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 a cassowary and a rhino. Both animals are herbivores who are, in fact, deadly.
Stinky: What’s a cassowary?
Jake: It’s a flightless bird from Australia, similar to the ostrich.
Stinky: Then, why don’t they call it an Australian ostrich.
Jake: Well, they look rather different from ostriches.
Armstrong: And now, here’s another edition of…
Bunnie: That’s amazing! Today, we look at the hippopotamus!
Armstrong: What’s so great about a hippo?
Bunnie: Just look!
Even though they weigh 4,000 pounds, these heavyweight horse relatives are fast on land AND in the water! They can’t swim, but they are capable of running underwater!
Armstrong: Now that’s something that will make you say…
Stinky and Jake: That’s amazing!
Jake: And now, all the way from Australia…
Stinky: Australia.
Jake: Please welcome Kimberly the Cassowary!
Kimberly: Hil, Stinky. Hi, Jake.
Stinky: Hi, Kimberly. How are you considered dangerous if you eat plants?
Kimberly: Well, take a look!
We have kicks that can actually kill a human! We also attack dingos, kangaroos, and even cows and horses.
Stinky: Have you ever attacked a skunk before?
Kimberly: No, since there are no skunks in Australia.
Stinky: What do you eat?
Kimberly: Take a look!
Here’s a cassowary eating a banana. However, we may also eat flowers, fungi, snails, insects, frogs, birds, fish, rats, and mice.
Jake: I’ve been told that cassowary dads are really caring, despite your wicked behavior.
Kimberly: Yes, they are! Here’s my husband Kenny sitting on our eggs.
Cassowaries watch over eggs for about 50 days. Once the babies hatch, the dads raise the chicks for nine months.
Stinky: Hey, if you’re a bird, where are your wings?
Kimberly: We have none, since we don’t fly. Flying is overrated, anyway. As well as having viscous kicks, we cassowaries are also great runners. We can run as quickly as 31 miles per hour!
Stinky: Watch out for that car!
Jake: Even though you can’t fly, you’re still an amazing bird!
Kimberly: Thank you, Stinky. I have to get going now. I want to see how Kenny and the kids are doing. (walks off)
Jake: And now, here are more cassowaries with…
Jake and Stinky: Baby talk!
Cassowary chick: Hi, everyone! This doesn’t look like Australia.
Daddy cassowary: This isn’t Australia. It’s the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa.
Cassowary: How come we’re in here and not in the wild?
Daddy cassowary: Because we are endangered, son. Come on, have lunch.
Um, that berry belongs to me.
Cassowary chick: But it’s mine! Mine, mine, mine!
Daddy cassowary: Okay, you can have it. I’ll eat something else.
Man, this will be a long nine months.
Tizzy the Bee: Hi, everyone! Time for a quiz! (cuts to the screen below)
Which of these animals is most likely to attack a human? The hippo, the sloth, the koala, or the toucan? Give it a think. Back in a buzz!
(Tizzy flies back to Stinky and Jake, and this time, Jake actually knows the answer)
Jake: I know what the answer is- the hippopotamus!
Tizzy: You’re actually right! (flies back to the previous screen) The hippo is the most dangerous of them all, but all of them could attack a human, despite being herbivores! Bee-lieve it, because it’s true!
Hippos are very territorial, and are known to kill up to 500 humans a year! Those jaws don’t lie.
Larger toucans, such as the toco toucan and the keel-billed toucan, should not be kept as pets- They are known to get very aggressive during mating season, and they’ve even been reported to eat smaller birds, such as finches and canaries!
Koalas are very friendly and won’t give other animals not much. They are, however, known to bite humans, but those attacks are rare. Other than that, they prefer to rest in trees!
Even though they’re famous for being slow, sloths are, in fact, quick attackers. Those claws don’t lie. Bee-lieve it, because it’s true!
