same pattern of spots.
Now, you already know that cheetahs are one of the fastest animals in the world.
They can run between 50 and 80 miles per hour.
That's about how fast cars can go.
Now, cheetahs use that speed to hunt down their prey.
Look at this picture of a cheetah chasing her lunch.
Do you know what type of animal the cheetah is trying to catch?
Well, if you guessed warthog, you're right.
But warthogs aren't the only item on the cheetah's menu.
Cheetahs have been known to eat antelope, gazelles, birds, and rabbits.
And all of that running means cheetahs need a lot of sleep.
They typically sleep 12 hours at a time.
Have a good rest, cheetahs.
Mama cheetah, baby cheetah, you guys did great.
Let's add the cheetahs to our list, shall we?
All right, Blaster.
There they are.
Let's go to our next spot to find our next animal.
Here we go.
Oh, we're back in the desert.
And look at these jumping choyas.
Do you know why they call them jumping choyas, Blaster?
Well, I'll tell you.
They call them jumping choyas because these little tiny tops of the cactus
can easily fall off like they're jumping on you.
So we have to make sure that we stay a couple steps back from the jumping choyas.
But enough about the jumping choya.
What is our next clue for our next animal?
Oh, this animal is not a desert animal, even though we're in the desert.
And this animal is nocturnal.
New word alert, new word alert.
Did you hear me say the word nocturnal?
If an animal is considered nocturnal, it means they're most active at night.
Now you know what nocturnal means.
Awesome, Blaster.
So we're looking for an animal that doesn't live in the desert and is nocturnal.
Well, this will be pretty hard considering we're in the desert, Blaster.
That's OK.
We can do it.
Remember, if you see something, tell me.
There's a lot of cactus we have to avoid.
Prickly, prickly, prickly.
I don't see any animals here, Blaster.
Wow, look at the big saguaro cactus.
Look how tall it is.
I love saguaro.
Blaster, I see the animal you were talking about.
It's at the base of the saguaro cactus.
Do you see it?
There it is.
It's a little raccoon.
Here, little fella.
Let me pick you up.
Here we go.
There he is.
Oh, he's so cute.
I love raccoons.
They can be found all over the world.
Let's go learn more about these awesome animals.
Raccoon.
Two letters appear twice in the word raccoon.
Can you spot the letters?
Yes, the letter C and the letter O.
So let's spell raccoon.
R-A-C-C-O-O-N, raccoon.
Now, maybe you've seen athletes like football players
wear black grease or stickers under their eyes.
Well, that's so they don't get bothered by incoming light.
Well, raccoons have black fur under their eyes
and it kind of makes it look like they're wearing a black mask.
But this mask isn't a costume.
It serves an important function for these curious critters.
The black fur under their eyes absorbs incoming light
and reduces glare.
Who knew that athletes and raccoons had so much in common?
Now, people have five fingers and five toes on each hand and each foot.
Well, raccoons also have five toes on their front and back paws.
They can use their paws almost like we use our hands
to climb trees, grab food, or lift the tops off garbage cans.
So let's give a high five to these rambunctious raccoons.
Thanks for teaching us about raccoons.
All right, you can go right back here, Mr. Raccoon.
Blaster, let's add raccoon to our list of animals, please.
Nice, we're doing pretty good.
Now, what about our third animal?
Our third animal is extinct.
That's a pretty good clue.
But Blaster, instead of blasting to the next spot to look for this animal,
is there any other way we could travel?
You have an idea?
Stand up, okay.
All right, I trust you.
Here we go.
Whoa, a little horse.
And will this horse take us to our next location?
All right, well, here we go on the horse.
Whoa, easy, horsey, easy.
Okay, we made it to our next location.
Thanks, Mr. Horse.
Blaster, I don't think we need the horse anymore, though.
Much better.
Now we can go off and find our next animal.
It's an animal that's extinct.
But Blaster, I think we need another clue.
It's really big?
That's kind of a helpful clue.
We'll do our best, right?
A really large animal that's extinct.
Let's go try to find it.
Hmm, at this point, we should keep our eyes out
and our ears out in case we hear anything.
Anything under here, Blaster?
Nope.
Some pretty flowers, but those aren't animals.
Oh, and you can see all the bees.
They're feeding on the flowers.
That makes me happy because bees are really important for our ecosystem.
Thanks, bees.
Did you hear that, Blaster?
There's a roar coming from that direction.
Let's go find out what it might be.
Whoa, the roar is getting louder.
Can you hear it, too?
I don't see anything yet.
I do, I do.
I see something.
Look, it's a woolly mammoth.
Wow.
These used to live a long, long time ago,
and they have big tusks just like an elephant.
I would like to go learn more about woolly mammoths, Blaster.
Okay, here we go.
Woolly mammoths roamed thousands of years ago
during a time where sheets of ice covered large parts of the world.
This cold time on our planet was known as the Ice Age, and it was cold.
But woolly mammoths, they don't care about cold.
They were covered in two layers of fur.
Even their ears were lined with fur.
Related to elephants, the woolly mammoth had two large tusks
up to 14 feet long.
And these tusks were believed to be used to fight and dig up the ground,
allowing the woolly mammoth to feed on grass and other plants.
Now, I got a question for you.
If you had a woolly mammoth as a pet, what would you name your woolly mammoth?
I think I would name my woolly mammoth Cupcake.
Yeah, Cupcake.
Wow, I wish woolly mammoths were around today.
But because they're extinct, there are no more woolly mammoths left.
But they're still fun to learn about.
Thanks, woolly mammoth.
Thanks, Blaster.
I'm ready to add the woolly mammoth to our list of animals.
Here we go.
Nice.
But we still have one more animal to find.
Let's go see where it lives.
Whoa, we're in the middle of the ocean.
I guess that means our next animal must live here.
Well, I hope it's not too scary.
What's our first clue, Blaster?
A type of shark?
And what's our second clue, Blaster?
The most ferocious shark in the entire world?
I think I know what this one is.
Do you?
Well, Blaster, I hope we're safe because...
Oh, it's right in front of us.
A little baby great white shark.
Oh, he's not scary at all.
Hey, fella.
There you are.
Blaster, look at this guy.
He has huge teeth and rows of them that help him catch prey.
Wow.
I would love to go learn more about these awesome great white sharks.
The great white shark.
One of the most ferocious hunters of the ocean.
They have seven, yes, seven rows of sharp triangular teeth
that they use to catch and rip their prey.
Now, when these teeth fall out, the great white shark just grows new teeth.
In fact, a great white shark may lose and grow 30,000 teeth during their life.
And don't think for a second you're going to out swim a great white shark.
They can swim up to 35 miles per hour.
But don't be scared either.
Humans aren't on the menu for a great white shark.
Instead, these sharks prefer to eat fish, seals, sea lions, and other marine animals.
Now, sometimes when they're hunting, great white sharks will leap out of the ocean
up to 10 feet into the air.
If I was going to be any type of shark, I think I would want to be a great white shark.
One of the greatest animals ever.
Let's give a round of applause to the great white shark.
Well, let's put this great white shark back where it belongs in the ocean.
Here you go, Mr. Great white shark.
Off you go.
Wow, animals are my favorite.
And there are so many different types.
I'm sure we'll be back again with another animal adventure.
Thanks for being here.
And Blaster, thanks for taking us on this awesome adventure.
You're my favorite.
I hope you had fun.
And I hope you had a baa baa blast.
We'll see you on the next one.
Baa blast.
