♪Me and you and Zoboomafoo,come along and see what's new,

♪at Animal Junctionwe're waiting for you!

We're almost there Chris.

-Good, because thisload is pretty heavy.

-We finally got it!

-Allright!

-Oh, but thissure is a lot of parts.

-Yeah, we haveeverything we need to make ourincredible invisible machine.

-All we have todo is put it together.

If we can figure out theseplans, we'll be invisible.

We'll be here,but nobody will see us.

-Whoa! This is goingto take some brains.

-What a creature!

-A triton cockatoo.

These parrots are incrediblecommunicators because theylive together in big groups.

These are gallahs,another type of cockatoo.

From the moment theyare born, they learn to

communicate with all kindof chirps, squawks and chatters.

-Parrots canlearn so many things.

This is onesmart family of birds.

-Hey, let'scall one smart lemur.

Zoboo!

Zoboo!

-Hey, do you wantto help us call Zoboo?

Come on!

Zobooooo!

-Zoboo!

-Where is he?

-Peek-a-boo.

-Huh!

You were hiding!

-Hey!

Zoboo's here and we're gonnahave a lot of fun. Come on.

-Hey Zob, wait up!

Zoboo, slow down buddy.

You know Zoboo, he won'tslow down until he has a snack.

-And I knowjust the thing, kiwis!

Here Chris!

-Thanks Martin.

Zoboo, how aboutsome kiwi fruit?

Zoboo loves kiwi.

There you go.

-Excuse me.

ZOBOOMAFOOOOO!!!

I was hiding,hiding is a fun game.

You call my name too.You must be pretty smart.

-All right. I thinkeverything we need's here.

-Yeah, and itlooks like everything is

arranged aroundthe main turbo thruster.

-Huh, oh yeah!

An invisible machine?

-Yeah Zob, an invisible machine.

-An invisible machine.

I can't believe my mind.

What's that for?

-To get invisible Zoboo.

Haven't you alwayswanted to be invisible?

-Well, okay. I'mready. Let's try it.

Make me an invisibleleaping lemur.

Invisible lemurscan really hide.

-First we have to putit together and that's goingto take some brain power.

-Brain power.

Oh, that reminds me ofa creature I saw on my way here.

Who could it be?

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

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

When I saw her in the forest,she was trying to catch a bug.

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

She kinda look like the Krattbrothers with lots of hair.

And she was smart too.

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

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

A smart bug-catching creature.Do you know who she is?

-All right, let's see.

Looks like the Krattbrothers with lots of hair.

-Climbs like Zoboomafoo,walks like us.

-Brothers!

-A chimpanzee!

Hey! How are you doing?

-Manga-chimp-ska!Mystery animal's here.

-Hey! You know what?

I bet she could helpwith the invisible machine.

Well yeah, sheis saying that she could.

-I think she wantsto Zob, and we're lucky

because chimps areincredibly smart creatures.

Hey! Where are you going?

Maybe she has another idea.

-She does? Well comeon, give us your idea.

Hey! I think shewants to play. Yeah!

-Hey you're pretty fast!

-Hey Chris, it lookslike she wants to play chase.

-Come and get me.

You got to move faster.

-Wow, this game ofchase is making me dizzy.

-Young chimps love toplay all kinds of differentgames. Just like humans.

And playing teachesthem things they need toknow for when they grow up.

-So playing isgood for their brains?

-Yeah Zob, playing poweris great for brain power!

-You know what, you'reso smart, I think I'll

call you, um,brain, brain, brain;

Brainiac!

Yeah.

How do you feel about that?

You like that name?

Me too.

I do.

Brainiac.

-Hey Brainiac,we could use your brains.

Want to help us buildthe invisible machine?

Alright!

-Okay guys, let's startbuilding the invisible machine.

But first, we haveto get into these boxes.

-Want me to helpyou with these boxes?

-Well, okay, let's see. Thisinvisible machine sure is fun.

-All right!

-Here, let's checkout this one Brainiac.

-Is there anythingover in this box?

-Yeah! Look at this.

-Oh! Another piece.

And that's a big piece!

See anythingelse in there Brainiac?

Oh it's a cord!

-So many surprises!

-It's like openingpresents on your birthday.

-Brainiac is lookingfor more surprises.

-A chimp in the box.

She found a drill!

-Oh yeah.

-Chimpsare one of the few creatureswho use tools in the wild.

-Does she knowhow to use a drill?

Because, well,I always end up spinningaround when I use a drill.

-No, she doesn'tuse a drill Zoboo.

But a chimpanzee canuse a twig as a tool to pick

up insects fromhard-to- get-at places.

You have to be a prettysmart creature to figureout how to use a tool.

There you go.

-Now right here, you hit that.

-Brainiac must be hungry.

-Oh! Oh! Oh! You okay Zob?

-Tag, tag, tag, tag,tag, tag, tag, we played.

No I'm it, oh, you'reit, I'm it, you're it. Whoa!

She got me.

That was fun.

Hey guys, remindme again what we're doing.

-We're buildingthe invisible machine.

-Oh yeah, but firstI think I'll take Brainiacover to get some brain food.

-Great idea.

Let's go.

-Food for thought.

-Whoa! Brainiacfigured out how to use thesnack machine all by herself.

Plus, did you seehow she peeled that banana?

Next time you eat a banana,try eating it like a chimp does.

She likes to put itunder her lower lip like this.

Ha! Good, huh!

-Food for slip.

-Hey!

Another part ofthe invisible machine.

Let's put our brainpower to work and findout where this one goes.

All right. So now thatwe have all of the parts.

-we'll put the parts togetherand make the invisible machine.

Oh! Don't rip upthe map, we need that.

All right, this isgoing to be a tough build.

-Yup, sure is.

-We got the directions so, whoa!

-Here put this piece together.

This goes righthere. Is that right?

-While you guysare using your brain power

to put the machinetogether, I'm going to tella story about Zobooland.

I was leaping along.

leap, leap, leap,

when I almost leapedright 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. Musteat, 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 willhave 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 Buglyand jumped on his back with a

pile of goobleberrieswith Narchi underneath.

So while Noggendrill dugholes, I loaded Narchi's nose

andhe blew goobleberries in all thelittle holes all over Zobooland.

Gooble kicked thedirt over the seeds and before

long new goobleberriesgrew all over Zobooland.

-It worked!

-The Super Lemursaved the day with his brains.

-I love that lemur.

-And everyonehad lots to eat. The End.

Brainiac saidshe loved my story.

-At last! The invisible machine.

-It's already finished?

-Not quite Zoboo, westill have to figure out where

this last piecethat Brainiac has goes.

-Yeah! To figure thatout we're all going to haveto put our heads together.

-I could figure itout, if only I could read.

-Plans don't show where.

-Where does that piece go?

Come on Brainiac,let's you and I go swinging.

That will getour brainy juices going.

Brainiac and Iare tired of thinking so we'rejust gonna swing a little bit.

Go for it.

Tired allready?

Fun.

-I can't figure it out.

-I can't either.Where does this part go?

-Hey Brainiac, look at Chris andMartin, they're still thinking.

Pretty funny huh.

Yeah, I love you to.

You're so cool.

-So Zoboo, where doyou think this piece goes?

-I don't know. Ididn't even know it went.

-Thanks for your help.

-You're welcome.

-If we could just find a wayto connect all our brain power,

then we would figureout where that piece went.

But what are we going to do?

-Got it!

This idea machinewill help us to put allour brain power together.

-And come up witha super incredible idea.

-All right, we're all set.

-Fire it up Brainiac.

-Do you feel it yet?

Oh, oh I feel it.

Brain power.

-Brain power.

-My mind has an idea.

Yeah! Yeah!

I've got it.

This piece goes right there.

-Zoboo, no wait! Zoboo, NOOOOO!

-Uh-oh!

Where did he go?

-I don't know.

-I'm over here.

No, no, over here.

No, I'm over here.

-Oh, this invisible lemuris going to drive me crazy.

-Over here guys.

Nothing could be finerthat swinging on a viner.

Hey guys.

-Yeah Zob.

-What's harder tosee than a swinging lemur?

-I don't know. Could itbe an invisible swinging lemur?

-I'm leap, leap, swingingall over Animal Junctionand no one can see me.

-I don't know howwe're going to get him back.

-I don't knowhow to do this either.

-I don't wantto get back. I'm hiding.

-Well, we may not be able to seehim, but we can still find him.

-Hey, I think Brainiacknows how to find him.

-It's agreat idea Brainiac!

Are you two thinkingwhat I'm thinking?

Come on.

Watch this.

I'll put this kiwi right herecause Zob can't resist kiwis.

All right, you ready?

-I'm ready.

-And Brainiac is ready too.

Zoboo, how about a snack, buddy?

-Hmmm! I smell kiwi.

-Yeah!

-Whew, what's going on?

You found me, youfound an invisible lemur

but I think I look morelike a ghost lemur. Whoaoaoa!

-Yeah Zoboo, we couldn'tof figured it out withoutBrainiac's smart brains.

-You're right! Chris and I thinkBrainiac just figured out how

to make Zoboo visibleagain too. Hit it Brainiac.

-Let's see if it worked.

Ta-da!

-It's great tohave the real Zoboo back.

Way to go Brainiac.

-I feel chimp-ish.

♪I feel different Not the same

♪This kind offeeling I can't explain

♪There's onlyone thing that I can do

♪I feel chimp-ish How 'bout you?

♪Chimp-ish

♪I feel chimp-ish

♪Chimp-ish

♪A big-brained apewith smarts between my ears!

♪Chimp-ish!

Oh! Oh thank you Brainiac.

-Hey! There's a troopof chimpanzees outside.

-I guess it'stime for you to go home.

See you later good buddy.

Say hi to your family for me.

-See ya later Brainiac.

-There she goes, livingfree and in the wild.

-Incoming!

-Duck!

That doesn't feel like a duck.

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

Did you seeme be invisible today?

-I don't think so Zoboo.

It's kinda hard tosee a lemur being invisible.

In fact, it's kindahard to see anybody beinginvisible. Right Chris?

Where did Chris go?

-Maybe he went invisible Martin.

-Where are you Chris?

Chris?

-Hey Martin!

-We fooled you. Youthought Chris was invisible.

-You had me goingthere for a second.

-Let's see what theAnimal Helpers are up to now.

-Hi guys, Hi Zoboo, Amy here.

I'm visiting my friendRenard and his dog Muscal

and Oliver and his dogNickel. They're an amazing team.

Come on and see why.

Oliver doesn't get around theway I do, so Nickel helps him.

Muscal and Nickel helpRenard and Oliver everyday,even going to the mall.

And if Oliver drops something,Nickel picks it up for him.

Isn't he smart?

My friends wouldn'tbe able to do a lot of the

things they do without the helpof their special needs dogs.

Now that's what Icall a creature with brains!

-What a mangatsika creature.

He learned to do somuch with all his brain power.

-Oh yeah.

-You know, I'mbeginning to get an idea.

-With all your brain power.

-Yup! Chimp brainsare smart right?

But what aboutother creature brains?

-Why don't wefind out, in India!

-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 closetTo grab their stuff and split

To the closet!

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.

-See you later Zoboo.

-Bye brothers.

-Okay, so wemet a lot of amazing brains,but what about bird brains?

-Youprobably hear about bird brainsmeaning not so smart right?

-But the truth is,there are many, many birdswho are very intelligent.

-Like crows.

-What are they doing back there?

-Uh-oh! Are oursandwiches in the back?

-Our lunch!

-Hey, we need our lunch.

We need that for our adventure.

-Those crows were watching us.

Waiting for us to stopthe jeep so they could swoopdown and steal our sandwiches.

-Butwe're not the only creaturesthe crows are watching.

Crows keep their eyes on tigers,

leopards,

wild dogs,

looking for the opportunityto grab a bite of

whatever thesecreatures are eating.

Let's see how smartthese crows really are.

-We're going todo an experiment to testthe crows' intelligence.

First, we're gonnashow them this bread.

See it everybody,

here's the bread.

Okay, now we're gonnatake the bread, put it on theground and put the leaf over it.

-Now let's seeif the crows can find it.

She found it!

-Okay, wellthat was pretty smart.

But now, let's makethings a little tougher.

-Let's take two new leaves...

and only put thebread under one leaf.

Okay, I'm putting itunder this light green one,

now I'm gonna mix them up.

-Are you crowswatching, you have to rememberwhich leaf the bread is under.

Can you remember?

-It's this one.

-She got it!

Great job!

-No doubt about it,bird brains are great brains.

-Except that peacockstill has to figure out

he's fighting his reflection,and not another peacock.

It might takehim a little while.

But we've got to fly.

That was great!

-Let's see what Zoboo's up to.

Zoboo?

-Wait a minute.There's nobody here.

-What's going on?

-Hi guys, guess who's invisiblein Animal Junction now?

-It could be anybody.

-I'll give you a clue.He's really, really big.

-Do you know who it could be?

-Let's find out.

-I bet you, you can findhim before the brothers do.

-We bumped into a hugecreature, that much I know.

-Okay, I'llgive you another clue.

-A toothbrush!

I bet I know whothe invisible animal is.

Martin do youhave the harmonica?

-Oh yeah, I've got it here.

-All right, I'm just gonnaput this harmonica right here

because I think the invisiblecreature will want to play it.

♪ ♪

-Of course, Toothbrushthe elephant.

Hiya Toothbrush!

-Bet you never sawan invisible elephant before,

especially onewho plays the harmonica.

-No, this is a first.

Only in Animal Junction.

-Here, I'm gonnamake him visible.

There's Toothbrush.

-Nice to see you again.

-He's one smart elephant.

-Elephant are incrediblysmart creatures.

For one thing,elephants have to remembercertain things to survive,

like where the water holes are.

Water holes can befar, far away, and if the

matriarch or leader doesn'tremember where they are,

the hole herdcould be in trouble.

Because elephantsget pretty thirsty.

-Hey Zob what are you doing?

-Toothbrush saysI can ride on his back,

he says it's okaybecause I'm not too heavy.

What?

You're hungry. Welllet's go get a snack.

Uh-oh!, Looks like the snackmachine is broken again guys.

-Again?

-Well, then I guess, let's putour heads together and fix it.

There's a switch here.

-Hey Toothbrush,what are you doing?

Hey guys, I thinkToothbrush has an idea.

Chris, Martin, he does! Look.

-What would Brainiac do?

-What would an emu do?

-Toothbrush fixedthe snack machine.

You're so smart.

-Toothbrush alwaysfigures out how to getinto the snack machine.

-Yeah! Because when anelephant wants to get something,

he figures out a way to get it.

-Hey! That reminds meof another time in Zobooland.

I was leaping along,

leap, leap, leap...

when I saw everybodyrunning around afraid.

-Help I'm freaking out!

-What's to become of us?

-It ain't good I tell ya.

-I'll dig a hole,that's where I'll go!

-Scared. Scared.Not happy. Scared.

-Well, what's the matter Cy?

-I'm glad you asked.

A giant snowball isrolling down Mount Zoboomafoo.

It will mean our destruction.

-Then my mind thoughtfor a minute and then I

knew what todo to save Zobooland!

Never fear! Zoboo theSuper Lemur to the rescue!

So Ileapt to the mountain and stoodin the way of the snowball.

Ah! Ah!

Oh! Oh!

-Even Zoboo theSuper Lemur can't stop it!

-But then, all ofa sudden, the snowball and

I landed right in the middleof a goobleberry jelly patch.

-Yeah!

Zoboo the Super Lemur!

Yeah!

-We feel happy now thatyou have saved Zobooland.

-Goobleberry snowcone.

good.

-Andwe ate goobleberry snowconestill we couldn't eat any more.

The end.

-Sounds like everybody alwaysends up happy in Zobooland.

-Oh yeah! We helpeach other all the time.

Just like when Brainiac helpedus build the invisible machine.

-It was amazing, havingan invisible elephantin Animal Junction.

♪This animal is a friend of mine

♪From the tip of hisnose to his funny behind

♪Allthe friends that we met todayare special in their own way

♪We've all got different namesbut we're really all the same

♪Thanks for droppingby we're glad you came

♪These animalsare friends of mine

♪They jump and swim,crawl, fly and climb

♪One more thing we have to say,♪Go make an animal friend today!

Yeah!

Thanks for agreat day Toothbrush.

Bye Toothbrush.

Well I gotta go now, beinginvisible can sure tire you out.

Bye!

-Bye Zoboo. We gotta go too,

right Chris?

Chris?

-Right hereMartin, I'm invisible.

-Well let's see what wecan do about making you visible.

All right, let's see here.

That should do it.

Uh-oh! I'm invisible too.

-Hey, come onbro, let's go check out

another brainycreature, the orangutan.

-You got it Chris.

-Hi! My name is Rolandand this is my hamster Bailey.

Hi, we're the Kratt brothers,every creature adventurer knows

you have to becareful around animals.

-Because sometimes an animalcan get a little scared of you

and then she might thinkshe has to defend herself.

-That's why youshould only go near an animalwhen an adult says, "It's okay."

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.

- HEY MARTIN.

- YEAH BUDDY.

- HOW ARE A TREE ANDAN ELEPHANT ALIKE?

- TELL ME ZOBOO.

- THEY BOTH HAVE A TRUNK.

WHOA!

- HEY ZOB! IT WASN'T THAT FUNNY!
