Twin Twin Explore Safari World & Learn About Animals

Today, we are at the Safari Zoo. We're going on a super fun adventure. We will feed giraffes and alpacas, give milk to a baby camel from a bottle, meet a cute capybara, and many, many more. We'll ride a boat on the river and even watch baby parrots come into the world. Wimbley. It's too hot today. What's there? Oh, look. Let's buy you sun hats. Hey, we are ready for the zoo. Oh, look, people are feeding giraffes. They're going to feed the giraffe. We have carrots and bananas. Can we have some food, please? Giraffes use their long tongues to grab food, almost like a hand. They wrap their tongue around it and pull it into their mouth. A giraffe's tongue is dark purple. This color helps protect it from the hot sun. Always wash your hands after animals. Who is that? Hello there, I am an Asian open-billed stork. This bird has a special beak with a little gap in the middle. That gap helps it catch and eat snails. This bird can stay very still for a long time and then quickly grab food with its beak. And over there. It's a walrus. Wow, the walrus can do tricks. Walruses are very smart animals. They can learn many different commands. Walruses learn to open their mouths, show their flippers, And stay still, so veterinarians can examine them and help keep them happy and healthy. Walruses are never punished during training. Get a tasty fish when they do the right thing. Most of these behaviors are not for shows. They help keep the walruses healthy. Oh, it's trying to eat me. The zoo, find me. Why are the kangaroos just lying there? Kangaroos like to relax when the weather is hot. They are often most active in the early morning and evening when the air is cooler. Kangaroos sometimes cover themselves with dirt or sand. It can help keep them cool, protect their skin, and keep annoying insects away. Those are meerkats. Meerkats often stand on their back legs so they can see farther. If one meerkat sees danger, it warns the whole group. Capybaras are herbivores. That means they eat plants, like grass and leaves. This is a land of lemurs. Hello! Lemurs! They have such long, fluffy tails. Lemurs use their tails to help them balance when they climb and jump. And they can jump really far. The alpacas! Cool! Fight over carrot? We have a carrot for everyone! Here you go! This carrot is for you! You are so fluffy! Never touch alpacas! They might spit on you! Oh! What is that? It looks like a giant green ball! It's a calabash fruit. It grows right on the branches of the tree. Its shell becomes super hard when it's ripe. And then it is used to make bowls, cups, and musical instruments. Look! What are those orange birds? Those are flamingos. Actually flamingos are born gray. As they grow their feathers can turn pink, orange, or even reddish. The color comes from special pigments in the food they eat like tiny shrimp and algae. The more pigments they eat the brighter their feathers can become. All these pelicans. Pelicans are large water birds that love eating fish. They're also amazing swimmers and flyers. They have such huge beaks. Big beak helps them catch fish. The stretchy pouch underneath works almost like a fishing net. They scoop up fish and water, drain the water out, and then swallow the fish. Little ponies. Carrots. These are for the ponies. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Want a carrot? This stick helps me feed the ponies safely. Yummy carrots for cute ponies. Everyone gets a carrot. Kids, don't forget to wash your hands after feeding animals. Animal has so many spikes. What is that? It's a porcupine. Its body is covered with thousands of sharp quills that protect it from predators. When it feels threatened, it raises its quills to make itself look bigger and scarier. A lot of fish! These are koi fish! Is this an elephant? Or a pig? It's a tapir! You were close! It does look a little like a pig with an elephant nose. Its long nose works like a small trunk, just like an elephant's. It uses it to grab leaves and fruit. And tapirs are great swimmers, too. No, those aren't turtles. They're tortoises. Compared to turtles who love swimming in the water, tortoises are total land lovers. They have heavy shells and small, sturdy feet made just for walking on dry sand. Oh, look! Here are more tortoises. On hot days, tortoises go into shallow water to cool down and to keep their bodies hydrated. What are those little birds up there? Are those baby birds? Are they real? These are newborn parrot chicks. They don't have colorful feathers yet. They need warmth, food, and lots of care while they grow. This is an incubator. It keeps the eggs warm and safe until the baby parrots are ready to hatch. Oh, it's like a baby room for parrots. The baby parrots are kept warm, fed, and cared for while they grow. Little by little, they get bigger, stronger, and grow beautiful feathers. And these are the grown-up parrots. Yes, now they're big, strong, and colorful. They can fly around, walk on the trees, and move around in the open area instead of staying in small cages. Aww, are they friends? Yes, parrots are very social birds. They love spending time, playing, and staying close to their friends. This zoo is so big. Kids, what was your favorite animal? Look at us. I made a new friend. All coming to me. I've got two parrots now. They are so hungry. Don't worry, we have seeds for everyone. Is there someone on my head? Have now. I guess I'm a parrot now too. Hey, don't bite me. Okay, just a nibble. We're going on a river safari. Here's our boat. It's going to be a real adventure. Are those monkeys? A little village. Who is hanging up there? Do I look... I am not. This is a real jungle.
