-Zoboo!

-Hey! Zoboomafoo!

Zoboomafoo!

-Nice leaping Zoboo.

-Yeah! Look at thisplace, it's like a forest.

Just your kind of place.

-Zoboo's made forleaping through the trees.

His legs are builtespecially for tree leaping.

-That why he looksso funny when he triesto leap along the ground.

-His legs don't walk, they leap.

-And his mouthdoesn't talk, it eats.

Eats first, then talks.

Zoboo, broccoli.

Yeah, you lovebroccoli don't you buddy?

You can't have them all.

Just wait. Just take one, justtake one, there you go, yeah.

-ZOBOOOMAFOOOO!

Hi there!

Green is a yummycolour and Animal Junctionis looking yummier than ever.

Green creatures everywhere.

-And that's your favouritecolour, right Zob?

-Ohyeah, but I like all colours;blue, red, yellow, green.

Green, the creatureI saw was green.

-It was?

-Yeah, A funny, round,green creature. Who could it be?

♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see.

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

She was green and roundand hanging from a tree.

Then she fell off.

♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see.

She was smoothand round and yummy too.

♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see.

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

A smooth, green, yummy creature.

Do you know who she is?

-Green and round.

-smooth and round.

-It's Toothbrush!

-I named him Toothbrushbecause of his hairs.

They're like the hairs on thisthing you brush your teeth with.

-So Zoboo says themystery creature is ridingin his trunk. Let's see.

A lime. The mysterycreature is a lime!

-The mystery animalis here and she's a lime.

-Well, she's a greencreature. The trees are alive.

-This might not looklike a creature, but insidethis fruit there are creatures.

The seeds willgrow into a special treecalled a Mexican lime tree.

Now I think somebody right herewants the fruit. Down the hatch.

-All these creature are alive.

They just don't walkaround and talk like we do.

-Mangatsika!Brothers, my mind justhad the idea of the century.

You guys are alwaysbuilding machines, right?

Well today, I'm going to builda machine. I'm going to build

a machine that talksto plants. The green speaker.

All I need is some tools.

-Do you think you can do it Zob?

-It will be easy, easy...

-Do you really thinkZoboo can build a machinethat talks to plants?

Do you really think so Popcorn?A machine that talks to plants.

How are you doing Zob?

-Oh yeah, I'm almost done.

Popcorn, this is going to be thegreatest invention of all time.

Soon we'll be talking to plants.

I just know theseplants have a lot to say.

Yeah, you do too.

I can't wait!

Stand back, 'cause here I go.

Finished. Kinkajous, binturongsand monkeys, it's finished.

The greatest lemur inventionof all time, The Green Speaker.

Watch my machine Popcorn.

Now listen, whilethe plants talk to me.

Hello plants.

How are you?

Uh, nothing.

-Well you know, don'tworry about it Zoboo.

Here, let's plant these limeseeds. Here, here's one for you.

Come on.

-I thought thiswas going to work.

-Why don't you plantthe seed here? Good soil.

-Ha! You're talking.My green machine worked!

-Hey, down here.

If you plant mein here and help me grow,I'll give you a surprise.

-Well of course.

I love surprises. Surprisesare my favourite kind of prizes.

You just tell mewhat to do, right. I'll justcall you, uh, Seedprize.

-Thanks.

-You're welcome.Chris, come here, the plants arealive! Listen, they're talking!

-Well, anything canhappen in Animal Junction.

But I don't hear anything Zoboo.

-Well,he said if I help him grow,he would give me a surprise.

-Okay, well, there are threethings a plant needs to grow.

Sunlight,

good soil

and water.

-Well what abouthere. There's lots of sunlightand the soil looks really good.

-Don't forget water Zoboo.

-Okay, water coming up.

Do your stuff Toothbrush.

-Toothbrush!

-Oh, nice sh*t Toothbrush!

-He got me.

-You know what?

Now that the little seedhas what he needs to grow,

I can have a leaf snack break.

Hey, oh hi! Who are you?

-He's a two-toedsloth Zoboo, and he loveseating green creatures.

He eats leaves and bark.

-He moves so slow.

Heh, that givesmy mind an idea. That'swhat I'll call you. Slow.

Mangatsika! There's anotherone. I'll call him Slower.

-Good name Zoboo, that'sbecause sloths take their time.

They just movearound very slowly.

The big reason for this,is that they have to conserve

energy to digestall the leaves they eat.

-Well green is a yummycolour isn't it! Dig in.

-Easy guys,easy. I need those leaves,that where I make my food.

-The trees are alive!

-We're always alive. Butwe need those leaves so we can

turn soil, sunlightand water into food thatmakes us grow, like that,

only we grow much slower.

-Wow, so that's how you do it.

But we need yourleaves to grow too.

Well eh, how about if, Slowand I, we eat a few leaves here

and then we move on to atree over there; then there will

be plenty of leaves left.

-Good plan.

-Hey Martin! Come here, quick!

-What Zoboo?

-Listen.

-What?

-Well he was talking.

-Who? The sloth.

-No, no, no, thetree. Lemur's honour.

-The tree was talking?

-Yeah!

You heard him didn't you?

Fling, did you hear him?

-Zoboo, come here.

-What?

-Do you know who thisis? Your seed, he's growing.

-Seedprize, look atyou. You're all grown up.

Oh I want to talk to him.Where is the green speaker.

Green speaker?

-Fling. Flinghas your green speaker!

Oh no.

Oh no, no. Fling don'tthrow it or it will break.

-I'll get it.

Got it!

-Phew, that was close.

If the greenspeaker broke, I'd never beable to talk to Seedprize

again and then, I'd neverfind out what the surprise is.

Thanks Chris.

-Do you think thisgreen speaker really works?

-Of course, yeah.

Wow, hmm!

-Zoboo, yourtree grew even more.

-I'm a mangatsika tree growerand I didn't even know it.

And it's a good thingI like surprises cause

that's what I'm going toget for helping Seedprize grow.

What do you think kinkajou?

-Oh wait, let's see.

He loves it.

The kinkajou loves it.

And trees only growthis fast in Animal Junction.

-Yeah.

-Hey! He's intoyour machine too.

Zoboo, look at this.

Here's a surprise for you.

Your tree grew flowers.

-Oh yeah!

They make Seedprize look nice.

-But not only thatZoboo, check out this flower.

See these stocks withthe yellow bulbs on top.

-Oh yeah.

-They're calledstamens and they make theyellow stuff called pollen.

Now the pollen has to get fromone plant to the next plant,

so that the plantscan make more seeds.

-You better get going, pollens.

-To get going, theyneed help from pollinators.

-Kinkajous aregreat pollinators.

A kinkajou loves toeat nectar from a flower.

So he sticks his head in,and do you know what happens?

He gets all ofthe pollen on his head.

And then when he goesover to another flower,

he brings that pollenwith him and the pollen gets

stuck on thislittle red thing there.

And now this flowerhas everything it needs tomake seeds to make new plants.

-There area lot of different pollinatorsin the creature world.

Like butterflies

and bugs

and bees.

Bees have really hairy bodiesthat a lot of pollen sticks to.

And then, theygo over to the next flower andsome of that pollen falls off.

-Zoboo, now I needpollen so I can make seeds.

-The tree's alive.Brothers come quick.

-What Zob?

-Seedprize justasked me to get some pollenso she can grow some seeds.

Listen!

-I don't hear anything.

-Oh no. Not again.Well you heard her right?

-Well Zoboo, ifyou want to keep trying to

help the tree growso you can find out what the

surprise is, why don't youstart pollinating like a bee.

-Well okay, justcall me Zo-bee; get it?

Zo-bee, 'cause I'm a bee.

And I'm feeling kinda bee-ish.

♪I feel different Not the same

♪This kind offeeling I can't explain

♪There's onlyone thing that I can do

♪I feel bee-ish How 'bout you?

Bee-ish

I feel bee-ish

Bee-ish

A striped little buzzermoving pollen all around!

Bee-ish!

-Zo-bee the pollinatoris finished and Zoboo thelemur is ready for his surprise.

-Zoboo's green speaker.Fling's flinging it again.

-Oh no!

-I'll get it!

-Nice save Martin.

-Thanks Zoboo.

-I hope nothing'sbroken because I wouldn'tbe able to talk to the

plants anymore and I'd neverfind out what their surprise is.

-I think you're gettingit right now Zoboo.

Look.

-Zoboo's tree grewlittle limes. Look at them.

But that's not all.

Hang on.

-Fruit's falling!Fruit's falling!

-It's fruit surprisesfrom all the green creatures.

Treats for all of us.

Dig in everybody.

-Green creaturesmake the yummiest things.

It's good, huh?

Look at the huge bites thekinkajou takes out of this pear.

Wow! Another creature who loveswhat green creatures can do.

-That's the yummiestsurprise I've ever seen!

-Here's a question for you.Does an elephant peel a banana?

He mushes it up in his truck,but he eats it, peels and all.

-Fling likes fruitfrom the banana tree.

Lookat how he puts it in his mouthand then spits it out again.

Fling doesn't liketo waste any banana.

Nowyou know, when you think aboutit, whenever you eat fruit,

you're eating somethingthat a green creature gave you.

-Did I ever tell youabout the time we almost ran outof goobleberries in Zobooland?

I was leaping along.

leap, leap, leap,

when I almost leapt

right into Wiggy Waxwing.

What's the matter with everyone?

-We're hungry Zoboo.

-Yeah,there's only one goobleberrybush left for all of us.

-Just one.

Must eat, must eat, must eat.

-Oh no! Gooble's goingto eat all the goobleberries.

Never fear, Zoboothe Super Lemur is here.

Oh wait, wait, wait Gooble,

inside these goobleberryfruits are seeds.

If we plant these seedsin the ground, a whole new

goobleberrybush will grow and we'llhave lots of goobleberries.

-Yeah.

-But how are wegoing to plant them then?

I can't digwith these small arms.

-I can dig holes.

-Great idea Noggendrill.

So I called Bugly andjumped on his back with a

pile of goobleberrieswith Narchi underneath.

So while Noggendrilldug holes, I loaded Narchi's

noseand he blew goobleberriesin all the littleholes all over Zobooland.

Gooble kicked the dirtover the seeds and before

long new goobleberriesgrew all over Zobooland.

-It worked!

-The Super Lemur savedthe day with his brains.

-I love that lemur.

-And everyone hadlots to eat. The End.

-You have great stories Zoboo.

-Green creatureshave great surprises.

Green creatures arethe greatest creatures around.

-Yeah, even thoughthey don't talk.

-They do talk. Passme the green speaker.

-Oh no!

It's smashed.

-Well, don't worry aboutit Zoboo, you learned so much

about plants today, didn't you?

-Besides, maybe the plantsonly wanted to talk to you.

-Yeah!

Maybe.

Only us.

-Incoming!

-Duck!

-It's not a duck.It's Moonface, the barn owl.

-Hi Moonface!

-Moonface, do you like apples?

-He doesn't eat fruit Zoboo.

But a toucan does. Beaks up.

-Nice catch Toucan.

Well,maybe Moonface can't do that,but he does have a message.

-From the Animal Helpers.

-Hi guys, hi Zoboo, Amy here.

I love strawberries,so I planted some in my garden.

I watered themand took care of them.

And now they'reripe and ready to pick.

Mmmm! And boy they're good.

Oh! I see somebodyelse who loves strawberries.

I'd better not eat them all.

Because today I'm helpingmy mom make strawberry jam.

And you know what thebest part about making jam is?

Eating it!

-Green creatures help everybody.

-Yup! And now it'syour turn to help them Zoboo.

-Okay, I can do that.

Hey Popcorn! I broughtall the grapes you can eat.

Here, help yourself.

Yeah! Yummy huh!

Dig in.

Red is a yummy colour.

Oh! Excuse me.Here, want some more?

-When you've eaten the fruit,you're ready to plant the seeds.

'Cause when a creature eatsfruit, she eats the seeds too.

Then she carries theseeds in her body, to another

part of the forest, and dropsthe seeds off, in her poop.

And that's whereanother tree will grow.

So animals help plantsby moving their seeds around.

-See you Popcorn.

I think Popcorn's goingto drop off Seedmore right now.

-Seedmore?

-Yeah! That's what I namedthe seed that Popcorn ate.

-Well let's follow Popcornand see where she puts Seedmore.

-But first, to the closet.

-Sounds like a trip to me.

♪They're going to thecloset. They're going on a trip.

♪They're going to the closet.To grab their stuff and split.

-It's now or never.

-Do it brother!

-Hey, yeah. All right!

♪They're goingon a cool adventure. And theydon't know what's in store.

♪They're coming fromthe closet. And they'reheaded out the door.

-See you later Zoboo.

-Bye brothers. And I'llbe fixing the green speaker.

-Well, we made it to India.

-And if Popcorn's heading home,he should be just up ahead.

-I can't see anything.

-I can't either.It's thick in here.

-Where do we go?

-Look out. Whoooa!

-Didn't see that one coming!

-But look what wefound. An old Indian ruin!

-Wow! Let's check it out.

Big doors locked.

-But the littledoor's open. Come on!

This place is awesome!

-You're telling me!

-Wow. This fortress wasbuilt over a thousand years ago.

-That's a lot of years.

-But now, it's deserted,by people anyway.

-And since there are nohuman creatures here anymore,

the green creaturesare coming back.

They're taking overand making a forest again.

-Look at the waythe fig tree wraps itself

around the pillar and sendsit's roots down into the ground.

-And look at this.

Check out how the rootsfind their way through the

cracks and go inand out of the building.

They'll go throughanything to get to the soil.

-Listen.

It's coming from inside!

-Let's take a look.

Bats.

They're tomb bats.

And there are aboutthirty of them living inthis ancient school house.

Amazing! It's their home now.

-And you know what?

Green creatures aremaking it possible for all

sorts of other creaturesto move in and makethis fortress their homes.

-Langur monkeys.Jumping from tree to tree.

Wild dogs on therun through the forest.

Andthe tiger camouflagedin the grass.

And the wild pig, rootingin the soil for food.

A lot of creatures lovethese ber fruits and by eatingthem, they plant more seeds.

Let's help thesecreatures plant more seeds.

-So even morecreatures can grow.

-Ber ball?

-Ber ball.

Nice sh*t!

-Thanks!

Let's see your swing Chris.

-All right.

Whoa!

Hole in one.

-Take that.

-I've been workingon my short game.

Yeah!

-Whoa, yeah!

-Right in the pocket.

-Sunk it!

Next sh*t is the winner.

-Missed.

-At the buzzer.

-Missed!

-Ooh!

Score?

-Who made the winning basket?

-Wasn't me.

-Wasn't me.

-Popcorn!

-Hey, you wonthe ber ball game buddy.

-And Seedmore won too.

-Happy growing Seedmore.

-Let's head backto Animal Junction.

-Great! I'm starving!

-I wonder what Zoboo's up to?

-Let's find out.

Zoboo?

Where are you buddy?

-Shhh!

-Pizza!

-Spaghetti!

-Yum!

-Hey brothers! I got you.

-We fell for the oldesttrick in the creature world.

-Good one Zoboo.

-Thanks! I didit just like my pal.

I'll be right back.

How was that Venus?

-Perfect. I'llshow you what I do again.

See that fly?

I'll catch him.

-Mangatsika! Brothers comequick, the plants are alive.

This plant here can catchflies just like I caught you.

-Well, let us out of here Zob!

-Oh yeah!

-Thanks Zob!

-Wow! Venus flytraps!

-Yeah, and Venus justshowed me how to trap a flyand she just trapped a fly.

Well, tell him Venus.

Oh no!

Not again.

-I don't know aboutplants talking Zoboo,

but I know whatyou're talking about.

See that water in there,those are sugary dropletsthat flies love to eat.

That's why theVenus Flytrap makes them,to attract the flies in.

-Well that's why I put pizzaand spaghetti out for you guys,

'cause I knowyou like to eat it.

-And it worked.

And when a fly comesin to get the sugar, his legs

touch the inside ofthe plant, and that's when the

jaw-like thingsof the Venus Flytrap snapsshut and she catches the fly.

-Why do these plantsneed to eat flies?

I thought you said plantsonly need soil, sunlight

and water and theycan make their own food.

-Your right Zoboo, but VenusFlytraps live in areas where

there isn'tmuch nutrients in the

soil, so they eat fliesto get their nutrients.

-Wow!

-Do you wantto see her do it again?

Pretend this is a fly.

-Wow! Nice catch.

Green creatures are amazing!

Hey! That remindsme of a special berry thatgrows on Mount Zoboomafoo.

-Really.

-In Zobooland.

I was leaping along,

leap. leap. leap.

when I bumped right into Sensit.

I said, "Hello Sensit".

-Hi Zoboo. I'm worried.

Really worried.

-What's wrong?

-I can't find my little sisters.

Can't find them anywhere!

Even my supersenses can't find them.

-If we were taller than thetrees, we'd see them for sure.

-But we're not taller.

-We will be.

Hey Snow Lemur!Do you have a growberry!

-Sure Zoboo.

one growberry, coming up.

eh. down.

Here it comes.

watch out.

-There, one foryou and one for me.

So we ate the growberriesand we grew bigger and bigger.

We grew so giant that we couldsee clear across Zobooland.

-There they are. My littlesisters! They're with Fibby.

-Here Sensit,have a shrinkberry.

So we shrunk back to normal sizeand went over to Fibby's pool.

-I found them! Thanks Zoboo!

-Anytime Sensit.

Sometimes it'sgood to grow tall.

-And sometimesit's good to be small!

-THE END.

I just lovethose green creatures.

Right Zoboo?

AND NOW A JOKEFROM ZOBOOMAFOO...

- DID YOU KNOW THATAN ELEPHANT'S TRUNK

IS THE LONGEST NOSEIN THE WORLD?

AND AN ELEPHANT CAN DOALOT WITH THAT TRUNK.

FIRST OF ALL, ANELEPHANT DRINKS

BY SUCKING WATERINTO HER TRUNK

AND THEN SQUIRTING ITUP INTO HER MOUTH.

AND WHEN SHEGOES SWIMMING,

AN ELEPHANT USES HERTRUNK TO BREATHE.

SHE STICKS IT OUT OF THEWATER JUST LIKE A SNORKEL.

AND OF COURSE, THERE'S NOTHINGBETTER ON A HOT SAVANNAH DAY

THAN A COOLING DUST BATH,

WITH DUST BLOWN OUTBY THAT TRUNK.
