in which to house several animals oh

wait what is this about ow

let me try to explain here my cousin

Bluff is sending some animals over to

live with me for a few days

I clearly heard rabbit problem is I also

heard the words hooves and horns and

sharp teeth with less time I checked I'm

really characteristics of rabbit so I'm

not going to panic though because I have

an idea for in other words I have

challenge number one

of animals disappear well that attitude

isn't very helpful

Seminole Florida is there some kind of

retirement home for animals down there

course my friend dr. mark is a

veterinarian there he can explain how to

take care of any kind of animal

so you hide in a cat for um your blossom

Penn & Teller say hi Ricky Collins

welcome to Las Vegas

welcome to the pedicel er theatre we are

ruff told us about your problem yeah

what about managing stuff yes yeah

big-time

hold that in your hand now watch

carefully until it puts it into the cone

and now a little magic magical gesture

lovely view and wrinkles the red

hankerchief is gone vanished so it

wouldn't make the animal completely

disappear but it would turn the animal

into sprinkles sprinkles that can't be

right there are no secrets to magic not

nothing really vanishes nothing really

goes away you can't get rid of anything

really but you can make it look like

things vanish can you do that with a

rhinoceros here's a table nothing tricky

about the table you have a camera yeah

Ruby why don't you use your little video

camera and record this well then we can

see what's doing you can sh**t this

anywhere you want you can try to catch

us as much as you wanted anything

because there is no magic going on we

are just lying to you lying usually not

a good thing but in magic it just means

pretending we take the first ball placed

in our hand vanish it and it appears

underneath the time you with us so far

now we take the second ball place in our

hand vanish it and it appears underneath

the second cup they take the third ball

place in the sand now watch shows you

underneath the cup yet it still appears

underneath the cup how did that get

behind as close as you want now watch

this did the center ball place it

visibly underneath the center cup hit

the two side walls put them anywhere we

want because they always reappear

underneath the center cup I'll see this

a little bit of juggling over here and

then bang I

how are you gonna cook one more giant

ball under you decide and of course for

the finish it's a baseball right there

okay that's not awesome rahmel do a Penn

& Teller version wait yeah but not the

Penn in television with clear plastic

now you can see through the cups watch

carefully take the first ball pretend to

place in our hand

have you already stuck underneath the

first cup take the second ball

simultaneously secreted beneath the cup

we're going to place in our hand and

show it to the third and final ball

pretend to place in our hand pretend to

share if a cup to the place in the

company secretly secrete it and reveal

it now are all several second half three

cups all loaded three ba*ls on top and

the center ball please send a cup each

of the side bowls when we put them away

we don't need anymore we have three

duplicates just send a cup of these new

ba*ls at them over here this is not

juggling this is called misdirection

well I look over here tells us the final

ball under one more either side and of

course for the finish it's our friend

the American baseball okay these guys

are the most awesome magicians in the

world the most important part of the

cups and ball to a thing called the

French drop

I'm finale with French toast he's got

the ball there now it's over there so

but it's really caring right exactly

thank you left hand right there okay and

really grab it okay

okay now this time do it with nothing in

your hand okay just accurate now put it

in your hand instead of taking in this

hand just in the drop of having hit

Keller is not very chatty I am noticing

pretty good pretty good

to to you oh my god that's all you did

but it's still there you can never

really get rid of it

oh great well let's see how things are

going over at the animal kingdom okay

dr. mark aha

dr. mark hey ruff listen doc you know a

lot about taking care of animals all

kinds of animals can I send a couple of

my fetchers down there to see what it

takes to be an animal caretaker would

love that that'd be great

the instruction from Marco and shreya to

look for math hope they can find them

are you mad yeah I was easy you guys

want to go in a quick Safari ride yeah

nope

they have over 7,000 animals here that

includes over 150 different species of

birds over 80 different species of

mammals we've got some invertebrates

what are some of the things that you

think that these animals need is food

food food water exactly right shelter is

that exactly right so animals need food

water shelter and fate all right so it

was really cool

hold on a sec I'm getting a call from

dr. Marquis our head deck here let me

put it on speakerphone for you hey Matt

hey dr. mark what's going on

listen wanted to remind you that we've

got that exam for that morning she's

already had her breakfast with the

primate biscuits and produce you guys

think we've got an animal scheduled for

a check-up I didn't touch the names you

guys touch the name doesn't bring a

single sample it's usually about 20

grams love it she's gonna get the

enrichment items to make their parents

there oh well I didn't catch that you

guys got you look even though we don't

know the name of the animal what are a

couple things that might give us some

clues as to what type of animal it is

she said you were thousands of animals

here are you gonna narrow it down what

did they receive for its breakfast why

make this kitchen critter okay so we

know that and what we need to collect

one other thing

a seagull sample and there's something

else advancing yeah that's something the

animal receive after it received this

checkup I know you're going to need to

talk to somebody about what these

animals eat so what I want you to do is

go talk to Debbie at the animal

nutrition center all right thank you

welcome to the animal nutrition center

this is where we prepare the diets for

all the animals well we have a mystery

animal and all we know about it is that

it eats

primate biscuits and programs for

breakfast we have a number of different

climates we have

eight and we have monkeys basically the

difference is that monkeys typically

have a tail and apes do not and colobus

monkey gorillas lemurs cotton-top

tamarins mandrels climbing and Gibbon

that's quite a list but each of those

animals would have produce in their diet

as well as the primate biscuit okay so

we've narrowed it down from thousands of

animals to seven got you know how do we

narrow this down even more didn't dr.

Marsha something about poop make sure

there bring a single sample it's usually

about 20 grams Oh whew you need to go

visit dr. Christie in the wildlife

tracking center from food to poop

well that's logical hey are you dr.

Christie I am dr. Christie I'm a

scientist here at Disney's Animal

Kingdom how can I help you guys need to

find out a mystery animal she has 20

grand poop while scientists can use to

find out lots of different things so one

of the things we can tell from proof is

how big the animal is that made it I

happen to have some poop over here that

we can look at it's covered in shellac

so that's why I say okay for us to hold

it and pick it up I have a little game

for you guys called match the feces with

the species viewers at home please do

not try to play the home version of

match the feces with the species yeah

the poop the fetchers are using has a

clear protective coating and these are

trained professionals

each of these pooped samples here goes

with one of these animals so this is an

elephant a mandrill a hippo which is a

key largo wood rat it's a giraffe a

cotton-top tamarin and a zebra so see if

you can match them up all right cool

I don't think definitely the smallest so

that goes to the road rat would you say

yeah this elephant elephant this may be

hippo okay this one looks the most like

human poop crap we're both tiny

this will move over the mandrel yeah

let's see we have these three animals

left and Marcel from smallest so now

this one's for jingles

actually flips so the giraffes make

really big piles of use but they're

really small and compact because a lot

of their food is absorb and use right

away so you don't see a lot of it in

their poop like you see in the Zebras

coop so you guys were great though you

got almost all of them right so what was

that question that you needed help with

what animal poops 20 grams and do you

have it narrowed down to any animals yes

those are all primates right yeah so the

gorillas poop is really big it can weigh

over a hundred grams so I think you

could rule that one out

and the cotton-top tamarin poop you can

see here each of these little poops

weighs about half a gram so that's going

to be way too small fries 20 grams could

be a weight for any of those other

animals poops though we're down to five

possible primates and now it's time to

move from poop the point that's right at

the halftime quiz show

let's brush up on the rules 50 points

are available your 60 seconds to answer

as many questions as you can ten

questions available at five points of

teeth you guys ready let the quiz begin

true or false an animal's habitat must

provide correct seeds including crude

water shelter and space - how many

animals are there in Disney's Animal

Kingdom k70 be 700c 7,500 no to our ball

a good magician can make matter

disappear ah correct the mystery animal

Estrella and Marko must identify a one

for breakfast

yes name one difference between monkeys

and a monkey usually have tails a period

oh that's right which magician doesn't

talk anymore teller tell Ellen correct

and one thing you can tell about an

animal from its poop how big it is

that's true when you pretend I'm

something from one hand to the other

hand it's called one a the German

dropped me the French drop to the

Italian drop big rush right [ __ ]

Brenda's operative we have all

dimensions of Reese's with this crazy

game hide the smallest of the rats rats

school let's go over the one you missed

how many animals are there in Disney's

Animal Kingdom

yourself 40 points that's a good score

Hey Ruffy oh hey I hope you got your

little doghouse there all set up for

some new furry little friends not really

no hey it's your rug cleaning bill pal

hey

all right bluff I think at least I know

how to make you disappear now let's see

if we can make some animals disappear

and make Penn & Teller and Ruby fries

here but we can't help you get rid of

the animals that we can save you a plane

flight and get you back to studio G

we'll just use a little bit of magic

right here and you are going to

disappear y'all set tells you the magic

wand and here we go Wow make an animal

disappear so rough she's gone vanished

disappeared the greatest magicians in

Las Vegas Nevada have really done a real

vanish let's see someone else in Vega

testing tell I wouldn't have liked

trying to explain to Ruby's dad that his

daughter disappeared

hi yeah hey buddy I was just with Penn &

Teller and they taught me a magic trick

and I need to practice it employable

[Music]

good amazing

hello amazing Ruby yeah Ruby I want you

to take this to the next level which

would be your dad's an easy audience I

need you to go out on the streets and

entertain a real crowd that can help her

sure I'd be happy to

all right go do some magic hi are you

angel I am it's Angela she's an animal

enrichment expert we're supposed to find

a mystery animal that uses a bucket for

nourishment well in Richmond is actually

being able to provide animals with

opportunities to do natural behaviors

for example I'm getting ready to do some

tiger on your trip whoa tiger enrichment

Tigers exhibit a lot of cool behaviors

when they smell stuff they might scratch

things they might rub on I can tell that

maybe they scratch that yes they

particularly like really strong smelling

things smells like cinnamon it's a

really strong peppermint

oh that's smells like bug spray all

right now we have to put them on some of

the things out in the exhibit this is

where the Tigers come and spend their

day do you guys want to wait right here

I'll be back in a couple minutes what

you saw we didn't the tiger in service

good oh oh they're not in there at the

moment ah all right are you ready for us

to release the Tigers yeah

oh there they are my sketching it up so

the Tigers like the strong spells and

that makes them scratch and Rob if you

want to Tiger things blossom you're

sending a tiger to my house you are so

toast we were wondering if you could

help us figure out which animal in this

list use the bucket for enrichment the

finding would be able to carry the

bucket around and pull things out of the

bucket so my guess would be the signing

they started some mystery animals are

going to give a checkup to is a siamang

a siamang woody primate biscuits and

produce would use a bucket for

enrichment and produces 20 grams poops

that's the one you follow Matt and tell

him oh hey fetchers how's it going who

wouldn't understand that responding sign

oh yes that's one of our eight all

arranged for her to come to the hospital
