The Animal Show- Kookaburra and Tasmanian Devil Part 2

 Jake: And now, let’s see what’s cooking in the kitchen with Yves St. La Roche.

Stinky: Can I put my ear plugs back in?

Jake: Yes, but make sure Yves doesn’t see you.

(cuts to Yves in his kitchen)

Yves: Bonjour, bonjour little animals out there! Today, in honor of our Australian guests, we’ll be making what humans call fairy bread. You need bread, margarine, and lots of sprinkles. First, we get a loaf of white bread. (places a loaf of white bread on the table). Then, you cover the slices of bread with either butter or margarine. (grabs the slices of bread and covers them with margarine) Next, cover the bread with lots and lots of sprinkles! (grabs a jar of sprinkles and pours it on the bread, covering the counter with sprinkles) And finally, cut the bread into small triangles, but where is the bread? Lawrence! (Lawrence the Orangutan comes by and searches through the sprinkles to find the bread)

Lawrence: Here it is! (pulls out the fairy bread) Want me to cut it for you?

Yves: No. I’ll do it myself, but you can clean up the mess.

(cuts back to Stinky and Jake)

Jake: And now, all the way from Tasmania…

Stinky: Tanzania.

Jake: Please welcome Lucifer the Tasmanian Devil!

Lucier: Hi, Jake! Why does Stinky have his ears plugged?

Jake: He doesn’t want his eardrums to pop.

Lucifer: Are you referring to our growls, screams, screeches, and coughs? We only use that to scare off predators and other devils, so Stinky can take his earplugs out.

Stinky (taking out ear plugs): And you won’t eat me?

Lucifer: Of course, not! I’ve been watching your show for years, and I never saw you flinch upon seeing lions, tigers, wolves, or crocs.

Stinky: Good point.

Jake: Lucifer, do you have any Tasmanian devil clips you could show us?

Lucifer: Do I ever!

Even though we’re called devils, have super strong bites, and love to eat meat, we Tasmanian devils are shy creatures who prefer to live alone or with families. Besides, how could you say no to a face like this?

Jake: That must be a joey.

Stinky: That Tasmanian devil is named Joey?

Lucifer: No, that’s just what we call our babies. We may not look like it, but Tasmanian devils are marsupials like kangaroos and koalas.

Jake: And the Tasmanian tiger?

Lucifer: Yes, before they disappeared 60 years ago.

Stinky: Are Tasmanian devils endangered?

Lucifer: Unfortunately, yes. Along with a disease that killed thousands of devils, humans poisoned and killed us many years ago to near extinction, but we’ve been a protected species since 1941. (Yves comes over with plates of fairy bread and places them on the counter)

Yves: Bonjour, everyone! Here’s fairy bread, in honor of our Australian guests.

Lucifer: I never had fairy bread. Can I have a taste?

Yves: Bon appétit! (Yves gives a piece to Lucifer, and his eyes grew huge)

Lucifer: This is delicious. It makes me want to sting!

Jake: And now, here’s Lucifer the Tasmanian Devil singing ‘Sweet Little Treat’.

Lucifer: When I’m feeling sort of down

When I’m feeling cross

Adored, bored, or just ignored

Or scared of kind of lost

It can happen any time

Anywhere, I guess!

I hear a voice inside my head

And this is what is says

‘You need a sweet sweet sweet little treat!’

Something fun to nibble

To make your stomach giggle

Sweet sweet sweet little treat!

A delicious little tidbit

A yummy snack to eat!

If your heart is in the dumps

Or if you’re feeling hurt

Don’t feel blue when dinner’s through

Remember there’s dessert!

And if the day seems gloomy

Not going like it should

A tiny bite of sweet delight

Will do a world of good!

Something fun to nibble

To make your stomach giggle

Sweet sweet sweet little treat!

Something swell to munch on

Chew, crunch, or suck on

Have just one or even a bunch

Of gooey sticky treats to eat!

Bunnie: And now, the Animal Awards! Today, the Award for the Loudest Animal. Could it be… the sperm whale?

Armstrong: The kakapo? Hubba hubba.

Bunnie: The pistol shrimp?

Armstrong: Or the cicada?

Bunnie: And the winner is… the sperm whale, which can create codas as loud as 230 decibels!

Armstrong: I hope we never have a sperm whale as a guest.

Bunnie: We could, but it would have to be outside.

(cuts back to Stinky and Jake)

Jake: And now, it’s time for a story. This one is about a kookaburra. “Once upon a time, there was a laughing kookaburra named Boomer. Despite his name, Boomer was quiet for a kookaburra. This was because he was shy and gloomy. One day, a spangled kookaburra named Melba noticed this. ‘Why are you so quiet?’ Melba asked. ‘I’m shy and gloomy.’ Answered Boomer. ‘Who would want that kind of bird as a friend?’ ‘I would!’ Replied Melba. ‘In fact, by the end of the day, you will be as loud as a silly creature!’ Throughout the day, Melba did all sorts of things with Boomer to make him laugh, such as tell jokes, tie a possum’s tail in a knot, and even fly upside-down! None of this seemed to make Boomer laugh, and when all hope seemed lost, Melba slipped on a slug and fell off the tree! This made Boomer laugh at Melba’s misfortune. ‘Ha ha ha ha ha!’ Said Boomer. ‘Thanks to you, I’ve learned to laugh! But did you break a wing or a leg?’ ‘No, I’m fine.’ Replied Melba. ‘Besides, I’m happy that I got you to laugh! Does that mean your days of being a sourpuss are over?’ ‘Only time will tell.’ Said Boomer. ‘But I’ll tell you one thing: I’ll go to the next comedy club whenever I’m feeling blue!’ And with Boomer feeling a bit happier, he and Melba lived happily ever after. The end.”

Stinky: That was a good story, Jake.

(cut to Armstrong and Bunnie in front of the habitat door)

Bunnie: Okay, Armstrong. It’s Habitat Time, and today, we’re going to Tasmania!

Armstrong: Where’s Tasmania?

Bunnie: Off the Southeast coast of Australia. (opens the door) C’mon, let’s go!

This is Tasmania, which is where our guest Lucifer comes from. Speaking of which, here’s a Tasmanian devil now!

Even though they’re called Tasmanian devils, these guys used to live on mainland Australia, but were wiped out because of humans.

Armstrong: Yikes. I hope chicken hawks aren’t next.

What’s that, a hedgehog?

Bunnie: No, that’s an echidna! Like the platypus, echidnas lay eggs.

Armstrong: Oh yeah. Ollie and I saw one when we went to Australia in the Mother’s Day episode.

Bunnie: And what’s more, echidnas use their long tongues and sharp claws to find their favorite food- insects!

Armstrong: I know what that is- a kangaroo.

Bunnie: You’re super close, Armstrong, but that’s a Bennett's Wallaby. On mainland Australia, it’s called the red-necked wallaby because of its red neck.

Armstrong: Really? It looks more tan to me.

I have no idea what that is, but it sure is cute.

Bunnie: That’s an Eastern quoll. Similar to the Tasmanian devil, this predatory marsupial also used to live on mainland Australia, but were hunted to extinction.

Armstrong: Man, humans need to tone down the slaughter. One extinction may lead to another!

Look at the bird!

Bunnie: That’s a Tasmanian hen. Unusual for its species, these birds have more adult males in each flock than females.

Armstrong: That’s cool! If I didn’t eat chicken, I could join their flock.

Bunnie: Sorry, Armstrong, but we have to go.

(Bunnie and Armstrong leave Tasmania and head back to the Animal Show studio)

Bunnie: For Habitat Time, it’s Bunnie Bear-

Armstrong: And Armstrong the chickenhawk.

Bunnie: Just back from Tasmania.

(Tizzy flies around Stinky and Jake again)

Tizzy: Tizzy here! Time for a quiz! (cuts to the screen below)

What does a rhino beetle do when it’s stressed? Give it a think. Back in a buzz!

(cuts back to Stinky and Jake, who are trying to figure out the answer)

Jake: I think it flies away.

Stinky: Sounds a little wimpy. Maybe it hisses like a cat.

Tizzy: You’re actually right! (flies back to the previous screen) When a rhino beetle is stressed, it will either hiss or squeak. Bee-lieve it, because it’s true!

Jake: Thanks for the quiz, Tizzy. That's all the time we have today, and until next time, keep seeing the world through the eyes of animals. Bye!

Author's Notes: This week's Baby Talk was taken from the Animal Show episode 'Kangaroo and Frog'. Here's a link to the episode below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC4fgJl34ik&list=PLifn29u_lcafo7MqUFGnitW79pbWqDb6q&index=22&pp=iAQB

Fairy bread is a real desert they have in Australia. As you could tell by Yves's recipe, it's very fattening.

The song 'Sweet Little Treat was previously performed in the Fraggle Rock episode 'Red Handed and the Invisible Thief', and was later used in the Animal Show episode 'Cheetah and Gazelle'.

The story about the kookaburras Boomer and Melba was inspired by the Book of Pooh episode 'I Could Have Laughed All Night'. In this episode, Tigger forgets to laugh, so the other characters decide to put on a Vuadville act to make Tigger laugh again. When all hope seems lost, the stage that the characters are performing on collapses, and Tigger gets his laugh back.

Armstrong and Ollie actually did see an echidna in the Animal Show episode 'Koala and Ostrich'.

In the next episode, the characters head out to the woods when the guests are a possum and an orangutan!

The Animal Show- Kookaburra and Tasmanian Devil Part 1

 Stinky and Jake: Here on the Animal Show.

Here on the Animal Show.

Here on the Animal Show!

Bunnie Bear: From under the ocean, over the clouds, and around the world…

Armstrong the Chickenhawk: Here comes the wild side of wild life.

Bunnie: The Animal Show!

Armstrong: And now, let’s have a wild welcome for your furry friends-

Bunnie: Stinky and Jake!

Stinky and Jake: Now it’s The Animal Show!

Jake: Hello, all you animals out there!

Stinky: I’m Stinky.

Jake: And I’m Jake. And today, we are going to meet two very loud animals, the Tasmanian devil and the kookaburra.

Stinky: How loud?

Jake: Well, kookaburras can be heard from two miles away.

Stinky: With a noise that loud, my ear drums will pop! I need to put in earplugs. (runs off to get earplugs)

Jake: I swear, this happens every episode. Anyway, here are Bunnie and Armstrong with…

Bunnie: That’s amazing! Today, we look at the Tasmanian tiger.

Armstrong: A tiger in Tasmania?! What’s next? Kangaroos in Japan?

Bunnie: The Tasmanian tiger wasn’t really a tiger. It was a marsupial like kangaroos, koalas, and possums. This magnificent beast, also known as the Thylacine, roamed the Australian island of Tasmania for many years. However, due to overhunting, habitat loss, climate change, and competing with dingoes, the Tasmanian tiger went extinct in 1936.

Armstrong: Now, that’s something that will make you say…

Jake: That’s depressing. (Stinky comes back with earplugs)

Stinky: Hi, Jake! What did I miss?

Jake: We’ll talk about it after the show. And now, all the way from Australia…

Stinky: Austria.

Jake: Please welcome Katie the Kookaburra!

Katie: G’day, Jake. Why is Stinky wearing earplugs?

Jake: He doesn’t want his eardrums to pop.

Katie: Nonsense! We only sound like that when there’s a whole flock of us, like this.

Stinky: Even though my ears are plugged, it sounds like you’re laughing. Did someone tell you a good joke?

Katie: No, that’s just the sound we make to establish territory. Besides, I’m a laughing kookaburra, and there are five other kookaburra species.

Jake: Can we see them?

Katie: Sure. Here’s the shovel-billed kookaburra…

The spangled kookaburra…

The rufous-bellied kookaburra…

And the blue-winged kookaburra.

Jake: Look at those blue wings!

Stinky (pulling out his ear plugs): Why are you called the kookaburra? Is it some kind of cuckoo bird?

Katie: No, cuckoos are just as related to kookaburras as koalas are to bears. We kookaburras are a type of kingfisher, and yes. Some of us do eat fish.

But mainly, laughing kookaburras eat grasshoppers, lizards, and mice.

Stinky: That’s my kind of meal! Minus the mice.

Katie: I have to go now. I need to see my children hatch! (flies over to the Habitat Door)

Jake: And now, some more Australian animals with…

Jake and Stinky: Baby talk!

Human: Okay then, Mrs. Kangaroo. If you’ll just excuse my cold hands here. (feels through the pouch to reveal a joey) Now, I’m just going to look inside your pouch and what is this? Well, congratulations, it’s a baby boy.

Mrs. Kangaroo: Aw!

Human: A fine, bouncing, baby boy kangaroo. Well, if it’s a kangaroo, it’ll be bouncing soon, right?

Mrs. Kangaroo: (laughs) Oh, I shall call him Jasper.

(later, Mrs. Kangaroo and Jasper are out in the wild)

Alright, Jasper. Time for you to get out.

Jasper: It’s bright out here. Oh, I’m hungry. I’m going to eat some of this grass.

Mrs. Kangaroo: Isn’t it delicious?

Jasper: Mmm!

(later, Jasper is looking through Mrs. Kangaroo’s pouch)

Jasper: I’m just gonna take a look. I lost my train set in here somewhere.

Mrs. Kangaroo: Is this really necessary?

Jasper: Ma, I’m sure I left it in there somewhere.

Mrs. Kangaroo: Alright, alright. I wish you’d clean up your room sometime, especially since it’s in my pouch.

Stinky: Why did you play a clip of a kangaroo?

Jake: We couldn’t find footage of Tasmanian devil joeys. (Tizzy flies by)

Tizzy the Bee: Hi, everyone! Time for a quiz!

Why do howler monkeys howl? Give it a think. Back in a buzz!

(Cuts back to Stinky and Jake, who are trying to figure out the answer)

Stinky: What do you think the answer is, Jake?

Jake: I think it’s to communicate with other monkeys.

Tizzy: You’re right! Howler monkeys use their howls for territorial defense, mating attraction, and predator repulsion. Because of their specialized digestive characteristics, their synchronized howling is most active around dawn and dusk, maximizing their vegetarian lifestyle. Bee-lieve it, because it’s true!

Movie Review: Lilo and Stitch (2025 film)

Movie Review: Lilo and Stitch (2025 film)                                                              5-25-25

This movie is about a 6-year-old Hawaiian girl named Lilo Pelekai. Lilo is a strange girl: She cuts off lures from fishing rods, goes into the jacuzzi with old people, frees chickens from her neighbor's yard, and gives fish sandwiches. The only one who understands her is her older sister Nani, who plans on studying marine biology in college. Because Lilo is so strange, the social workers plan on separating the sisters. One day, while visiting the local animal shelter, she meets a blue dog that she buys and names Stitch. Little does she know that Stitch is actually an alien from another galaxy who was made by a mad scientist that is meant to destroy everything he touches, and two aliens are disguised as humans who are intent on capturing Stitch! If that wasn't bad enough, CIA official Cobra Bubbles wants to capture Stitch as well for ruining a wedding.

Dean Fleischer-Camp's take on Lilo and Stitch is the best live-action Disney remake since The Jungle Book with a story that balances heart, tension, humor, and nostalgia equally, animation from ILM that recreates Stitch very well, world building that captures the best of Hawaii, some funny jokes, and a score from Dan Romer that recaptures the magic of the original.

Before anyone asks, no. I'm not repulsed by the alien designs: Before the movie came out, I decided to read The True Meaning of Smekday, the book that inspired DreamWorks' Home. In the book, the Boov are rather creepy-looking with multiple elephant legs, a wide mouth, fish eyes, and frog-like fingers. Yes, the Boov are disturbing to look at, but that's the point: Even though they're different from humans in every aspect, the Boov have a lot more in common with humans than you think. The same can apply to the alien characters in Lilo and Stitch. DreamWorks redesigned the Boov for Home so they could be made into toys that kids could buy.

Anyway, back to Lilo and Stitch. I also like the changes they made to Stitch's creator Jumba Jookiba: Without spoiling anything, let's say he's a reason why Gantu was cut from this adaption of Lilo and Stitch.

Jumba (Zach Galifianakis) at Planet Turro's trial.

I also love Maia Lealoha's performance as Lilo: She not only recaptures Daveigh Chase's (the original voice of Lilo Pelekai) vocal performance perfectly, but she also recaptures her behavior. She may not have bitten or punched her classmates (instead, she pushes Myrtle), but Lilo still loves Elvis, has weird interests, and her own doll who's recovering from surgery.

If I were to nitpick one thing, I don’t think Stitch went through character development as quickly as he did in the first film. Not to mention that some scenes move a bit too quickly compared to the original, though maybe that’s just me.

Stitch tearing apart sand castles.

In conclusion, in case Pixar’s next film Elio ends up being a critical disappointment, try to see Lilo and Stitch in theaters this Summer. Just be warned that like the original, this movie has moments that are emotional.

Rating: 3.8 stars out of 5

PS. If you're reading this Dean, maybe you could direct remakes of The Aristocats, The Fox and the Hound, and Oliver & Company: They're all movies that could use a fixer-upper.

The Animal Show- Electric Eel and Basilisk Lizard Part 2

 Jake: And now, let’s see what’s cooking in the kitchen with Yves St. La Roche.

(cuts to Yves in his kitchen)

Yves: Bonjour, bonjour little animals out there! Today’s a throwback recipe with a waterproof cheese sandwich! You will need a bowl, some cheese and tomato, a bit of bread, a cucumber, a plastic bag, and some ketchup for good luck! (grabs the ingredients and places them in a bowl) Mix them together, and voila! A waterproof cheese sandwich. It may look and taste horrible, but at least it will be dry underwater! Steve the lobster will demonstrate! (Steve arrives and grabs the bag, which opens thanks to his sharp claws)

Steve: Is this for me? Thank you! (pulls the sandwich out of the bag and eats it) It’s great, though I hate ketchup.

(cuts back to Stinky and Jake)

Jake: And now, all the way from South America…

Stinky: Deja vu.

Jake: Please welcome Izzy the Basilisk Lizard!

Izzy: Hi, Jake. Why is Stinky dressed up as a human?

Stinky: Who is Stinky? I am Super Skunk, dedicated to helping endangered species!

Izzy: You don’t have to worry about me, Stinky. In fact, basilisks are invasive in some places!

Stinky: Invasive?! Sorry, but that means I have to arrest you.

Izzy: But not me! I’m Colombian. Here’s a picture of my brother, Ishmal.

Jake: You don’t seem to be running on water.

Izzy: We’re also good at climbing trees and even swimming.

Stinky: Swimming?

Izzy: And we can hold our breath for up to 30 minutes!

Jake: That’s fantastic! I can only stay underwater for a minute.

Stinky: Can we see a clip of you running please?

Izzy: Alright, though I might as well play the licking game every time someone asks me to show a clip of a basilisk running.

Jake: Is singing one of your talents?

Izzy: Do I have to?

Stinky: I’ll spray you if you don’t!

Jake: Super Skunk! That’s not how we treat the guests!

Izzy: It’s okay, Jake. I’m just not that good at singing, but I’ll sing a song about lizards.

Jake: And now, here’s Izzy the Basilisk Lizard singing ‘The Lizard Song’.

Izzy: Lizards, I think, are the best of reptiles

Native to six worlds, we have the best style!

We can climb on walls, change color, and regrow our tails

It’s much better than having tough scales!

Lizards can come in many different sizes

Half an inch to five feet, we have lots of surprises!

Glide through trees and inflate our throats

The Komodo dragon could even eat a goat!

Lizards are unique from other reptiles

We may not have sharp teeth or coils, but we’ll always make you smile!

Bunnie: And now it’s time for the Animal Awards! Today, the fastest animal on two legs!

Armstrong: We did this before?

Bunnie: Aw, but can we do it again?

Armstrong: Alright, but I already know the winner. Could it be… The cassowary?

Bunnie: The ostrich?

Armstrong: The human?

Bunnie: Or the roadrunner?

Armstrong: And the winner is… I honestly forget. I was lying before.

Bunnie: The winner is the ostrich, which can run up to over 30 miles an hour!

Armstrong: Congratulations, ostrich!

Bunnie: Back to you, Stinky and Jake!

(cut back to Stinky and Jake)

Jake: And now, it’s time for a story, which will feature a lizard like Izzy.

Stinky: Don’t start without Stinky! (runs offscreen to take off his outfit and runs back) There. Can we start the story now?

Jake: Yes, Stinky. “Once upon a time in the Galapagos, there was a marine iguana named Pedro. Pedro loved living in the Galapagos, but one day, he was scooped by a tidal wave and ended up on the beaches of Ecuador! ‘Where am I?’ Said Pedro. ‘This doesn’t look like home Oh well. The ocean will just scoop me up again and bring me back to the Galapagos Islands.’ Pedro waited for a week, but no wave was as big as the one that brought him to Ecuador. During this time, Pedro didn’t eat a thing, and that made him, believe it or not, shrink. One day, a seagull noticed him and said ‘You haven’t eaten in weeks! Are you just gonna waste any to nothing?’ ‘Yes!’ Said Pedro. ‘Well, you shouldn’t let that stop you. Where you come from doesn’t matter; It’s what you do with your life that matters. Besides, I could ask my friends to carry you back, if you really want to.’ ‘You know, you’re right.’ Said Pedro. ‘I shouldn’t starve to death just because I’m homesick!’ And so, Pedro ate up to 3 pounds of seaweed and algae and returned to his normal size. The next day, he was carried back to the Galapagos with the seagulls, and he lived happily ever after. The end.”

Stinky: That was a good story, Jake. Do marine iguanas actually shrink?

Jake: Yes, actually. They shrink when there’s not enough food to go around.

(cut to Armstrong and Bunnie in front of the habitat door)

Bunnie: Okay, Armstrong. It’s Habitat Time, and today, we’re going to the Amazon River!

Armstrong: The Amazon River?! As in piranhas, electric eels, and crocodiles?

Bunnie: Yes, but don't worry your little head about it! We’ll be safe as usual. (opens the door) Come on, let’s go!

The Amazon Basin represents half the world’s rainforests, with one in ten species anywhere living on Earth living here.

Armstrong: Help! Crocodiles!

Bunnie: Those aren’t alligators, Armstrong. These are caimans, which are actually said to be related to alligators.

Armstrong: Is that Plunk?

Bunnie: That’s actually a giant river otter, not a sea otter. In fact, Sandy was a giant otter.

Armstrong: From when you were lonely, so you decided to have her and Melanie the Mink over for a sleepover.

Bunnie: Correct! Like Sandy said in that episode, giant otters are endangered because of overhunting by humans. Some are also careless enough to pollute the Amazon!

Armstrong: But it’s so beautiful so far.

Armstrong: What’s a dolphin doing here? They live in the ocean.

Bunnie: Not the Amazon river dolphin! This cetacean lives in rivers, but it’s still just as smart and playful as their saltwater cousins.

Armstrong: What’s a cetacean?

Bunnie: That’s a fancy word for the whale family.

Man, that fish is huge!

Bunnie: Yes it is, Armstrong. That’s an arapaima, which can reach up to 15 feet in length. What makes it more interesting is that the arapaima can breathe air!

Armstrong: A fish breathing air?! Now I've seen everything!

Bunnie: And finally, the mata mata. Look at its nose!

Armstrong: What’s the ‘mata’ with this turtle?

Bunnie: It comes from the Tupi Guarani word matamata, which means ‘turtle’. Some South American humans think it’s called the mata mata because of its fierce hunting skills. It can sneak up on prey and swallow it undetected!

Armstrong: Can we go now? Piranhas are in this river, and they can rip off your flesh in seconds!

Bunnie: Okay, and we’re running out of air.

(Bunnie and Armstrong leave the Amazon River and head back to the Animal Show studio)

Bunnie: For Habitat Time, it’s Bunnie Bear-

Armstrong: And Armstrong the chickenhawk.

Bunnie: Just back from the Amazon River.

(Tizzy flies around Stinky and Jake again)

Tizzy: Quiz time!

Jake: And what’s the quiz this time?

Tizzy: Well, here it is! (cuts to the screen below)

Which lizard is most closely related to the basilisk lizard? The iguana, the chameleon, the anole, or the skink? Give it a think! Back in a buzz!

(cuts back to Stinky and Jake, who are trying to figure out the answer)

Jake: What do you think the answer is, Stinky?

Stinky: I’m afraid that I might get the question wrong. Maybe I should get Super Skunk.

Tizzy: Well, here’s the answer! (flies back to the previous screen) The basilisk lizard is a type of iguana. Bee-lieve it, because it’s true!

Jake: Thanks for the quiz, Tizzy! Well, that’s all the time we have for today, and until next time, keep seeing the world through the eyes of animals!

Author's Notes: Plunk the Sea Otter previously appeared in the Animal Show episode 'Sea Otter and Vulture', in which she taught Stinky and Jake about otters and how they use tools.

The waterproof cheese sandwich was previously made by Yves in the Animal Show episode 'Shark and Sea Lion'.

The award for Fastest Animal on Two Legs was previously held in the Animal Show episode 'Koala and Ostrich'. Believe it or not, a marine iguana will shrink if there's not enough food available, but don't worry: It will gain weight when food becomes available again.

Sandy was a giant otter in the Animal Show episode 'Giant Otter and Mink', in which Bunnie bonds with the mustelids and even holds a sleepover!

From left to right: Sandy, Bunnie, and Melanie.

Next week, you'll learn about very loud animals when the guests are a kookaburra and a Tasmanian devil!
