Speaker 1 (04:37):
Not yet, but we'd love to see some.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Well, if it's elephants you're looking for, you're in luck.
Finding elephants is what I do best. Him Barasamkura, lead
Elephant Biologists of the Wildlife Result, there's a family with
a new baby that I'm studying.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Hi Brassa, Amiga, nice to meet you, and this is
my best friend Flippy.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Hey, Marassa, can we help you find the elephants?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Sure, it seems.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Like your good animal finders, since you've already found some lions.
They're hard to spot because of their camouflage.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Whoo. What's that?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Camouflage is how animals blend into their surroundings, like the
way the lions called fair blends in with the cold
color of the glasses.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Oh, they do blend in. That's awesome, Brassa. How do
the lions stay cool when it's a.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Hot day like this, Well, during the hottest part of
the day, like right now, they usually stay in this shade.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
We like to be in the shade on hot days too.
It helps us stay cool.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I'm going to another place the animals keep cool and
actually the elephants may be there.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Woo, can we come too? Sure?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Just know that on this wildlife reserve we don't want
to disturb the natural habitat, so there are no paid
roads and that means bumps.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Follow me, blippy.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
This road is really blippy and it makes your voice
sound funny.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I'm gonna need a TV mode. A TV mode confirmed.
The Blippy mobile is ready for a smoother adventure.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
See here.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
This river is a major gathering spot for all sorts
of animals, especially when it's hot and they need to
drink some water.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Wow, there are lots of animals here making lots of sounds. Hey,
I know the perfect game we can play. What's that sound? Yeah?
Do you want to play? Awesome? What's that sound? Follow

your ears? What do you hear? A splash or even
a raw listen all around for the sounds today. Okay,
let's listen. WHOA, that sounds like something slushing around in
the mud. Oh yeah, Look it's a hippo. It's totally
(07:30):
covered in mud, and.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
It looks pretty happy about it too. All that mud
keeps a hippo nice and cool.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
What do you hear? That is awesome? Whoa marassa? Why
is the ground shaking?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
A shaking like this can only mean one team. There
must be an approaching herd. Of here they come, and
it looks like a family I've been looking for.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Whoa? So cool? We're surrounded by elephants. They're running right
for the river and animal.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Is beacing heavy as an elephant.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
It's very hot running around in the sun, so to
keep cool they splash around in the water.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Look it's a sweet baby elephant sitting alone in the grass.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Oh no, it doesn't look very happy.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Oh oh the baby is too hot and tired to
take the last few steps to the cool river with
its family.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Look the grown up elephants noticed it.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Ah, yes, wat's what they do now.

Can you tell me? I learned that some animals, like lions,
use camouflage to blend into their surroundings and hide.

lying in the shade, taking mudbaths, or splashing in the.
