There's nothing likehiking in wide open spaces.

-That's where it's at brother.

Alright!

Do you hear that?

-It sounds likeit's coming from this log.

A mother raccoon and her kits.

-Hey everybody!

Look's pretty cozy in there.

-It might seem small tous, but it's perfect for them.

We'll leave the motherraccoon and her babies

because you alwaysgive her creature her space

no matter how littlespace they may take up.

-Let's call Zoboo.

Zoboomafoo!

Do you see him?

-I don't see him.

-Where can he be?

-I don't know.

-Where is he?

-On the tree.

Here he comes.

Hey Zoboo!

So Zoboo, who did yousee on your way here today?

-He's ready for snacking

but he's not readyfor talking until he's had...

a mango.

Catch Chris.

-Mangos!

Mangos are slimy.

-Yummy!

-Excuse me.

Zobooomafoooo!

-I don'tknow if Animal Junction is bigenough for that leaping lemur.

-Well if it'sbig enough for the brothers,it's big enough for me.

Mangatsika! Baby raccoons.

Hey, do youthink they're just visitingor are they going to stay?

-I don't know Zob, raccoonsdon't make their own nests.

They try out otherscreatures empty ones.

So maybe this hollow logis the place they want to live,

but who knows?

-My mind isthinking... Brothers?

-What Zob?

-I want to stay here inAnimal Junction. I'm moving in.

-What are you talking about?

-Well all theanimals who come to AnimalJunction, nobody ever stays.

My mind decidedthat I'm going to stay.

-So you want to makeAnimal Junction your home?

-Yup! And the creatureI saw on my way here today,

I'm going to seeif he wants to stay too.

Who could it be?

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

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

The creature I saw, hekept moving, moving, moving.

Well, he never stopped moving.

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

He had a dark brownbody with gold on the sides.

And he broke a treebranch with one chomp.

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

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

A big-toothed,moving-everywhere creature.

Do you know who he is?

-Let's see, dark brownbody with gold on the sides.

-Moving, moving, moving, moving.

-It's a tough one.

-But a great one.

-What an amazing creature.

-Ah, mangatsika!The mystery animal is here.

-This is great, wolverinesare one of the largest,

prey-pouncing, muscle-boundmustelids of the north.

-Otherwise known as Gulo gulo.

That's a wolverine'sscientific name.

-Gulo Gulo?

Hey! That's what I'll call you.

Do you want tostay and live here in AnimalJunction with me Gulo gulo?

You're gonna be great to sharea home in Animal Junction with.

Hey! Gulo Gulo is on the go-go.

See, see how much roomthere is to run around here?

I like to leap myself...

and there's lotsof space for that.

-There he goes.

A wolverine is always moving.

Their home territory canbe nine hundred square miles.

That's the size of halfthe state of Rhode Island.

-Well what doyou think Gulo Gulo?

Isn't this a greatplace to run around in?

You can have lots of fun here.

So you want to live here?

Gulo Gulo?

Gulo Gulo is realfast and I have to be

a real leaping lemurto keep up with him.

-Alright, but Zoboo,now that Gulo Gulo has takena break, let's check him out.

He is dark brown witha flash of gold down the side,

gold on the head,and white on the chest.

Oh yeah! And you canalways see those white teeth

and white claws.

-Look at thewolverine's huge paws.

They're great forwalking through the snow.

A wolverine is a carpal walker.

That means hewalks not only on his handsbut also on his wrist bones.

That gives him a bigger area sohis feet don't sink in the snow.

And that's importantbecause a wolverinelives in the snowy north.

-Well, if you had a niceplace here to live you wouldstay wouldn't you Gulo Gulo?

Yeah!Animal Junction is the mostmangatsika place in the world.

Don't you think so?

And there are some cozyplaces to sleep too, look.

You'll like this Gulo Gulo,this is called a hammock. Yup!

Yeah, this is perfect.

Hey Gulo Gulo, there's a hammockfor me and a hammock for you.

Yeah! The brothersshowed me how to use them.

You'llreally like it when you wantto slow down and take a nap.

No?

Was it something I said?

You like taking naps don't you?

-I don't think a hammockis right for a wolverine Zob.

-But!

Are you sure?

Oh well!

Where are you going now?

You sure liketo move around a lot.

Aye!

I meant to do that.

I can't keep up withyou. You cover a lot of ground.

Trust me, hammocksare really nice for a nap,

they are.

Aye!

I meant to do that too.

Think we cantake a little break?

Where to now buddy?

-A wolverine hardlyever rests, he just takesshort naps every now and then.

Most of the time he'son the move, that's Gulo Gulo,

you just can'tfence this creature in.

-But I think Gulo Gulois not like other wolverines.

He doesn't need that much space.

-All wild animalsneed their space and

wolverines in particular,need tons of space.

If you're a wolverine,you usually travel alone

searching for foodand that search can take you

miles and miles,and you know what else?

A wolverine is a super predator.

He is one of the mostpowerful, strongest creaturesin all of North America.

He can even gohead to head with a grizzlybear or a pack of wolves.

One tough creature.

-Mangatsika!

-Wolverinesneed wide open space.

A creature like this can'tlive in a house like humans can.

-A wolverine is sotough, he can chase a grizzlybear away from his meal.

I mean, he caneven chase a bear, up to tentimes his own size, away.

Now you got to givea creature like a wolverinehis space and so do bears.

-If he stuck aroundhere in Animal Junction,

he'd never have to chasea grizzly bear from your snack

because there is enoughto eat for everybody here.

Hey what are you looking for?

-He's probably looking for food.

-Well come on, thesnack machine is over here.

You can get asnack here just by punchinga button. Good deal, huh?

Let's go!

When you see how easyit is to get food here,

you're never gonna wantto leave Animal Junction.

One push and...

Oh! The snackmachine is broken again.

Well don't worry, the snackmachine does that sometimes.

It's a good thing I'm aroundto fix things around here.

But you better standback Gulo Gulo, becausethis could get rough.

Tools!

I had it in my pouch.

-What for Zob?

-Well, you never knowwhen you might need a drill.

I'll have this snackmachine fixed before you canleap across Animal Junction.

Watch this GuloGulo, the Kratt Brotherstaught me how to use this.

Whoa, whoa, thisis easy, easy, easy.

-I hate it when that happens.

-Zob!

-But then again, Ilove it when that happens.

Okay, one wolverinesnack coming up.

Come and get it Gulo Gulo.

-Check out that jaw power.

A wolverine is an omnivore,which means he'll eat anything.

Like insects, eggs, deer,even a big creature like an elk.

He'll also use hisstrong paws to dig up roots.

Finding food inthe wild is hard work,

so after the hunt,it's time for a nap.

-Look at Gulo Gulo's teeth.

Those are mangatsika!

Hey watch this!

We're breathing together.

I just know there's somethingto keep you in Animal Junction.

I know! What ifI tell you a story...

from Zobooland.

I was leaping along,

leap, leap, leap...

When I met Cy.

Hi Cy! I said.

-Oh hi Zoboo!

-Cy, do you have a home?

-Why do I need one?

-Well yeah! Everybodyneeds a home Cy.

Come on I'll show you.

Noggendrill, can Cyand I come down to your home?

-Well sure Zoboo, comeon right in. Come on in Cy.

-Oh thank you.

-This is Noggendrill'sunderground home.

Perfect for him.

-And this is SnowLemur's snowy mountain home.

-Oh hi Zoboo!

-Perfect for him.

-Oh hi Cy!

Anybody want an icicle?

-It's kinda cold up here.

Who lives down there?

-Come on, that'sFibby's water home.

-Okay, let's go.

Oh this is a fun home too Zoboo.

Well I guess I shouldtry my own home now Zoboo.

-I have an idea. Come on.

This tree will bea perfect home for you.

Help me up Slimantha.

-Oh sure Zoboo.

Thanks Slimantha!

-Any time Zoboo.

-Look at all the fun thingsyou can do in the tree Cy.

-ThanksZoboo, I'll try a home fora while and see if I like it.

-And so he did. The end.

Did you like my story Gulo Gulo?

He's running around again.

And I still don't knowif he wants to live here.

I have an idea.

Maybe if I think likea wolverine, then I'll know

what will make himstay here in Animal Junction.

I need to thinklike a wolverine.

I'm feeling wolverine-ish!

♪I feel different not the same

♪This kinda feelingI can't explain

♪There is onlyone thing that I can do

♪I feel wolverine-ish,how bout you

♪Wolverine-ish

♪I feel wolverine-ish

♪Wolverine-ish

♪I'm a strong tough weaseland I love to roam around

♪Wolverine-ish!

Hey mangatsika, now I get it!

Now I know howa wolverine thinks!

I do!

So you're tellingmy mind "don't fence me in",

you're saying "I gotta be free",

I gotta live mylife as a wolverine".

Yeah, I get it.

I get it!

-You got itZoboo. A wolverine like GuloGulo needs wide open spaces.

-Yeah!

We don't need hammocks, whatwe need are wide open spaces.

-Are you okay Zoboo?

-Oh yeah, I'vegot an idea. Watch this.

No walls, justwide open spaces, yeah!

-What do you thinkZoboo is up to now?

-I have no idea.

Zoboo! What are you doing?

-You'll see.

I need something bigger.

That's it.

This should do it.

That's didn't work,I need something bigger.

Power like a wolverine.

YEEEEOOWWWW!

Okay, it's timefor my buddy the drill.

-I think I know what he's up to.

-Yeah! Wait Zoboo, youcan't do this, this is crazy!

-Crazy?

Just watch!

Timberrrr!

-This kinda thing onlyhappens in Animal Junction.

-Well Gulo Gulo...

wide open spaces, here we come.

Come on Gulo Gulo, let'sdo what wolverines do best,

let's cover some ground.

Hey you're a good climber,I love climbing too.

You knew all along Gulo Gulo.

Animal Junctionis a fun place to visit,

but all creaturesneed to live in the wild.

Thanks for beingmy wolverine pal Gulo Gulo.

Brothers, GuloGulo has places to go,

miles and milesto run and lots to do.

-See you later Gulo.

-Happy adventuring.

-He really needs his space.

-You're so right Zoboo.

-Incoming!

-Duck!

-I don't know why the brotherskeep calling you a duck.

Well, don't they knowby now you're a... a...

-A golden eagle.

-Yeah!

-Andlook at the gold feathers onthe back of his head and neck.

That's how he got his name.

-Oh yeah! And look at his feet.

-Those are calledtalons Zoboo, and thosetalons pack a powerful grip.

-Ah! Well thenI'll call you Talon.

-Golden eagleshave such huge wings.

Her wingspan is six feet wide.

-Whoa!

Your wings are longer than,

well, than my whole body!

-Hey, and he left a messagefrom the Animal Helpers.

-Hi guys! Hi Zoboo! Amy here.

Lots of bugs, like that ant, getinside your house by accident.

So I decided to make sureall of them got back outside,

safely.

C'mon little guy.

Aren't caterpillars amazing?

One day this little guywill be a beautiful butterfly.

But my favourite place tosee them isn't inside the house.

It's outside!

Go on caterpillar,all the way home.

There are lots ofcreatures that find their wayinside your house by accident.

The best thingwe can do to help them,

is help them get back outside,to be free and in the wild.

-That makes me wantto check out more creatures.

-My mind smells a trip.

-To the closet!

♪They're going to the closet

♪They're going on a trip

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

-Whoa!

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

♪They're coming from the closetand they're headed out the door.

-Bye Zob.

-Bye brothers!

-We're here in the wide openspaces of the African Savanna.

-And as soon as weget finished setting up camp,

we can go wanderaround and check out all

the creatures livingfree and in the wild.

-Herein the African wilderness,there are no fences,

no bars, nothing to keep animalsfrom doing whatever they want.

-Alright! We haveso much ground to cover.

-This is going to be incredible.

-Yes! There areso many animals to see.

So let's get out thereand see what they are up to.

Lions!

I think we're surroundedby the pride brother.

-I think you're right.

-Back in the tent.

-I can't believe thatlions are at our doorstep.

Awesome!

And those two cubs are playing.

-And if lions want to play, theyneed a lot of room to do it.

That's one creature youhave to give a lot of space to.

-Yeah! He needsa lot of space too.

-That's right! A lion'shome range can be anywhere

from ten square milesto three hundred square miles.

-I don't hear the lions anymore.

-No, I guess the coast is clear.

-Alright, let'sget back out there.

-Let's do it.

-The rhinos! Retreat!

-You know, I'm startingto feel a little fenced in.

-Me too. I mean weare on the African Savanna

and we can't evenget out of our tent.

-But we can check out a rhino.

And her whole herd.

Rhinos are the third largestland mammals in the world,

but for sucha large creature, they don'treally need that much space.

A rhino mighteven spend her whole life in arange of just one square mile.

Now that's whatI call a small home range.

-Seems likethe rhinos grazed on.

-And now we can finally getout into those wide open spaces.

-Yeah!

I can't wait to get out.

-Oh look an elephant!

-Maybe we should hangout in our tent a little longer.

-Not again.

-Are we ever gonnaget out of this tent?

Oh it's a breeding herd!

I think they're thirsty.

-On a hot day a wateringhole is the place to be.

-Yeah! A herd ofelephants will travel hundredsof miles to get to water.

And you know what's amazing?

An elephant can drinktwenty-six gallons at a time.

That's a whole bathtub full.

That felt good.

-Hey, now they'rehaving a dust bath!

That helps keepan elephant parasite-free.

That didn't feel very good.

-Herd's heading out.

-Guess we can too.

-It looks like it's thefirst time today that there's no

creature standingright in front of our tent.

-Yeah! Out here there's enoughroom for all kinds of creatures.

-Including us.

-Let's run with the creatures.

-I'm right behind you.

Whether you're fast or slow,

there's no feeling likebeing free and in the wild.

-It's great seeing creaturesin the wide open spaces.

-But it's also greatto get back to Animal Junction.

-Let's see what Zoboo is up to.

Hey, hey! Look who's here!

-Whoa! Grizzly bear cubs!

It's Long Claw

and Tough Tooth.

-Hi guys! I'm giving LongClaw and Tough Tooth their space

because I rememberedwhat you told me aboutgiving bears their space.

-Good going Zoboo, and you know,you can only get this close

to grizzly bearcubs in Animal Junction.

-I'll show you what he means.

This is close to us...

and this is far to us,

but it's closeto a grizzly bear.

Grizzly bearsare tough creatures,

but they're mostlyonly dangerous when theirspace is being taken over.

Especially if a grizzlymom's space is invaded.

She's the most dangerouswhen she has cubs to protect.

She keeps hercubs really close to herand watches them carefully.

Even a male grizzlybear will sometimes backoff from a female with cubs.

-Long Claw and ToughTooth seem pretty happyhere in Animal Junction.

-These cubs might staytogether for five years,

but then they'llgo off on their own and lookfor their own territory.

-Yeah, usually grizzlybears don't like having company,

the only groupsyou'll probably ever see,are a mom and her cubs.

-But there is a time when a lotof grizzlies will get together,

that's when there'sa lot of food around.

Whether it's berryfields or salmon streams,

large numbers of grizzlieswill get together to eat.

Some grizzlies travel hundredsof miles to get to salmon.

When the fish go upstream,grizzlies have a feast.

They don't even mindif there are other bears

nearby because there'sso much food to go around.

-Grizzly cubs,like Long Claw and ToughTooth, grow pretty quickly.

They stop drinking theirmom's milk at about five months,

but they stay withher until at least the

second year and sometimesuntil three or four.

-That tickles.

So Long Claw andTough Tooth will grow up andgo off to live on their own?

-That's pretty much the waygrizzly bears do things Zoboo.

She's going offon her own right now.

She's saying hi to you guys.

-What's that?

Oh yeah, I guess so, me too.

If you're goingto live with anyone, itmight as well be your mom.

-What are you guystalking about Zoboo?

-He said that's theirmom calling and they've

got to get back to herso that they can go back to

living free and in the wild.

Butwait until I tell you a storyabout one time in Zobooland.

I was leaping along,

leap, leap, leap...

when I met Cy.

-Oh hi Zoboo!

-Hi Cy, I said.

How do you likeliving under the tree?

-Oh, this tree is not for meZoboo, I like floating around.

I'm bored.

-Maybe my idea wasn't the best.

You like to floataround Zobooland.

-Yeah, I like being on the move.

-I know what Cy means.

I love snowy MountZoboomafoo, but sometimes

I come down justto play with the sand.

It feels good in my fingers.

-When it getstoo dark in my tunnels,

I drill holes in things up here.

-I don't stay inthis pond all the time,

sometimesI travel through underwaterrivers to other ponds.

-Yeah, there'snothing like living andrunning free in Zobooland.

Well let's go everybody.

And everybodyran in their own way.

Well, I leapt of course,

the Snow Lemur waddled,

-Let's cover some ground, yeah!

-Sensit ran on his fingertips.

And Slimantha slidin her slippery way.

And Cy floated, like always.

And we all realizedthat some creatures

need more space than others,but everyone needs their space.

The end.

-I think theyliked your story Zoboo.

-Did you?

They did, andnow it's time to go,

but then again,

maybe it's time to tickle Chris.

We're all tickling Chris.

-Zoboo stop, I give, I give.

-Look who's here,

I think that might be their mom.

-When mom saysit's time to get home, Iguess she really means it.

-Yeah, you gotto go when you got to go.

Bye Long Claw, bye Tough Tooth!

-See ya!

-I had fun, fun, fun today.

Long Claw and ToughTooth are the best.

-Yeah and GuloGulo is pretty great too!

-Yeah! And youknow what brothers?

I really don't mind that GuloGulo didn't want to stay here

in Animal Junction, becauseI know that there is nothing

better than a creature livingout in the wide open spaces.

-Living free and in the wild.
