1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Hello, Critter Protectors. 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 2: Mister Jim here and welcome to Kids Animal Stories, a 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 2: place where there's always a mystery and adventure around every 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 2: single corner. 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 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. Landing the lama 9 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: woke up to the fresh smell of dew on the 10 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: field outside his home. He lived on a small farm 11 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: in the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado. He lived with 12 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: his mom, dad, brother, and sisters, along with many other 13 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: farm animals. Hey, friends, did you know that lamas are 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: actually in the same family as camels? A long time ago? 15 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: You know, the people of the Andreas use them to 16 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: help carry their belongings. They are what we call domesticated 17 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: animals and are no longer called wild animals. Another morning 18 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,639 Speaker 1: of firm life for me, Landon thought to himself. Lenden 19 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: walked out of his small shelter and his cozy haybed 20 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: and out into the pasture. He munched some grass and 21 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: some other leafy greens, and then wandered back to his 22 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: Mama Lama. Good morning, Landon, What are you planning to 23 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: do today? Mama Lama asked, I don't know, Mama. I 24 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: wish we had lived out at the wilderness like the 25 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: olden days. I had had lots, I know, things to 26 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: see you do. Landon was a little upset that he 27 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: didn't have an exciting day with new scenery in front 28 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: of him. Have you ever felt that way before? I know, 29 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: I definitely have. You. See, llamas have many features that 30 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: help them in rough terrain. They're two toad feet, have 31 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: soft leather pads to help them on rocky paths. They 32 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: have thick fur to keep them warm and protect them 33 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: from bug bites. Their eyes are even positioned on the 34 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: side of their heads so they can keep a close 35 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: lookout for predators. Looks like Landon is, you know? Wanting 36 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: to use some of those amazing features and skills of 37 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: his body. Landon wished he could leave his fence area 38 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: and get a taste of the wild. It just sounded 39 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: so exciting. He actually wished this so much that he 40 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 1: made a very very bad decision to run away up 41 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: the mountain. Oh dear, I'll just go for a little 42 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: adventure hobby back before mob even wakes up for her nap, thought, 43 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: Landing ventured up a rocky side of the foothill outside 44 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: his fence. Thankfully, his feet helped him balance on that 45 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: rocky path so he didn't fall over. Wow, this is 46 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. 47 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: As he got higher and higher, the air got thinner 48 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: and thinner. Did you know that higher altitude has less oxygen. Yeah? Well, thankfully, 49 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: Lama's blood are perfectly well adapted to this change. They 50 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: could do just fine with that high altitude. After a 51 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: little bit, Landing came to the top of the rocky 52 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: path and stopped in a flat area. He munched on 53 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: some tasty plants, chewed them super long hot, and looked 54 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: out across the valley. This is such a beautiful view. 55 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: I can't believe I've been messing out on this my 56 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: whole life. I could thief for mile. Landon was obviously 57 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: thrilled to have something new to look at. I think 58 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: I'll just follow that path a little bit before I 59 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: head home. I got plenty of time, he thought, and 60 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: headed down this trail. About two minutes after he started 61 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: walking again, he came across quite a surprise. Hikers ahead 62 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: of him was a family just like his farmers. There 63 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: were two little humans and two big ones out on 64 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: a hike together. Lena never understood why the humans went 65 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: on these ventures. Not only were they less capable with 66 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: their silly looking feet in those strange contraptions they had 67 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: tied around their toes, but they also had motorized boxes 68 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: that could take them places so much easier, Like, why 69 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: would they just want to go walk around when they 70 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: can hop in a metal box and you know, move around. 71 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: As the family got closer, Landon could tell the small 72 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: ones were up to no good. Hey, it's a lama 73 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: called the little girl here, Lama Lama, the boy started 74 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 1: to say and clapped his hands to try and draw 75 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: the attention of the lama. Landon needed to get away 76 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: if he wanted to get any more adventuring in Before 77 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: heading home. He decided he was going to need to 78 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: give a warning to these kids. What you, Landon gave 79 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: a giant spit all right towards the kids. Ah. They 80 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: both screamed and then started to laugh. Oh, hold on 81 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: a second, did land In the llama just spit? Oh? Yeah, 82 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: lamas are expert spitters. It's one way they give up 83 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: a warning to stay away if you don't want to 84 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: get spit upon. That's gross. Landon was hoping one spit 85 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: would do the trick, and it obviously wasn't. He was 86 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: gonna need to do it again. He let out another 87 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: huge spit that flew six feet all the way to 88 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: the kids splat. Not only do lama spit well, but 89 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: grown lamas can spit up to fifteen feet away. The 90 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: big icky spit landed right on the little boy's shoe. 91 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: Ah lock, your ross is disgusting, Mom, Mom, the llama 92 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: spit it me. The little boy shouted, Holy smokes. Will 93 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: this be enough to send our family of humans on 94 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: their way or will they realize that Landing really shouldn't 95 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: be out on this hiking path. We are gonna have 96 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: to wait and see what happens on the next episode 97 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: of Kids Animal Stories. We'll be right back after a 98 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: brief word from our sponsor. Great job, you listened all 99 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: the way to the end. Wow, lamas are pretty hilarious. 100 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: They're actually very social animals, so it makes sense they 101 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: need a way to communicate other than sticking out their 102 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: tongues in disgust or spitting. One of the ways they 103 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: communicate is they actually hummed to each other. M do 104 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: you know how to hum? Well, you keep working on 105 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: your humming and I will see you on our next adventure. Bye.
