best friend Mika. Nice to meet you. It's nice to
meet you too. I'm Isabella Cavna. What are you doing
in this cave? Isabella? I'm as foloker. Do you know
what that is? Yeah? That's the sound of rock makes
when you throw it in the water like this.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Yes, it did sort of goesplong, Blippy, But a splunker
is also a person who explores caves like me.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
This cave was formed by the.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
River slowly carving away the rock over millions of years.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Look, here's a map of the whole cave.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oohoo. I love maps, and I have all kinds of
maps here in my jampack.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Look.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, maps are great.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Look here deep in the cave is this huge underground
Grand Chamber.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It's amazing. I wish you could see it, but you
can't get to it right now. Why not?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
The river is too high, so the only way to
reach it is by going underwater. Well that's no problemental
when you have the bloble. Oh great, Here, take my
map and take this walkie talkie so we can communicate
along the way.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Thanks Isabella. I'm gonna need the propeller and duck feet propeller,

all white. Why don't they have any color?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Without a flashlights and the brickomobiles headlights is completely dark
in here. There's nothing to see, so they have no
need for colors.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
If they can't see, how do they know where they're going?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Great question.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
The crabs get around by feeling their way and the
fish follow.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Or no, they use their other senses. So cool, Blippy.
According to the map, we should be in the Grand
Chamber to the surface gooey up. Whow This place is huge.
(07:24):
It feels like we're in a giant theater. And listen.

and come back to their ears. That way they can
hear where the walls are even though they can't see them.

use their ears, the fish follow their noses, and the
crabs feel.
