Hey everybody!
I love swimming with sharks!
-Oh yeah! Did youknow that sharks have lived onearth for millions of years?
They were around even beforethe dinosaurs roamed the planet.
And that's waybefore humans showed up.
And the awesome partis that they haven't changedthat much in all that time.
Some creaturesjust never change.
-What's this?
-We weren't expecting a package.
-Wait, yes we were!
This must be the partfor fixing the time machine!
-Of course!
Let's call Zoboo.He'll help us open it.
Zoboo!
Zoboo!
-Zoboo!
-Zoboomafoo!
Zoboo!
That's him over there.
Come on in buddy!
Hey Zoboo!
-He's here!
Hey Zoboo, you want tohelp us fix the time machine?
We just got thepart we needed to fix it.
You know Zoboo,no greets 'til he eats.
-I know just whata leaping lemur likes.
Walnuts!
Leap over here buddy.
There you go Zob.
He loves walnuts.
-Excuse me!
Zoboomafooooooo!
Hi. I'm voky.
And I can't wait.
Let's get to that timemachine, it's fixing time.
Where's the part?I'm ready to help here.
Brothers, hurry up!
-Yes! The control panel.
-Yeah, I thinkit goes right in there.
Yeah!
careful of my nose.
-Perfect!
-I sure hope it'sworking all right now.
-Yeah, you don'twant to be in a time machinethat doesn't work right.
-Mangatsika! Fixing things cansure make a lemur belly hungry.
I love walnuts, they'reso nutty, and their round shell
is all wrinkled, like...
like a creature I saw today.
-Who'd you see Zoboo?
-Can you guess?
Who could it be?
♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see.
♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?
Okay, when I saw him, he lowbelly-crawled into the water.
♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see?
His mouth was huge withlots of spiky white teeth.
♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see.
♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?
A belly-crawling,big-toothed creature.
Do you know who he is?
-A low belly crawl...
-...lots and lots of teeth...
-Martin got splashedby mangatsika...
-...American Alligator!
Nice splash!
-Mangatiska!Mystery Animal is here!
-That looks like funsplashing around like that!
I gotta get in on that.
Watch me brothers!
Watch how I get in.I call this my full-twisting,leaping lemur, half-jack dive!
-Zoboo wait!
-Here I come!
Uh-oh!
Whoaaa!
Ah-choo!
I smell mud!
-Zoboo, it's a good thing,
becauseyou don't want to jump intothe water with an alligator.
You always have togive a creature his space,especially an alligator.
He can be onedangerous creature.
He has a big mouththat's great for grabbing
all kinds of preyand he can open it wide!
An alligator's a great swimmerand can be sixteen feet long.
That's twiceas long as your bed!
This is one powerfulcreature you gotta love, butyou don't want to mess with.
-Wow, she's incredible.She must be eight feet long.
-That's abouttwice as long as me.
-I think it's four Zoboos long.
And look how herbody's covered in scales.
You have bigscales along her back,
and then the scales becomelike triangles down her tail
and then all aroundher arms right here thescales get really small.
-Wow, I don't have any scales.
I have fur.
-Yeah!
-Look at her eyes.
-Yeah, she hastwo eyelids Zoboo.
One is clearfor seeing underwater and theother is like yours and mine.
-Wow!
Chris, Chris, look at her feet.
She's got long claws.
-Yeah, aren't they incredible?
Those claws,they're for digging,
and between her fingersyou can see webbing.That helps her swim.
-Wow.
-All right, now take a reallyclose look at the alligator.
She's completelyunderwater right?
Except for one part.
Her nostrils.
They just stick alittle bit out of the water,
so she can stay hiddenunderwater, but still breathe.
-Oh, good idea.
That way she doesn't have tohold her breath the whole time.
-Yeah.
Now Zoboo, look at that tail.
That tail is abouthalf of the alligator.
-Wow.
-That tail helpsher swim through the water
and helps her splash Martin.
-Yup, that's how she did it.
-Oh, Chris, Martin,I've got an idea.
I'm going to callher Whipper, cause her tail'sso good at whipping around.
-Excellent name Zoboo.Whipper the alligator!
-I can't believe my mind.
There's somebody else here
and you look just like Whipper.
But you're smaller,you must be a baby.
Hey guys, guys, look,
I found a baby alligator.
Wow.
-That's right Zoboo,she's a young one.
She's probablyonly about a year old.
-Mangatsika!
You're neat.
I'm going to call her Whippet.
-Isn't Whippet reallyprehistoric looking?
-Prehistoric?
Like a dinosaur!
Guys, guys, guys,my mind just got an idea.
I'll bet Whippet was aroundwhen dinosaurs were around.
-Well, actually Zob...
-No, no, no!
Don't tell me.
I'm going tofigure this out myself.
Hey, maybe you can help.
What do you think?
The time machine.
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay brothers, let'suse the time machine togo back millions of years.
-Sounds like a trip to me.
-I think Whippetand I should stay here and
make sure the timemachine gets you back okay.
-All right Zoboo, start it up.
-Okay.
-Time to time travel.
We're travelling through time.
-There you go guys.
Where'd they go?
It worked!
They're somewhere in the past.
Where is the past?
Oh, there they are.
Hey!
They're back in dinosaur time.
Oh the time machinesays that's caveman language
for "cavemen weren'taround when dinosaurs were.
But Chris and Martinare different. They'retime-travelling cavemen"
Hey brothers, doyou see any alligators?
-Duck-billed dinosaurs.
-Duck-billed dinosaurs?
Ahhhh!
A giant alligator!
Guys, I was right. Alligatorswere around back then.
Except they're as long as a bus!
Don't worry brothers, I'llbring you back to the present.
You're back!
-Yeah!
That was amazing!
And you know, you were right.
The alligators did roam duringthe time of the dinosaurs.
-Except they were super huge!
-But everything else about themstayed pretty much the same.
-And there aren't many creaturesyou can say that about.
But you can saythat about the sea turtle.
Her kind has been aroundfor millions of years,
just like her cousin,the snapping turtle,
who lives in riversand lakes, not the ocean.
-And speaking of water,a lot of ocean creatures haven't
changed much, like a jellyfish,
and of course,the awesome shark!
-And don't forget about insects.
They haven't changed muchfor millions of years either,
like a dragonfly and thisbeetle buddy, the cockroach.
-Oh, hi Whippet.
Whippet?
That's not Whippet.
Wait a second,
if Whipper'sin the pool, and Whippet'sin the pond, who are you?
I know, I'll callyou Whippersnapper,
but who are you?
Are you Whippet's brother?
-He's not Whippet'sbrother, Zoboo, he'sanother type of crocodilian.
-Croc-o-dilian?
-You got it buddy.
Whippersnapper is a caiman...
...and Whippet is an alligator.
-But both are reptilesin the family of crocodilians.
You see, there are differenttypes of crocodiliansin the crocodilian family.
For example, there'sthe spectacled caiman,
then there's Americanalligators like Whipper,
and of course, there'sthe powerful Nile crocodile.
-My mind's confused, how canyou tell the difference between
an alligator and a crocodile?
-Great question Zoboo.
When an alligator anda caiman has his mouth closed
you can't see any teethsticking up from his lower jaw.
But when a crocodilecloses his mouth, you can see
some teeth stickingup from his lower jaw.See them in those grooves?
Think about it like this Zoboo.You're a sifaka lemur, right?
-Yeah.
-And Little Leaperis a ring-tailed lemur.
-Oh yeah.
Oh!
So we're both partof the lemur creature family
and alligators and caimans arepart of the crocodilian family.
-You got it buddy!
Get really low on your belly,
walk like a caiman.
-Chris is part ofthe crocodilian family.
Family?
Hey, that remindsme of one time in Zobooland.
I was leaping along,
leap, leap, leap, leap,
when I bumped into Sensit.
-Oh, hi Zoboo.
-Hi Sensit.
-Oh Zoboo, I'm sad.
-Why Sensit?
-Because I don't knowwhat kind of a creature I am.
-Gee Sensit, I thoughtyou were in the lemur family.
-Me, a lemur?
Well, I do have grabby hands.
-That's right.
And you have big, big eyes too,
and a nose thatcan really smell.
-That's right,I can really smell good.
-And you have amazing ears.
-That's right, that'sright, and I love leaping.
I must be in the lemur family!
-So us two lemurs spent the day
leaping aroundZoboomafooasaurus.
And we had fun.
Lemur fun!
Whooo! The end!
-That was a good story Zoboo.
-Oh thanks. I'ma pretty good storyteller.
I'malso a good time machine learnerand my mind is telling me
that caimanswere huge creatures in thetime of the dinosaurs too.
-You sure Zob?
-Yup, yup, that'swhat my mind is telling me.
-Well, let's seeif your mind is right.
To the time machine!
-To the time machine!
Let's go guys!
Can't wait.
Ready?
Here we go.
Hey, it worked again!
See anything?
No caimans anywhere.
I guess a caimantype of crocodilian wasn'taround with the dinosaurs.
-Triceratops!
Ahhh! T-Rex!
-Uh-oh! Thosedinosaurs are close
and that T-Rex sees them!
He's after Martin and Chris.
We'd better do something!
Oh no, it's blowing up,
where's my drill?
Ahhh!
Oh no!
Let me try this!
You made it back!
-Whew! ThanksZoboo, that was close.
I really didn't wantto end up as T- Rex's dinner!
-Yeah, it's agood job I had my drill.
-But we did find out thatsome crocodilians were around
during the time of thedinosaurs and others weren't.
-Hey guys, you know what?
Whippet is in the pond,
Whippersnapper is over there
and Whipper is out of the pool!
That means I can go swimming!
Hey hoo, hubba hubba,here I come, in the wat-ah!
Whooo!
I feel kinda crocodilian-ish!
♪I feel different - not the same
♪This kinda feelingI can't explain
♪There's onlyone thing that I can do
♪I feel crocodilian-ishHow bout you?
♪Crocodilian-ish
♪I feel crocodilian-ish
♪Crocodilian-ish
♪I'm a cool crocodilianwho's always been around
♪Low on the ground
♪Crocodilian-ish!
-I wish I could fix it for good.
-Duck?
-Oh no, a duck can'tfix the time machine.
Ducks are always late.
-No, duck!
-A golden eagle!
-I can't believe my mind.
Your wings are longer than,
well, than my whole body!
-Golden eagleshave such huge wings.
Her wingspan is six feet wide!
Check it out!
-Whoa!
Hey and look what he left.
A message fromthe animal helpers.
-Hi guys, hi Zoboo!
Amy here.
Hey, look what I found!
Horseshoe crabs!
These horseshoecrabs are incredible!
They haven't changedin more than million years!
They were on the planetway before the dinosaurs!
All of the horseshoecrabs come to this bay to meet.
The males are the smaller ones.
They grab ontothe female's tail.
The female lays hereggs on the beach in wet sand
as she dragsthe males behind her.
After the eggsare laid, the crabs go backinto the water and swim away.
Andin a couple of weeks the eggshatch and the baby horseshoecrabs go into the water.
Hey! Turn off your motor please!
Horseshoe crabsare nesting here!
You should alwaysswitch off your motor when
you're this closeto any water creature.
If wewant these amazing prehistoriccreatures to stick around
for the next million years, we'd bettergive them their space!
-It's so, so, mangatsika!
-You know, Chris,I was thinking...
-I think you were thinkingwhat I was thinking!
-Sounds like a trip to me.
-To the closet!
♪They're going to the closet
♪They're going on a trip
♪They're going to the closet
♪To grab their stuff and split
Righteous!
Ahhhh!
♪They're goingon a cool adventure
♪And they don'tknow what's in store
♪They're coming from the closetand they're headed out the door.
-See you later Zob!
-Bye!
We're here in Africa!
-Looking for one ofthe largest crocs of all.
The Nile crocodile!
-and when you're lookingfor creatures, the river'sa great place to look.
Hippos!
Incredible!
They're one of the mostdangerous creatures in Africa.
Hippos have one ofthe widest mouths around.
Wow! Hippos areincredibly territorial.
They'll attackanyone who trespasses ontheir stretch of the river.
-So, we'd bettergive them their space.
Let's paddle.
-He's after us!
Go Martin, go!
-I'm going!
-Whoa! What was that?
-I don't know.
But I do know one thing.
We sprung a leak!
The hippos arestill on our tail!
-Bail out!
Head for shore!
-Whew! That was close.
-Yeah, but theseguys are even closer!
-The Nile crocodiles!
They're everywhere!
-We have to make our waythrough this maze of crocodiles.
-Let's head that way Martin.
Whoop, right there!
Chris, there'sone right over there.
-There's onein the water here see?
-Whoo! There's a big one there.
There's Nilecrocodiles everywhere!
-Let's head this way.
Whoa!
Luckily these crocodilesare resting in the sunshine
to bring up theirbody temperature,
so we can slip right on by.
-Chris, I found a path.
-Come on.
-All right, let's see!
Whoaa!
Not going that way.
-Looks like they'reeating something Martin.
-Yeah.
Crocodilesgather together wheneverthere's something to eat.
They all get togetherand compete for the food.
I don't think we'regoing to compete with them.
Let's find a different place.
-Can't go that way either.
-There's got to bea way through these crocs.
-Not that way.
-That way!
Whoa, big croc to the right.
Shhh, let's justslip right by him.
Watch out behind you!
Looks like there'sone more crocodile toget by, but he's a big one.
Easy,
easy...
-Alright, we did it!
-We made it throughthe maze of crocodiles.
-Let's head backto Animal Junction.
-Now all we have todo is watch out for lions.
-Yeah, they could be anywhere!
Did you hear that?
-Yeah, just keep on walking bro.
I don't hear Zoboo.
-Me neither.
I wonder what's going on?
Hey Zob...
Nice sh*t Zoboo.
-Well thanks brothers.
Look who's here.
It's a giant hamsterfrom millions of years ago.
-He's not a giant hamster!
-He's not?
-No!
-Well I thought thatsince Whipper was a lot
bigger millions ofyears ago that this must be a
giant hamster, visitingfrom a time machine.
-But Zoboo, thetime machine's broken.
-Oh, so this is definitelyfor sure not a hamster.
-No, he's a capybara!
Mangatsika!
My mind just remembered.
I know you. Youcame to visit before.
Well,I just forgot 'cause I thoughtyou were a giant hamster.
Well, I better notcall you Hampy any more.
How about I call you, hmmm,
Capy, Capy the Capybara?
Hey, look atthe way he's sniffing!
-Yeah, try it.
-It kind of blows out his nose.
Hey look, he'scooling off his behind.
-Sitting right in the mud!
You can tell he's happy now.
-Yeah. He's happybecause a capybara needsmud and water for survival.
The mud keeps his bodytemperature cool on hot days
in South America,where he lives.
-A capybara livesin herds and on a hot day,
the whole family likesgetting in on the action.
-Well, the capybara hasfinished wallowing in the mud...
-...but we haven't even started.
-Everybody into the mud wallow.
-Alright!
Whoo!
Yeah!
Mud's an important partof lots of creatures lives.
It feels good onhot skin and protects it.
Hey, it's funto fall in, right Chris?
-Yeah, I never passup a good mud puddle!
How does it feel Zoboo?
-Yeah! It feels so squishy.
-Hey you know capybaras love themud because it keeps them cool.
-It keeps thebugs from biting them.
-Mud-ka-sika!
-Hey Zoboo,
-Yeah?
-Remember when youhit me with that mud ball?
-Oh yeah!
Ohhh!
-Oh, I've got mud in my eyes,I can't see, oh there he is!
Alright!
-Ahhh, this is so relaxing.
I see why you like it Capy.
-Capybaras arevery alert creatures.
They're always onthe lookout for predators,
like black caimanswho love to hunt them.
-Try walkinglike a capybara. They got areally cool way of moving.
Get into the capybaramove and groove.
Right through the mud.
-This reminds meof one time in Zobooland.
I was leaping along,
leap, leap, leap,
and then I saw something thatmade me not believe my mind.
BabyZoboomafooasaurus was throwingsomething with his mouth
and that something was Cy.
-Again!
-Hey Zoboo, this giantlizard still thinks I'm a ball.
-Baby, Cy is not a ball.
-Not a ball?
-And Cy, Baby Zoboomafooasaurusis not a big lizard.
He's a dinosaur.
-A dinosaur?
They've been around for areally long time, haven't they?
-Yes they have,but I can show you somebodywho was in Zobooland first.
-First in Zobooland?Lead the way!
-It's Fibby!
She'sbeen around since Zoboolandwas all covered in water.
-Hi Zoboo. Hi Cy.
Do you want tocome underwater and see whatZobooland used to look like?
-Well sure, we'd alllove to come look underwater.
-Yeah, I wantto come too! Please!
-Whoaa!
So we all jumped inand saw what a great place
Zobooland must have been whenit was all covered in water.
The end.
-You and your pals in Zoboolandsure have a lot of fun, uh Zob?
-Oh yeah, we havefun a lot of the time.
What am I saying?We have fun all the time!
-And time travelling was great.
I'm just gladyou got us back in time,
otherwise we wouldhave missed the capybara.
-Thanks Zob.

Hi, my name is Dylan and thisis a banty rooster named Hans.
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.
