If you love critters of all shapes and sizes, 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 2: I need you on our Critter Protector team. Join our 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 2: adventure as we learn about critters from around the world and. 7 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: In our back yards. Well, my friends, are you ready 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. Hi. I'm Terry. 9 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: I will be giving you the tour today. I am 10 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: an aunt and this is our mound. I've lived here 11 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: for my entire life. Over there we have our living quarters, 12 00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: and over there we have our nursery. We are always Wait, 13 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: did you hear that? I thought I heard something from 14 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: above the ground. Just as Terry was giving the tour 15 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: to the new Hire's giant claws broke through the wall. 16 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: Light came pouring into the ant hill, and then a 17 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: giant tongue started slurping up the ants. Terry very calmly 18 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: led the tour to safety and said, oh, it must 19 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: be Tuesday. Every Tuesday, Asher and his mom come to 20 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: the ant mound for lunch. That's something you always have 21 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: to be on the lookout for. Here in the Zarada Canastra, 22 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: just try not to get eaten. Sareda Canastra is a 23 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: beautiful national park in Brazil. Is a home to a 24 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,279 Speaker 1: lot of amazing critters, including the one we are learning 25 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: about today. Huh, what in the world could Asher and 26 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: his mom be so far? We know they love ants 27 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: and they have a very long tongue. Can you solve 28 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: the mystery of who is Asher? Up above the ant mound? 29 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: Asher was so excited because it was Tuesday. He got 30 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: to help his mom find the ant hills on Tuesdays. 31 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 3: Ma'am her a. There, that's the room Sweblller's the third 32 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: soulers as a. 33 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: Turn of vents in there, Asher said excitedly. His mom 34 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: used her long front claws to open the ant mound. 35 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: Ants came out from everywhere. Together they slurped up as 36 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: many ants as they could. I'm gonna trial nothing more 37 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: record for it's all I'm gonna try old hmmm, seven 38 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: thousand ants. He continued to eat, and eat and eat. 39 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: Don't forget to save room for termites, said Asher's mom. 40 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: After this mound, we'll switch over to the termite hills 41 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: and finish up our day there now, climb upon my 42 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: back and let's walk over there. Asher hopped on his 43 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: mom's back and she started walking towards the Termite Hills. 44 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: Asher loved riding on his mom's back. He had been 45 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: doing that since he was born, which was about a 46 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: year and three months ago. Together, they had explored much 47 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: of the amazing park they were in, which was located 48 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: in South America. They came to a river and Asher's 49 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: mom knew exactly what to do. She stepped in slowly 50 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: and started to wade in the water. When she could 51 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: no longer touch the bottom, she started to swim like 52 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: a dog. It was amazing, but very gently also as 53 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: to not knock off her baby Asher on her back. 54 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a dog swim before? Yeah, they 55 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: move all four limbs and kick so their body stays 56 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: above the water. When Asher's mom does it, she looks 57 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: very athletic, like she could keep it up for a 58 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: long time. Asher, just hold on tight to my fur. 59 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: We're almost to the other side. As she was swimming, 60 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: she kept her very long nose above the water, and 61 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: finally they made it to the other side of the 62 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: river safely. It was not that much further until they 63 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: got to the termite hill full of some delicious, delicious termites. 64 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: They heard a rustle in the trees above and looked 65 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: up together and saw some monkeys swinging around from tree 66 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: to tree. One of the monkeys came down and started 67 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: to talk to them. 68 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 4: Hi, I'm Luna. I'm a spider monkey. Over there's my 69 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 4: troop of monkeys I live with. That's my mom and 70 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 4: my dad, and my aunt and my cousin. Wow, that's 71 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 4: a lot living in the trolls, asked Esher has ever 72 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 4: come down to the ground. 73 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,679 Speaker 1: We do sometimes, but we feel most safe high above 74 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: the ground, said Luna. The spider monkey. And I have 75 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: to ask you, what's it like having such a long 76 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: nose and bushy tail? Asked Luna. 77 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 3: Well'll, we'll have to watch where we're a girl and 78 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 3: brother does come in a huddle to hold out our 79 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 3: alarm tongues and set into harder rods. Plus to our 80 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 3: world our brussel tire. That's for style, Luna. Luna yelled 81 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 3: her mom. It's time to come back. We need to 82 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 3: keep moving if we're going to make it to the 83 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: feeding grounds today. 84 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: O Luna. Luda yelled her mom, it's. 85 00:05:59,480 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: Time to go. 86 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: We need to keep moving if we're gonna make it 87 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: to the fading grounds today. Luna the spider monkey waved 88 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: goodbye and jumped and leaped back up the tree. The 89 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: troop took off so effortlessly, they made it look so 90 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: easy to climb through the branches. Asher felt a little 91 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: jealous of that, because Asher was not built in a 92 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: way that could climb trees. Very well. Wow, it's not 93 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: every day we get to see monkeys like that. That 94 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: was a tree, said Asher's mom. They continued on their way, 95 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: and then suddenly they heard another rustle in the bushes 96 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: next to them. They heard the branches move and footsteps 97 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: come closer and closer. This one sounded a little scarier 98 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: than the other sound they heard. Asher held tight to 99 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: his mother and kept his body close to hers. Asher's 100 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: mom looked intently into the forest line, and then suddenly 101 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: he stood up tall. She then went back down on 102 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: all fours. 103 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 3: Curled her along four. 104 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 5: Inch front claws in and started to run away. She 105 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 5: was running so fast Asher could barely hold on. What 106 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 5: in the world do you think Asher's mom saw? And 107 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 5: what in the world kind of gritters are Asher and 108 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 5: his mom?

Let's 113 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: think about the clues. They liked to eat ants and 114 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: what was the other bug? Oh? Yes, termites, ants and 115 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: termites and uh it sounded like his mom and really 116 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: long claws. Oh, and they both have really long noses 117 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: and tongues. Hmmm. What kind of critter loves to eat 118 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: ants and termites and lives in Brazil. I'm not sure yet. 119 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna definitely have to keep thinking about it, and 120 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: you should too, my friends.
