[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
uh
[Music]
[Music]
welcome to the world of hey this one's
my show
amazing scaly animals
[Music]
i had the most amazing dream i had
feathers
no scales and i was flying
somewhere over the rainbow but when i
went to land
hi how you doing i got the sneezes
so and there i was scary old me again
and all the birds were laughing and then
i woke up
oh now so you woke up on the wrong side
of the bed then
and now i can't find my morning paper
here it comes
where oh there i'll bet you don't treat
your furry customers like that
when you look at this croc shock
snake bites dog scales in jail who
writes this stuff
it must have been a bad scale day it's
anti-scale is what it is
i've had it is a typically
vicious as this poor defenseless fluffy
check
must now discover to its peril hey this
just isn't fair we can't help being
scaly
why can't people understand reptiles are
people too
ah i like your scales
makes me so mad i can just just
just sing well if you insist
[Music]
if you wanna be safe and sound
some protection must be found
to help you stay
some alive take flight
or only come out at night
and that works fine for
them
cats and dogs have tails
all sailboats have sails
but a lizard like me henry
scales
[Music]
chameleons are my friends
who change color now and then
a warmth
[Music]
turtles and snakes all
reptiles for goodness sakes
scales to cover
ourselves
cats and dogs have tails
s car go are snails
but a lizard like me and we
need skills
[Music]
baby scales aren't for you
but how can i do the things that i do
scales are right
for me
scaly creatures aren't a sham
i like myself the way that i am
so i'm gonna tell the world
cats and dogs have tails
all sailboats have sails
but a lizard like me henry
needs scale
[Music]
nice song henry but why the big speakers
i'm declaring today national
scale day so i have to get the message
out
celebrate scale day spread the word
hug a lizard reptiles have feelings too
you know
henry what's that wire behind your car
that's the power cable for my speakers
uh oh bad idea
henry stop what
i'll tell you what's wrong with scales
they ache
nothing's perfect henry but scales are
one of the best protective coverings
there is
they're hard wearing protect against
insect bites and they come in all shapes
and sizes
they also look neat but they're not the
most flexible things in the world
it's like wearing armor but scales are
waterproof which comes in handy for
swimming lizards
so when are we going to see a lizard
lifeguard on tv
uh that might take some time but lizards
aren't the only scaly animals
right beneath the surface what do you
find a big
ugly fish that's an amazonian pure raku
and guess what it's covered in scales
right fish were actually the first
vertebrates to have scales
no way you mean us lizards didn't get
there first nope and fish scales are
each separate
unlike reptiles your scales are all
linked together to form a continuous
skin
at least my swimsuits are one piece even
one mammal has developed scales
it's an anteater called a pangolin i
call that an artichoke with legs
henry be nice okay i guess some mammals
have got good taste
welcome to the national scale day
tv special and here's your host
henry the blizzard hello
thank you thank you happy scale day
tonight
we're going to prove that scaly animals
aren't scary at all
so let's not waste any more time and
start by introducing our guests
well hank your panel of scaly experts
tonight
are the iguana the bearded lizard
and the thrilled lizard let's hear it
oh yes hello listen to lizard now what
do you think is the best part about
having scales
is it all the money you save on haircuts
obviously having a bad scale day and you
sir
do you think a lack of fur or feathers
contributes to the negative
image of scaly animals hmm
camera shy eh am i the only lizard with
any personality around here
and what about you sir what's the
scariest thing you've ever done
and just how scary can a lizard be with
a name like frilly cover
run away
uh we apologize for the slight um
technical hitch we seem to be
experiencing at the moment uh but we'll
be right back after a short commercial
break
you stay if you want i'm out of here you
try to help these guys and they act like
th*gs not the best start to your scale
campaign henry
just accept it some scaly animals are
designed for fighting
take these two heavyweights desert
tortoises they spend most of the year in
underground burrows but when it's mating
season the males are ready to rumble
[Music]
that's about as exciting as watching
plants play part cheesy
this is no laughing matter henry when
tortoises fight they need to roll with
the punches
that's where the thick scaly shell comes
in it helps protect them from harm
look at them is this a fight or a salsa
dancing contest
they're trying to scare each other when
that doesn't work they attack
looks dangerous with those pointy bits
on their fronts they use those prongs to
flip each other over may the promised
man win
if that happens the losing tortoise may
die if it can't flip itself back
[Music]
hey kid how'd you like to be head over
heels in love huh
oh that's all right i like being single
yes siree
don't mind me come back in i'm not
finished with you bye
in the tranquil waters of africa's lake
tanganyika lurks another
scaly scoundrel to blacken the family
name
don't push it the scale biter cichlid is
a master of disguise
uh where is it then there it's a great
fish impression does it do lizards too
it is a fish henry it just pretends to
be another kind of fish so we can get
close
and eat their scales
and another
and another
didn't his mommy tell him not to pick
his food no
but here's a cichlid who will there once
was a scale-biting fish
who said scales are my favorite dish
then he bit a grey guy who called him
small fry
and had to scram quick or get squished
henry henry it's time for your report on
lizards
what now yes now
out of my way journal lizard coming
through
[Music]
[Applause]
tonight friendly marine iguanas agreed
to agree about
everything ever and
tortoise happily provides first free
park and ride service
i'm not sure you're the most impartial
reporter henry
would you mind if i read the report just
this once
hmm i don't see why not
thanks hen now top story it's official
lizards are the laziest animals on earth
taking several medals in this year's
lazy olympics
lizards beat the sloth in the sloth this
competition
and the slugs and sluggishness when
asked how they felt about it
afterwards they all said
it's now been revealed that some lizards
are battery operated
but they keep forgetting to change the
batteries which may be why they never
cook anything
they just phone out for pizza hey pole
show lizard's favorite pizza toppings
are
flies moths beetles and ants so next
time a lizard asks you to dinner tell
him to bug off
the pizza that is hmm
you wise guy i think you made it all up
what like you don't make up your reports
henry
you're right thank
you but not about lizards you got us all
wrong
you warm-blooded creatures just don't
understand
we're not lazy it just takes us a while
to get going when it's cold
look at this chameleon he's not moving
too quickly
give him a chance it's early he does
this trick called
sunny side dark where one side stays
bright for camouflage
and the other goes dark to soak up the
rays now he's warmed up
and ready for breakfast come and get it
fresh beetles get him while you're hot
wow what a mover but will he be beat by
a beetle
or lick him like a lizard
oh yeah crunchy on the outside
juicy in the middle i take it all back
henry
lizards aren't lazy just weird
do you see a snack shack anywhere you
chase beetles too if you lived out here
and the sand gets so hot
feeling hot hot hot you said lizards
were cold-blooded
that means our inside temperature goes
up and down with the outside temperature
that makes him a hot-blooded namibian
shade lover
yeah right he stays still to avoid
generating heat
and turns bright to reflect sunlight
away excuse me henry but that's
[Music]
amazing
[Music]
[Music]
hi happy scale day so i see you've given
up your tv career henry
oh i wouldn't do that but i've decided
what this campaign needs
is the personal touch shake some paws
kiss some babies and
what else hmm
knock on some more doors i don't know if
i'd go in there if i were you henry
why not a family of eagles lives there
they sometimes eat guys like you moving
right along
how about this one leopards they've been
known to get a few scales between their
teeth
sheesh this is one rough neighborhood
with a bad appetite
maybe i'll just put a flyer through the
door
see what i mean no respect speaking of
flyers are those birdy feet
i see at least they're no threat to us
scalies don't be so sure henry a bird's
scaly feet are a reminder of its
reptilian past
and this roadrunner thinks nothing of
having family over for dinner
yikes so that rattlesnakes is relative
no wonder they don't get along
that roadrunner can sprint up to 30
miles per hour
mimi mr rattlesnake there's a road
runner on your tail
[Music]
the rattlesnake can't outrun the
roadrunner but it can defend itself if
it has to
that rattle is a scaly reminder to the
road runner that it can pack a nasty
bite
don't do it bird brain a scalies have to
stick together
the truth is a fight could prove lethal
to both one bite from that
rattler could deliver enough poison to
k*ll the roadrunner
the rattlesnake coils ready to strike
looks like roadrunner's getting the
message
i think that was roadrunner for never
mind
or maybe round two well just you try it
mr roadrunner
you may be speedy but old rattler here
will make fast food out of you yet
hey it worked he knew he'd met his match
yeah
go pick on something fluffy
[Music]
[Applause]
uh
[Music]
and now ladies and gentle lizards
it's time for a henry's amazing golden
gecko awards
the winners of my all-time best scaly
animals
are
[Music]
third prize goes to the scale biter
cichlid
for loving scales so much it needs some
[Applause]
in second place for being up to his
eyeballs in amazing technicolor scales
the chameleon but tonight's golden gecko
award for all-time best scaly animal
goes to
the crocodile smile for the cameras now
crockey
gorgeous
crocodiles first became popular in
ancient egypt not only did the egyptians
build the pyramids but they also built
some pretty cool temples to honor the
crocodiles
and if you look around them you'll see
that one of their biggest stars was this
guy
sobek the crocodile god half man half
reptile
he was also all powerful and probably
would have been a huge movie star
only they hadn't invented movies so he
had to settle for being a rock star
instead
get it rock star yes henry but what
about
real crocodiles i was just getting there
even today in the waters of the nile
you can see what got those ancient
egyptians so excited
talk about making a splash these awesome
powerful beasts could strike fear in the
hearts of mortal men
during the september floods the
crocodiles would appear in their
thousands
to the egyptians their comings signified
the lasting fertility of the lands
and they worship them like gods as a way
of saying thank you
no so they didn't get eaten huh
well you know what they used to say swim
in september
you might get dismembered they did not
they might have ah it was a golden age
for crocodiles
people used to feed them and decorate
them in jewels those egyptians knew how
to treat a reptile right
is that a hint they even used to mummify
crocodiles
a secret they're still trying to keep
under wraps
which is why crocodiles among all scaly
animals top the scales
with a whopping 10 out of 10. this
golden gecko is yours
[Music]
oh
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
okay everybody we have to set up for the
scale day concert giant stage
giant speakers and a cool video wall
what do you think who are you talking to
henry all my volunteers
what volunteers hey nobody showed up
but it's almost time we've got work to
do looks like i'll just have to do
everything myself
[Music]
what do you think i didn't know you had
it in you
i thought you knew by now us lizards are
amazing
i'm beginning to get the message just to
make sure
i've asked a few of my scaly friends to
drop us a line
like the toki gekko who you can count on
to scale any wall
that's thanks to the special bristly
scales on their feet
which stick to just about anything
unsticking them is the tricky part he
writes
dear henry wish i could be there but i'm
stuck in my house and i'm crawling up
the walls
have a great day your pal okay
and this telegram just in from draco my
flying lizard friend
dear henry stop i'm soaring in on flaps
of skin
stop tree the tree up to 30 meters at a
time
stop would write more but can't stop
stop
isn't that nice and listen to this
dear henry i may not stick to walls
or fly but i'll do my best to make it
crawling from tree to tree in the rain
forest can be tricky
so if i get into any trouble i'll just
take the plunge
and hope there's a river below
i'm not a bad swimmer actually i'm good
underwater i think scales are great
i would like to show off my spiky set
which the girl iguanas love
scale power forever iggy iguana
i'm impressed henry you have some pretty
amazing scaly friends
after all and you know a lot about them
too

scales is all right
