- Here comes nick,
the mighty elephant.
[Grunting]
- [Laughs]
- I'm so big and strong.
Nothing can stop me.
- Roar!
I'm sally, the lion.
Lions are tougher
than elephants
Because lions are brave
And fast.
Roar!
- Whoa, I've come to save you.
- It's the cat!
- The cat in the hat!
- Save us from what, cat?
- From the ferocious lion.
I just heard it roar.
- [Laughs]
that was me.
I was pretending to be a lion.
- We're trying to be
the toughest animal ever.
- The toughest animal ever?
Well, say no more.
You're looking at him.
[Both laughing]
- Okay, I'm not that tough.
But I have a friend
who is so tough,
He can survive
almost anything.
Both: who?
- Wally the water bear.
Would you like to meet him?
Both: yes.
- Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.
- [Laughs]
Mom, can we go with the cat
to meet wally the water bear?
- [Laughs]
a water bear?
Sure, honey.
Take a towel.
- Thanks, mom.
Both: we can go!
We can go!
- I know. I know.
To the thinga-ma-jigger.
Water bears are all around us.
You can almost touch them.
- Really?
I don't see any water bears.
- The problem is,
we're way too tall
To see my friend
who's smaller than small.
Press the shrinkamadoodle's
super small button.
Time to meet wally
in the mini-moss meadow.
- Is that far away?
- As far away
as that gigantic tree.
- But that's the tree house
tree.
- So it is.
Buckle up.

- We're here,
the mini-moss meadow.
- It looks like a jungle
when you're so teeny-tiny.
- Ah!
[Slurping sound]
- Nothing like a sippy dewdrop
to get me going.
- Well, if it isn't my friend
wally the water bear.
- Is that you, cat?
- Allow me to introduce you
to my friends nick and sally.
Both: hi, wally.
- Hello.
- Whoa, I've never seen a bear
with eight paws before.
- Wally's not really a bear,
you know.
He's a tardigrade.
- A tardigrade?
- That's right, a tardigrade,
which means he walks super slow.
- Slow is the way to go
for a tough guy like me.
- But you're super small too.
- That I am, but I can live
in the toughest places ever.
And to prove it, let's play
the tough enough game.
Just pick a place,
and we'll see
If I'm tough enough
to live there, okay?
- Oh, oh, I've got one.
Can you live in a place
that's super cold?
- Like freeze your knees
snowland?
- Well, is it super cold there?
- Super-duper cold.
- Then I super-duper can do.
- To the thinga-ma-jigger.
- Let's go!
[Both laughing]
[Wind whistling]
- I'm freezing.
- Luckily, we have our coats.
But what about wally?
- [Speaking slowly]
ah, not for a toughy like me.
- Uh-oh, I think the cold
is making wally go even slower.
- Ooh, anyone
for a snowy snooze?
- A tardigrade slows down,
you see,
So his body
won't waste energy.
He curls into a tight ball,
called a tun,
And stays that way
till he's warmed by the sun.
- M-m-maybe that'll work for us.
[Both shivering]
- I'd rather sleep
in a warm b-bed.
- Oh, me too.
You win, wally.
Wally?
Uh-oh, I can't wake him up.
- Some nice warm sunlight
should do the trick.
Make way
for the rise-and-shiner.
- Cool.
- Ooh, time to go already?
I was just getting comfy.
- [Laughs]
you win this one, wally.
- But are you tough enough
for the gritchity-gratch desert?
That's the hottest place ever.
- The hotter, the better.
- To gritchity-gratch desert.

- Whew, how hot is this place?
- [Slurps]
[Sizzling]
Yow, it's sweltering
sweat socks hot.
But I have just the thing
to keep us cool.
- Ah.
- Ah.
- That's better.
- Come feel the breeze, wally.
- No, thanks.
All a tough guy like me needs...
[Groans]
Is a sandy snooze.
- But isn't it too hot to sleep?
- When it's hot, a tardigrade
slows to a stop
And curls into a tun
till the next water drop.
- Let's try it.
- I'm just getting hotter.
- Me too.
- You win again, wally.
Wally?
- Can't wake a water bear
out of his nap?
Well, just add water
and watch him unwrap.
[Children laughing]
- [Chuckling]
Thanks, cat.
But, you know, I could have
slept a whole lot longer.
- In this heat?
Now, that's tough.
[Laughs]
- Agreed.
But are you
tough enough in space?
- Space? Where's that?
- Up there,
with the moon and the stars.
- Then space is the place
for me.
- What are we waiting for?
[Children laughing]
- Pull the space-a-ma-racer.
Both: wow!
- This is so cool.
- Get ready for boom-a-blasters
In ten, nine, eight,
seven, six...
- We're going to blast off
like real astronauts.
- I can't wait.

- Wow, this place is amazing.
It doesn't look so tough.
- It is when there's no air
to breathe.
- That's why we need to wear
these special suits--
So we can breathe
and stay warm out here.
- No, thank you.
I'll tough it out.
- Whee!
I love floating in space.
- It's like swimming
without water.
- So what do you think
about space, wally?
Tough enough for you?
- Wally?
- Over here.
Look at this comfy space rock
I found.
Ooh, perfect for, um...
[Snoring]
- In space, a tardigrade
slows to a stop
And curls into a tun
till the next water drop.
- Um, is it me, or is his rock
moving away from us?
- Quick, after that space rock!
- Wally, wally!
- Got a water bear
in big space trouble?
Call thing one and thing two.
They'll come on the double.

tough guy of all.
- Me? The number one tough guy?
Ooh!
- The tardigrade
is one tough water bear.
He can survive
without very much air.
In the freezing cold
or the heat of the sun,
He'll curl up for a nap
in a tight little tun.
Wouldn't you agree, wally?
- [Snoring]
Both: shh.
- I bet wally's glad
to be back in his mossy home.
- I'm glad we've got
a tough friend
Right here in my backyard.
- Ah, I still say
I'm the toughest one here.
- Roar!
- [Shouting]
[All laughing]
My, you're clever.
[All laughing]
- Hi, kids.
I have a very hard question
for you today.
Some cats like to purr.
Do you know what other animal
can also purr?
Is it a whale,
Or is it a snake,
Or is it an elephant?
So which of these animals
can purr like a kitty cat?
Did you say the elephant?
That's right.
Elephants purr when they
say hello to each other.
Next time,
I'll stump you for sure.
Both:
time to take a picture
With our snap-o-rama cameras.
- I'll take the picture.
- And I'll guess what it is.
It looks like a jump rope,
A jump rope
with stripes and scales.
- [Laughs]
- Oh, it's a bunch of snakes,
And they're all lying together.
- That's right, nick.
Garter snakes
huddle together to keep warm.
- But next time,
I get to take the picture.
[Both laughing]
[Thunder booming]
- [Sighs]
I wish it would
stop raining, sally.
- You're right, nick.
It's just too wet
to play outside.
Both: aww.
- My, I'm wet from my hat
to my toes.
- It's the cat!
- The cat in the hat!
- Thank goodness
I found you.
I need your help.
- What's wrong?
- It's ting tang tony.
You have to help
get him back to his family.
- Sure, we can help.
- We'd better find him fast,
Before he gets too wet
in this rain.
- Where we're going
is a whole lot wetter.
- Really?
Nowhere is wetter than this.
- It is under the sea
in scoobamareen.
Ting tang tony is a fish.
Will you help me?
- Of course we will.
- Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.
- [Laughs]
Come in, mom. Over.
- Mom hearing you
loud and clear, sally.
Over.
- Can we go
to scoobamareen
To help cat find
ting tang tony?
Over.
- [Laughs]

- [Laughs]

I left ting tang tony
waiting for us right over there.
Or was it over there?
- Hey, look,
I see a blue fish waving at us.
- Is that ting tang tony?
- It sure is.
- Hi, cat.
Oh, I see
you brought some friends.
- Yes.
This is nick and sally.
- Hi, nick and sally.
- Hi, ting tang tony.
- We're here to help.
- They're great helpers
And great at finding
their way around.
- How did you lose your family?
- Well, we lost our way,
didn't we, cat?
I was showing him
our beautiful coral reef here--
- What's coral?
- What's coral?
Oh, it's that hard stuff
that's all around you.
- It's beautiful.
- So beautiful,
I just had to draw it.
The last time I was here,
There were so many
different shapes of coral,
I just had to draw them all.
- We had a great time finding
More and more different shapes,
didn't we, cat?
- Oh, yes.
Then we realized
we'd swum out way too far
And lost sight
of ting tang tony's family.
- Hey, we can find the coral
That look like the shapes
in your drawings.
- And that would lead us back
to ting tang tony's family.
- Of course.
What a great idea.
- My, how clever you are.
- [Laughs]
- I told you
they were great helpers.
- Which one
did you draw last, cat?
- Let me think now.
Yes, the coral that looks
like reindeer antlers.
- Help-a-friend team ready.
- Hmm, where can it be?
- Oh, there, I see it.
- My, you're clever.
- Wow, it looks
just like reindeer antlers.
- Hey, this is the one,
all right.
- Yes, a very good drawing
If I do say so myself.
- Coral has so many
different shapes.
- Wait.
Something's moving in there.
- Hello.
- Hi.
All: hello.
- They're living inside.
Who are they?
- These guys?
They're polyps.
- Polyps--that's a funny name.
- It is. And you're right.
They do live right here.
- In those little caves?
- Yeah, this is coral.
We made it.
- You made all this coral?
- Not just us.
- No, not by ourselves.
It takes a long, long time
to make coral this big.
- Our mas and pas
made some of it.
- And their grandpas and 'mas
And their great-grandpas
and 'mas
And their great-great-grandpas
and 'mas.
- So many pas and mas.
Why, I've lost track.
- They all helped build it.
- Living inside the tough coral
keeps us safe and sound.
- Amazing.
- Oh, yes, they certainly are.
- Hmm, which way now?
- I think we swam...
Ooh, this way, past the coral
that looked like bubbles.
- You mean like these bubbles?
- Yes, let's go find them.
Both: bye, polyps.
All: bye.
- Over there.
- That coral looks
just like bubbles.
- Oh, my, they most certainly do
look bubbly, don't they?
- It's so beautiful.
- Hey, look,
here come more polyps.
- Hello.
- Hello again.
- Hello again?
- Sure, you came by earlier.
- We did?
- Sure, you did.
I remember seeing you--
The blue fish
and the cat in a stripy hat.
- Then we must be swimming
the right way.
- Yes, I remember now.
Straight ahead
and past the coral
That looks like tables.
- That's the one
we look for next.
- Let's go.
- Bye.
Both: bye.
- This sure looks familiar.
I think we're getting
close to home.
- And unless I'm mistaken,
This coral
looks just like my drawing.
- It's flat.
- Just like a table.
- I could almost walk on it.
- Hey, don't even think
about walking on our coral.
- Sorry.
- You'll break it.
- And it's taken us a long time
to make.
- Don't worry.
We'll be careful.
- Ooh, I know where we are.
We just need to swim
around that rock
And we'll find my family.
- Great, let's go.
Both: wow, look at that.
- This is the first coral
I drew.
- It looks just like
candy canes.
- And it's stripy,
just like the cat's hat.
- Whoo-hoo!
This is where we started.
- Hi, ting tang tony.
- Hi.
- Welcome back.
- Thanks, guys.
It's good to be back.
- Look, here comes
another friend
Who wants to say hi,
ting tang tony.
- It's a sea star.
All: oh, no.
Hide! Hide!
- I'm not sure everyone
Is as pleased
to see a sea star around here.
- Sea star?
Oh, they're not friends
of polyps.
Sea stars like polyps
for lunch.
- Cat, we can't let him
eat the polyps.
- What can we do?
- Why, leave it to me.
When polyps are in danger,
here's what to do.
Call for some help
from thing one and thing two.
Both: hello.
[Children laughing]
[Things jabbering]
- Whoo-hoo.
[Both laughing]
Both: oh.
- Hey, you.
- Yoo-hoo!
Ta-da!
- Whoo!
[Laughs]
Both: oh.
- Hmm.
- Oh, no, sea star.
- Oh, no.
- Hide!
- Whoo-hoo!
Yum, yum.
- Hey, doo-doo-doo!
[Things laughing]
[Both jabbering]
Both: ta-da!
- Nice work, things.
See you back
at the thinga-ma-jigger.
Both: bye-bye.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
He's gone.
- Thank you.
- Oh, ting tang tony,
there you are.
- Ooh, hi, mom.
- Where have you been?
- It was all my fault.
We were having so much fun,
We forgot to look
where we were swimming.
- We kind of lost our way.
- That's okay.
You brought him
safely back to us.
- With nick and sally's help.
- Well, thank you too.
- You're welcome.
- No problem.
- Ready for another swim
around the reef
With all the family
before supper?
- You bet.
See you, guys,
and thanks for helping.
- We had fun.
- See you again sometime.
- Hey, I nearly forgot.
I have a present for you.
- Present?
- I'd like you
to have this
In case you need to find
your way home again.
- Wow, thanks, cat.
- You can look at my pictures
anytime.
- I will. Bye.
Both: bye.
- We learned about coral
and think they are great.
Coral are polyps
in the shell they create.
Their shapes are amazing.
There's no doubt about that.
There's even some coral
that's striped like my hat.
[Children laugh]
- Coral--it takes
such a long time to make,
So we must take care
that it doesn't break.
- This coral
looks just like the one
You drew on your shell, cat.
- And here is ting tang tony
swimming over to sally's coral.
- Oh, what fun.
- We can have fun...
- Even when it's raining.
- What wonderful artists
you are
And great helpers too,
which is lucky.
- Why is it lucky, cat?
- Because you never know
When another friend
might need help.
- We're the help-a-friend team.
- Always ready.
All: yay!
[All laughing]
- Welcome to hat chat.
Today we are going to interview
an eyed hawk moth.
- Here I am.
- Hello, mr. Moth.
We didn't see you there.
You blend in with the bark
on the tree.
- Yes, I do.
The color of my body helps
to camouflage, or hide, me.
- Neat, you're so camouflaged,
I can't even see your body,
Only your big eyes.
- Those aren't my real eyes.
Those are my wings.
- Wow, your wings
look just like a face.
- That's right.
The pattern on my wings
look like big eyes.
This makes me look
much bigger than I am
So other animals
don't try to pick on me.
- Thanks for teaching us all
about your cool wings, mr. Moth.
- Yeah, and next time,
We'll know which face
to talk to.
- See you later.
