The Animal Show- Electric Eel and Basilisk Lizard 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 the electric eel and the basilisk lizard, both of which are animals with special talents.

Stinky: I can understand an electric eel, but what makes the basilisk lizard special?

Jake: The basilisk can run on water, and it’s also a good swimmer.

Stinky: So we’re reviewing animals with superpowers?

Jake: You could say that.

Stinky: If that’s the case… (runs off)

Jake: Typical Stinky. Anyway, here’s Bunnie and Armstrong with…

Bunnie: That’s amazing! Today, we look at the archerfish!

Armstrong: A fish that can arch? But it can’t even hold a bow!

Bunnie: Maybe not, but it can spit so accurately that it can knock fish into the water.

Armstrong: Now that’s a fishy fact that will make you say…

Jake: That’s amazing! (Stinky comes back as Super Skunk) Super Skunk, what are you doing here?

Stinky: Stinky told me about the show, and I want to meet these super animals for myself.

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

Stinky: America.

Jake: Please welcome Sparky the Electric Eel!

(Bunnie tugs Sparky over in a large tank)

Sparky: Hola, Jake. Why is Stinky dressed up as a human?

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

Sparky: You don’t have to worry about me, Stinky. Electric eels are not endangered.

Jake: You’re a fish that can produce electricity.

Sparky: Correct! We can produce up to 800 watts of electricity. That’s five times the amount than the socket in your house!

Stinky: I, I mean, Stinky lives in a den.

Sparky: We have poor eyesight, so we send electric signals to find a lady electric eel and other fish to eat.

Jake: Not only is electricity used as a weapon, but also used to locate your surroundings!

Sparky: Correct. And just to clarify, we are not eels! Electric eels are closer related to catfish, like this guy.

Stinky: But you two look nothing alike!

Jake: Super Skunk, you and Stinky are related to Plunk the Sea Otter!

Stinky: Oh yeah. I forgot. We’re mustard lids!

Jake: That’s mustelids, Super Skunk.

Sparky: Sorry that I have to leave so soon, but I have to go now. I’m craving grilled neon tetras!

Bunnie: Back to Brazil you go, Sparky! (pulls Sparky’s tank over to the habitat door)

Jake: And now, here are some more electric eels with…

Jake and Stinky: Baby talk!

Baby eel 1: Where are we?

Baby eel 2: I don’t know, but I know it’s not the Amazon, anymore.

Baby eel 1: Ah! What’s that thing?

Baby eel 3: Let me look. (swims over to the ‘thing’) No need to worry! It’s an electric tree branch!

Baby eel 2: Let me try. (swims over to the ‘tree branch’) It generates electricity, just like us!

Baby eel 4: I miss home. That silly creature brought us here. Maybe he can bring us back.

Baby eel 5: He’s putting his hand in the puddle! I’ll try to shock him.

(ZAP!)

Human: Ouch!

Tizzy the Bee: Hi, everyone! Time for a quiz! (cuts to the screen below)

What is a group of electric eels called? Give it a think. Back in a buzz!

(Tizzy flies back to Armstrong and Jake, who are trying to find out the answer)

Jake: That’s easy! A group of fish is usually called a school, so that must apply to electric eels!

Tizzy: Actually, that's not the case. (flies back to the previous screen) A group of electric eels is called a swarm! Bee-lieve it, because it’s true!
