Well, my friends, are you 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: ready for today's adventure? Me too, Let's go. Ivy and 9 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: Jack had just turned three months old, which means they 10 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: were off on their own. These young Tasmanian devils had 11 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: spent the last three months in their mother's pouch like 12 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: all marsupials do. Now it was time for them to 13 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: set off. Have you ever heard of a Tasmanian de Oh? 14 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: These critters only live in Tasmania, which is an island 15 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: off the south coast of the mainland of Australia. They 16 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: look kind of like a scary black bossom with sharp teeth. Well, 17 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: Ivy and Jack were off on their own for the 18 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: first time, and they were on the hunt for some dinner. Ivy, 19 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: do you have any idea or to start searching for 20 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: some food? I'm so hungry, Jack said, Well, I'm not 21 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: one hundred percent, but moms did say the farms end 22 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: street were are where we eat. I guess we should 23 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: find a farm or a street, Ivy said. The two 24 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: started heading further into the deep forest. They weren't exactly 25 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: sure where they were heading, but they figured if they 26 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: kept moving on and they'd be bound to find something. 27 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: As they wandered around, they kept their eyes wide open, 28 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: looking and searching for some meat to eat. Do you 29 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: know what we call critters that eat meat? Yes, a carnivore. 30 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: Tasmanian devils are carnivores. That means they're meat eaters, a 31 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: scavenge for dead animals, and have the ability to eat 32 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: every single part of them, even the bones. After about 33 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: an hour, Ivy and Jack were startled by a loud sound. 34 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: They both yelled in their typical das Manian devil sound. 35 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: Holy smokes, that was a scary sound. Yeah, Tasmanian devils 36 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: have a lot of scary sounds they make. They sound 37 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: like a really tough and scary animal. But really it's 38 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: a sound they make because they're nervous and afraid. Ivy, 39 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: what was there? Jack asked, in a very nervous voice. 40 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, Jack Ivy said back. They looked around 41 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: and soon came a winding road. Oh, the sound they 42 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: had heard was a car zooming past. Soon another one 43 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: whiz by. They both shrieked again and then realized, Oh, phew, 44 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: it's a car on the road. Jack said, cars are scary, 45 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: but probably not as scary as some other things. Ivy said, Well, 46 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: now that we've found a street, like Mama said, maybe 47 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: we'll find something to eat. I'm starving. They walked along 48 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: the edge of the road, searching for a carcass to eat. 49 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: Can you imagine eating a dead carcass off the side 50 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: of the road. Ikes, that's pretty disgusting. Hey, look ahead there, Ivy, 51 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: I see something. Jack said excitedly. It looks like some 52 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: kind of food, but it's not very big, Ivy said. 53 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: They walked up to what appeared to be a small wallaby. 54 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: Seemed like some other critters had already eaten most of it, 55 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: but both dug in on what was left. Tasmanian devils 56 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: have the strongest bite for their size of any mammal 57 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: in the world. Wow, this makes them the perfect cleaning 58 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: crew or anything left behind by other animals. Wow, that 59 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: must be a really strong jaw that they can even 60 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: chop through the bones. After eating, Ivy and Jack did 61 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: feel a little better, but they definitely needed to keep 62 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: searching for more food. Let's keep following the road a bit, 63 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: maybe you will find something a little more filling. As 64 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: they walked along, they started to hear shrieks of other 65 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: Tasmanian devils. This wasn't too startling at first, but the 66 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: sounds got louder and louder until they found themselves face 67 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: to face with much figure and scarier, grown up Tasmanian devils. Say, 68 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: very young ones, what are you up to around these parts? 69 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: The sly Tazzy came closer as he tried to scare them. Oh, 70 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: we are just passing by, Jack said, we aren't here, 71 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: freddy trouble, Ivey added, Will, said another Tasmanian devil who 72 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: came from behind some bushes. We didn't expect to have 73 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: such a simple meal right in front of us today, 74 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: did we, Jared? Nope, But what a surprise, jared. The 75 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: sly Tassi made a growling sound and came even closer 76 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: to Ivy and Jack. Quick, Ivy the tree, we gotta 77 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: get out of here, Jack shouted. Two of them dashed 78 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: to the right and climbed as fast as they could 79 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: up the first tree they could see. They went up 80 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: as fast as they could and sat quietly. They could 81 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: hear the two grown Tasmanian devils below them. Where did 82 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: our afternoon snack go? Jared snarled, They must have gotten away, 83 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: those sneaky, sneaky devils, the other one said back. Ivy 84 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: and Jack continued to sit quietly, not trying to move 85 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: a muscle or make a single sound. Oh no, Will 86 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: Ivy and Jack be okay after their close encounter with 87 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: those two main Tasmanian devils. Will they be able to 88 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: make it to safety and find some more food or 89 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: will they become the snack of those two very mean 90 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: Tasmanian devils. I'm not sure. We're gonna have to wait 91 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: and see what happens on the next episode of Kids 92 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: Animal Stories. We'll be right back after a brief word 93 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: from our sponsor. Great job, you listened all the way 94 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: to the end. So do you know how I'm making 95 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: that sound for the Tasmanian devil? Hey, I'm breathing in 96 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: air and kind of squeezing my throat together to make it, 97 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: kind of do a reverse whistle. Oh oh wow, that 98 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: was pretty good. You might want to be careful and 99 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: not do that too loudly outside because of Tasmanian might 100 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: hear it and might think you want to fight. Well, friends, 101 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: be careful with that new sound of yours and make 102 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: sure that there's no other Tasmanian devils nearby. And I 103 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: will see you on our next adventure. Bye.
