Emergency! Emergency! Seal sounds the alarm at Bae Ceredigion in Wales, after a little boy loses his honorary Wildlifer badge in the sea and is desperate to get it back.
Ranger Rae, Roxy, Beaver and Deer are on the case, but no-one has quite the right skills for the underwater quest.
Luckily someone at the bay can help. Luca is an inventor extraordinaire and somewhere among his gadgets, could there be just the thing to help the Wildlifers?
The crew get help from the local animals and old friend Basking Shark. But can Beaver outwit a stubborn Sea Sponge to save the day?

SEAL (00:02):
Ah, Bae Ceredigion, Cardigan Bay, you just can't
beat a bit of wonderful Welshwildlife. And I'm really
swimming in it here. Surroundedby dolphins, lobsters,
seahorses, jellyfish, maybe evena shark or two.
(00:25):
Feels like I'm forgettingsomeone.
Oh yeah, I forgot about myself.The Seal.
Ah, it's another boat tour.
I do like seeing those happyhumans out enjoying themselves.
Except when they keep makingSeal puns.
(00:48):
You really sealed the deal whenyou fed that Seal. You've got
their Seal of approval now.
Why do they find words thatsound like other words so funny?
I'll never understand.
What's this? That small humandoesn't sound so happy. I wonder
(01:11):
what's happened.
Let's swim a bit closer and seeif I can hear anything.
MAX (01:18):
I was helping my brother with his latest invention and
dropped my honorary wildliferbadge in the sea. I worked so
hard to get it.
SEAL (01:32):
Oh no, not a lost wildlifer badge. I'd be
distraught if I'd lost one ofthose. Luckily, I know exactly
who to call to save the day.Awoooo!
THEME TUNE VOICEOVER (01:48):
Across the many majestic wild spaces of the
United Kingdom, from woods,wetlands, to mountain and heath,
whenever help is needed, oneRanger and her animal friends
always answer the call.
SINGERS (02:03):
It's Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers.
RANGER RAE (02:06):
I can talk to animals. It's a Ranger's dream.
SINGERS (02:09):
It's Ranger Ray and the Wildlifers.
RANGER RAE (02:13):
Say hello to my animal team.
SINGERS (02:16):
With Deer and Fox and Wildcat. Mole and Dragonfly and
Beaver and Bat.
BEAVER (02:22):
Sound the alarm and we'll come running to you
DEER (02:25):
With our animal powers we'll know what to do
SINGERS (02:29):
It's Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers.
SEAL (02:34):
It'll probably take them a while to get here. Maybe I'll
have time for a nice nap on myfavourite rock.
RANGER RAE (02:46):
Did someone call for Ranger Rae?
I'm here with Beaver and Deer...
ROXY (02:50):
And Roxy!
To save the day!
SEAL (02:53):
Wow! You really got here in super speedy fashion!
BEAVER (02:57):
Well, that's what you get when you request the help of
me, Super Beaver!
DEER (03:00):
Ahem. I believe I did most of the super speedy stuff.
Pleased to meet you, Seal. Myname is Deer.
ROXY (03:09):
Now that we've introduced ourselves...
SEAL (03:11):
Oh! So you're Roxy, the new Ranger? I've heard so much
about you. Is it true you canunderstand animals too?
ROXY (03:20):
No, I'm afraid not. I can't understand a word you're
saying.
SEAL (03:24):
Oh, that's a pity.
ROXY (03:26):
It is. It really, really is.
SEAL (03:30):
Wait a minute. If you can't understand animals, how
did you understand me asking youif you could understand animals?
ROXY (03:38):
That joke works every time.
BEAVER (03:40):
Hey, Seal, so you've heard of us, is that right?
SEAL (03:43):
Yeah, sure have.
BEAVER (03:45):
And you like the work we do?
SEAL (03:47):
Like? I love the work you do. You're the Wildlifers.
Everybody loves the work you do.
BEAVER (03:54):
So you could say we've got your Seal of...
SEAL (03:57):
Please don't say Seal of approval.
BEAVER (03:59):
Oh, well, why not?
SEAL (04:01):
Do you have any idea how many times I've had to listen to
humans make that joke? I am sotired of it. All of us seals
are, in fact. If I hear one moreSeal pun, I think I'm going to
flip out.
RANGER RAE (04:16):
You mean flip her out?
SEAL (04:18):
Oh.
RANGER RAE (04:18):
So, Seal, what do you need our help with?
SEAL (04:21):
A young lad on one of the boats dropped his honorary
wildlife badge in the sea.
ROXY (04:26):
Oh no! He'll be so upset. When I was an honorary
Wildlifer, that badge meanteverything to me.
RANGER RAE (04:33):
And where did he drop it, exactly?
SEAL (04:35):
That's the thing. None of us saw where he dropped it, so
it could be anywhere, really.
RANGER RAE (04:41):
We'll have to ask about. Seal, do you know any
local animals who might be ableto help?
SEAL (04:47):
Lobster might be able to tell us where the badge fell in.
Only one teeny problem, though.
BEAVER (04:54):
What's that?
SEAL (04:55):
Lobster has no vocal cords, so it'll be tricky
getting any words out of them.They can do sign language with
their claws though.
ROXY (05:05):
I know how to read sign language.
SEAL (05:07):
Then why didn't you say so? Let's go liaise with
Lobster.
BEAVER (05:11):
Roxy, what's Lobster saying?
ROXY (05:17):
Lobster says that they were out for their morning walk
along the seabed when suddenlythey got their leg caught under
a rock.
BEAVER (05:25):
Oh no.
SEAL (05:26):
Don't worry, it happens all the time.
ROXY (05:29):
So while Lobster was trying to pull themselves free,
they saw something shiny land inthe sand a few metres away.
RANGER RAE (05:35):
That must be the wildlifer badge.
ROXY (05:37):
Lobster didn't know what it was at the time, but says it
probably was the badge alright.
BEAVER (05:41):
But how did they get free from the rock?
ROXY (05:44):
Lobster says that after struggling for a while, they
simply detached their leg andswam to the surface.
BEAVER (05:51):
Detach their leg? Oh my!
SEAL (05:54):
Don't worry, happens all the time.
DEER (05:56):
Are you really saying that lobsters detach their own legs
all the time?
SEAL (06:04):
No, of course not. They can detach their claws and tails
too.
BEAVER (06:10):
But what happens then?
ROXY (06:12):
Lobster says that after they detach a leg, or a claw, or
any limb, they just grow oneback.
BEAVER (06:19):
Grow their leg back?
SEAL (06:22):
Don't worry, happens all the time.
BEAVER (06:25):
But that's like a superpower. Any animal that can
grow a body part like thatshould be leader of the wildlife
is for sure.
DEER (06:32):
I don't suppose you've noticed my antlers growing back
on a regular basis?
BEAVER (06:38):
Oh, yeah. Never mind all that any animal that can grow a
body part like that should bethe leader of the wildlifer
talk, Deer. I was just joking.
DEER (06:48):
I'm sure you were.
RANGER RAE (06:50):
Come on, gang. Let's go see if we can find this
badge.
DEER (06:53):
But how? I can hardly be your transport underwater. Now
can I?
ROXY (06:59):
That's a good point, dear.
SEAL (07:00):
Hold on. Humans ride horses, don't they?
ROXY (07:04):
Yep.
SEAL (07:06):
Just as I thought. I know someone who might be able to
help.
SEAHORSE (07:14):
Ah, I appreciate you coming to me, Seal, but I'm
afraid I'm not that kind ofhorse. I'm a seahorse, you see.
SEAL (07:21):
I see.
So what's the difference betweena seahorse and a regular horse?
SEAHORSE (07:26):
Well, let's see. Your standard land horse is about six
feet tall, whereas I'm 25centimetres.
SEAL (07:33):
Of course.
SEAHORSE (07:35):
And there's the fact that land horses live on land,
and we seahorses live in thesea.
SEAL (07:42):
Fair enough. Just an idea.
SEAHORSE (07:44):
Thanks for thinking of me anyway.
RANGER RAE (07:47):
Who else do we know who could swim down here? They
would need super swimmingskills.
BEAVER (07:53):
Well, who could you possibly be talking about?
ROXY (07:55):
And they'd have to be able to hold their breath for a super
long time.
BEAVER (07:59):
Does 15 minutes sound like a super enough time for
you?
RANGER RAE (08:03):
And... Finally.
BEAVER (08:05):
I think we all know you're looking for the
assistance of Super...
RANGER RAE (08:09):
They would need super eyesight to find the
badge.
BEAVER (08:16):
Ah, well, I can't help you there. Us beavers aren't
blessed with the best eyesight.
LUCA (08:20):
Excuse me. Are you Ranger Rae and Ranger Roxy?
ROXY (08:25):
That's us. How can we help you? My name is Luca. And this
is my little brother, Max.
LUCA (08:34):
He dropped his honorary Wildlifer badge in the sea
earlier, when he was helping mewith my latest invention.
BEAVER (08:40):
Ooh, what sort of things do you invent? Anything that
could help us out?
LUCA (08:45):
Well, let's see.
Here's a device that can tellyou what sort of mood you're in.
Let's try it on Beaver.
BEAVER (08:57):
I guess I am a little cranky about the eyesight thing.
LUCA (09:01):
Here's a scanner that can tell you if something is a land
horse or a seahorse.
SCANNER (09:06):
Scanning. Scanning. Scanning. Seahorse detected.
DEER (09:12):
Wow, it works.
LUCA (09:14):
Ah, here's what I was looking for. These underwater
goggles help enhance theeyesight of anyone who wears
them.
BEAVER (09:22):
With goggles like these, I'll be unstoppable. Hey, check
my mood now.
ROXY (09:28):
Wow, and you've invented these all by yourself?
LUCA (09:31):
Yep. I love taking gadgets and gizmos apart and then
putting them back together. It'sthe best way to learn how to
invent stuff.
RANGER RAE (09:39):
Well, you might be a handy friend to have around on
our adventures. So what do yousay, Beaver? Are you ready to...
Beaver?
Beaver, where did they go?
ROXY (09:50):
Already gone to save the day by the sound of things.
BEAVER (09:55):
Woohoo! Look at me go! I'm Super Beaver with
Supervision! That Luca is agreat inventor. Now, to look for
that badge.
It really is very nice aroundhere. Such a lovely, safe,
pleasant view.
Uh-oh. What's that swimmingtowards me?
(10:16):
Didn't Seal say there weresharks around here earlier? Oh
no. Oh, and it's swimming righttowards me.
BASKING SHARK (10:26):
Hello, Beaver. How are you?
BEAVER (10:30):
Ah, Basking Shark. So good to see you. I'm doing
great. I'm looking for a badge apoor human child lost earlier.
BASKING SHARK (10:38):
And what sort of goggles are you wearing?
BEAVER (10:42):
An inventor named Luca invented them. They help me see
better underwater.
BASKING SHARK (10:47):
Ooh.
Well, good luck with that. I'dlove to help, but I'm too busy
stuffing my big basking bellywith plankton.
BEAVER (11:02):
Enjoy!
Now, let's turn the power up onthese goggles and see if I can
spot that badge.
Aha! I think I see somethingshiny over there. Let's see,
let's see, let's see.
It is the badge! Super Beaverhas saved the day once again.
And now, just to pick it upand...
SEA SPONGE (11:23):
Hey, that's my badge. Back off.
BEAVER (11:26):
Who are you? What are you?
SEA SPONGE (11:28):
Haven't you ever seen a sea sponge before?
BEAVER (11:30):
No.
SEA SPONGE (11:31):
Well, now you have.
BEAVER (11:33):
So, you're just sort of like a sponge, but in the sea?
SEA SPONGE (11:38):
Just sort of like a sponge? Listen, mate, why don't
you leave me and my badge alone?
BEAVER (11:43):
But you don't understand. That badge belongs
to a boy on the land, and he'svery upset.
SEA SPONGE (11:48):
It's my badge. It landed on my head, just like the
rest of my treasures.
BEAVER (11:54):
Treasures?
SEA SPONGE (11:55):
All sorts of treasures land beside me, like
this thing here. I bet it was ascepter belonging to the king of
the lost city of Atlantis.
BEAVER (12:02):
That's a spoon.
SEA SPONGE (12:03):
You leave my treasures alone. I'm not giving
up this honorary Wildlifer badgefor nothing.
BEAVER (12:08):
What if I could get you a real, full Wildlifer badge?
SEA SPONGE (12:13):
How could you do that?
BEAVER (12:14):
Because I'm Super Beaver, the Wildlifer.
SEA SPONGE (12:17):
Really? I should have known when I saw you doing
such super speedy swimming.
BEAVER (12:21):
Aw, shucks, thank you.
SEA SPONGE (12:22):
In that case, you can have the badge.
BEAVER (12:24):
Thank you so much. You've made a young boy very
happy.
SEA SPONGE (12:28):
But I want that full Wildlifer badge. I'm basically a
member of the team now, aren'tI?
BEAVER (12:33):
Yeah, I suppose you are.
SEA SPONGE (12:35):
Wahoo! Sea Sponge The Wildlifer, here to help
anybody who needs, well, itmight be tricky to help anyone,
actually, because the thing is,I can't move.
BEAVER (12:45):
Oh, right. Well, we'll have to come back to that.
SEA SPONGE (12:49):
I have to get this badge back to its owner.
BEAVER (12:51):
Super Beaver, away!
LUCA (12:57):
And then I also invented this hammer that squirts a
little bit of perfume out everytime you hammer a nail.
RANGER RAE (13:04):
Wow, that's amazing.
ROXY (13:09):
Don't worry. We'll have your badge back soon.
BEAVER (13:13):
Superbeaver's back with a badge!
ROXY (13:15):
Beaver! You did it! My badge!
RANGER RAE (13:18):
Jolly good show, Beaver.
LUCA (13:19):
Did my invention help?
BEAVER (13:21):
It sure did. I couldn't have done it without your help.
Well, I mean, maybe I couldhave, but it would have been
very close.
RANGER RAE (13:27):
Thanks so much for your help, Luca. I'm sure we'll
see you again soon. You justnever know when we'll need a new
invention.
LUCA (13:34):
Thank you for finding my little brother's badge. He'll be
able to enjoy the rest of thetrip now.
RANGER RAE (13:39):
Now, should we get moving?
SEAL (13:42):
Oh, you have to go?
RANGER RAE (13:44):
Unless there's any unfinished business, I think we
should.
SEAL (13:47):
It was so nice meeting you all. I can't wait to tell
everybody I saw the Wildlifersin action.
BEAVER (13:54):
Oh, that reminds me. I sort of promised someone a
wildlifer badge.
RANGER RAE (13:59):
You mean an honorary wildlifer badge?
BEAVER (14:02):
Nope, that wasn't going to do it. We'll need a full one.
ROXY (14:06):
Who's it for?
SPK_13 (14:08):
A sponge.
ALL (14:09):
A sponge?
BEAVER (14:10):
A sea sponge. Really helped me out down there, so I
said they could join the team.They can't move or anything, so
I guess we just fill them in onour adventures every now and
again.
RANGER RAE (14:21):
All right, Beaver, but next time let's try to solve
our problems without handing outany new wildlifer badges. Now,
anyone for a swim before we go?
ROXY (14:31):
Uh-oh, what's that?
DEER (14:33):
It's swimming right this way.
BEAVER (14:35):
Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the
water...
BASKING SHARK (14:39):
Hello everybody!
RANGER RAE (14:40):
It's just Basking Shark!
BASKING SHARK (14:42):
That's right, it's just me! Hooray!
RANGER RAE (14:50):
But it sounds like another animal needs our help!
ROXY (14:53):
Come on, Wildlifeers, time to go!
SINGERS (14:55):
It's Ranger Ray and the Wildlifers!
Ah, Bae Ceredigion, Cardigan Bay, you just can't

swimming in it here. Surroundedby dolphins, lobsters,

Lobster says that after struggling for a while, they
simply detached their leg andswam to the surface.
BEAVER (05:51):
Detach their leg? Oh my!
SEAL (05:54):
Don't worry, happens all the time.
DEER (05:56):
Are you really saying that lobsters detach their own legs
all the time?
SEAL (06:04):
No, of course not. They can detach their claws and tails
too.
BEAVER (06:10):
But what happens then?
ROXY (06:12):
Lobster says that after they detach a leg, or a claw, or
any limb, they just grow oneback.
BEAVER (06:19):
Grow their leg back?
SEAL (06:22):
Don't worry, happens all the time.
BEAVER (06:25):
But that's like a superpower. Any animal that can
grow a body part like thatshould be leader of the wildlife
is for sure.
DEER (06:32):
I don't suppose you've noticed my antlers growing back
on a regular basis?
BEAVER (06:38):
Oh, yeah. Never mind all that any animal that can grow a
body part like that should bethe leader of the wildlifer
talk, Deer. I was just joking.
DEER (06:48):
I'm sure you were.
RANGER RAE (06:50):
Come on, gang. Let's go see if we can find this
badge.
DEER (06:53):
But how? I can hardly be your transport underwater. Now
can I?
ROXY (06:59):
That's a good point, dear.
SEAL (07:00):
Hold on. Humans ride horses, don't they?
ROXY (07:04):
Yep.
SEAL (07:06):
Just as I thought. I know someone who might be able to
help.
SEAHORSE (07:14):
Ah, I appreciate you coming to me, Seal, but I'm
afraid I'm not that kind ofhorse. I'm a seahorse, you see.
SEAL (07:21):
I see.
So what's the difference betweena seahorse and a regular horse?
SEAHORSE (07:26):
Well, let's see. Your standard land horse is about six
feet tall, whereas I'm 25centimetres.
SEAL (07:33):
Of course.
SEAHORSE (07:35):
And there's the fact that land horses live on land,
and we seahorses live in thesea.
SEAL (07:42):
Fair enough. Just an idea.
SEAHORSE (07:44):
Thanks for thinking of me anyway.
RANGER RAE (07:47):
Who else do we know who could swim down here? They
would need super swimmingskills.
BEAVER (07:53):
Well, who could you possibly be talking about?
ROXY (07:55):
And they'd have to be able to hold their breath for a super
long time.
BEAVER (07:59):
Does 15 minutes sound like a super enough time for
you?
RANGER RAE (08:03):
And... Finally.
BEAVER (08:05):
I think we all know you're looking for the
assistance of Super...
RANGER RAE (08:09):
They would need super eyesight to find the
badge.
BEAVER (08:16):
Ah, well, I can't help you there. Us beavers aren't
blessed with the best eyesight.
LUCA (08:20):
Excuse me. Are you Ranger Rae and Ranger Roxy?
ROXY (08:25):
That's us. How can we help you? My name is Luca. And this
is my little brother, Max.
LUCA (08:34):
He dropped his honorary Wildlifer badge in the sea
earlier, when he was helping mewith my latest invention.
BEAVER (08:40):
Ooh, what sort of things do you invent? Anything that
could help us out?
LUCA (08:45):
Well, let's see.
Here's a device that can tellyou what sort of mood you're in.
Let's try it on Beaver.
BEAVER (08:57):
I guess I am a little cranky about the eyesight thing.
LUCA (09:01):
Here's a scanner that can tell you if something is a land
horse or a seahorse.
SCANNER (09:06):
Scanning. Scanning. Scanning. Seahorse detected.
DEER (09:12):
Wow, it works.
LUCA (09:14):
Ah, here's what I was looking for. These underwater
goggles help enhance theeyesight of anyone who wears
them.
BEAVER (09:22):
With goggles like these, I'll be unstoppable. Hey, check
my mood now.
ROXY (09:28):
Wow, and you've invented these all by yourself?
LUCA (09:31):
Yep. I love taking gadgets and gizmos apart and then
putting them back together. It'sthe best way to learn how to
invent stuff.
RANGER RAE (09:39):
Well, you might be a handy friend to have around on
our adventures. So what do yousay, Beaver? Are you ready to...
Beaver?
Beaver, where did they go?
ROXY (09:50):
Already gone to save the day by the sound of things.
BEAVER (09:55):
Woohoo! Look at me go! I'm Super Beaver with
Supervision! That Luca is agreat inventor. Now, to look for
that badge.
It really is very nice aroundhere. Such a lovely, safe,
pleasant view.
Uh-oh. What's that swimmingtowards me?
(10:16):
Didn't Seal say there weresharks around here earlier? Oh
no. Oh, and it's swimming righttowards me.
BASKING SHARK (10:26):
Hello, Beaver. How are you?
BEAVER (10:30):
Ah, Basking Shark. So good to see you. I'm doing
great. I'm looking for a badge apoor human child lost earlier.
BASKING SHARK (10:38):
And what sort of goggles are you wearing?
BEAVER (10:42):
An inventor named Luca invented them. They help me see
better underwater.
BASKING SHARK (10:47):
Ooh.
Well, good luck with that. I'dlove to help, but I'm too busy
stuffing my big basking bellywith plankton.
BEAVER (11:02):
Enjoy!
Now, let's turn the power up onthese goggles and see if I can
spot that badge.
Aha! I think I see somethingshiny over there. Let's see,
let's see, let's see.
It is the badge! Super Beaverhas saved the day once again.
And now, just to pick it upand...
SEA SPONGE (11:23):
Hey, that's my badge. Back off.
BEAVER (11:26):
Who are you? What are you?
SEA SPONGE (11:28):
Haven't you ever seen a sea sponge before?
BEAVER (11:30):
No.
SEA SPONGE (11:31):
Well, now you have.
BEAVER (11:33):
So, you're just sort of like a sponge, but in the sea?
SEA SPONGE (11:38):
Just sort of like a sponge? Listen, mate, why don't
you leave me and my badge alone?
BEAVER (11:43):
But you don't understand. That badge belongs
to a boy on the land, and he'svery upset.
SEA SPONGE (11:48):
It's my badge. It landed on my head, just like the
rest of my treasures.
BEAVER (11:54):
Treasures?
SEA SPONGE (11:55):
All sorts of treasures land beside me, like
this thing here. I bet it was ascepter belonging to the king of
the lost city of Atlantis.
BEAVER (12:02):
That's a spoon.
SEA SPONGE (12:03):
You leave my treasures alone. I'm not giving
up this honorary Wildlifer badgefor nothing.
BEAVER (12:08):
What if I could get you a real, full Wildlifer badge?
SEA SPONGE (12:13):
How could you do that?
BEAVER (12:14):
Because I'm Super Beaver, the Wildlifer.
SEA SPONGE (12:17):
Really? I should have known when I saw you doing
such super speedy swimming.
BEAVER (12:21):
Aw, shucks, thank you.
SEA SPONGE (12:22):
In that case, you can have the badge.
BEAVER (12:24):
Thank you so much. You've made a young boy very
happy.
SEA SPONGE (12:28):
But I want that full Wildlifer badge. I'm basically a
member of the team now, aren'tI?
BEAVER (12:33):
Yeah, I suppose you are.
SEA SPONGE (12:35):
Wahoo! Sea Sponge The Wildlifer, here to help
anybody who needs, well, itmight be tricky to help anyone,
actually, because the thing is,I can't move.
BEAVER (12:45):
Oh, right. Well, we'll have to come back to that.
SEA SPONGE (12:49):
I have to get this badge back to its owner.
BEAVER (12:51):
Super Beaver, away!
LUCA (12:57):
And then I also invented this hammer that squirts a
little bit of perfume out everytime you hammer a nail.
RANGER RAE (13:04):
Wow, that's amazing.
ROXY (13:09):
Don't worry. We'll have your badge back soon.
BEAVER (13:13):
Superbeaver's back with a badge!
ROXY (13:15):
Beaver! You did it! My badge!
RANGER RAE (13:18):
Jolly good show, Beaver.
LUCA (13:19):
Did my invention help?
BEAVER (13:21):
It sure did. I couldn't have done it without your help.
Well, I mean, maybe I couldhave, but it would have been
very close.
RANGER RAE (13:27):
Thanks so much for your help, Luca. I'm sure we'll
see you again soon. You justnever know when we'll need a new
invention.
LUCA (13:34):
Thank you for finding my little brother's badge. He'll be
able to enjoy the rest of thetrip now.
RANGER RAE (13:39):
Now, should we get moving?
SEAL (13:42):
Oh, you have to go?
RANGER RAE (13:44):
Unless there's any unfinished business, I think we
should.
SEAL (13:47):
It was so nice meeting you all. I can't wait to tell
everybody I saw the Wildlifersin action.
BEAVER (13:54):
Oh, that reminds me. I sort of promised someone a
wildlifer badge.
RANGER RAE (13:59):
You mean an honorary wildlifer badge?
BEAVER (14:02):
Nope, that wasn't going to do it. We'll need a full one.
ROXY (14:06):
Who's it for?
SPK_13 (14:08):
A sponge.
ALL (14:09):
A sponge?
BEAVER (14:10):
A sea sponge. Really helped me out down there, so I
said they could join the team.They can't move or anything, so
I guess we just fill them in onour adventures every now and
again.
RANGER RAE (14:21):
All right, Beaver, but next time let's try to solve
our problems without handing outany new wildlifer badges. Now,
anyone for a swim before we go?
ROXY (14:31):
Uh-oh, what's that?
DEER (14:33):
It's swimming right this way.
BEAVER (14:35):
Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the
water...
BASKING SHARK (14:39):
Hello everybody!
RANGER RAE (14:40):
It's just Basking Shark!
BASKING SHARK (14:42):
That's right, it's just me! Hooray!
RANGER RAE (14:50):
But it sounds like another animal needs our help!
ROXY (14:53):
Come on, Wildlifeers, time to go!
SINGERS (14:55):
It's Ranger Ray and the Wildlifers!
