Chris: tagged it!

Martin: nice climb!

You ready to head back down?

Yeah.

Hey creatures!

We're practicing climbing cliffs

Like the climbing creatures.

But climbing creatures

Don't need special equipment.

They're born with it.

...unlike...

...us!

We should go canoeing!

We could call the best climber we know.

Come on!

Zoboomafoo!

Have you been climbing today?

Zoboo's here!

And we will have fun. Come on.

Zoboomafoo!

That leaping lemur!

What a climber.

Hey zoboo, how you doing?

How you doing? Want a scratch?

One lemur snack coming up.

Garbanzo beans!

Hey, zoboo! Hey, chris!

Thanks, martin!

Zoboo loves garbanzo beans!

Yeah!

I like the way you chew!

[Burp]

'Scuse me!

Zoboomafoo!

Zoboomafoo: hey, I've got a surprise.

What, zoboo?

I can't tell.

Who did you see?

That's the surprise.

Who could it be?

♪ Who could it be ♪

♪ This animal who I did see ♪

♪ Can you help me guess this mystery ♪

There were many legs and tails everywhere.

The legs were wobbly,

But they were always moving.

♪ Who could it be ♪

♪ This animal who I did see ♪

♪ Mangatsika ♪

♪ Mangatsika animal ♪

There were pointy ears,

And eyes that checked out everything.

♪ Who could it be ♪

♪ This animal who I did see ♪

♪ Can you help me guess this mystery ♪

Furry, twitchy-tailed pouncers.

Do you know them?

Chris: I know.

But many tails and legs?

And crazy colors?

Come here, little guy.

There's another one sitting on the clock.

Mang-cat-sika!

Mystery animals are here!

That's not all.

There are many kittens.

There are kittens everywhere!

Everywhere!

Everywhere!

Of course, that's it.

It's not one kitten...

Or two kittens...

It's tons of kittens!

Yeah, all these kittens are dizzying my mind!

It's kitten chaos.

No kittens up my sleeve.

Check your other sleeve.

We'd better gather up these kittens.

How?

Individually.

Let's look for the other kittens.

They're hard to spot.

There's one!

Here's one.

Bring them here.

Here's one.

Come here, guy.

Kittens get into the funniest places.

No kittens in here, only lemurs.

Here's one, the last one.

Look at them all!

They're all together now.

Where are you going?

Come back here, buddy.

This guy's wobbly.

This kitten likes zoboo.

She's not exploring.

They're still finding their way around.

These kittens are weeks old.

They're babies!

Which means their mom probably is close.

Let's watch them until their mom comes.

Ok, but I don't think it'll be easy!

It'll be easy.

We'll have to watch them closely.

This one has light green eyes.

Wow, green eyes and really long hairs on his face!

They're called whiskers.

Cats' and kittens' whiskers feel things very well.

Hair with feelings.

That sounds great!

Yeah, cats' whiskers... Help guide them through tight places at night.

They use their whiskers like hands to feel things.

They're a little ticklish, too.

That's a big kitten.

Look, more kittens!

Those aren't exactly kittens

They're jaguar cubs!

I can't believe my mind.

Cubs want to have fun.

Let's play with them!

You got me! Ok! I give!

You got me!

Whoa!

I got you back!

Nice pounce.

Want to practice fishing?

It's tougher in water.

Woops!

Are you leaving?

Hey, chris, martin, the jaguars are leaving.

What are you doing?

Here's a kitten by the pond.

I think she wants to go swimming.

She probably doesn't want to swim.

She might want to fish.

Kittens are really curious

And this kitten is curious about this catfish.

Catfish? Does she meow?

No, she's called a catfish because she has whisker for feeling.

Will the kitten go in?

House cats don't like water.

Not like some wild cats like jaguars.

These kittens will be house cats

And hunt mice and birds.

They can hunt my tail.

Come on guys, hunt my tail!

It'll be fun!

You can do it!

Hey kitten, that tickles!

You play good!

That's what kittens do:

Play and learn to be cats!

Human kids love playing like cats!

Uh-oh!

Kitten's getting stuck in my tail!

That's because she has retractable claws.

What's a retractable claw?

This is.

Her nails go in and out.

That's right, zob.

Cats need sharp nails for catching and climbing.

Their claw comes out when needed,

So they stay sharp.

Even big wildcats like leopards have retractable claws

That dig into branches when they're climbing.

Leopards are the best big cat climbers.

Watch this move.

Zoboo: guys! Look! Popper is here!

Popper pops our balls

With his retractable claws and sharp teeth.

Guys, save the soccer ball!

We'll try, zob!

We must keep it out of popper's reach.

Whoa!

Zoboo: uh-oh.

Uh-oh!

Popper popped another soccer ball!

Bye! Pop back soon!

I can't believe my mind! That's moving.

It's moving?

I don't wash my sleeping bag often,

But this is ridiculous.

Why isn't the sleeping bag sleeping?

Because it doesn't sleep,

We sleep in it.

Who's sleeping in it?

I don't know...

A kitten!

Kittens are very curious, like all baby creatures!

They're trying to learn things,

Just like you.

I've got a cat crawling down my back.

There's a cat in a hat!

And there's a cat with a rat.

There's a bat...

...and...

Wouldn't it be funny if kittens took over the world?

Then we'd be kittenish.

♪ I feel different, not the same ♪

♪ This kind of feeling I can't explain ♪

♪ There's only one thing that I can do ♪

♪ I feel kittenish, how 'bout you ♪

♪ Kittenish ♪

♪ I feel kittenish ♪

♪ Kittenish ♪

♪ I'm a paw swatting kitten playing with some yarn ♪

♪ Kittenish ♪

Huh?

Uh-oh!

Oh, no!

Brothers, brothers,

The kittens are escaping!

It's kitten...

Roundup time!

We gotta get these kittens safe.

Rounding up kittens is a blast, yee-haw!

Get along little doggies.

Ah, I mean kittens.

Maybe taking care of kittens isn't so easy.

Here's one of them.

Yeah!

You stay down here, ok?

They're everywhere, they're everywhere.

I think we're almost there, partner.

[Meow]

We nearly missed you, little fella.

I'm plumb tuckered out.

You can say that again.

I'm plumb tuckered out.

Good job, partner!

Yeah!

Zoboo: what's that noise?

Is that your stomach again?

No, zob, listen.

Hear that?

She's purring.

Kittens do that when they're happy.

It's not just kittens who purr.

Many wild cats purr...

Like cheetahs!

When cheetahs nap, it's a purr-fest.

Zoboo: wow!

[Yawning loudly]

Martin?

Chris?

These kittens are thirsty.

While they are sleeping, I'll give them some milk.

They're slurping it up!

I'll tell a story.

I was leaping in zobooland...

Leap, leap,

I landed in a sand pit with snow lemur.

&Quot;hi," I said.

Hi. I love playing in the sand,

Playing in the sand makes me happy.

Why don't you purr?

Purr, purr, that's even better, purr.

Mangatsika!

Then I saw gooble eating goobleberries

He looked happy.

I said, "hi.&Quot;

Are you happy? Yes.

Then why don't you purr?

Ok, purr, purr.

Good job, gooble.

Gooble purred so well, we began falling asleep.

Then green puppy popped out of a bush.

I said, "hi.&Quot;

Hi, zoboo.

Are you happy today?

I'm happy enough to lick you.

That tickles!

Will you purr?

Yes, I can lick and purr.

Lick, purr, lick, purr...

The end.

Did you like my story, kittens?

Kittens? Kittens?

Oh, no, they're wandering again!

Now I know taking care of kittens isn't easy.

Chris, martin, wake up!

The kittens have escaped.

This looks like a job for the professionals.

You're right, chris.

Time to call in the big g*ns.

Here kitty, kitty, kitty...

Pssst, pssst, pssst...

We need more callers.

We'll help!

We must call louder!

Here kitty!

You call too!

Here kitty, kitty!

Here kitty!

[Calling continues]

Look! There's one of the mother cats!

And there's the other!

We did it!

Hooray!

The kittens are with their moms again!

Everyone's happy to see each other.

See you later, kittens!

I liked playing with kittens.

Now they've all gone home with their moms.

Incoming!

Duck!

It's moonface!

The barn owl.

With a special delivery.

Hi, you guys. This is rapunzel.

Although cats clean their fur well,

Brushing them shows you love them.

Rapunzel likes being brushed,

You can give the loose fur to the animals.

See?

Birds put the fur inside their nests

So the baby birds are warm...

Because they have few feathers.

It's great helping bird moms care for their babies.

Listen. She's purring.

I have a question.

Rapunzel's purring because she's happy,

And lions are big wild cats.

So...do lions purr?

That's a great question. Do lions purr?

Well let's find out! Come on!

♪ They're going to the closet ♪

♪ They're going on a trip ♪

The same thing always happens when we open the closet.

We gotta do it.

Ahhh!

Look at this!

I don't know what car they're for.

Bring them!

♪ They're going on a cool adventure ♪

♪ And they don't know what's in store ♪

♪ They're coming from the closet ♪

♪ And they're headed out the door ♪

Bye, zoboo.

We got a great trip.

Bye kratt brothers!

This way.

Right behind you.

Come on!

Lions live in a group called a pride.

Lions like to nap.

They usually nap in the afternoon,

So if they purr, we'll probably hear them.

I hear purring.

It's coming from behind us.

Yes, but I don't see anybody.

Wait a second, martin,

It's coming from back there now.

You're right.

I hear it, but I don't see anybody.

Hold it, chris.

It's definitely back that way.

That purring is really close.

Somebody's gotta be making that sound.

Maybe we should drive around to look.

If we had a jeep.

There's one of our jeeps.

Excellent!

All right! Uh-oh!

There aren't any keys!

Maybe the keys I found will work.

Ok, let's try them.

[Engine starts]

All right!

This jeep really purrs. Let's go!

I hope to see who's purring.

They must be near.

Look! A leopard!

A leopard is one cat who doesn't purr.

Rhinos!

Their definitely not purring.

Martin, hold it!

Lions!

Lions are the most social wild cats.

Lion cubs stay with their moms longer than other cats.

They all look really happy,

But I don't hear them purring.

It looks like what we've heard is true.

Yup. Lions don't purr.

But somebody is still purring.

I don't believe it.

The kittens from animal junction!

They were in our backpacks!

That's where the purring was coming from.

How you doing?

Let's take them back.

Ok.

It's good to see you again.

You guys wanted to go on the trip, too.

You're almost home.

Your mom's looking for you.

Here she is.

She looks happy to see her kittens.

Yeah.

Do you hear something?

[Zoboo making noise]

Sounds like zoboo. Let's look.

Roll me that way.

You got strong paws for a kitten.

Yeah, one more time, one more time.

[Zoboo continues playing]

What are you doing?

That's one playful kitten.

Kitten? What are you talking about?

That's not a kitten. That's a cougar.

Cou-gar?

Cougar.

He looks like a kitten.

Except the cougar is bigger.

Yes, a lot bigger.

A cougar's a wild cat that jumps really well.

He can jump over feet.

His back legs are longer than his front legs.

That helps him move through the steep valleys and canyons.

Mangatsika!

He can jump just like me!

Jumping with a big-pawed cougar is mangatsika!

A cougar's paw is similar to a kitten's,

The claws go out and in.

Retractable!

And look at his eyes.

They see better at night than we do.

Try the eye-spy.

Ok.

I'll set them to people.

This is how a person sees at night.

It sure is dark.

Now, I'll adjust it to cougar,

So you can see how cougars see at night.

Whoa! Wow!

Hey, cougar, not so close! Whoa!.

I tried that.

Come on, zob.

Thanks.

Anytime, zoboomafoo.

And this is how all cats clean themselves.

The more they lick, the cleaner they get.

Does he purr like kitten cats?

Let's listen.

[Purring]

Hear that? What a purr!

Cougars are the largest cats who purr.

Like kittens, cougars love playing.

Oh yeah!

Come on, zob, play with us.

No thanks, we played already.

Ok, zob.

I think we're getting tangled up.

That ball reminds me of mango fruit from zobooland.

But, it didn't hit me in the head.

I was leaping along,

Leap, leap, leap,

When I met sensit.

&Quot;hi," I said.

I'm looking for mango. Please help me listen.

I hear a lot of purring.

I'm a pussycat!

Let's go over here, I only hear purring.

More purring, and it's green puppy!

Sorry, sensit,

I taught them how to purr.

That's ok,

I hear something! Over here!

Purring is nice, but I can't hear.

Oh, nice! Mango fruit bush.

Thanks, sensit.

And we ate mango fruit,

And we were so happy, we purred.

The end.

Those are funny purrs.

Yes, but everybody was happy.

What did you like best today?

I liked the kittens playing and pouncing on everything.

I loved the cougar playing with zoboo.

My favorite was the kittens hiding in our backpacks.

Kittens are mangatsika!

♪ This animal is a friend of mine ♪

♪ From the tip of his nose to his funny behind ♪

♪ All the friends that we met today ♪

♪ Are special in their own way ♪

♪ We've all got different names ♪

♪ But we're really all the same ♪

♪ Thanks for dropping by ♪

♪ We're glad you came ♪

♪ These animals are friends of mine ♪

♪ They jump and swim, crawl, fly and climb ♪

♪ One more thing we have to say ♪

♪ Go make an animal friend today, yeah ♪

Bye, brothers!

Bye, zob!

Bye, zoboo!

We'll see you later, too.

Wait a minute.

Kittens?

No kittens.

My name is nora and this is my cat, bogart.

Pets are great friends.

Every animal is different.

Some like being petted,

Others are shy and scared.

Only go near an animal

When an adult says it's ok. Right?

Now for some jokes to learfrom zoboomafoo...maf

- Did you know that these black and white spotted dogs

Are called dalmatians?

Most dalmatian puppies are all white when they're born.

And then, they get spotted when they're older.

- Hey chris wanna hear a joke?

- Yeah zoboo!

- Why can't a dalmatian pup hide from his mom?

- I don't know, why?

- Because he's already been spotted!

Good huh?

Thought of that myself!

- Did you know that male bighorn sheep are called rams?

Rams use their horns to have huge headbutting matches.

- Hey chris, chris, chris I got a joke for you.

- Yeah zob!

- Why is it hard to talk to a ram?

- I don't know. Why is it hard to talk to one?

- Because he is always butting in.

- Good one zob. - Get it?

- I get it zob!

Wha-oh!
