Speaker 1: things ready to go? Said Sophie. Sophie and shall Bey.

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: We're going on a very important mission to the desert.

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: You see, there were some creatures that lived in the

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: desert that they needed to do a research project on.

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: And do you know what the creature was? Desert penguins. Yes,

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: I know that sounds kind of silly. Desert penguins. Penguins

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: are supposed to live in the cold, right. Well, they

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: were given a special mission because there was believed to

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: be a new species of penguins that lived in the desert,

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: and it was up to them to go discover this

24
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: new creature. All right, yeah, I'm already, Sophie, let's go.

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: Sophie and Chavy strapped on their jet packs and blasted off.

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: They had a long ride to get all the way

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: to this desert. What is a desert made of Is

28
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: it very wet or very dry? Dry? Yes, you're right.

29
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: And is it full of sand or is it full

30
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: of grass sand? Yes, you're right. The desert is a

31
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: very dry place and there's lots of creatures that like

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: to live there. Um, let's see, scorpions like to live

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: in the desert, and all kinds of lizards and snakes,

34
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: and also lots of different mammals live in the desert too.

35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: It's a very fun place to explore and all the creatures,

36
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: most of them, they don't come out until it's nighttime,

37
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: and so they sleep during the day when it's super

38
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: duper hot, and then they come out to explore and

39
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: find water and food during the nighttime. Do you know

40
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: what that's called. Yeah, it's called nocturnal. Nocturnal That means

41
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: that they sleep during the day and they come out

42
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: at night. Can you think of an animal that's nocturnal. Oh,

43
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: maybe owls or bats? Yeah, those are good ones. Hey, Shabby,

44
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: are you do you see that any place where we

45
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: can land? Sophie and Shabby, we're getting closer to this

46
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: desert and they had brought their sandskipper, which was kind

47
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: of like a sand buggy car that they could drive

48
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: through the desert. This was gonna be really helpful so

49
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: that they could explore the desert a lot faster. When

50
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: they landed, they jumped in their sandskipper and off they zoomed.

51
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: It was very fast in the sand. It had big

52
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: tires and a roof, and it wasn't closing. It didn't

53
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: have any doors or windows, but they had because they

54
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: had to wear goggles to protect their eyes from the

55
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: sand that might blow. And it was starting to get

56
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: very windy. Uh, Sophie, Uh, I feel like there's like

57
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: a sandstorm coming. It's getting really windy. I can barely

58
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: see in front of our sandskipper. Yeah. Um, maybe we

59
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: should pull over and maybe make a shelter because I yeah,

60
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: this doesn't look safe. Sophie and shall be pulled over

61
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: their sandskipper and hopped out. They had to make an

62
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: emergency shelter. Sandstorms happened when it gets really windy in

63
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: the desert, and all of a sudden, that sand gets everywhere.

64
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: They popped up their tent and climbed inside as the

65
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 1: wind howled. Outside of the tent, Sophie and Schavy began

66
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 1: to research more about all the clues that their team

67
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: had accumulated about the desert penguins. Hey, uh, Chavy, do

68
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: you see anywhere that says like what the desert penguins

69
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: like to eat? M hmm, I think I saw that somewhere.

70
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right here it since they eat cactus. Whoa,

71
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: that's very interesting. I wonder how they eat the cactus

72
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: without getting all those pokey things in their mouth. The

73
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: wind began and continued to get stronger and stronger, and

74
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: so they had to hold on tight so that the

75
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: tent wouldn't fly away. And all of a sudden, just

76
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: as quickly as it had came, it immediately stopped. The

77
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: sandstorm was over. They walked outside and wow, the sand

78
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: had gotten everywhere. And wait a second, where the sand skipper, Go,

79
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: cried Sophie, the sand skipper. He's gone. It must have

80
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: been blown away. Sophie and Chavi are now stuck in

81
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: the desert dune. Dune, dun, What are they gonna do?

82
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: It was starting to get dark, and they turned on

83
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: all their flashlights in their headlamps so that they could

84
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: keep searching for the sandskipper. When all of a sudden,

85
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: they heard a sound. Hollow. Hi, What's who is that? Hi?

86
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: Down here? Huh, Holy smokes, it's a desert penguin. Hi,

87
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: we're here looking for you. Actually? Oh? Really, well, it's

Speaker 1: you like to meet the rest of my family? That

90
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: would be awesome. Chavy couldn't believe his eyes. Sophie and

91
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: Chavi followed their new friend, Dale the desert Penguin all

92
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: the way back to his desert home, and they met

93
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: the entire family. Wow, it's so great to meet you guys. Oh,

94
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: come on in, we're just sitting down for some do election.

Speaker 1: That's dinner fried cactus. Mmm? I'm um, you guys really

96
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: do eat cactus? Okay, I have to understand. How do

97
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: you do that? Sophie said, Oh, it's easy. First at burnoff,

98
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: oh the needles on the cactus, and then we cook

99
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: it and get it. It's delicious. I have to try this.

100
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: Sophie and Chavy grabbed a big bowl of these this

101
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: cactus and wow, it was delicious. They had never tried

102
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: something that tasted so good before. The Desert Penguins were

103
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: very kind to them. They said, Wow, since it's getting dark,

104
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: we actually have very good night vision and we could

00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: The whole Desert Penguin family help them the rest of

110

112
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: for the Desert penguins to find this missing sand skipper

113
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: because they had amazing night vision. Do you know what

114
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: it means to have good night vision? Yeah, it means

115

Speaker 1: know that desert penguins were so helpful, And Sophie and

124
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: Schavi had another amazing successful mission. And it wouldn't have

125

Speaker 1: been so successful without the help of some friendly desert penguins.

126
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:14,839
