03x27 - Animal Hunters

Post by bunniefuu »

welcome to the world of amazing animal

hunters

hi Henry what are you two doing me and

crab Tuesday are going hunting hunting

in a supermarket yeah what hunting for

bodies oh right

you know hunter Henry I am too a hunter

I'm hunting for the cheapest Pizza

pretzels soda nothing but the best huh

what do you mean that's the best party

food ah so you're hunting for bargains

for a party

sure em got lots of guests coming

where's that meat counter why don't you

ask that leopard they're real hunters

and all they eat is meat huh maybe we

don't need mean after all a sub hunter

real hunters have to use perseverance

not to mention patience skill and

natural cunning excuse me I've only got

1750 to pay for this whole party I'd

like to see a leopard do that all right

these are cheap that's much better no

Tuesday how did you do that

all right a lion king of the jungle

terror of the animal kingdom who leaves

all the hunting to the lionesses they

leave the hunting to the girls hey

they're pretty good at it with teeth

like that I can see why hey leave her

alone

she just got lunch talk about ungrateful

get your own food I thought this show is

about hunters it is what the fly know

the Venus flytrap a plant with teeth

cool

most living things have to be Hunter's

Henry big or small they just don't

usually do it with a shopping cart hey

whatever works best

for animal hunters what works best is

different for everyone

you could learn a thing or two from them

Henry

what from that ant I gotta serve more

than leaves or this is gonna be one

boring party see even the snake think so

oh Henry we don't have much time not

that quick come on we got a party to get

ready you get the plates and I'll get

them food where all the food go save the

dancing for the party just tell me where

the food is uh-oh

you're no help what am I going to do a

real animal hunter would be able to find

food on their own Henry yeah I don't

need any help I'll show you how good a

hunter I am okay so it's not in there

not there nope I'm kind of glad it

wasn't in there come on Henry your

guests will be here soon

can't you say anything help them okay

how about timber

very funny thanks for the help if you're

going to hunt all on your own you'll

have to learn fast Henry take some tips

from this serval he's just a little guy

- who are you calling little so when

he's hunting alone he has to go for prey

that's easier to catch you mean he eats

rats

he eats whatever he can catch rats hares

birds and lizards excuse me they

obviously have no taste you can't be too

choosy when hunting is a matter of

survival poor little thing though

littles right just to stay alive a

serval needs to catch over 10 rats a day

so why is he hunting at night then smart

guy the cover of darkness gives you an

advantage when you have the servals keen

hearing to locate prey and with the

longest legs of any small cat they can

jump up and surprise their catch I bet

he can't reach that bird don't be so

sure that's amazing that's the kind of

skill you need when you hunt alone Henry

I'll say if I could jump that high I'd

reach the cookies on the top shelf

you're really not getting this hunting

thing are you

hunters hunt to stay alive that's why

they each have special ways of catching

the food they need many bats feed on

insects but this fishing bat has a

special diet low calorie pizza

take a guess his trick is to fly low

trawling the water for fish with his

feet when he feels one gotcha

talk about fly-fishing

you do have a lot to learn Henry well so

does he

why I may not be a great hunter yet but

I could sure teach him a thing or two

about table manners

you know mr. tidy yourself Henry like

what's with all the mess I guess you

haven't found the food yet duh smart guy

Henry you looked in there already I

looked everywhere already you don't you

don't think that someone took your food

do you mean that's exactly what I think

once we've eliminated the possible all

that's left is to to look completely

ridiculous you'll see I'll find the food

number ah what have we here

and where were you on the night of the

great marshmallow theft hey it's only a

praying mantis well it's better pray I

don't catch it with my party snacks hmm

trying to hide huh you have the right to

remain silent but it doesn't help me

much you know you could take a tip from

that horn frog it does all its hunting

by just sitting and waiting I don't have

time to sing wait my guests will be here

any minute

I got a hunt down that food uh nice and

subtle Henry

if you're going to snoop around just

watch this chameleon a master of sneaky

techniques even his friend over there is

jealous yeah

green with envy just watch

hey me trick with a tongue

Benny's really jealous now two points

for the angka million come on what are

you waiting for

gotta be fast in this business you're

right Henry chameleons can fire their

tongues in less than half a second no

time for prey to escape their sticky

grasp

but look before you leap Bonin can't

believe his multi-directional eyes this

time the bird gets away but chameleons

don't eat birds anyway do they I think

he might have tried to I think he was

just trying to show off bird brain

that's more like it a nice juicy little

worm

that's know were merry it's the tale of

a young cantle snake snake what's it

going hitching a ride to the supermarket

no he's using it as a lure excuse me a

lure another sneaky hunting trick that

frog is fooled into thinking it's a worm

too I wasn't really fooled but if that

frog is Oh No phew close help the snake

miss cantle snakes only use their tails

as lures when they're young maybe this

youngster needs some more practice yeah

well practice on somebody your own size

Oh

Henry Henry it's time for your news

report what now

yes now out of my way journalist ern

coming through

tonight super glue just how safe is it

for lizard and up designers agree

stripes are in this season

but now our top story flights in and out

of lower Bongo Bongo came to a

standstill yesterday following a sticky

incident with a giant bird eating spider

the Harrier acted who refused to speak

to our reporter had constructed an

elaborate high-rise trap to catch its

prey using the latest in web technology

the eight-legged engineers spawn a

gigantic net between bungle bungles

famous twin towers but the hunting trip

worked too well after netting a flock of

migrating Dodos for drumsticks and a

six-pack of barbecue wings the trap also

snared interrogated giraffe two other

balloons and some coming cold from

neighboring East Jujubee the spider who

seemed unaffected by the problems he'd

caused said if you think that's big

where do you see the next one

well wise lab here I come and next the

weather the weather the weather I got it

right or whether I got it wrong take a

guess rats

actually Henry you were kind of right

many animals do build amazing traps told

you but not for catching giraffes are

you sure this deadly pit was dug by an

ant lion see a lion could catch a

giraffe in that easy an ant lion Henry a

tiny Hunter who builds its traps for

termites and other insects it flicks up

grains of sand to try and knock victims

down into the pit once they're in

there's no escape from the claws hiding

below I'm glad I'm bigger than a termite

you were right about something else too

you're kidding I mean um what some of

Spiders

the most amazing traps are built by

[Music]

spiders cool and fast too we speeded the

film up Henry oh I knew that spiders

webs make incredibly strong silk Nets

whether they're catching flies other

spiders or even more deadly prey wow

that Silk must be pretty strong to hold

a scorpion it is even though it's over a

thousand times thinner than a human hair

spider's silk is as strong as steel

enough to hold some pretty big prey what

a bat you're

kidding excuse me but that's

unbelievable

uh-oh

[Music]

you see Henry even spiderwebs have their

limits it's not always easy to track

Food Thieves

down your food aha just as I thought the

criminal always returns to the scene of

the

[Music]

crime okay you Thief where's my

food oops something the matter they're

not food thieves

these are my party guests just a little

joke

guys maybe they could help you hunt down

your food hunting can be much easier in

groups good idea hey guys how about we

play a party game it's called hunt the

horses doers or deres either

[Music]

one

[Music]

aren't you going to help them the key to

any successful investigation delegate

all the work wonder what's on

TV you can't delegate all the time Henry

Teamwork

sometimes you have to work together to

be a successful Hunter you do that's

good news to

me good news to me get it oh I get it

Henry hey maybe your friends could track

you down a sense of humor too very funny

there are other narrators out there you

know so anyway about these wild dogs I

thought dogs hunted in packs this guy's

on his

own and he's not doing too good by the

look of it

[Applause]

[Music]

either oh okay here comes the

Cavalry watch it learn kid this is how

the

hunt maybe you should watch him learn

too huh Henry okay

okay see how they Panic the ganoes

running the herd around until they split

one animal away from the

others that's teamwork

Henry a bit like sheep dogs huh kind of

except sheep dogs aren't supposed to eat

the Sheep at the end of it well that's

not very nice like I said Animal Hunters

don't hunt for fun they have to k*ll to

survive I guess

so hey here's the Hopeless Hunter again

I hope he learned something it's a she

Henry and since she's not very good at

hunting she stayed behind to babysit the

pups and let the more experienced dogs

catch dinner oh why didn't you say so

but it looks like they came back empty P

when you can't carry all the groceries

eat as much as you can and regurgitate

it back home for the kids oh gross

you know a better way for dogs to get a

whole ganoe home have it

Ants

delivered you could use these guys Henry

they can carry eight times their own

weight what ants you're not telling me

they hunt down ganoes no but ants

actually eat more meat than all the

other meat eaters put together really

that's

amazing

[Music]

these army ants are masters of hunting

and packs they overwhelm their prey by

sheer weight of numbers traveling in the

thousands or even millions and anything

that gets in their way they'll eat and I

mean anything even lizards oh come on

those little things I'm telling you

Henry you don't want to be lying around

when these guys are on the

[Music]

March

[Music]

that

[Music]

All Time Best

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

by spitting at it that's some trick it

sure

is oops sorry that's all right these

guys can knock an ant off a branch up to

10 ft above the water and if at first

they don't succeed they just keep

spitting until they do sometimes a whole

bunch of Archer fish get together and

spit to have a better chance of hitting

something yeah and the Ant is toast the

Archer fish my all-time best amazing

animal

[Music]

[Music]

Hunter

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Henrys Rule

any news from your pack of hunters Henry

yes and all bad

oh so why are you fishing then stress

relief no it's the only place we haven't

looked for the food looks like you

caught something finally we can

eat be eat

run even hunters get hunted sometimes

Henry there's almost always something

bigger than you out there like this rock

python no I don't think I like it at all

thanks no but this servil thinks he

might get a huge meal out of it hey be

careful buddy well you might end up

making a light snack of yourself he

knows that but a nice big snake would

keep him fed for a long time looks like

dealing with a 20ft snake is making him

pause for Thought haha he'd better use

his paw to get out of there Henry's rule

number one one in doubt

run I think this lioness is having

Buffalo

doubts too why what's she

after

this Buffalo so the lion is the greatest

hunter of them all she can take him no

problem it's not that easy a buffalo is

Big heavier than five Lions put together

it's like attacking a truck with spikes

on it and there's only one of her and a

lot of them yeah but a lion's still

pretty scary scary yes but even so only

one in 10 lion hunts succeed would you

mess with a face like that don't tempt

me told

[Music]
