Listen.

Pretty quiet Huh?

-Zoboo, are youready for a treasure hunt?

You know Zoboo. Nosound until he's had a snack.

Broccoli.

Zoboo loves broccoli.

Did you ever notice that Zoboowiggles his nose when he eats?

-Yeah, it's kinda like this.

-Excuse me.

Zobooomafoooo!

Hi! I'm voky.

My belly is fullof broccoli and my mindis filled with a question.

What's a treasure hunt?

-Well there are clueshidden around Animal Junction

and when you find allthe clues, you will be able

to figure out wherethe secret treasure is hidden.

That's a treasure hunt.

-Mangatsika!

Treasures.

Likea whole lot of garbanzo beans,nothing but garbanzo beans?

-Yeah!

Imagine Zoboo as a piratefinding a treasure chest.

-Dire me treasure,

all the garbanzobeans in the world.

Martin, Martin.

Martin, Martin.

-Huh?

-I'm ready forthe treasure hunt.

-All right.

-But I need some help.

Well you look smart,

can you helpme find the treasure?

Thanks.

Now we just have towait for two more helpers.

-Who?

-I don't know,I saw them outside.

Who could it be?

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

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

She had a pointy noseand furry pointy ears too.

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

She was a reallycurious creature,

always tryingto figure things out.

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

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

-Two furry curiouspointy nosed creatures.

Do you know who they are?

Let's see.

Grey and furry.

-A little red on their face.

-White spot on their tail.

-Zooming all around.

What amazing creatures!

-Mystery animal is here.

-Wow!

Incredible.

You might be saying "Why is hecalled a red fox if he's grey?"

Well, red foxkits start out grey

and then they turnred as they grow older.

You can see he's got a littlebit of red around his eyes.

And when he turns sixmonths old, he'll be all red.

Go buddy,

ready, wrestle.

-You know a fox is oneof those amazing creatures

you might seeno matter where you live

because there are somany different species of fox

all around the world andthey are so incredibly adaptable

they can livepretty much anywhere.

In the country,

in the rain forest,

in cities wherever peoplemight be, you might find a fox.

Oh, but you have tobe quick because they are fast

even when they are that young.

Look at them go.

-I don't have to look,I can feel that tickles.

Hey Chris, this fox livesright outside, I saw his home.

-Great we're neighbours.

Youknow, foxes live around humanneighborhoods lots of the time.

-Oops! You okay?

He's okay.

-He's fine, yeah,

there he goes

and check out those moves.

Quickness is everythingto a red fox.

Red fox haveto be quick to survive.

They have to befast to catch their food

and they have to be fastto stay away from their enemies.

These fox are quick, they'resupercharged little canines.

-Foxes are great creaturesto help with our treasure hunt.

They're really smartand sometimes they evenhide their own treasures.

You see, sometimes aftera fox has caught her meal,

she either goes somewhereelse to eat it or

she finds a place to hide it.

Her hiding placeis called a cache.

Later, when she's hungryagain, she'll come back

for her hiddenfood and dig it up.

That's why foxes will be greathelpers in our treasure hunt.

-Mangatsika, that's smart.

I'll call you Smart Fox

and you'll be Treasure Hunter.

Okay brothers, we'reready to search for treasure.

Let the treasure hunt begin.

Look! They'resniffing everywhere.

-Yeah Zob, a fox hasan incredible sense of smell,

about thirty timesbetter than a human.

Hey, they're on to something.

-I knew they could do it.

-This is great because TreasureHunter found the first clue.

You see a clue is onthe back of these puzzle pieces

-And once you findall the puzzle pieces

you can put themtogether to make a picture

and that will show youwhere the treasure is hidden.

-Okay read thefirst clue, we're ready.

-Here it is, goup high, close to the sky

where you canthrow a big orange ball

and a chimp got alittle tangly if you recall.

-Hmmm!... Whereyou can throw a ball.

Yeah the basketball, thatthing up in the crow's nest.

Oh there is Teeny.

Hey Teeny, can you take careof this puzzle piece for me?

I have to go tothe crow's nest and find thefirst clue of the treasure.

Thanks Teeny.

Meet you atthe crow's nest Chris.

-I'm there.

-Oh hi!

Mangatsika you're grey?

You must be the hidden treasure,the hidden creature treasure.

-He's a silver hairedbat Zoboo, he's not the

treasurewe hid but he definitelyis a creature treasure.

-Wow!

Mangatsika, a littlesilver haired bat.

I'm gonna call you Shadow.

-He's been coming every dayfor the past few weeks Zoboo,

I think he's tryingit out as a place to live.

There he goes.

-Yeah.

-Sliver haired batslive in North America

and a silver hairedbat roosts in trees either

under the barkor in holes in trees.

Now you know batslive in all sorts of places,

a cave,

a church belfry,

an old toweror even people's roofs.

-Mangatsika, people are luckyto have bats living near them!

-That's right Zob,a little bat like this

can eat three hundredmosquitoes in a single night.

So if you don't likegetting bitten by mosquitoes,

a bat is a greatneighbour to have.

-Bats are greatcreature neighbours.

-Wow!

Look at him go.

-I can't believe my mind.

Creature neighboursare creature treasures.

Mangatsika, SmartFox, Treasure Hunter,

-With another clue on the back.

-Great!

-I'll read it to you Zoboo.

This place is full of gear,

for adventure far and near.

But when you gothere, you better beware.

-I think I know where to go.

-Yeah!

-Here you go Teeny.

Thanks pal.

-The snack machine.

There,

so I take one step to the right,

now the next clueshould be right here.

I don't see a clue...

but I hear something.

Do you hear that?

Well Smart Foxand Treasure Hunter do.

Well let's see.

Oh look,

we found somemore creature treasures

and a puzzle piece.

-All right Zoboo?

These are coyote pups andthey're creature neighbours too.

-Wellof course, creature neighboursare creature treasures.

-They're onlythree weeks old Zoboo.

-Wow they're tiny.

Welcome to AnimalJunction creature neighbour.

-Yeah! And you shouldnever get too close to coyotes

or their pups, but anythinggoes in Animal Junction.

Great job findingthe puzzle piece Zob.

-Hey you want tothrow it over to Teeny?

-All right, here you go Teeny.

-Hey Martin,

these coyotes are good players,

they're crawling all over me.

-Yeah!

Look at his grey eyes,

they will probablychange colour as he grows,

usually to brown.

Little tiny coyote paws,

look at the littleclaws, it's amazing,

but those littlepaws will get a lot bigger,

he'll need them to pounce

on his prey.

So you know what the pupsare doing now, they're playing

to practice their hunting skillsbecause when they get older,

hunting is abig part of survival.

-What do theycatch when they pounce?

-Rodents, birds, snakes,whatever is pounce-able.

-Mangatsika!

Now that I have foundall the pieces of the puzzle,

I need all thecreature neighbours to helpme find the treasure chest.

Everybody meetover at Teeny's bed.

Come on everybody, we'regoing to find a treasure.

-All right Zob, justput the puzzle pieces together

and it will showyou where the treasure is.

-Let's see now, wheredo you think this one goes?

-Now, let's see.

-Oh yeah, putthat one over there.

-Straw, bat box, balls,garbanzo beans, what a treasure.

I love living with creatures.

I love neighborhoodswith lots of creatures.

The more creatures, the better.

It's great to do certain things

to help your creatureneighbours when you can.

sometimesthat's the best treasureyou can give a creature.

-And now that we'vegiven Shadow a place to sleep,

-That's right.

-Why else wouldthey be called barn owls?

-Hey guys, a messagefrom the Animal Helpers.

-Hi Kratt brothers,hi Zoboo, Alexandra is an

animal helper thatlives in the city, and you'll

never guesswho her neighbour is.

It's Sticky Feet,the peregrine falcon.

Falcons livein the city sometimes.

The tall buildingsare like the cliffs theynest on in the wilderness.

And here in thecity, there are a lot ofpigeons for them to eat.

So a city is a greatplace for a power-eatingfalcon to raise a family.

Welcome to the neighbourhood!

You can findcreatures and people livingtogether all over the world.

-Hey, you guysshould check out some morecreature neighbourhoods.

-Right on Zoboo!

Ooh, another one!!

It was Baby Zoboomafooasaurus!

-Hey Wiggy, want to play?

-Wiggy was sofull of root noodles

-Hi! My name is Kayla,this is a goat named Tim.

Hi, we're the Kratt brothers,

every creatureadventurer knows you have tobe careful around animals.

-Because sometimes an animalcan get a little scared of you

and then she might thinkshe has to defend herself.

-That's why you shouldonly go near an animal whenan adult says, "It's okay."
