[ grunts]

Frogs are the best jumpers in the whole world!

You know, fish can jump, too.

They can?

Sure, fish can jump.

Some fish can jump

six feet in the air.

[ gasps ]: For al?

That's nothing.

There are fish out there who can jump even higher.

Ocean Sunfish-- ever heard of 'em?

Uh, no.

Didn't think so, Wartzy boy,

but they can jump ten, ten feet in the air!

Not too shabby, eh?

Wow, Ick,

you must be proud to be a fish.

You better believe it.

There's even a fish who can fly!

Flying fish?

No way!

You think I'm fibbing.

But-but-but fish can't fly, Ick.

Everybody knows that.

[ gasps ]

You made that up.

I did not!

You did, and I know how to prove it.

Hey, hey, listen!

Being a fish is where it's at!

I am the king of this pond!

Hey, where's that music coming from?

Ah!

♪ I'm the king, the king of the pond ♪

♪ The master of all I put my fins upon ♪

♪ You want to take a swim-- eh, give me a shout ♪

♪ I'm sure we can probably work something out ♪

♪ How am I doing?

♪ Oh, fine, I guess

♪ I'd rather be here than in Loch Ness ♪

♪ But it's always been my dream to have a second home ♪

♪ In the clear blue waters off of Mexico ♪

♪ Arriba! ♪ King of the pond, king of the pond♪

♪ Everybody knows he's the king of the pond ♪

♪ King of the pond, swimming around ♪

♪ Everybody knows he's the king of the pond ♪

♪ Eh, what am I thinking?

♪ Life as a fish is a dream come true ♪

♪ We always have a perfect beachfront view ♪

♪ And we can eat better than a movie star ♪

♪ On a farm-fresh plate of bugs tartar, mm! ♪

♪ Come on in

♪ The water's fine

♪ This little pool, eh, it seats about nine ♪

♪ But I really can't wait to soak my fins ♪

♪ As soon as the hot tub jets go in, yeah ♪

♪ King of the pond, king of the pond♪

♪ Hey ♪ Everybody knows he's the king of the pond ♪

♪ The water's fine! ♪ King of the pond, he's swimming around♪

♪ Have you tried the algae? ♪ Everybody knows he's the king of the pond ♪

♪ Ah, it's good to be the king

♪ Home sweet home.

[ humming ]

Burdette, Burdette!

You're not going to believe what Ick just told me.

Oh, excuse me!

Oh, sorry.

I'm fluffing.

It's very difficult when my fluffing gets interrupted.

[ humming ]

Is fluffing your feathers fun?

Well... I do enjoy it,

but I must say, well, feathers don't look this good

without a little fluff.

Your feathers look very good, Burdette.

Why, thank you, Wartz.

Every bird knows: Take good care of your feathers,

and they'll take good care of you.

How do your feathers take care of you, Burdette?

Well, Wartz, for one thing, when my feathers are fluffed

full of air, they help me stay warm.

Gosh, I didn't know that, Burdette.

And feathers also help birds fly, right?

Um, Burdette, birds do fly, right?

That's right, Wartz.

Uh, insects fly, too... right?

That's right, Wartz.

Um, have you ever heard of a fish that flies?

What?!

How on earth could a fish fly?

Well, do they have wings?

Do they have feathers?

A flying fish would be as ridiculous

as a bird who, well... a-a bird who doesn't fly.

But, Burdette, you told me that penguins don't fly,

or ostriches, or-or kiwis...

Okay, okay, okay,

so there are some birds out there who don't fly,

but most of us do.

But a fish that flies?

Ridiculous!

Yeah.

I think Ick made it up.

But maybe, if there are birds who don't fly...

maybe there's a fish out there who does.

Well, does that mean

I could be flying around one day

and get hit by a flying flounder?

I don't know, Burdette. Maybe.

We'd better find out more about this.

Well, let's go ask Oko.

Yeah, he knows about lots of strange things.

Om...

om...

Om...

I wonder what he's doing.

Om...

om...

I like that sound he's making.

Ah, little ones,

would you like to join me in a little yoga?

We would like to, Oko,

but we have something we need to clear up right away.

Oh, really?

What is that, little ones?

Oko, Ick told me that there are flying fish,

and-and I think he made it up.

Fish-- do they fly?

I think not.

Hmm, a very good question.

Yes, and just in case, I need to know

if some fish decides to build a nest right next to mine

what I should do.

Welcome them to the neighborhood, of course!

[ laughing]

I don't know how I feel about that.

You never know. It might be good.

WARTZ:Really?

Yes. There are so many different creatures in the big, big world,

and some of them are very unusual.

We make the world great because we are so different.

I guess that's true, but flying fish?

Ah, sometimes what seems impossible is very possible.

Let me ask you: Can you think of an animal that can fly

who is not a bird or an insect?

Wait a second.

Snook told me about this once.

An animal that can fly

that isn't a bird or an insect?

Oh, I don't know.

Oh, a bat!

Bats can fly, and they aren't birds.

You are correct, little one.

Bats are mammals.

That's true.

See? You are already opening your mind to the possibilities.

There is so much to find out about in the big, big world.

♪ Gonna pick up lots of clues

♪ It's the kind of education

♪ Where we're learning while we do ♪

[ laughing]

There are wonderful things in the big, big world

if you open your eyes to them.

Well, I want to know what Snook thinks about this.

I still think that Ick is making up stories.

[ grunts]

I always love finding out

new amazing facts about animals.

Hmm, maybe that's 'cause I am one.

Me, too.

Well, I think animals are pretty amazing, too.

After all, I am a pretty great one myself.

But fish that can fly?

I don't think so.

Well, let's take a look in this book.

It's all about animals that can fly.

Oh, just so you know, I already looked for sloths.

Uh, we're not in here.

Thank goodness, Snook.

Oh, I don't think you're made for flying.

[ chuckles]

[ gasping ]

BURDETTE:Oh, my!

It's true!

Oh, no!

There are fish who can fly.

Well, actually, they glide.

See, they use

their large fins as wings so they can glide through the air.

Some can go pretty far that way.

WARTZ: Oh, and look!

There are flying squirrels!

SNOOK: Oh, yeah!

They glide using flaps of skin

that run from their front legs to their hind legs.

And look at this.

The Flying Paradise Tree Snake.

It glides by flattening its entire body

and floating down to another tree.

So, Snook,

they don't really fly as much as glide on the air.

Well, that's true, Burdette,

but animals can do lots of amazing things

you don't expect.

They sure do.

Yeah, like, there are birds, such as ducks and penguins,

that can swim underwater.

Ooh! Aren't we birds talented?

Oh, yeah, and did you know that there are catfish

that can breathe air?

They can even walk on the ground if they need to.

They're called Walking Catfish.

Whoa! Wait until Ick hears that.

I bet you he doesn't know

that there are fish who can walk around.

Come on, Wartz.

I can't wait to tell Ick about that!

Have fun!

Hey, Ick... we owe you an a...

an apology.

Oh, really?

What a surprise!

So I was right, right, right, right...

as always!

Not always, Ick.

Why, remember the time when you said

that the rain was going to rise up to the top

of the tree...Burdette? Burdette!

Oh, never mind.

I'm sorry I didn't believe you, Ick.

Me, too.

No problem.

I have to admit that a flying fish

does sound pretty strange at first.

Well, Ick,

it's not really that strange

once you know all the amazing things

that animals can do.

And not as weird

as an air-breathing catfish who can walk.

A walking catfish?

Nah. Who'd believe that?

Well, and then there are birds

that can swim, too.

Birds that can swim?!

Oh, come on!

Oh, you're joking, right?

[ laughing]: That's funny.

Really funny!

[ laughing]

Well, maybe Snook can tell you about that some other day.

Ta-ta-ta!

Wartz, you've got to tell me!

Tell me the truth now.

Birds don't swim, do they?

Well, Ick, all I can say

is that animals do amazing things,

and you've got to open your mind to the possibilities.

It's so great to be a monkey.

Yeah, but you know, besides eating bananas

and swinging from vines,

monkeys-- especially marmosets like us--

like to learn stuff.

Yeah! Monkeys, bananas...

Hey, why haven't we ever sang a banana song?

I've loved them ever since I was a baby.

[ giggling]

Well, dear brother,

there does happen to be a baby song in here.

Hey, you're back.

You know, there are so many amazing creatures

that live here in the World Tree.

Yeah, we got marmosets, anteaters, turtles, monkeys,

birds, ants and frogs... and you.

Yup, you're an animal, too.

Animals sure are cool...

especially turtles like my friend Madge.

Did you know that Madge doesn't have any teeth?

And it's not because she's so old.

Turtles have hard, sharp edges in their mouths

instead of teeth, and those are what Madge uses

to munch her food.

She uses her mouth, mm, almost like a bird uses its beak.

Hey, can you think of one of my friends who has a beak?

That's right-- Burdette.

Every animal I know is special in some way.

You may have heard Smooch and Winslow saying

that our fish friend Ick is slimy.

Well, uh, he is!

Ick's skin makes its very own slimy covering

to protect him from getting sick

and to cover cuts so they can heal.

And that slimy coating also helps Ick zip

through the water really fast.

Imagine how fast you would be able to swim

if you were as slippery as a fish.
