1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: All they're there.

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 2: That's a good.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Little Joey here has some more.

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: What what are you doing?

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: I was just feeding this Joey Cowie. Who is Joey

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Well Elliott. This Joey is not a person. A Joey

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: is another name for a baby kangaroo.

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: A baby kangaroo, baby kangaroo.

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to Storytime by Lingo Kids, where we discover fascinating

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: facts about the world around us and the fun of

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: play learning. Join us today as we feed the Joey's

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: at the Wildlife Park and meet some other marsupial mammals.

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: Why are you thinking it was a bottle.

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: Well, Cowie, I am giving it a special milk formula.

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: This Joey was rescued by our wonderful friends here at

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: the Wildlife Park, so it needs special care.

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: What do they know? Why am I eat?

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: In the wild? Baby Joey's drink milk from their mother,

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: and when they get a little older, they eat grass

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: and leaves.

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 2: Oh, it is so cute. Look there's a grown up

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: kangaroo bouncing around.

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: Yes, and you can tell it's a mommy kangaroo because

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: she has her little Joey in her pouch.

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 2: A pouch a pouch.

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: That's right, up pouch. Joey's stay in their mother's pouch

27
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: for about six months after they're born.

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: Look, I have my pouch here. It doesn't have a jelly,

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: but has pencils, crayons, and a racer.

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: A kangaroo's pouch is different from a pouch for school supplies, Elliott.

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: A kangaroo's pouch is part of its body. It's like

32
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: a large pocket attached to the kangaroo's tummy. Um, Cowie,

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: why are you rubbing your tummy.

34
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: I'm looking for my pouch. Of course, great idea, let's

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: do it. I can't find MINEO me.

36
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: That's because not all animals have pouches. In fact, only

37
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: animals of a very specific kind have pouches. This kind

38
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: of animal is called a marsupial. That's right, Billy. A

39
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: kangaroo is a marsupial because mother kangaroos have pouches.

40
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: There are more soup eels.

41
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: You almost said it right, Elliott. Let's practice one more

42
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: time and say marsupial on the account of three one two.

43
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: Three marsupial.

44
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: Great job. Now to answer your question, Elliot, yes, there

45
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: are more marsupials. In fact, that's why we're at the

46
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: Wildlife Park today to learn more about marsupials.

47
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: Let's go. Let's go.

48
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: Look at this one. It's gray and furry. It loves

49
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: to climb trees, loves to sleep and eats eucalyptus leaves.

50
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: Can you guess what animal this is? Yes, it's a koala.

51
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: Koalas live in Australia like the kangaroo. You might hear

52
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: some people call them koala bears, but they're not bears

53
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: at all. They are marsupials.

54
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: So they had pouches too.

55
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: Yes. Another interesting fact about marsupials is that they are

56
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: all mammals, meaning that they have fur. They give birth

57
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: to live babies, not eggs, and the mothers feed their

58
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: baby's milk.

59
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: I think I knew that word. Didn't we talk about

60
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: mammals before? Yes?

61
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: I remember, that's right. We talked about mammals back in January.

62
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Lingo Kids listeners, you want to learn more about mammals,

63
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: how A listen to our Storytime World of Wonders episode

64
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: after this.

65
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: Fun Look what does that one?

66
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: It looks like a giant hamster. Ah. That one's called

67
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: a wombat. It also lives in Australia as you can

68
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: see Australia is home to many marsupials. Let's go meet

69
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: some marsupials from a different geographic location or another place

70
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: in the world.

71
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: Great idea, let's go.

72
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: This part of the Wildlife park has animals from America,

73
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: which includes South, Central and North America.

74
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: Look, I've seen that one before. It loves to hang

75
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 2: from branches with this tail, and it's gray with a

76
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: white face.

77
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: Do you know what it's called. Yes, it's an opossum.

78
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: The opossum is found in South America, Central America, Mexico,

79
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: the US, and even Canada. In fact, it's the only

80
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: marsupial found in North America.

81
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: What does that one? It looks like the apossum, but

82
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: it's tiny.

83
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: That one is called a sugar glider. It's actually a

84
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: kind of possum and it's a marsupial as well. As

85
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: you can see, marsupials can come in all shapes and sizes. Wow,

86
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: there are so many more marsupials. Our planet has so

87
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: much animal diversity.

88
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: Isn't that where the older people go to study.

89
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: That's a university, Elliott. Animal diversity is the incredibly wide

90
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: range of different animals that live on planet Earth. There

91
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: are so many different kinds. Wow. Wildlife parks like this

92
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: one that protect and rescue animals are great because they

93
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: help protect that diversity, and they also teach people about

94
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: animals and how to protect them and their natural environments

95
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: that they live in. This's fine, We'll have to come

96
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: back again. Ye yeah, we had a great time. Lingo
