The winds arepicking up a bit Martin.
-Yeah, if we keepgoing at this rate,
we might actually makeit to Animal Junction this way.
All we have todo is get over that herd ofwater buffalo down below.
-Yeah, look at them all.
-Whoa, what a herd of bovines!
-There's the Junction.
-Whoa!
Coming in.
Look out below!
Great landing.
-I wonder ifthe lemur has landed?
-Let's call him.
Zoboomafoo!
Zoboo!
Zoboo, you made it.
-Hey Zoboo.
Did you check out our landing?
-You know Zoboo,he won't start yacking 'tilhe's done some snacking.
Lookwhat I have for you!
Zoboo, sumac leaves.
-All right.
Leaves. That what lemurslike Zoboo eat most of the time.
-Zoboomafoooooooo!
Hey guys, did you seehow I ate my yummy sumac leaves?
-How Zoboo?
-Like the creatureI saw on my way here.
Who could it be?
♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see.
♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?
When I saw her,she was eating grass and
she was chewing andchewing and mooing and mooing.
♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see.
When she stood up, shehad a pink balloon on her belly.
♪Who could it be?This animal who I did see.
♪Can you helpme guess this mystery?
A pink-bellied mooer and chewer.
Do you know who she is?
-All right,
she chews, and chews and chews.
-She moos, and moos and moos.
-I know who themystery animal is, do you?
A calf.
-And a mother cow!
-Mangatsika! Themystery animals are here.
-Come on in.
-Yeah! Come in, come in.
Hey cow, hey babycow, how are you doing?
-A baby cow iscalled a calf Zoboo.
A mother is called a cowand a father is called a bull.
All cows belong to a groupof animals called bovines.
Andlike other bovines, cows sticktogether in groups or herds.
-It's so fine being bovine.
Moo.
-You got it buddy.
-Thanks,
moo!
-This cow is a great mother.
Look how carefullyshe takes care of her calf.
And you can tell she'snever very far away and
always watchingout for her calf.
-Right.
She's a good mom.
-Check out the waya cow cleans her calf.
With a lot of licks.
-I don't think there is anythingquite as slimy as a cow bath.
-Slimy baths are the best.
-Hey, my mind has a question.
So where is your herd?
I thought you said bovineslived in a herd Chris.
-They usually doZoboo, cows are really socialanimals that live in groups.
So their herd mustbe around here somewhere.
-Well, we'llfind your herd. Yeah.
-Let's find the herd.
-It's herd finding time.
I think thecalf likes that idea.
-I think you're on to something.
And I think the momis looking for the herd too.
-Hey brothers, howdo you find a herd anyway?
Hey I know!
Maybethey need a snack before theymeet up with the herd. Yeah!
Oh, you already found a snack.
Let me try some of that.
I think I'll stick to sumac.
-Cows eat grass whichis really hard to digest,so they chew it twice.
-It's called chewing your cud.
The cows chews upthe grass and swallows it,
it goes into the stomachwhere it starts to digest,
but then, the cow coughsit back up, chews it again
before swallowingit for the last time.
Listen to thosechewing cud sounds.
And if you're reallyquiet, you'll hear the swallow.
Hear that?
-Oh! It just came up again.
There she goes,chewing some more cud.
-Whoo, that's a lot of chewing.
Hey, I'll call you Chewy.
Yeah, Chewy.
What is she doing?
-Sucking on my fingers.
Calves will suckon just about anything.
-Why does she do that?
-Well, a calf likesto check things out by
putting them in hermonth, just like a human baby.
-Hey, hey, what's going on?
-She's hungry Zoboo.
Now she's sucking on you.
-Whoo, whoo, wait, wait!
There is some seriousgooey-ness going on in here.
Brothers, calvesdon't eat lemurs do they?
-No, don't worry,she won't eat you.
Calveshave incredible sucking power,but they don't eat lemurs.
-This is fun,but I'm stuck. Help!
-Here, I'll help you out Zoboo.
Ready?
Here, let me grab your legs.
He's reallystuck. Count with me.
On the count of three,
one, two, threee!
We meant to do that.
-But I'm all covered in goo.
Hey, that's it.I'll call you Gooey.
Butnow I think, we gotta get somefood into our hungry tummies
before we gether back to her herd.
To the snack machine.
Let's see; chick andkangaroo, and Martin, and me,
and Chris, and cow and horse.
But there is no calf.
Chris, Martin!
There's no food inthe snack machine for Gooey.
-There's nothingin the snack machine Zoboo,because Gooey's mom is here.
She has lotsof milk to feed Gooey.
-Calves drinkcow's milk and so do we.
-We drink it out of a glassand we put it on our cereal.
-Come here Zob.
See this?
This is an udder.
It's where all the milk is made.
Yup, this is the cow'sincredible milk-making machine.
-An udder.
It's totally mangatsika.
Oh!
That's noisy milk.
Can I try some?
Ahhhhhhh!
-Open up.
-Ahhhhhhhh!
Hey hoo hubba hubba!
That's a drink from an udda!
Can I try milking Chewy?
-Yeah! Go ahead Zoboo.
-Chewy won't mind?
-Oh no. Gooeydoes it all the time.
She drinks aboutfive or six times a day.
-Wow!
-Go right ahead.
-Okay, move over.
Well this isn't hard.
Hey! Stop that,
stop it, stop, stop,
no, no, this is very slippery.
I'm getting more milk on methan I'm getting in the bucket.
-Nice try Zoboo. Butnow let's watch a real pro.
-Oh! So that how Gooey eats.
-Did you see that?
She hits her head on the udderto make the milk flow better.
-I can't believemy mind. Let me see.
Wow!
Gooey is a real supersucker, look at her go.
I'm going to do like Gooey,a mouth is a better milker.
That was utterly delicious.
I think I'm so full, I...
♪I feel different not the same
♪This kind offeeling I can't explain
♪There's onlyone thing that I can do
♪I feel cow-ish How about you?
♪Cow-ish
♪I feel cow-ish
♪cow-ish
♪I'm a big mouthed bovineand I'm glad to be a cow
♪Cow-ish!
Now that Gooey'shad lots of milk, we have tofind Chewy's and Gooey's herd.
-You're right Zob.
-I don't see a herd anywhere.
-How are we gonna get Chewyand Gooey back to the herd?
-My mind just had an idea.
Chewy has a bell...
and if the herd heard it, maybethey would come and get them.
Herd heard. I like that.
We're going to ring the bell.
-Great idea Zoboo, but how willthe herd hear that little bell?
-We just have to makethe bell ring louder that's all.
We have to makethe bell ring so loud thatall the other cows hear it.
-Good thinking Zob.
Let's make thatcow bell ring louder
-With an Animal Junction supercow bell amplification system.
-Let's build it.
-One super machine coming up.
That reminds meof one time in Zobooland.
I was leaping along,
leap, leap, leap...
when I bumped into
well, I didn'tknow who I bumped into
until she pulled theirhead out of the ground.
It was Wiggy Waxwingslurping up root noodles.
"Hi Wiggy," I said.
-Hi Zoboo. Can't talk!
Want more slurpy root noodles.
Ooh, another one!!
More! More! More!
-Wiggy was wigging outall over gobbling root noodles!
Go Wiggy!
Untilshe found a root noodle thatwasn't a root noodle at all!
It was Baby Zoboomafooasaurus!
Wiggywas so full of root noodlesthat all she wanted to do
was slidedown Baby Zoboomafooasaurusover and over!
So we slid down BabyZoboomafooasaurus all day.
The end.
-Where did Iput that little wrench?
-Here's another toolfor the cow bell superamplification system.
-Pass it here.
-Coming at you.
-Whoa!
-Did you catch it Martin?
-Hey, I got it right here.
Here you go Chris.
-Yeah!
Don't worry,we'll find your herd.
-Yeah!
-The machine is finished!It's finished, finished!
-This is it, wantto see how it works?
-Let's count tothree and say Zoboomafoo.
-Okay.
-Want to?
-All right.
-One... Two... Three...
Zoboomafoo!
-Ah! It didn't work.
-I was sure weput it together right.
-Do you think maybethis could be the problem?
-Hey you did it Zoboo!
-I don't know what youbrothers would do without me.
-Neither dowe Zob, neither do we.
-So, should we try it again?
Hey hoo hubba hubba,let's count to three.
One... Two... Three...
Zobooomafooooo!
-Well that definitely works.
I think everybodyheard that one.
-All we neednow is the bell to call theherd to come and get them.
Okay Chewy, we have togo over to the machine, okay.
Yeah, just get yourselfup and then we're, we're... um!
Chris, Martin, Chewydoesn't want to move.
-If the cow won'tcome to the machine...
-...bring themachine to the cow.
-We're readyto ring the cow bell.
All right, is it all set Martin?
-All ready.
-Here goes.

Thanks Chris.
-No problem Zob.
-Hi there!
I think I'll call you Blink,how's that? Do you like that?
Yeah I thought you would.
And so will the animal helpers.
-Let's see what they're up to.
-Hi guys, Hi Zoboo,Amy here with my friend Lara.
We're searching forcreatures with her father.
Stop the car!
Look over there!
A herd of bisonand they have some babies.
Bison are related tocows but they're wild animals.
And like all wild creatures, youhave to give them their space.
Especially whenthere are babies around.
Hey Lara, check out thosetwo big ones! They're powerful.
Sometimes, the best wayto be a creature adventureris to be one in the car.
That way you andthe creatures are safe.
-It's so fine being bovine.
-Yeah! And I know another placeto find some more fine bovines.
-Just what I was thinking bro.
-So then I guess you'reprobably going to the closet.
-You guessed right.
-To the closet.

-See you later Zoboo.
-Bye brothers.
-We're here in India.
And in India, thereare a lot of people.
-Around here, where thereare people, there are cows.
Cows everywhere.
-Cows in the fields...
-...cows in people's yards...
-...cows in people's houses...
-...cows in themiddle of the road...
Whoa!
Whooooooaa!
-Cows doing whatever they want.
-We've got to check this out.
-Cows come and go,in and out of the house,whenever they please.
Just like dogsor cats at your house.
-And if you're a calf, oneof the good things about being
in and around the houseat night is that it protects you
from tigers and leopards.
-Is this your buddy?
In India, cowsare definitely buddies.
They're a huge partof the Indian way of life.
And believe it ornot, cows keep people warm
and I'm not justtalking about hugging.
-That's right. Cow poop is madeinto patties and then dried and
used as a fuel for fires.
That helps keep peoplewarm and they can cook with it.
-Maynu and Byrnare going to show us anothergreat way to use cow poop.
-Come on in.
This is great in here.
-See, everyday they polish theirfloors with cow poop polish.
That helps keep thingslooking clean and dust free.
-It starts outwet, but then over here,you can see where it's dry.
Nice!
-This is a niceplace. I like your house.
And when the cows comeout of the house in the morning,
they head straight for the hay.
-Time to milk the cows,then it's off to the fields.
Out to the fields guys.
-Cows spend most of themiddle of their day grazing,
filling up theirbellies with grass.
-And while theydo that, it's time for us toget back to Animal Junction.
-Hey, do you guysknow how we can get back?
Our bikes are broken.
That way? All right.
All right, let's go.
Let's see if we canfind some other way back.
-Hey everybodyis going that way.
Hey, where are you going?
Everybody is going that way.
No that way, the wholeherd's moving that way.
-Maybe we shouldjust follow her.
-Follow her? What'smy brother talking about?
Follow her to where?
-That's it! Of course.
-Well it's not asfast as mountain biking...
...but these cowsare a lot more dependable.
-See you later. It wasgreat hanging out with you.
And thanks for lettingus ride with your cows.
-That was so great!
-It's so fine being bovine.
Who knows what'sgonna happen next.
-It's very quiet in there.
I wonder what Zoboo is doing.
-Let's go find out.
-Hey, hey! Look who's here.
It's Big Red!
How are you doing buddy?
All right.
-Wow!
Hey, where is Zoboo?
-Oh yeah! Where is he?
Zoboo?
Zoboo?
-Zoboomafoo,
Zoboo where are you buddy?
-Where is that leaping lemur?
...It's kinda comfy,if I could just get my leg...
-I wonder what'swiggling around in there.
-The best way tofind out, is to tickle it.
-Stop it, I can't,I can't take it anymore,stop tickling, stop tickling.
-What are youdoing in there Zoboo?
-I'm being a babykangaroo. They live
in their mom's pouchesuntil they're old enoughto go out on their own.
And since BigRed is a boy kangaroo,
well I had to findmy own pouch to climb into
because boy kangaroos don'thave a pouch cause just mom
kangaroos have pouches becauseonly mom kangaroos have babies.
And while I wasinside, I started thinkingabout one time in Zobooland.
I was leaping along,
leap, leap, leap,
when I bumped into Narchi.
Hi Narchi.
Hi Noggendrill.Where're you going?
-Heading home, Zob.Move over, I'm heading home.
-Hey, can I come over?
I've never even seen your home.
-Nope, no can do.
-Why not?
-Because.
-Why not?
-Because.
-Why not?
-BECAUSE MY HOUSEIS JUST TOO MESSY!
-Oh.
So why doesn't Narchi clean it?
-My nose doeshave a vacuum feature.
-Okay,but I'm telling ya, there'sa lot of dirt down there.
-Give it a try, Narchi.
-Alright, standaside, coming through...
-Great job Narch.
Now you can both come on in.
-Ouch!
-Ouch!
Wow. This is agreat underground house.
-Thanks a lot. Come on,let's race around my tunnels.
-The end.
So did you like that story?
I've got lots moreif you want to hear them.
-Hey Zoboo!
Maybe he's hungry.
-Oh yeah!
Sorry about that.
Let's go get a snack.
-Let's see what the snackmachine has for a kangaroo.
-Yeah.
Oh boy!
-Uh-oh! Not again!
-Ohdon't worry Big Red, I'll getthat machine fixed. Here goes.
Where is that drill?
Oh here, I had it in my pouch.
-What for Zob?
-Well you never knowwhen you might need a drill.
Okay Big Red,I'll have this snack machinefixed before you can, um...
well, before you canleap across Animal Junction.
Take your mark Big Red.
-Mark Big Red, get set.
-Bid Red's ready, Zoboo's set.
-Go.
-How about here, ya.
-Big Red is finished.
-So is Zoboo.
-Uh-oh
I fixed it!
-Kangaroos are likethe cows of Australia.
They roam around grazingon all kinds of vegetation.
Kangaroos aren'tbovines, but they do someof the same things cows do.
Like hang out in big groups.
But these groups aren'therds, they're called mobs.
-Talking about cows, a kangarooregurgitates his food too.
He throws it up,so he can chew it again.
-Yeah,cows and kangaroos eat anddigest grass in the same way.
They eat it, spitit up and eat it again.
-Ah! So they're double chewers.
-That's right Zob,they're double chewersand you know what else?
-What?
-They can go for monthswithout drinking water.
They just get itfrom the food they eat.
-Check this out.
Look how the kangarooholds on to the piece ofcelery while he's eating it.
-He uses his forelegsalmost like hands.
Watch the way he grabs this.
-I use my hands to eat too.
Well, I guess he's full.
Hey brothers, I was a mangatsikababy kangaroo wasn't I?
-The best Zoboo, exceptmaybe for a real baby kangaroo.
What do you think Big Red?
-I guess it's alot easier being a baby
kangaroo if you reallyare a baby kangaroo,
but I was prettygood at pretending.
And I bet you are too.
