- Synopsis:
Children's favourite, Andy Day, explores how baby animals learn skills such as climbing, swimming and fishing when it comes to embarking on life's little challenges.
First Steps
Andy Day looks at baby animals' tricky first steps. How polar bear cubs deal with the slippery snow of the Arctic and in Africa, a baby elephant needs mum's help to stand up.
Climbing
Andy knows young animals make great climbers. In North America, black bear cubs must learn to climb the right tree, and a slippery river bank is a challenge for giant river otters in Brazil.
Too Hot Too ColdWhat do young animals do if they're too hot or too cold? Andy shows us how elephants take a mud bath in the African sun to cool down and how in snowy Japan, hot springs make a great bath for clever monkeys.
Jumping
Andy bounces in to see why young animals j'ump. Springbok don't just jump, they pronk - which means showing off! The unusual jerboa jumps to avoid danger in the Mongolian desert.
Getting Around
Join Andy as he watches baby animals getting around. Wildebeest can learn to stand just three minutes after they're born on African plains. Adelie penguin chicks race across Antarctic rocks after their food.
Fishing
Andy introduces those baby animals that are learning to fish, in Canada, young grizzly bears attempt to catch some slippery fish and, in Cambodia, Oriental darters practise fishing with twigs.
Hitching a Ride
Andy learns how young animals get a ride, in Madagascar, ring-tailed lemurs get a piggyback from mum and in Australia, kangaroos have a special pouch to hold their babies.
Breakfast Time
Finding breakfast takes practice for youngsters. A young sea otter watches mum cracking shellfish open, and capuchin monkeys must learn how to break into yummy nuts.
Swimming
How do animals learn to swim? In New Zealand, baby fur seals choose a safe pool in a river and in Antarctica, Adelie penguin chicks have to learn how to sink.
Bedtime
Andy knows every young animal needs a place to rest. Many young apes must learn how to make a bed out of leaves. In Tibet, bar-headed geese make a soft fluffy nest out of feathers on the hard rock.- Actors:
