Speaker 1: Concil to paper, sketching you art on this page. What
Speaker 1: kind of journey will this drawing bring to life?
Speaker 2: Today?
Speaker 1: Another adventure waits for you. A ro scout and Layla.
Speaker 1: My comment wong to It's imagination time.
Speaker 3: And Curiosity cold Curiosity came. It's a magical place come true.
Speaker 3: Welcome to Adventures of Curiosity.
Speaker 4: Cald Hello, and welcome back to season three of Adventures
Speaker 4: of Curiosity Cove. It's meet Ella the Curious and whether
Speaker 4: you're joining us for the first time or coming back
Speaker 4: for more adventures, I'm so thrilled to have you here.
Speaker 4: This season, we'll dive into brand new adventures from my treehouse.
Speaker 4: Think cozy beanbags, bluffy pillows, and of course my favorite
Speaker 4: stuffy row right by my side. It's peaceful, almost like
Speaker 4: my mom just used her relaxing dream spread. Perfect for
Speaker 4: story time. Today, I get to introduce you to a
Speaker 4: new series called Animal Apprentice.
Speaker 5: Have you ever.
Speaker 4: Wondered what it would be like to wake up as
Speaker 4: a brand new animal deep in the ocean, high in
Speaker 4: the jungle canopy, or out on the wide Sirrengetti, an
Speaker 4: Animal Apprentice, you step into the tiny paws, claws, wings,
Speaker 4: or fins of a baby animal seeing the world for
Speaker 4: the first time. Each episode a wise grown up animal
Speaker 4: because your guide teaching you how to survive and discover
Speaker 4: your special traits.
Speaker 5: So what are we waiting for.
Speaker 2: Let's dive in Katie the cuttlefish.
Speaker 5: O MG, high, little cutlet. Look at how cue you are? Yes,
Speaker 5: I just called you a cutlet. Cutlet's the name of
Speaker 5: a baby cuttlefish, which you are. Welcome to the ocean.
Speaker 5: You must have been just born. I just saw all
Speaker 5: your brothers and sisters swim by. There were so many
Speaker 5: of you. I couldn't tell the number because I can't
Speaker 5: count that fast. I just know that when a mother
Speaker 5: cuttlefish gives birth, she gives birth to one hundred to
Speaker 5: three hundred babies. All. Look how tiny and cute you are.
Speaker 5: I know you can't see you, but you're like the
Speaker 5: size of a tic tac or a pearl, or a bead,
Speaker 5: or a Clarendon pill or a Okay, that's enough. My
Speaker 5: name's Katie. I'm a two month old cuddlefish. That's why
Speaker 5: I'm so much bigger than you. I'm practically a teenager.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not going to be old for an
Speaker 5: entire year. My great grandma lived to be one year
Speaker 5: and six months old. We were all like, whoa, great
Speaker 5: grandma are you shooting for two years old? But she
Speaker 5: didn't make it the two she's ain essenced. That means
Speaker 5: she just deteriorated on the spot. That happens around one
Speaker 5: to two years for us cuttlefish. But you don't have
Speaker 5: to worry about that. That's like forever away and seems
Speaker 5: really peaceful. WHOA, I gotta tell you a cool fact
Speaker 5: I just learned from my mom. So, like four hundred
Speaker 5: million years ago or so, you would have been boreden
Speaker 5: with a hard exterior shell. All of us cuttlefish used
Speaker 5: to have shells like a mollusk, until one brave cuddlefish
Speaker 5: said I can't take it anymore. This shell is weighing
Speaker 5: me down and I need to be free, and he
Speaker 5: just ditched his shell to go hunt, and the rest
Speaker 5: is history. We're free of a big shell because of
Speaker 5: that fella or gal. I wish I could have met
Speaker 5: him or her to thank whoever it was. Okay, so
Speaker 5: I'm sure you're crazy hungry. Good news. You could start
Speaker 5: hunting right now. Yeah, like right from birth. You can
Speaker 5: start hunting for your own food. Let me see, let
Speaker 5: me see, Oh what's on the menu today? What are
Speaker 5: you hungry for? Ah? Brian shrimp ten o'clock just right
Speaker 5: over there. See that little shrimp swimming around saying good lit,
Speaker 5: Come eat me, I'm tasty. You're hungry? Quick rundown first?
Speaker 5: See my cute little sk you have one too. That's
Speaker 5: how we swim backward and forward. But if you have
Speaker 5: to make a dash for it, you could squirt water
Speaker 5: out of your gut in any direction and propel yourself
Speaker 5: in the opposite direction, similar to a car or a plane.
Speaker 5: But the best hunting technique is to be super calm
Speaker 5: and patient. Sneak up on your prey. Prey is any
Speaker 5: animal hunted by another animal, and show them your dazzling
Speaker 5: lights and skirt. In your little p sized body, you
Speaker 5: have around one million chromatophores. That's just a fancy word
Speaker 5: for cells that produce color. What does that all mean?
Speaker 5: That means that you can change the color and the
Speaker 5: shape or texture of your skin. Your skin can expand
Speaker 5: and contract. How cool is that? You're like a mini
Speaker 5: Marvel character. I'm sure you noticed you have some cool
Speaker 5: new set of peepers. Look into my eyes. You see
Speaker 5: my eyes look like Charlie Brown's weird smirk or a
Speaker 5: super squiggly w or a smile that has a bump
Speaker 5: in the center. Yeah, our eyes are pretty amazing and
Speaker 5: beautiful unlike any other creature on Earth. We have a
Speaker 5: binocular vision where we can see all around our body.
Speaker 5: No blind spots here, and yep, it's black and white,
Speaker 5: but we can see contrast and polarization really well. Have
Speaker 5: you ever looked through polarizing sunglasses. It's like seeing the
Speaker 5: world in a different way. Everything pops out, including depth, color,
Speaker 5: and movement. Our eyes are out of this world, well,
Speaker 5: I mean in our body, but they're really cool, unlike
Speaker 5: any other eye on this planet. Oh and we have
Speaker 5: three hearts, so if you're gonna sing a song with
Speaker 5: the word heart in it, you have to change it
Speaker 5: to plural hearts like.
Speaker 6: Total licklips of the heart, or quit playing games with
Speaker 6: my hearts, or everybody's got a hungry hearts, or don't go.
Speaker 5: Breaking my hearts? Help John? No. Anyway, you have five senses.
Speaker 5: You might think you don't have smell underwater, but guess
Speaker 5: what you do yep sight. Obviously we already discussed smell taste, hearing,
Speaker 5: and do you think touch. I mean, we can do
Speaker 5: that with our tentacles, but our major last sense is balance.
Speaker 5: We can all use a little of that, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. We need this balance for everything huntings, swimming,
Speaker 5: so hearing is a big one. Recently, we've been having
Speaker 5: a hard time with this sense due to all the
Speaker 5: humans and their big machines. I mean, I don't blame them,
Speaker 5: They're just trying to live. But the sounds affect how
Speaker 5: we listen for prey. We can hear super low frequency sounds,
Speaker 5: so we can tell when a bigger fish is trying
Speaker 5: to sneak up on us. Well, I think I told
Speaker 5: you enough, and I'm sure you're ready to go live
Speaker 5: your best life. So go find a comfy spot in
Speaker 5: the sand and cover yourself up to your eyes. That's
Speaker 5: what all the little babies do to hide for prey
Speaker 5: until they grow up. It was so nice talking to you,
Speaker 5: and I wish you a super happy and healthy life.
Speaker 5: I hope you live to like two years and a
Speaker 5: day old.
Speaker 4: Chow a dazzling skirt that helps them swim in any
Speaker 4: direction that they want. I'm gonna try that maybe in
Speaker 4: my bathtub anyway, it's really cool. I hope you enjoyed
Speaker 4: our podcast story as much as I did today. Boy
Speaker 4: was I come fee and cozy and all tuned in.
