Daisy: The Grand Mystery of the Grand Canyon

Nature Cat: Ahhh!

There is nothing like a hike through nature

with your very best friends, aye-what?

Squeeks: You got that right, man!

Daisy: Hey, Nature Cat, where are we hiking to?

Nature Cat: Today we are hiking to the park!

Hal: Ooh! Can we go on the swings there, baby?

Nature Cat: No swings at this park.

Daisy: Can we go on the slide there?

Nature Cat: No slides.

Squeeks: What about the monkey bars!

It's gotta have monkey bars, man!

Nature Cat: Sorry, no monkey bars either.

Squeeks: I'm sorry. No monkey bars!?

What kind of a park is this, Nature Cat?

Nature Cat: Behold!

The Grand Canyon!

Daisy/Squeeks/Hal: WHOOOAAAAH!

Daisy: It's so wide!

Squeeks: And so deep!

Hal: And so gorgeously, stunning and picturesque!

Squeeks: Hold on one second.

You mean to tell me the Grand Canyon is a park?

Nature Cat: Absolutely!

This is Grand Canyon National Park!

Hal: Seems pretty big to be a park.

Nature Cat: Well, you're lucky I'm here,

for I am a Grand Canyon expert!

Daisy: Huh. Really? Nature Cat: Oh yes!

I know lots about this here canyon.

Squeeks: Oh yeah? Like what?

Nature Cat: Well, it's grand!

Squeeks: Yeah. What else?

Nature Cat: It is also a canyon.

Hal: How deep is it? Daisy: How wide is it?

Squeeks: What kind of animals live here?

Nature Cat: Let me think. Well... Hmmmmmm,

uh...I have no idea.

Squeeks: Wow what an expert.

Daisy: Says here that the widest part of the Canyon is miles!

All: Oooh! The Grand Canyon is wide!

Daisy: It also says that the canyon is so deep,

that if you took the World's tallest

skyscraper and stacked it up two

times at the bottom of the canyon...

Daisy: They still wouldn't reach the top of the canyon.

All: Whoah! The Grand Canyon is super deep!

Daisy: It also says that the Grand Canyon

is one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural world.

Hal: (gasps) It is a wonder, 'cause it took my breath away!

(gasps) It did it again!

Nature Cat: It's also a wonder because

it makes me wonder something.

How did the Grand Canyon get soooo deep and sooo wide!

Hal/Daisy/Squeeks: I was wondering the same thing!

Daisy: Me too! Squeeks: How did it happen?

BH Sheep: BAAAAAAAH!

All: AHHHHHHH!

BH Sheep: BAAAAAAAH! Daisy: Who are you?

BH Sheep: I'm a Big Horn Sheep,

and I live here in the Grand Canyon.

Hal: Hi Big Horn Sheep, it's me, Big Dog Hal.

BH Sheep: Well, Big Dog Hal, I can see you and your

friends want to know more about the Grand Canyon!

Nature Cat: That's right!

We'd like to know how the Grand Canyon got sooo deep

and sooo wide!

BH Sheep: That my feline amigo is a mystery

you will have to solve.

In fact, it's the Grand Mystery of the Grand Canyon!

All: Ooohhh!

Nature Cat: What do we do to solve this grand mystery?

BH Sheep: You must explore and investigate all around,

for the answer lies in the canyon itself!

Nature Cat: Uh. Where?

BH Sheep: I've said too much! Bye-baaaaaah!

BH Sheep: I've said too much! Bye-baaaaaah! Nature Cat: Wait come back!

Nature Cat: Wait come back!

Which way do we go?

Squeeks: Oh no!

Now we'll never find out how the Grand Canyon

got so deep and so wide!

NEVER NEVER NEVER!

Nature Cat: Sure we will, Squeeks.

We're Nature Explorers, right?

Squeeks/Daisy: Right! Hal: Wrong! I mean right. I said, right.

Let the record show I said right!

Nature Cat: And can Nature Explorers

explore the Grand Canyon?

Hal/Daisy/Squeeks: We sure can-yon!

Hal: Hahaha! I don't get it.

Daisy: Man oh man!

Squeeks: Whoa mama!

Look at all the layers of color in that rock!

Hal: Wait! Is it still breath taking?

(gasps) Why, yes it is.

Daisy: And look down there!

Nature Cat: Ah! Looks like a small brook.

Daisy: Hey! Do you think that could have anything

to do with how the canyon was formed?

Nature Cat: Why, that little brook?

Yeah right! There's no way!

Squeeks: Hey guys! Check out these pine trees!

Squeeks: They're ginormous!

Squeeks: Its pine needles are almost as tall as me. Wow!

Squeeks: By jove, I think I've got it!

Hal: Wait, you've got jove? How do I get some jove?

Who's handing out the jove around here?

Come on, man, help a doggy out with some jove, will ya?

Squeeks: No, Hal! Listen.

I think I solved the Grand Mystery of the Grand Canyon.

Daisy: What is it?

Squeeks: I believe that this was once the land of a giant!

Hear me out.

Squeeks: This giant,

we'll call her, Linda.

She grew giant trees.

She also had a giant shovel.

Which she used to dig out a giant canyon !

(laughs) The end.

Hal: Yay!

We figured out the Grand Mystery of the Grand Canyon!

Daisy: Hm...I'm not so sure, you guys.

All: Hmm...

Squirrel: Greetings! All: Ahhhhhh!

Hal: Ooh! Look a Squirrel.

Squirrel: Not just any Squirrel, I'm an Abert's Squirrel.

Hal: Hi, Abert's Squirrel, it's me, Halbert.

(laughs) I like your ears.

Squirrel: Thank you, Halbert!

Well, these ears couldn't help overhearing what you said.

So, the Grand Canyon was not formed by a giant with a shovel.

Squeeks: You sure about that, Squirrel?

Cause I think it's a pretty good theory.

Squirrel: Oh yes! The Grand Canyon's my home,

and I know how it got so deep and so wide!

All: How? Tell us! Tell us! Please!

Squirrel: That my friends is the Grand Mystery

of the Grand Canyon! You must solve it yourself!

All: Awwww.

Squirrel: But I will give you a clue.

To find out how the Grand Canyon was formed,

you must go deeper.

Daisy: Deeper? Where?

Squirrel: Why, deeper into the canyon, of course.

Good luck and safe travels my friends!

Nature Cat: You heard the Squirrel!

Let's go deeper!

Onward and Let's Go Deeperward!

Daisy: You know, now that we're getting closer,

I don't think that's a brook.

Nature Cat: Hmm. Maybe it's more of a stream.

Daisy: Hmm. I still wonder if it has something to do

with how the canyon was formed.

Nature Cat: A stream?

Make this huge canyon?!

No way!

Nature Cat: Ahhhh! Snake!

Lizard: Snake? Where?

Daisy: It's not a snake, it's a lizard.

Hal: Hi Lizard, it's me, Hal-zard.

That was a little shoe horned... but you know what I meant.

Lizard: Hey, I'm not just any Lizard, I'm a Chuckwalla!

Squeeks: Come again? Chuckwalla?

You said? Am I saying that right?

Chuckwalla?

Chuckwalla-chuckwalla- chuckwalla-chuckwalla!

Chuckwalla: Please don't dance near me,

it just increases my sense of danger!

Hal: Whoooaaa! How did you do that?

Chuckwalla: Well, Hal-zard, I inflate my body like a balloon

to make sure I'm secure in this space between rocks.

It's how I protect myself.

Hal: Hey, that's it!

I think I solved the Grand Mystery of the Grand Canyon!

Squeeks: Well, what is it?

Hal: I think a whole bunch of these guys

were all hiding in a whole bunch of rocks...see...

...and they all inflated their bodies at once and...

they formed the Grand Canyon!

Tah deeee!

Chuckwalla: Oh Hal-zard...

No that's not the way the Grand Canyon was formed!

Squeeks: Well, then how was it formed?

You gotta tell us!

Don't leave us hanging, Chuckwalla!

Chuckwalla: Sorry,

if you want to know how the Grand Canyon was formed,

you have to go even deeper!

Nature Cat: Can we go deeper?

Hal/Daisy/Squeeks: You know we can-yon!

Hal: (laughs) Still don't get it...

Daisy: You know, now that we're closer,

I'm thinking that's not a brook or a stream.

I think that's a river!

Nature Cat: No matter what kind of waterway it is,

I still don't think it could have anything

to do with how this canyon was formed.

Daisy: Yeah. Probably not.

Hal: Do you see what I see?

Squeeks: A waterfall!

Woohoo! Yeah!

Last one in is a moldy cheddar!

Squeeks: (laughing)

Daisy: Whoa! You guys!

Look at this!

The water is moving the sand as it flows through it.

Nature Cat: I see! (b*at) And this means what now?

Daisy: It means I think I know how the Grand Canyon formed!

NC/Squeeks/Hal: How?

Daisy: Water!

Squeeks: Water? What water?

Daisy: We gotta go deeper! We gotta get to the river!

Guys, we're going to need some mules!

♪

Daisy: I got it!

The solution to the Grand Mystery of the Grand Canyon!

Daisy: I think that this river rushed over the land

for a long, long, long, long time!

Daisy: And after a long, long, long, long time,

it started to wear away the rock,

that's called erosion.

And for millions of years,

the water kept eroding the rocks and the canyon got deeper.

And wider. And deeper. And wider.

Daisy...We have the Grand Canyon!!!

Nature Cat: I hate to disappoint you, Daisy, but...

BH Sheep: You're absolutely right!

Daisy: I am! Nature Cat: She is?!

BH Sheep: Yup!

The Colorado River formed the canyon over millions of years!

Do you know what this means?

All: What? Hal: Of course I do...

not...What?

BH Sheep: You solved the Grand Mystery

of the Grand Canyon!

Nature Cat: Wow! I don't normally like water,

but today I feel the need to sing about it.

Harold: But that's not all friends.

We're going to have a contest right now to find

the strongest animal in your neck of the woods!

The winner gets to join us on our world tour!

Harold: Every contestant will weigh in,

and then I'll give you something to lift

that weighs the same as you. Got it?

Turtle: Lift my own weight?

I'm out.

Squirrel: Yeah. I don't want to hurt myself.

With my back and all...

Squeeks: I'm not worried.

I lift my cousin Marvin all the time when I hug him hello

and we kinda weigh the same.

No problem.

Nature Cat: This is so exciting!

I've never tried lifting my own weight before.

It'll be a new adventure!

Ronald: Oh. Hello, Nature Cat.

Nature Cat: Hello, Ronald.

Ronald/NC: I see you're entering this contest.

Squeeks: Wow. Ronald and Nature Cat staring each other down

What a shock.

Nature Cat: Actually, not today, I'm entering for the adventure!

If Ronald wins and goes on the tour, good for him!

Ronald: Aw, thanks, I mean...thanks, Nature Cat!

Harold: Okay let's weigh in our first lifter.

Okay, Robin.

This bag of pennies weighs the same as you.

Let's see if you can lift it.

Harold: Aw, too bad! Good try, though!

It's hard to lift your own weight!

Next up is... who's next?

Hal: Here she is, world!

The Mighty Squeeks!

She's from the woods, and she's got the goods!

Harold: Ready to weigh in, Squeeks?

Squeeks: Oh she's ready. She was born ready.

Hyeeya!

Harold: Here you go, Squeeks.

This teacup weighs the same as you do.

Squeeks: (struggling)

Squeeks: Wow, that's heavy.

Squeeks: (struggling)

(cheering) Harold: Success!

Squeeks lifted her own weight.

Squeeks: Woah, I am spent. Gravity is no joke you guys.

Squeeks: Woah, I am spent. Gravity is no joke you guys. I need a minute. Ha ha.

I need a minute. Ha ha.

Wow. (deep breathing)

Crowd: (cheering) Squeeks does it!

Congratulations!

Harold: So, Nature Cat, based on your weight,

you get to try to lift...

this watermelon, which weighs the same as you do.

Nature Cat: Watermelon?

Why does it have to be water-melon?

Okay, lift with your knees, new adventure...

you can doo thiis!

Nature Cat: (struggling)

Crowd: (gasps)

Harold: Oooh sorry, Nature Cat!

Good try!

Nature Cat: Aw, raindrops.

But it was an adven- Ronald: Let's wrap this up!

I have to go home and pack for the world tour!

Harold: Muffin, will you please bring Ronald

two sacks of flour to lift?

Ronald: Two sacks of flour?

That's too heavy!

Muffin It's not too heavy for me, cat.

Harold It weighs the same as you, Ronald!

Ronald: (struggles)

Crowd: (Gasps)

Ronald: (struggles)

Crowd: (cheers)

Ronald: Ha! I did it!

Let's go on tour!

Boom-shaka-laka!

Harold: But Squeeks also lifted her weight.

So now we'll have a tie-breaker-

Daisy: Wait!

There's one more contestant! And she's really, really strong!

Ronald: That's an ant! A tiny, puny ant!

Hahahah!

Crowd: (whispering)

Squeeks: Oh sweet, simple Daisy...

my tender mistaken Daisy...

that little ant is no match for a little something

we like to call gravity.

Heard of it?

Harold: Oh, my. This is exciting.

Please bring in... the special scale!

Crowd: (gasps)

Harold: No need for a tie-breaker, folks!

Not only is this ant the winner of today's contest,

but she is the strongest animal of any of our contestants!

Crowd: (gasps)

Ronald: Are you kidding me? A leaf?

Who wins a contest for lifting a leaf?

I could have lifted that leaf easy, but nooo...

I had to lift two big heavy flour sacks!

That means I should win.

Daisy: But Ronald, you lifting the leaf isn't the same as the

ant lifting the leaf.

Right, Harold Mole Hill?

Harold: Exactly, Daisy!

That leaf weighs twenty times more than the ant weighs!

That would be the same as you Ronald,

lifting two of these pound sacks of potatoes

Crowd: (gasps)

Daisy: Wow! Look!

The ant is carrying that leaf home to her colony!

Raccoon: Dude! She's carrying that leaf in her mouth!

Man, I can't lift that much with my arms, let alone my mouth!

What a cool trick!

Daisy: It certainly is cool, but it's not a trick.

It's just the way she lifts things.

See, that's not her mouth.

Those are mandibles.

She uses them like we use our arms.

Muffin: Whoa, whoa, whoa! So does she work out?

Do bench presses? Couple bicep curls?

Never skippin' leg day?

Daisy: I don't think she does any of that.

Lifting heavy things is just what ants do.

Squeeks: You're telling me all ants lift that much?

And carry it?

I barely lifted that teacup.

No way could I carry it, too!

Amazing.

Nature Cat: I couldn't even lift my watermelon!

Daisy: That's okay!

You don't need to lift and carry heavy things.

But ants do.

They need to carry food and other things back to their

colony to survive.

Harold: You know, some ants can carry so much weight...

Hal: How much weight can they carry?

Harold: They can carry so much weight that it would be

like you carrying three of your doghouses, Hal.

Hal: Wha-? Huh? Gah? Look I-I gotta sit down

and think until this all makes sense. Hold on.

Makes total sense! Ants are awesome!

Daisy: Yep, Hal! They sure are!

Muffin: That ant is the real star

of the Strongest Show on Earth, not me.

Respect, little ant...respect.

Harold: So congratulations, ant!

As our winner today, you get to join us on our world tour!

Daisy: I don't think she can just

leave her colony like that.

The other ants need her to carry things

to them so they can survive.

Squeeks: Look guys, she doesn't want to let down her team.

She's a true athlete.

Harold: Yeah, I get that a lot.

I've been trying to get an ant to join my show for a long time.

None of them want to leave their colonies.

Nature Cat: But hey! We can see ants in their own

"Strongest Show on Earth"

any time they're out gathering things.

Hal: Yeah! All we have to do is look down!

Harold: That is true, indeed.

Well, it's time for this Strongest Show on Earth

to travel on to the next forest.

Harold: ♪ Ta-ta, my friends, it's time to go ♪

♪ We hope you liked our show and know ♪

♪ That everything weighs something ♪

♪ and that gravity makes it so ♪

♪ Just know that you don't have to be an ant ♪

♪ Or lift something like an elephant ♪

♪ To show someone you're a strong someone ♪

♪ But now we gotta run, ♪

♪ our show is done! ♪

Yeah!

Ronald: Wait! Wait for Ronald!

You want an ant to be your show?

Ronald will be an ant in your show!

Wait!
