-You said it Chris,but I caught one.

It looks likea little one, but it mightbe even too powerful for me.

Whoa!

Ahhh!

Awesome tubes.

The wind was reallywhipping up those waves.

-Yeah, that one wipe-outI had was intense.

-Talk about intense.

Hey! What a powerhouse.

He's an English Mastiff.

And he's after our ball.

Pass it!

-English Mastiffsare such powerhouses,

it's really hard toget a ball away from one.

-Got it.

-This dog,

this dog weighs twohundred and five pounds.

-Got it.

-Notonly is he powerfully strong,he has a powerful slobber.

-Yeah!

I'm covered in it.

-Hey Chris, how does a EnglishMastiff leave Animal Junction?

-How?

-Any way he wants.

-Hey let's call Zoboo!

-All right!

Zoboomafoo!

and crashes into you, andknocks you off into the water?

-Yeah!

-Yeah, surfing, yeah!

It easy, easy, easy.

-Hey Zob, you'relooking pretty good.

-I'm a super surfing lemur,riding the powerful wave.

Watch me, I'm surfing yeah!

-Shhh! Want to make Zoboofeel like he's really surfing?

-Yeah! You're reallygetting the hang of it.

-Got ya!

Missed me.

-Got ya!

-I, ah, meant to do that.

-Talk about powerful waves.

I need a towel.

-Oh! Oh! Mymind just remembered.

I saw a creature whowas powerful as a surfing wave.

Who could it be?

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

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

She had soft thick furall over her powerful body.

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

And on her face, she hada pink nose and long whiskers.

And her bodywas covered with spots.

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

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

A furry, powerful,spotted creature.

Do you know who she is?

-Okay, let methink about this one.

Soft thick fur.

-Lots of spots.

-One power packed creature.

Who could thismystery animal be?

Any ideas?

-A snow leopard!

-Wow!

Of course, a snow leopard.

-The mystery animal is here.

Hello fellow snow creature. Hi!

-Snow leopard?

Mangatsika! A snow leopard!

Hello snow leopard.

-Wow! That's one powerhouse.

And she needs powerfulmuscles to get around in

the mountains of theHimalayas where she lives.

-Well she's a powerhouse,I want to be a powerhouse too.

GRRRRRRRR.

-Stop it Zoboo.

-How come I can'tbe powerful like her?

-Well for one thingZoboo, it helps to havea little weight behind you.

-I see what you mean.

-A snow leopard canweigh over one hundred pounds.

Which doesn't make herthe biggest cat in the world,

but she has a lotpower in those muscles.

-A snow leopard isso powerful, she'll go for

prey three timesbigger than she is.

-Mangatsika! Well that'skinda of like me hunting you.

-Uh-oh!

-I'm gonna huntlike a snow leopard.

Brothers, watch out forthe powerful hunting lemur.

I'm a powerful hunting lemur.

-I'll use my secret weaponagainst this powerhouse.

Tickle.

-I'm supposed to bea powerful hunting lemur.

-Well, that's prettygood Zoboo, but you're

still not as powerfulas the snow leopard.

-Maybe I'll find someeasier prey. Where's Martin?

There.

Here comes the powerful lemur.

Oof! Oof! Oof!

I meant to do that.

This time I'll really get him.

Whooooa!

Oof!

Ooh!

-Are you all right Zoboo?

-I, ah, I meant to do that.

Really I did.

I'm okay.

I want to be a powerhouselike a snow leopard. Yeah I do!

How can I get powerfullike you Snowstorm?

Hey! I just named you.

I'm Zoboo and you're Snowstorm.

Well, show me howI can be powerful too.

What do you havethat I don't have?

-If you want to know the secretto a snow leopard's power,

you have to getto know her better.

She not only haspower, she has speed.

-She can tag youin a fraction of a second.

-Another speedy mountaincat is the mountain lion.

Just like the snowleopard, she can get around

easily in herrugged mountain home.

Even in the trees.

-But how can I be a powerhouselike Snowstorm? How?

-To be a powerhouse,you've got to starteating like a powerhouse.

-That's easy.

How was thatfor powerhouse eating?

Hey ya Snowstorm! Youwant some yummy green leaves?

That's whereI get my power from.

-Sorry Zob, Snowstorm hasa whole different kind of food.

She's a carnivore.That means she eats meat.

-Oh, I likegoobleberries myself.

-You see, all bigcats have to hunt for

their food Zoboo,like an African leopard.

No plants for her,she eats the plant eaters.

-Well I guess I won'tbe eating with Snowstormthen, because I eat leaves.

Huh!

Do you know who that is?

Another powerhouse,it's Toothbrush the elephant.

Hey Toothbrush!It's good to see you.

-Hey Toothbrush,how have you been?

-Hey brothers, maybeToothbrush can eat with me.

He sure looks hungry.

-And most of the time, he is.

A powerful creaturelike an elephant needs a lot

of food to feedthose big muscles.

He'll even knock downtrees to get his next meal.

-Wow! Hey Toothbrush,can you get us some leaves?

What a powerhouse!

Wow, leaves!Leaves for snacking.

Okay I thinkthat's enough. Whoa!

Too many leaves to eat.

-Not for an elephant.

Elephants eat over three hundredpounds of vegetation a day.

That's a lot of food.

So why don'tyou get started Zoboo,

let's see if you caneat as much as Toothbrush.

-Let's power eat!

-They just keep on eating.

-Voky.

-Oh! We have a winner.

-Toothbrush out-ate me.

I can't eat thefood that Snowstorm eats.

And I can't eat hasmuch as Toothbrush eats.

Maybe I'm not cutout to be a powerhouse.

But I'm trying.

-Hey don't worryZob, all creatures arepowerful in their own way.

-A chameleon's quick tongue.

-Cheetah's speedy legs.

-Kangaroo's strong hops,

big horn's rock-solid heads.

-Giraffe's long reaching necks,

shark's sharp teeth.

-Strong skunk spray.

-And leopard power leaps.

They're all... powerhouses!

-Mangatsika! Lookhow high Snowstorm is!

-A snow leopard is reallypowerful when she's way up high

because she can jumpdown and crash on her prey.

That brings allher muscles and weight intoit's most powerful use.

Whoa! Did you see that?

-A snow leopard can leapreally high, up to twenty feet.

-That's like jumpingup here in a single bound.

-And a snow leopard can leapreally far, up to fifty feet.

-That's even fartherthat I can swing on this vine.

-Martin, look out for those...

-Oof!

Bushes.

-Where did these...?

Hey Toothbrush!

-Thanks Toothbrush!

-My mind just got an idea.

I didn't do so wellhunting like a powerhouse,

but I'll bet I canleap like a powerhouse.

Hey brothers, watch me leap withthe power of a snow leopard.

I'm leap, leap, leaping!

-Let's leap like a snow leopard.

-Zoboo, that'syour power, leaping!

-It is!

I found my power,the power of leaping.

I feel it.

I feel snow leopard-ish.

♪I feel different not the same

♪This kinda feelingI can't explain

♪There is onlyon thing that I can do

♪I feel snow leopard-ishHow about you

♪Snow leopard-ish

♪I feel snow leopard-ish

♪Snow leopard-ish

♪I'm a big leapingprowler and power is my game

♪Snow leopard-ish!

Mangatsika!

All this leapingaround reminds my mindof one time in Zobooland.

I was leaping along,

leap, leap, leap, leap,

when I got hit by a snowball.

Sensit's littlesisters got Gooble,

then Noggendrill

then Cy.

-Who turned out the lights?

-So I said come on everybody,let's hide behind the rocks!

-I'm wet.

-I'm cold.

-They're getting us good Zoboo.

What do we do now?

Anybody got any ideas?

-Then my mindgot a mangatsika idea.

Let's hide behindBaby Zoboomafooasaurus.

His skin's so thick,snowballs won't bother him.

He'll protect us.

-Ha, ha, can't get me now.

-Can't hit me.

-So we were safebehind Baby Z. The end.

So everybody in Zoboolandis some kind of a powerhouse,

not just youand me, huh Snowstorm?

-Like Martin's sneakers.

-Hey!

-Now that is one powerful smell.

Pe-ew!

-Hey! Why is everybody leaving?

-Your stinky shoesare chasing them all away.

-They're not stinky.

Come on, whatare you talking about?

I don't smell anything.

-Snowstorm's got the right idea.

She's not stickingaround for that smell.

-Hey guys, come back!

-See you later Snowstorm.

That's goodbye fromone powerhouse to another.

-And here comes anotherincredible powerhouse.

-Incoming!

-DUCK!

-It's Sticky Feet.

-The peregrine falcon.

And a peregrine falcon isone of the most powerful flyers.

-And he brought a messagefrom the Animal Helpers.

-Let's see what they're up to.

-Hi guys, hi Zoboo, Amy here.

A horse is areally powerful animal.

Just think of all the musclesit takes to run like that.

Even with somebody on his back.

Thewild ponies of ChincoteagueIsland are amazing.

They are reallypowerful creatures.

They may not look powerfulwhen they're babies,

but pretty soon they're runningas fast as these adult males.

And they have to be fast andpowerful to protect their herd.

What an amazing powerhouse.

Bye Audrey, bye Blue!

Now that's horse power.

-Those AnimalsHelpers are Mangatsika.

There's powerhousecreatures everywhere.

-You're right Zoboo, and Chris,what do you say that we go out

into the wild and check outsome more powerhouse creatures?

-You're on!

-Sounds like a trip to me.

♪They're going to the closet

♪They're going on a trip

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

-To the closet!

♪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.

-We'll be back!

-Bye brothers.

-Okay, so you want to meetmore powerhouses? Let's ride...

-...the enormouslypowerful elephant,

to find the super strong tiger.

You want tosee how strong she is?

Watch this.

Whoa.

She can do this easy!

Now that's power!

And an elephant is sostrong that Chris, the mahout,

that's the elephant guy, and Ican all climb up on to her back

to go looking for tigers.

All set Chris.

-Ready Martin.

-Going up.

Now that's power.

-This is amazing, we're as highas the monkeys in the trees.

Like those langur monkeys

and the parakeets too.

-Do you seeany tigers yet Chris?

-Yeah Martin!Tigers, four o'clock.

-Really? Where?

The elephant founda mother tiger and two cubs.

-Yeah! The mother must of justbrought them out of the den.

They can't be morethan three months old.

Wow! We got really lucky Chris.

-Yeah! We sure did.

Great find girl.

-Looks like they're nursing.

These tiger cubs drink a lot oftheir mother's milk at this age.

And they are probablyeven just starting to eat

some meat that mom brings home.

-This elephant dida great job finding tigers.

I think she needs a power bath.

When an elephant gets hot,she heads right for the water.

-On a hot Indian day,you can't b*at a cool swim.

-And an elephantcan hang out in the waterfor a long, long time.

-But now it's timefor us to get going.

All right girl, it's time to go.

Come on girl, comeon, it's time to go.

Come on girl, comeon girl, it's time to go.

Come on.

-Let me try.

Okay, come on out,come on out, come on out.

Ah!

That is one powerful trunk.

Chris, I need some help.

-I'm on my way.

Come on out,come on, are you ready?

Whoa!

Whenyou're a powerhouse creatureand you want to take a bath

I guess you stayas long as you want.

Hey, a tortoise!

-Well, we're back Zoboo,but are we ever tired.

-PEE-EWWW! Butmy nose sure isn't!

Smell who is visitingAnimal Junction.

It must be a mustelid,but what kind?

-A wolverine!

-It's a wolverine.

-Yeah!

-Wolverine likesto travel far, far, far and

sometimes, he likes topop back into Animal Junction.

-And it's a great thing he doesbecause that gives us the chance

to check out one of themost powerful creatures around.

That's right.

A wolverineis one of the strongestcreatures in North America.

He can flip a rock no problem.

And his teeth canbite through anything.

Look at the wayhe snaps that thick rootwith his powerful teeth.

Wow! What a powerhouse.

Pound per pound, wolverinesare so tough I mean

they can bring downprey five times their size.

And it's not only theirmuscles that are powerful,it's their smell too.

Wolverines have areally strong musky odor.

-I thought it was you.

-I thought it was you.

It's not.

-It's the wolverine.

-Brothers, lookwho else is here today.

-Whoa!

A monitor lizard, and thisone is a water monitor lizard.

Akomodo dragon is the only lizardbigger than a water monitor.

-You wouldn't wantto get on the wrong side

of this power-packedcreature, because he can whip

you with his tailfor defense, and that tailpacks a powerful punch.

That's because whensome lizards fight, they bite

with their sharpteeth and then whip eachother with their tails.

-Hey, do you mean like this?

-No.

-How's that?

-Sorry Zob, Ijust don't think lemur tailshave the power for whipping.

-Well, at least Ihave the power for leaping.

-Let's walk like a monitor.

These short powerfullegs are good for climbing,

digging, runningand swimming too.

Monitor lizards love the waterand they're great swimmers.

These guys canswim for miles and miles

and stay under waterfor about thirty minutes.

That's a long time.

You can always find a watermonitor near some kind of water;

it's doesn't matter ifit's fresh water or salt water,

these lizardsare at home in both.

-Another power swimmeris the American crocodile.

Just like the water monitor,

she's at home infresh water and salt water.

-Whoa!

-Hey kinkajou,what are you doing?

-A kinkajou has a prehensiletail that can grab onto things.

And it's really usefulfor reaching out to fruit

that's just out of reach.

She just grabs on toa tree with her strong tail

and grabs the fruitwith her two front paws.

Watch how she uses herpaws like we use our hands.

-Look at that,she chews upside down.

First they biteoff a piece, right,

and then they put it intheir mouth and tilt their heads

sideways so thejuice runs down easier.

That's the kinkajouway of eating,

right?

Hey another one!

How's your banana up there?

-Monitor lizard has more musclepower than I'll ever have.

And kinkajous will grow up to besome of the strongest nighttime

tree scrambling fruiteaters there ever were.

And I'll never beas powerful as wolverine,

but the thing is, everybody isa powerhouse in their own way,

well they're powerhousesin their own way,

and I'm a powerhousein my own way.

Why, I'm the best leaper around,

well, me and Snowstorm that is.

Remember Snowstorm?

This reminds me ofone time in Zobooland...

I was leap, leap, leaping along,

when I bumped into Bugly.

-Hey now, what'shappened there? Zoboo,

how'd you getso high in the air?

-I told Bugly that I was powerleaping on my super lemur legs.

-If ya got 'em, use'em, that's what I say.

If it's fun, do itagain and do it right away!

-We fell in a bocconut bush.

And everyone knowshow yummy bocconuts are.

We wanted to eat somebut we couldn't open them.

All of a suddenI felt something.

Then this funny blob witheyes floated up to say hello.

It was Fibbyand all her crazy legs!

-Hi Zoboo! Hi Bugly!

Let me cr*ck your nuts!

-Thanks Fibby!

So Bugly and I ate boccanutsall day long. The end.

-So Zoboo, are you tired fromall that leaping in Zobooland?

-Don't forget here, withall my powerhouse friends.

-So you're not tired.

-Oh no, I'mjust getting started.

I'm gonna keepon leaping so I can be themost mangatsika leaper ever.

-All right,keep on leaping lemur.

-Hey Chris.

-Yeah Zob?

-What do you get when youcross an elephant with a lemur?

-I don't know, what?

-Yeah, what?

-A leaper who canjump wherever he wants

because nobodyis gonna tell him not to.

-Good one Zob.

-Good one Zob.
