A big yellow creature thatwas gobbling up little humans.

-Yeah! Who could it be?

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

Okay, the creature had two eyes

and was yellow like a banana.

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

And the creature was big,

even bigger thanToothbrush the elephant.

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

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

A big, yellowkid gobbling creature.

Do you know who he is?

Well, I hope hedoesn't gobble us up.

-Let's see, yellowlike a banana...

-...huge like an elephant...

-This one is really tough!

-Yeah, with a big mouththat gobbles up little humans!?

-You know what? Thatdoesn't sound like a creature.

That soundslike... a school bus!

-A school bus!

-And eat.

-You get to eat at school?

-Yeah!

-All this talk about school,I what to go to school too.

Me too.

-You're not a human like us.

-That right, exactly.Lemurs don't go to school.

Human kids go and that'swhere they learn things.

-Well I could learnstuff too, couldn't I?

-Yeah Zoboo,you're a great learner!

You know, and allcreatures learn things.

Like a baby baboon hasto learn how to find food.

She watches the olderbaboons dig for seeds.

And then she tries it herself.

That's how she learnshow to be a baboon.

Humans are theonly creatures that get togo to a place called school.

-Well then, teachme how to be a human.

Cause I want to go to school.

-Hey you guys, Zoboo wantsto learn how to be a human.

-Do you think wecould teach a lemur creaturehow to be a human creature?

-Yeah!

-You what to do it?

-Yeah!

-High five, we can do it!

Alright!

-Let's teachZoboo how to be human!

-So where do we start?

Let's start with thethings we all have in common.

-Yeah! What do lemursand humans have in common?

-Well, Little Leaperand I both have headslike you do for thinking.

-Yeah!

-There's a lemuron my head right?

-And eh, and we allhave two eyes for seeing.

-Yeah, two eyes.

-And a nose.

-And a nose.

-For sniffing.

-And on the side here.

-Hearing.

-Yeah hearing with the ears.

-And we all havebodies, and arms and legs.

Well, some creatureshave lots of legs.

-Like giraffes.

-Yeah! Giraffes havethe longest legs of any animal.

And how about the millipede,look at all those legs.

Check out the furrylegs of that tarantula.

Which animal legsdo you think are cool?

-Do you like cat legs?

Yeah!

Like a cheetah.

Her legs give her the speed sheneeds to chase down her prey.

-AndLittle Leaper and I have fingersand toes just like you do.

-Yeah, but we don't have tailslike you and Little Leaper do!

-You don't?

Well too bad. Tails are great!

Hey! I thought of something.

Well you guys wear clothes,and me and Little Leaper don't.

-Can you imagineZoboo all dressed up?

Why not?

-Let's do it!

-Let's go to the closet,I'm ready to be a human.

And I know howto get to the closet.

You just go over there,you stand by the door and

you say something like,"okay here we go again",

and then you open the door.

And then you know what happens.

-Here it goes.

-Here it goes, the avalanche.

Avalanche!

-Well Zoboo, you havea lot of clothes to choose from.

-Humans need to wear clothesin all kinds of weather,

because we don'thave fur like Zoboo does.

And we outgrow our clothes too.

-Oh yeah!

-As we get bigger.

This is a shirtfrom when I was a baby.

-You were tiny then.

-Yeah!

-I like this one!

-Zoboo, how aboutsome running shoes too.

-Oh, okay!

-Alright!

-Okay now, let'ssee, I put these on,

so I guess I putthem on my feet right?

Yeah okay! I'm almost ready.

Ta-da!

-Do you think Zoboo lookslike a human creature now?

-Yeah!

-Look at me.

I'm walking in shoes, oops!

Running shoes? I can'teven walk in these shoes.

Clothes, yuck!

GET... THESE... CLOTHES...

OFF OF ME!

That's better.I'm a naked lemur again.

-Well you know animals don'treally like to wear clothes

because they don'tneed to wear clothes.

Like polar bears, theylive in the cold snowy Arctic

but they have thick furto keep them nice and warm.

They even sleep in the snow.

-Okay so I don'twear clothes right,

but I can still goto school don't you think?

-Yeah!

-You'll see, I'll show you.

I've played human games before.

-It's true, he has.

-I've played tug-of-w*r,and catch, and eh...

-Hey Zoboo, how abouttrying a new game this time?

-Sure!

-Yeah!

Hey!

Little Leaper wantsme to tell you about something

that happened in Zobooland.

I was leaping along,

leap, leap, leap...

Hey guys, what areyou doing behind that tree?

Are you hiding from something?

-Can't talk now Zoboo, gottago, that's me, I'm outta here!

-Wait for me!

-I'm coming too! Wait!

-What is thematter with everyone?

And then I heard a voice.

-I'm only trying to say hello.

-Who said that?

-Hello. My name is Cy.

I come for friendship.Do you want to play?

-I told him we all like to playand I threw him a goobleberry.

-Whoa, this is a fun game.

-And we played goobleberrycatch and no one was afraid

of our new friendCy anymore. The end.

-So what else can I learn?

If I'm gonnago to school, my mind thinksI needs to learn some more.

-Yeah, you do.

-He does.

-Let's see if hecan handle a school lunch.

The question is,can Zoboo eat like a human?

-Well that willbe easy, easy, easy.

Well, what do humancreatures like to eat?

-Wellhedgehogs are insectivores,so they eat insects.

And tigers eat meatcause they're carnivores.

And herbivores likedeers, chow down on fruit.

Now humans and lemurseat a lot of the same things.

Lemurs eat bananasjust like we do.

Let's see if LittleLeaper wants to eat a banana?

-Do you eat bananas?Do you want to take a bite too?

No, you're not hungry right now?

-I'll have some.

Mmmm! Good!

My favourite kindof food is pizza, but I likelots of different foods too.

-Oh yeah! Me too. Bread,milk, spaghetti and meatballs.

You know we're omnivores,that means, we humans,we like to eat a lot of things.

-He's all finished.

-There he goes.

-Chris, Martin,brothers, when do I getto eat like a human? Heh?

-Okay guys, how about spaghetti?

-And meatballs.

-Oh yeah!

-Come and get it.

-Cheese. Who wantssome Parmesan cheese?

-Me, me, me, me.

-Some for Zoboo, all right.

Here you go.

Should I puta little on your head?

Pepper?

On your head?

So you want pepper?

-So this is the way weall eat spaghetti and meatballs,

with the forks,and your holding it, good,

and we have bread, howabout a piece of bread for you?

-Okay, put that on my plate.

-Okay, there you go.

-Boy! Eatinglike a human is hard.

-Why don't one ofyou guys try to show Zoboohow to cut a meatball?

She's showing you how to cut it.

-Yeah, like that.

See that Zoboo? Try that.

-Oops!

Uh-oh!

-Oh!

-You've got the cutting action.

-Let me try again.

Whoa! Double whoops!

-Whoa! Did you see that catch?

-Good thing Kelly got it.

Hey! My mind just got an idea.

Why don't we eat Chris'favourite food, pizza.

I've seen him eatit and you don't need theseknife and fork thingys.

I hope I'm betterat eating pizza thanI was at eating spaghetti.

-Look at that.

All right, here it comes.

-Pizza!

-Here's a slice for you.

-I don't want to usethese knives and forks thingys.

-No problem, use your hands.

-Oh this is good!

I like the vegetableparts the best.

Oh! Excuse me.

-Show Zoboo how to use a napkin.

-Everybody showhim how to wipe your face.

That's what we do afterwe eat, we wipe our face.

-That's good. Let me try.

-Put it right up there.

-These crazy puppies.

-Keep on leaping.

-Hi! My name is Zacharyand this is my dog Corbin.

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."

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!
