Alright,

today's the day I get Martinback for that ice cube joke.

Hey creatures!

Shhh! Don't tellMartin where I went.

-Alright Chris,so what do you want to do?

Chris?

Where's Chris?

I wonder where Chris is?

Chris?

Do you hear that?It's coming from the cave.

I wonder whathe's doing in there?

Ice!

Oh! Get it out! Get it out!

-Nothing's better than gettingyour brother back with a joke.

-Good one Chris,

then who's in there?

A three banded armadillo!

Whoa! An armour covered.

-super clawed.

-ant eating.

-run-around creature!

-That's who's making the noise.

Hey, look at the wayhe rolls up into a ball!

-Hey! Thanks fordistracting Martin buddy.

-Speaking of buddies,let's call Zoboomafoo.

Zoboomafoo!

Zoboo!

-Zoboomafoo!

Zoboomafoo!

Hey! There he is.

-What's up leaping lemur?

-Hi buddy!

How are you doing?

How are you?

What are you doing under there?

-Zoboo, how's your family?

Remember the timewe met Zoboo's mom and dad?

-Say garbanzo beans.

That was great!

How about brothers andsisters? Do you have any Zoboo?

-Well you know Zoboo, no yackinguntil he's done some snacking.

Garbanzo beans!

He's gonna love this!

Hey Zoboo! How aboutsome garbanzo beans?

-Excuse me.

Zobooomafooooooo!

Hi! I'm voky.

Hey brothers!

-Hey Zob!

-So Zoboo, do you haveany brothers or sisters or what?

-Oh yeah! I have a greatsister and brothers too.

We always like to hangupside down to play, yeah,

well, that's becausewe live in a big forest!

It's near a spiny desert.

Spiny!

That's just like thecreature I saw on my way here.

Spiny and a little sad.

-Sad?

-Yeah!

Sad.

Who could it be?

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

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

He had two browneyes on a face with no hair

and a nose thatsniffed around everywhere,

everywhere.

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

He was shaped like a balland his body was all prickly.

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

♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?

A prickly long nosed creature.Do you know who he is?

Prickly body.

-A long pointy nose.

-As big as a kiwi.

And all alone.

-A baby hedgehog!

-Mangatsika! Themystery animal is here.

-Look at the little guy.

-Wow! Prickly on top

and soft with littlewhite hairs on the bottom.

Whoa, he's a youngone, he's just a baby!

-He looks like anAfrican Pygmy hedgehog.

-Yeah!

-He looks like he's stilla little wobbly on his feet.

-Zoboo, is this who you saw?

-Yeah! That's the one.

Wow, you got anose like one of those snakythings that sprays water.

-Zoboo, hang on, whoa!

-A hose Zoboo?

-Oh yeah that's it, a hose!

You've got a hose nose.

Hey that's what I'll call him!

Hosenose!

-Great! Hosenosethe African pygmy hedgehog.

-My mind has a question.

Hey brothers, whyis Hosenose a little sad?

-Well it is strangethat he's not with her family.

-Yeah! He isonly three weeks old.

He should be with his motherand his brothers and sisters!

He's lost!

-Oh no!

If he doesn't have afamily, we better find him one.

Don't worryHosenose, I'll make sure youfind a family to live with.

Can you help?

Thanks!

Okay now, whocould the family be?

Oh look, it's Chris andMartin the lion cubs. Yeah!

We don't waste anytime, this is the perfect

family for Hosenose,Chris and Martin, the lion cubs

can take him backto live with their family.

-Well Zob, lionsare pretty tough.

-Hosenose willnever have to worry about

being picked on with lioncubs as brothers and sisters.

-You're right.

But I don't think Hosenose wouldfit in with the lion pride.

-Well, why not?

-Well they're suchdifferent creatures.

For one thing, lionseat meat and hedgehogs eatworms and insects and stuff.

Zoboo, we'll show you howtough lion cubs can really be.

Come on Chris, let'spractice our hunting.

Yeah you got it.

Way to go,

he's got the towel,

he's got a prettystrong grip with his mouth.

-Look, Chris andChris in a tug of w*r.

What do you think Hosenose,is this the family for you?

Well, maybethe lions are a little toobig and fast for Hosenose.

Oh, and Hosenose might notbe the best hunter in the pride.

-Right Zoboo.

In fact, these lions wouldprobably see Hosenose as a meal.

-Well that wouldn't be good.

But a hedgehogcan take care of herself.

She doesn't needlions to protect her.

-Ouch!

I see what you mean.

-He's small buthe has a great defense.

When a hedgehogwants to protect himself,

he rolls up intoa little ball of spines.

-Spines are mangatsika!

-They sure are Zoboo,and a lot of creatureshave them for defense.

Like the echidna

and the porcupine.

Some caterpillarshave spines too,

and don't forget the sea urchin

and the thorny devil.

But even with his spines, ahedgehog's no match for a lion.

That's because a lion can findtheir way around spiny defenses.

-Uh-oh watch out everybody!

-Pee-ewww! Lion breath!

-I can't smell anything.

-Okay, so maybe a lionpride isn't the best familyfor a hedgehog to live in.

We just need to keep looking.

-Let's go.

-Hey! Looks like Martinand Chris are leaving.

Bye guys!

-Bye Martin

-Bye Chris.

-I can't believe my mind!

Look who's here, muntjac deer.

I'm glad you came muntjac,you're just what we needed.

Perfect!

This is the family for Hosenose.

Problem solved.

They don't look tough andthey're not hunters like lions.

Hosenose, thisis the family for you.

-Wait a minute,not so fast Zoboo.

First we have to findout how muntjac deer live.

-Well okay. How do they live?

-Muntjac deer liveeither alone or in smallfamily groups call herds.

A mother deer has one fawn,which she raises for one year.

-This little muntjacfawn is only four months old.

When he gets about ayear old, he'll leave the herd

and start one of his own.

Now the females usuallystay and live with the herd

but the males leaveafter the first year.

-Well then this is okay.

Since Hosenose isa boy well then, then he canlive with the herd for a year.

-But Zoboo, he's a hedgehog andhedgehogs don't live in herds.

After his mother raiseshim, he goes off on his own.

-Look at how tinyhis head is, it's only aboutthe size of this apple.

-Muntjac deer, one ofthe smallest deer in the world.

-Whoa! He jumped right over me.

Look at him go.

Here he comes, whoa!

What a jumper!

Here he comes again, whoa!

He's doing lapsaround Animal Junction.

-He might be thirsty!

Want a drink?

Not yet.

-Whoa! Amazing jump!

-Want a drink?

Still not thirsty.

I'm getting thirstyjust watching him.

-Mangatsika! He zigs, hezags, he's all over the place.

-Look at this little guy go.

Now you're seeing thebiggest reason that this is notthe right family for Hosenose.

This little guy never stops.

Hosenose just doesn't bounce,run and jump like a muntjac.

-How would Hosenosekeep up with this herd?

-You're right. This isn'tthe right family for Hosenose.

Hey I'm having a little troublefinding you the right family,

but uh, don't worry,you'll have a family soon,

just relax and listento my story from Zobooland.

I was leaping along,

leap, leap, leap...

but then I saw somethingthat made me stop in my hop.

Tracks!

I have to follow these tracks.

And that's what I did.

Until the tracksled me to Sensit,

who was standingunder a stripe fruit tree.

-Hi Zoboo.

-Hi Sensit. Didyou make these footprints?

-Just the big ones.

-Well, who made the little ones?

-Oh,

they did,

my little sisters.

I'm babysitting today,

do you want to help me?

-Sure Sensit.

So we took care ofSensit's little sisters.

We played with them,

fed them,

and gave them lots of attention,

cause that's whata Sensit family does.

They take care of each other.

So we took careof them very well,

because they needus to take care of them.

And you know what?

It was a lot of fun.

The end.

So did you likemy story Hosenose?

Huh?

Mangatsika!You've found a father!

Hey brothers! Hosenosehas the perfect family!

-A bearded dragon!

-Yeah, well sincehe eats insects and stuff

just like Hosenose andthey both move kinda slow,

this is the perfect family!

-Except for one thing Zoboo.

A bearded dragon doesn'thave a family at all.

From the moment hehatches, he's on his own.

His mother and fatherjust don't take care of him.

There you go.

-But how does he eat, wheredoes he sleep, all that stuff?

-His instincts tellhim Zoboo. He just knows.

-Lots of creatures haveto take care of themselvesZob, like sea turtles.

Every year a sea turtlemom travels for miles to

come to the beach, diga nest and lay hundreds of eggs.

By the time the eggshatch, the mom is long gone

and the baby seaturtle is on her own.

But the baby seaturtle has instincts,

somehow she justknows that she has to make itacross the beach to the ocean.

But first, she has to getpast predators like vultures.

frigate birds.

coatis.

caracaras.

Once a baby turtle makes itpast the beach into the water,

she's home and her instinctstell her how to survive.

-Butcreatures, like a baby hedgehog,have to be taught things,

and they have to be takencare of by their parents.

-So this won't work either.

Well I guess it'sjust you and me Hosenose.

You can come to Madagascarwith me, you'll meet my mom

and my dad and my brothersand my sisters, and...

Mangatsika!

Who are you and how are you?

Wait a sec, I know who you are.

You're Hosenose's mother

and Hosenose's whole family.

We did it, we foundhosenose's creature family

and you know what?

I feel hedgehog-ish.

♪I feel different not the same

♪This kinda feelingI can't explain

♪There is onlyone thing that I can do

♪I feel hedgehog-ish.How about you?

♪Hedgehog-ish

♪I feel hedgehog-ish

♪Hedgehog-ish

♪I'm a roly-poly pricklyball looking for my mama

♪Hedgehog-ish.

I can do this.

Is it better like this?

Now that I'm a hedgehog maybeI'll be in the hedgehog family.

-Well, you'll fit in well Zoboo.

What are you doing?

-Well I'm trying to rollinto a ball like the hedgehogs.

What's it like brothers, I mean,being in a hedgehog family?

-Oh, well for starters,a mother hedgehog

can have up to ten babiesbut this one, oh ouch, has two.

-I'll call her Hedge and Hog

and Hosenose of course.

-Good names.

You know the motherhedgehog takes care of

the baby hedgehogsuntil they are about seven

weeks old and readyto go off on their own.

-Yeah, she keeps themwarm and cozy in the den.

-She feeds them.

-And she gives them milk.

-What about goobleberries?

-And she's feedingHosenose right now.

-I'm glad we foundHosenose's family.

-Yeah! There's nothingbetter than a happy family.

-Yeah!

And I never knewthere were so many kinds.

-Yup! All sorts of families andthey all work in different ways.

In a prairie dog family, onlymom takes care of the babies

but dad does his part. He standsoutside and protects the home.

-Baboons are a little different.

They live in groupscalled troops and although

mom's number one,everybody works together to

protect and teachthe young baboons.

Everyone wants to be apart of the baby baboon's life.

-Another amazing familyis the ostrich family.

Both mom and dad make sure thatthe babies are fed and safe.

There's a lotof families out there.

-Yeah and they all work great!

Hey, the hedgehogfamily is going home.

Bye Hosenose,bye Hedge, bye Hog!

-See you later.

-There they go, livingfree and in the wild.

Incoming!

-Duck!

-Hi Blink, you're no duck.

-She's a great horned owl.

-And look what rode in with her.

A message from Amy.

-Hi guys! Hi Zoboo!

Amy here.

Today I helpeda dog find a family.

My friend Jakewanted a dog so I said

"Why don't you get adog from the animal shelter?"

So Jake asked his momif it was okay and it was.

So once his mom saidit was okay to get a dog,

I took him tothe animal shelter.

Jake got a dog he lovesand the dog loves him too.

Now Jake has a great friendand the dog has a loving family.

See you later guys.

-Amy is alwaysgreat to creatures.

-Yeah and thereis nothing like giving alonely puppy a great home.

-Because creaturefamilies doesn't always meanthe same kind of creatures.

-Hey Martin! What do you saywe go and live with a totally

different creature family?

-In Africa?

-To the closet!

-Sounds like tripto me, right Blink?

♪They're going to thecloset they're going on a trip

-Uh-oh, you know what happensevery time we open the closet.

-Well we got todo what we got to do.

Whoa!

-Binoculars!

♪They're goingon a cool adventure

♪And they don'tknow what's in store

-Let's go spot some creatures.

-Creature families,here we come.

Are you coming Martin?

-Yeah, let's go!

-See you later Zoboo!

-Bye brothers!

-We're here in theAfrican Savanna looking

for a great creaturefamily to live with.

-There are all kindsof creature families outhere, like those tsessebe!

Awesome!

And over there, impala,

a mom and her baby,

Right now she's all legs.

-Hold it!

Lions!

I've always wantedto be a big cat.

-Let's see what lifeis like in a lion pride.

-Looks like they arejust chilling out right now,

enjoying the African sunshine.

A family oflions, called a pride,

is made up of manyfemales and their young.

-Plus a single or groupof male lions who are part of

that pride and maybea few others in the area.

-Those two arehaving a great time.

Don't you love these guys?

Lion cubs take turns beingthe hunter and the hunted.

Check it out.

-That's howthey practice hunting.

-That's what we'vegot to do if we're goingto be part of the pride.

Let's start by waitingand listening like the lions.

-Martin, something's up.

-Yeah I know, but what?

I think they are on the prowl.

-We'll hunt like lions.

Lions are the only bigcats that hunt cooperatively.

That really improvesyour chances of eating.

-A lion family workstogether to hunt their prey.

-Ready brother?

-Ready.

-I'll be the lion thatwaits here and watches the prey.

-And I'll be thelion who st*lks around

and over to theother side of the prey.

Okay, I'm in position.

-Now, I'll slowly pushthe herd towards Martin,

the other lionwaiting in the grass.

-The lion moves slowlyand quietly towards her prey.

-There they go!

-And when they runby, I leap out and grab one.

If mylion partner is doing his job,they should be close by soon.

-Time to charge,

now!

Uh-oh!

Here they come,

one,

two,

three,

ah!

-Oh no!

-I guess theyonly stop for lions.

-Are you all right Martin?

-Yeah!

But you know,we'd never make it as lions,we can never catch anything.

-Butwhen a lion catches something,everybody gets a share.

That is if thereis enough to go around.

-What do you saywe catch a bite ourselves?

-Yeah back at Animal Junction!

-What do you thinkZoboo's up to now?

-Sounds like he'sup to his toothcomb in fun.

-Well let's go!

-Hey brothers,Tigerstripe came to visitand I'm taking care of her.

-It looks like she'staking care of you Zob.

-Oh yeah! She's a goodplayer, aren't you Tigerstripe?

-Puppies like Tigerstripelove living in human families,

butit can be hard for a puppy tofigure out how to live in one.

-That's because we'repeople and puppies are dogs.

And the bestway to make a puppy feel athome is to think like a dog.

-Think like adog, how do you do that?

-Well Zob, for one thing,a lot of people don't like

when dogs jump up on them,but if you understand dogs,

-Think like a dog.

-then you'llunderstand that they're justjumping up to greet each other.

Wild dogs lick andrub each other's faces.

-African wilddogs live in packs.

They're incrediblysocial creatures.

When they lickeach other's faces,

they're saying "Hi! Where haveyou been? Glad you're back".

So a puppy is justjumping up to say hello.

-Yeah!Going down to a dog's levelis a great way to say hello,

and to teachthem not to jump up.

Besides, life at dog level is alot of fun for you and your dog.

-Hello Tigerstipe,I'm thinking like a dog,

I'm doing the secret dog stylegreeting so you don't jump up.

Hey do you want tohear a story about Zobooland?

-Yeah, she can chewsome wood chips and listen.

-OK, I was leaping along,

leap, leap, leap...

I was looking for Sensitand his Sensit family.

I sniffed to seeif I could smell him out.

That's what he'ddo if he wanted to find me.

That wasn't workingso I called him.

HEY SENSIT!

Where are you?

Sensit?

-Oh hi Zoboo.

I'm freaking out!

Have you seen my sisters?

I've lost them again.

-No but I'll help you find them.

Use your ears.

-There's somebody over there!

Gooble have you seen my sisters?

-Nope, not today.

Um no, I was lookingfor goobleberries.

-More voices!

Thatta way!

I think we're getting closer!

-They're playing with Fibby!

-Wheee!

-Sensit's sister were playingthe Fibby-Flip-Flop game again.

And they were having a greattime with their Aunt Fibby.

Here in Zobooland,everybody's family.

The end.

-Great story Zoboo.

-Oh thanks!

-Yeah, you knowa way that dogs and humans

are a lot alikeis that we're both smart

creatures whojust want to be loved.

-It's important to trainyour puppy when she's young

and to train yourselfto do it properly.

A good dog trainingbook can really help.

-Ginger sit.

Good girl.

-But the mostimportant thing is to giveyour puppy a lot of love.

-And to spenda lot of time with him.

-Yeah, and then you'll be ahappy creature family together.

♪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 animalfriend today! Yeah!

Well, I got to get backto my own creature family.

See you later brothers.

-Say hi to them for us Zoboo!

-Bye buddy!

-There are all kindsof creature families out there.

-Yeah, but your owncreature family is alwaysthe best creature family.

-Come on Tigerstripe.

Good girl!

-Hi! I'm Sashaand this is Sasha too.

He's a greyhoundwho was adopted.

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!
