1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Hey, there, would you love to work and play with

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: animals like monkeys, elephants, and pantas every day?

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: That's the exciting life of a zoo keeper.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 3: Hi.

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to Growing Up with Emily, a Lingo kids podcast.

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: It helps kids discover how to be whatever they want

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: to be.

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 4: Growing up? Welling up? Growing up?

9
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: Are you getting distracted by cute animal videos?

10
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 5: Again?

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 3: Sorry, Emily, I can't help it, but you gotta.

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 5: See this one. It's a chimpanzee wearing overalls and playing

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 5: ping pong. Check it out.

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta admit, gymps are pretty funny, and they're

15
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: much smarter than people give them credit for.

16
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: Well, I think all animals are awesome, and there's so

17
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: many cool ones like lions and tigers and bears.

18
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: Oh my, there's something about being around animals that always

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: makes me happy too.

20
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 5: Ince then, I just wish I could learn about animals

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 5: in person. Hmm.

22
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: Well, maybe one day you'll be a zoo keeper.

23
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: A zoo keeper, you mean like a person who looks

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: after your stuff while you're at the zoo and they

25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: keep it for you, a zoo keeper.

26
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: Zoo keepers do work at the zoo, yes, but they

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: get to work directly with the animals every single day.

28
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 5: Really, well, what does zoo keepers do with the animals, Emily?

29
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: They take care of all the creatures that live at

30
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: the zoo, just like your family takes care of you

31
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: at home. They do lots of things like feeding the

32
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: animals and making sure they stay healthy.

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: No way, that sounds like a really awesome job. What

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: else do they do?

35
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad you want to know more about zoo keepers.

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: But rather than just tell you, I think I've got

37
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: a better idea.

38
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 5: No, I hope you think of what I'm thinking. Emily.

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: Oh you know I am Winson. I think it's time

40
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 2: for a field trip to zoo.

41
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 5: Wow. I feel great being at the zoo. There's so

42
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 5: many colorful.

43
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 3: Birds and cool animals to see.

44
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 6: Fury Dati Zan, Welcome to the zoo. Please be on

45
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 6: the lookout for a spider monkey with a sweet tooth

46
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 6: who cleverly escaped his pen earlier today. If you see

47
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 6: Reginald that is his name. Please notify the nearest zoo keeper.

48
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: Spider monkey on the loose, Oh boy, I hope I

49
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: can find him.

50
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: Keep your eyes peeled on the trees. Spider monkeys love

51
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: to swing from branch to branch. They're very cute but

52
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: can be very mischievous too.

53
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: Hey, that's spider Monkey and I have more in common

54
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: than just a sweet tooth.

55
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 5: Then I'm also very cute and mischievous.

56
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Hey, I've got a great idea. Why don't

57
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: we play. I spy while we're here. I spy with

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: my little eye.

59
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: Something pink?

60
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: Oh, that one's obvious. It's those flamingos. Look at their

61
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: pretty pink feathers.

62
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: Great job. Do you know why flamingos are always pink? Winston?

63
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: They're blushing because everyone's staring at their long luscious ness.

64
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

65
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: It's because flamingoes eat whole buckets of pink shrimp. They

66
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: eat so much shrimp that it turns their feathers pink.

67
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: Isn't that interesting?

68
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 5: Wow?

69
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: So what's the big deal with the shellfish, Emily, I'm

70
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: sure there's other things flamingos could eat.

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: Right, Well, shrimp are good for them.

72
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: It's actually the zookeeper's job to plant out healthy meals

73
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: for every single animal, and they all like eating different things,

74
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: just like we do.

75
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 5: WHOA, that lion's huge.

76
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: My Betty eats a lot No doubt Winston.

77
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: And just like the flamingos, zookeepers feed lions the food

78
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: they eat in the wild too, only in here lions

79
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: eat cows steak instead of zebra steak, and other animals

80
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: eat fruits, veggies and bugs.

81
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 5: Bugs yuck.

82
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: Sure, lots of birds, reptiles and mammals eat bugs. In fact,

83
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: an important part of a zoo keeper's job is to

84
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: make sure each animal gets enough of.

85
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: The foods they like so that they can stay strong

86
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 2: and healthy.

87
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: That's great, The lions definitely don't want bugs. That big

88
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: one's jungle royalty. He deserves a whole feast fit for

89
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: a king.

90
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 4: The love.

91
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: Actually funny you should mention royalty because the history of

92
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: zookeeping goes back to olden times when kings and queens

93
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: caught and kept animals in their private gardens.

94
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 5: Really did they have zookeepers to take care of the animals?

95
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 5: Back then?

96
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: They sure did, and people were so interested in seeing strange,

97
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: exotic creatures from all over the world that public zoos

98
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: were created. The first one opened two hundred and fifty

99
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: years ago in Austria.

100
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: Whoa, so zookeepers have been around since before Great Great Grandma's.

101
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: That's right, and zoos allow us to study animals up close,

102
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: so we can do a better job of understanding how

103
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: they live in the wild.

104
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 5: But why do the animals have to be in cages? Emily?

105
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: Does that make you feel sad?

106
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 5: Yeah? A bit.

107
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: Well, some people do think it's cruel to keep animals

108
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: in zoos, and they say that zoos shouldn't even exist.

109
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: Others think they're important because we never get to see

110
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: real elephants or giraffes or lions if it.

111
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: Weren't for zoos.

112
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: Well, what do you think, am we Well?

113
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: I guess I understand both sides. On one hand, the

114
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: idea of taking animals out of their natural habitat is sad. Yeah,

115
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: but some animals are endangered, so zoos are a safe

116
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: space for them to live.

117
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 3: Emily, do you think the animals miss their homes? Maybe

118
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: that's why the spider monkey wanted to escape.

119
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, Winston, But doos try really hard to

120
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: make the animals new homes look and feel like they're

121
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: natural ones?

122
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 5: Oh, so that's why the crocodile's pen looks like a swamp.

123
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 5: I just thought he was really messy.

124
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: Yes, and the lion's den looks like a jungle, which

125
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: reminds me lions usually.

126
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: Have the best dens at the zoo. Do you know why?

127
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: No? I don't. Why because lions are the main attraction.

128
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 5: Get it?

129
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: Because lions have manes around their necks all about burr

130
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: the main attraction.

131
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 5: Oh, sure, yeah, I get it. Nice one, Emily.

132
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: At least the hyenas think I'm funny.

133
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: I've got another one, Emily. I spy with my little eye,

134
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: something big and gray.

135
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: Hmm, what could it be? Oh? The elephants, of course.

136
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: Ah, dang it. You wouldn't have gotten it if they

137
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 5: hadn't made all those noises.

138
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: Sure I would have. How could I miss them? They're huge?

139
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: And those elephants are playing with that floating barrel in

140
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: the water.

141
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 5: It looks like they're having so much fun. Hey, Emily.

142
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: Do zoo keepers give the animals baths too?

143
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes zook keeperscrub elephants with brushes, for example, but they

144
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: mainly provide ways for different animals too clean themselves. Animals

145
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: like penguins and crocodiles love splashing in pools or ponds,

146
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: especially when it's hot outside. Others like turkeys and ostriches,

147
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: enjoy rolling in the dusts.

148
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 5: WHOA, what's a big guy? I don't need a shower.

149
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: Hey, wait, did you say some animals roll around in

150
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: the dirt to stay clean.

151
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 5: That doesn't make any sense. I know it.

152
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: Sounds weird, right, but each type of animal has lots

153
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: of special behaviors, and it's the zookeeper's job to know

154
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: what they all need.

155
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 5: WHOA do you hear that up in the bamboo trees?

156
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 5: I bet it's Reginald, the missing spider monkey.

157
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: Oh right, I'd nearly forgotten. It sounds a bit bigger

158
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: than a spider monkey to me, Winston.

159
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 5: Whatever it is it isn't coming out. Is that animal hiding, Emily?

160
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: I don't know.

161
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: Some zoo animals, like sloths or meerkats hide away in

162
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: trees or go off to take long naps.

163
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: Hey, that zookeeper just threw a bouncing ball into that pen.

164
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: She's trying to get them to come out and play. Yep.

165
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: Zookeepers give the animals fun activities to do and games

166
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: to play so that they don't get bored.

167
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: It keeps them happy. Oh, something's coming down from the bamboo.

168
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 3: What is it?

169
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 5: What is it? Oh? My goodness? Und it's so fluffy

170
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 5: and cuddly. I just want to squeeze it.

171
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: Do you think the zookeepers ever get to cuddle the animals, Emily.

172
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: As adorable as that may sound, zookeepers must always remember

173
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: that all the creatures at the zoo are still wild animals,

174
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: so it's best to show love and care from a

175
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: safe distance.

176
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 7: Ah.

177
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: That sheet is napping in the sun. You know it's

178
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 3: pretty cute too. Okay, it's my turn again. I spy

179
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: with my little eye. Whoa something tall and skinny that

180
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: looks like a lanky sheep And it's.

181
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 5: Not Reginald riding on its back? What was that, Emily, Wow?

182
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: Suh, that's a llama Winston. It must have gotten out

183
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: of its pen.

184
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: And that was Reginald, the spider monkey, riding on its back.

185
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: And it looked like Reginald was holding a mango.

186
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 6: Oh.

187
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: Look into the lama pin Winston. You see all the

188
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: fruit growing on the trees in.

189
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 5: There, mangoes. That's why Reginald escaped. He wanted to get

190
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 5: into the lama pen to eat the mangoes.

191
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe he got out just to get a snack. Well,

192
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's okay. Zookeepers have their work cut out

193
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: for them. Sometimes, Hey, there's another zookeeper in the pen

194
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: next to that llama lying in the shade.

195
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 3: Oh no, Emily, I think that lama is sick, poor

196
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: little guy. But the zookeeper's giving it some medicine and

197
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: a bottle.

198
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 5: Huh. Now, I hope you feel better soon, little lama.

199
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: With the zookeepers help, it probably will.

200
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: That's just another part of a zookeeper's job, caring for

201
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: the animals when they get sick.

202
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 5: But how did the zuke keepers know if the animals

203
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 5: are sick, Emily, Well.

204
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: They spend so much time with the animals they notice

205
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: even these smallest changes and the animals.

206
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: Behavior, like how people can tell when their dogs are sad, right,

207
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: or if they aren't being themselves sometimes.

208
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: Sort of yeah.

209
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: Many zookeepers learn how to look for certain signs and

210
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: to communicate with the animals they care for.

211
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 5: WHOA whoaa?

212
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: What?

213
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 5: Communicate with the animals? How did they do that text message?

214
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: It depends on the animal.

215
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: Some zookeepers copy certain animals sounds to get their attention,

216
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: but zookeepers can also communicate with some animals like chems

217
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: and gorillas using hand gestures or sign language.

218
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: That is so awesome. I want to talk to what gorilla?

219
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 5: I'd be like, Hey, gorilla, what's up? Pass through one

220
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 5: of those bananas.

221
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 3: Buddy, high five you gorilla?

222
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 2: So would I.

223
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 3: So zoo keepers have to check on all the animals

224
00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: every day, feed them, clean them, play with them.

225
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 5: That's a lot.

226
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: You're right.

227
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: They also have to get to the zoo early before

228
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: the animals wake up, and lift heavy water hoses and

229
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: food buckets. It can be hard work. Plus, many zoo

230
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: keepers even work on holidays.

231
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,359
Speaker 3: Really don't they want to spend holidays with their families.

232
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: Well, for many zoo keepers, the animals are like members

233
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: of their own family, and even though zoos are closed

234
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: on holidays, the animals still need food and water.

235
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 5: I'd love to have Christmas with a koala.

236
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 2: The how about Passover with the penguin?

237
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 5: For Halloween with a hippo? What a fun day at

238
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 5: the zoo. It sure is getting quiet now that the

239
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 5: sun's going down.

240
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: Look that puma's asleep under a tree and even the

241
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: flamingos are resting. Wait, they sleep standing up on one leg.

242
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 5: Man. Animals are wild.

243
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: Yep At the end of the day, the zookeepers make

244
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: sure all the animals are in their cages with doors

245
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: locked and secured to keep them safe.

246
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: So the animals can get a good night's sleep too.

247
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 5: But what about the ones that stay up all night

248
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 5: like bats and owls?

249
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: You're right, Winston.

250
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: A lot of animals do sleep when the sun's down

251
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: like us, but some, like foxes, hedgehogs, and badgers, are

252
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: more active when it's dark out. So there are zookeepers

253
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: who work overnight to make sure those animals are okay too.

254
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: Hey, Emily, yes, Winston.

255
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: Do you really think animals care about their zookeepers as

256
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 3: much as the zoo keepers care about them?

257
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 2: Hmmm, good question. I think a lot of them do.

258
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: I actually know a cool story about that.

259
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 5: What is it?

260
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: One day there was a zookeeper playing inside a pen

261
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: with a lot of big cats. He cared for tigers, leopards,

262
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: and lions.

263
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 5: Oh inside the pen? Was it locked? He must have

264
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 5: been braved?

265
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was locked inside with them.

266
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: But he also saw most of these cats every and

267
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: knew what their personalities were like, and they trusted each other.

268
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 5: That's cool. So what happened?

269
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: Well, there was one sly cat a big black leopard

270
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: at the zoo. The leopard was pretty new and the

271
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: zookeeper didn't know him well yet, and the leopard was

272
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: acting very shifty.

273
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 5: Oh, I don't like where this is going.

274
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: The zoo keeper was just minding his own business, playing

275
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: here Katy, Kitty kitty with the tigers and lions, when

276
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: suddenly the big black leopard charged at the zookeeper when

277
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: he had his back turn.

278
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 5: Oh no, leopards are fast too.

279
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: They sure are. But do you know what else is fast?

280
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: What tigers?

281
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: And as soon as the tiger saw the leopard running

282
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: at the zookeeper, the tiger leaped into the air and

283
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: tackled the big black leopard to the ground.

284
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 3: WHOA, So the tiger saved the zoo keeper exactly.

285
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: The tiger took care of his human friend, just like

286
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: the zoo keeper took care of him. It's a crazy

287
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: job and you have to be careful, but it's good

288
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: to know that some animals care just as much about

289
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: people as we care about them.

290
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 5: That is so awesome. I want a tiger friend that'll

291
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 5: roar in to save me.

292
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: Ah maybe one day, Winston.

293
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: If you work hard to become a zoo keeper and

294
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: earn your stripes.

295
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: Get it like tiger stripes.

296
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 5: Ah, boy, she's got jokes, She's got jokes. Want to

297
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 5: crack up? Do you think I have what it takes

298
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 5: to be a zookeeper? Emily?

299
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

300
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: Oh, the zoo gates are closing. Why don't we get
