that tooth was just a natural part of me

some change es happen in a

[Music]

Flash others happen gradually like when

caterpillars change into butterflies

that's

metamorphosis that's easy for you to say

metam morish

indeed other changes happen once a year

like when animals lose their winter

coats maybe they should remember where

they put

them changes in nature range from Fast

to slow to very

slow how

slow over millions of years as the Earth

itself has gone through many changes in

order to survive animals have had to

change along with it my uncle changes

very slowly it takes him an hour just to

pick out his socks I mean Evolution over

many generations like the way that Jen's

neck has changed over time to reach high

leaves that's nothing you should see a

giraffe's neck

through adaptation giraffe's necks have

lengthened to allow them to reach leaves

even the gerut can't get otherwise in a

race for leaves they'd be neck and

[Music]

[Applause]

neck

[Music]

[Music]

woo that tooth must be down here

somewhere w having fun Henry you bet I

haven't had this much fun since I went

to Splash land when I was little

woohoo that's what worries me what do

you mean you're not as little as you

used to be Henry you don't want to get

stuck do you me I'm slippery as a snake

and quick as a cork in a bottle

uh-oh I warned you Henry you've

grown this is

terrible at least there's one good thing

what you won't be stuck for

long

W smart guy now I'll never get my tooth

back why oh why do I have to grow up

growing up is a kind of change that

happens to every living thing Henry you

never change you're always a smart guy

this kitten is only 3 days old she can't

even see so she has a lot of changing to

get through oh ouch poor kid that's got

to hurt it doesn't she has special loose

skin around her neck so Mom can keep the

kitten from wandering into trouble until

her eyes open after about 1 week at 3

days she's still pretty wobbly and can't

do much but she can find her mother's

milk

[Music]

aw hey old blue eyes is back all kittens

have blue eyes eyes at Birth later

they'll change to look like their

mothers the kitten is 3 weeks old now

and ready to go

exploring she gets stronger and more

Curious all the

time she's still a little shaky but at

least she can see where she's

going H I wonder what my foot tastes

like not

bad she seems to like the laundry basket

more than the cat basket poor kitten

just as she was settled mom decides she

wants her

back that's more like it how old she now

5 weeks and already climbing

bookcases nut come on you can do

it she made

it play like this helps kittens learn to

control their bodies but now that she's

up can she get down she may be just

little but she's got more pounds to the

Ounce at 6 months old the kitten's a cat

and nearly full grown but she'd still

rather sleep in the laundry basket some

things never

change cat's strong Paws and Claws make

climbing a cinch yeah and I see she's

better at soft

Landings cats like to perch up in high

places where they can keep an eye on

things she's got her mother's eyes and

fur now from newborn to nearly grown and

just half a year wow time flies it

seemed like only a minute or

two my tooth may have gone but I'll

never give up the search no matter how

long it takes since when did you learn

patience the nights are closing in and

soon winter will be upon

us I said winter will soon be upon

us when did you last check the weather

forecast Henry smite

guy I will find you my tooth after all

tomorrow's just another day oh I will

search till the first rays of spring

Sun spring I

said

[Music]

W overd done it with the special effects

huh Henry well you didn't really think

I'd wait that long to find my tooth did

you if you had waited your tooth would

have grown back before you got to the

end of summer really that's

amazing animals have to change with the

seasons throughout the year without

being able to

cheat this is the Tagan which lives on

the Arctic tundra all year round they

change the color of their plumage with

the seasons to blend in with the

scenery in Winter their feathers are

mostly white which makes it hard for

predators to spot them my tooth is white

too and imagine trying to spot it in the

snow when the Snows melt in the spring

and the brown Earth is exposed the

tarmigan have to change with the

times so now he looks like a hot fudge

sunde males change more slowly to help

them attract a mate so if you want a

girlfriend fellas wear big

slippers if you're a Tagan that

is by summer the Snows have disappeared

and the bird's white feathers with

it that's amazing a coat for every

season all the better not to see you

with my

dear winter sees a very different change

in Bears what do they do fly to Miami no

they stay put and finding a big warm Den

to hibernate in isn't easy excuse me

hibernate it means the bear won't eat or

be active for up to 7 months kind of

like sleeping out the winter not eat for

7 months won't you even take a few pick

AIC baskets to snack on nope the Bear's

bodle functions heartbeat breathing and

digestion all slow way down during

hibernation she hardly moves and won't

even go to the toilet all winter but she

will give birth to her

Cubs welcome to the be Arms Hotel baby's

welcome no restaurant no bathroom but

you have to admit it's got a great View

Penguins stay active all through the

South American winter so they must

change to cope with the freezing

temperatures this youngster can't go

swimming yet his new fluffy feathers

don't have the oily coating which keeps

them waterproof you ought to get a coat

like mine kid this is a real swimming

suit oh yeah I'm Not

Afraid what's a little cold

[Music]

water anything you can do do I can do

winner don't do it kid don't

freeze here I

[Music]

go looks like he'll have to wait his

feathers won't change until he's 3

months old not until they've got the

oils and tightly packed layers they need

to keep the chilly Waters locked

[Music]

[Applause]

freezing

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

joural lizard coming

[Music]

through t

monkey begs for softer

bed and armadillo can't find his

[Music]

[Music]

pillow but now our top

story the world of ants was rocked today

when the queen of ants was unmasked as

an impostor called Wendy for some time

worker ants have been suspicious about

their Queen she has changed many times

before from red to Green to Orange but

never has she changed so much according

to our spies it all began when she came

back from a vacation in the sun she

decided that every ant in the Kingdom

should be rolled in a crispy Co of her

favorite chocolate the last draw came at

a banquet the queen made the ant guest

jump in the Sugar Bowl and then form a

line ready to take a closer look at the

inside of her tummy today Wendy The Not

So Royal anater has been locked up

behind

bars and next the weather the weather

the we I got it right or whether I got

it wrong take a guess rats

but there is an amazing aunt

impersonating caterpillar who actually

gets away with it

what how hard can fooling one auntie

donate another days ago

oh let's see looks kind of funny but it

smells like an ant to me it might not

look like one but it smells exactly like

a real ant larva thanks to a special

scent it secretes and aunt bee there is

completely fooled meanwhile it's party

night back in the ant colony good little

nd Oh feed you and protect you I'd call

you George how would you like that

you sure have been for an ant though

thanks to the protection of the

unsuspecting ants the colony is a safe

place for the caterpillar to undergo its

metamorphosis it cocoons then emerges as

a butterfly hey little buddy

what happened you came out all funny the

butterfly is now lost its imitation ant

smell time to escape before the ants

attack where're you going

are you shaving it if I hadn't smelled

you myself I think

okay nearly ready finally making your

movie without your tooth Henry

nope preparing for my role revisiting my

past screen triumphs watching some old

home movies in other words him lights

camera action

Wow

you really change a lot since then he's

not the only one yeah look at me I was a

teensy-weensy little itty bitty baby

Henry oh yeah you sure were different

Henry you had no team you made a lot of

noise

you didn't let anyone play with your

toys and you were so well-behaved

excuse me on the other hand maybe you

haven't changed that much after all

you'll see when my movies a box-office

smash I hope you're right but you won't

be the first animal to make a big

comeback Henry Britain's peppered moth

has always relied on its camouflaging

ability to match the color of the birch

trees it calls home until one day

pollution came along I knew it the

spread of coal burning factories around

100 years ago started to cause serious

changes in the environment the birch

trees which the moths had adapted to

became darker thanks to all the smoke

the moths stuck out like a sore thumb

this made them vulnerable to predatory

birds you might as well sit on a plate

with a sign saying eat me they would

have been wiped out if it weren't for a

few unique moths who luckily came out a

little bit darker than their parents

very good while the light ones were

gobbled up in the millions the dark ones

slowly increased their numbers till it

was thought there were no light ones

left

until recently right right now there's

less coal pollution and the trees are

slowly getting lighter again dark

peppered moths are now living side by

side with their lighter cousins and the

buddies can choose like meat or dark

meat they all come extra crispy hi there

cousin if he can be a quick change

artist Thanks so can i I don't need to

wait for a new tooth I can have one

right now hey we are getting charming

that was amazing back to the drawing

board Henry Oh looks like my take the

plant a little load of bird droppings

those are caterpillars pretending to be

bird droppings kids today we were happy

being Knights or Cowboys this is no game

Henry they can change into poisonous

mode with one toxic squirt yes

cuttlefish make incredibly fast color

changes Wow how does it do that

it's got sacs of electrically sensitive

dyes in its skin that change color on

command a handy way

change into your pajamas here's a small

relative of the deer which also makes a

quick change when their predators around

it's called the water chevre tain well

it might be time to change now cuz I see

a predator eagle alert

that's amazing he just changed from a

jungle dear to a submarine superstar

chevre teens move around on the river

bottom the same way a hippopotamus does

he could use a snorkel he doesn't need

one he can stay underwater for as long

as five minutes Oh

better stay down OSHA me the Shepherd

teen remains still and low waiting for

the danger to pass there she goes the

coast is clear

the oldest tricks are often the best

chevre chains have been hiding in the

water this way for more than 30 million

years without turning all wrinkly that's

amazing

you

and now ladies and gentlemen it's time

for Henry's amazing golden deck Awards

the winners of my all-time best amazing

animal changes are in third place the

plugin for looking like a fudge sundae

all summer and a snowball all winter in

second place that's separate law if only

they really had pepper on them the birds

might leave them alone overall animal

changes tonight's golden gecko goes to

but the locket is for jays finches are

birds but Galapagos or some islands near

South America and although they're close

together each Island has a very

different and constantly changing food

supply so these amazing finches have to

change themselves to keep up on a cactus

island for instance you'll find the

cactus Finch with a long beak ideal for

picking a cactus and for picking a fight

when times are tough it's the finches

with the best full finding equipment

that gets a carry on pinching other

islands have different foods and

different finches seed eaters with short

fat beaks what pecker finches use tools

to get their grub

it's the way ventures have adapted in

dividing themselves into so many

different kinds that makes them truly

amazing but change artists

they adapt so quickly to get the edge in

the food snakes come back in 20 years or

so and they'll probably be some new

Finch Peaks on the block if something

needs eating there's a Finch to fit the

bill or a bill to fit the Finch still

worried about your old tooth Henry not

really

I've got a new one growing in now so

what's the newer for I have to make sure

I look my best for my new movie okay I'm

ready for my close-up now and this time

I don't want anybody doing anything

silly and embarrassing me uh on the

other hand you do a great job all by

yourself huh okay ready when you are

eh camera action hello my name is Henry

you may remember me from such movies as

Henry a baby years and the mystery of

the missing tooth allow me to tell you

about my life a lot of changes adventure

and excitement get out of my way hey Dad

things never change
