[00:00:06]Let's go on a magical adventure and discover the most incredible animal homes in the world.

[00:00:12]Look, there's a giant beaver dam, a wibbly-wobbly bird nest, and glowing tunnels deep underground.

[00:00:21]Animal homes.

[00:00:23]Ready to count down 10 of the cleverest creatures?

[00:00:26]Let's go.

[00:00:28]Number 10, the hermit crab.

[00:00:32]Hermit crabs don't build their own houses. Instead, they find old seashells on the beach and move right in.

[00:00:39]When they get too big, they look for [music] a bigger shell. So clever. Did you know?

[00:00:45]Hermit crabs sometimes line up and swap shells with their friends, [music] like a shell party.

[00:00:52]Number nine, the penguin.

[00:00:54]Penguins live where it's icy cold. They use rocks and pebbles [music] to build cozy nests for their eggs.

[00:01:02]All the penguins build together, making giant penguin villages. Wow, their nests [music] keep their fluffy chicks safe and warm.

[00:01:12]Number eight, the friendly spider.

[00:01:16]This gentle little spider is a magical web spinner. [music] Using silky threads, spiders spin beautiful, intricate [music] webs to catch their food.

[00:01:26]Sometimes, when the sun rises, their [music] webs sparkle with tiny drops of morning dew, like nature's jewelry.

[00:01:35]Isn't it amazing how something [music] so tiny can make something so magical?

[00:01:40]Number seven, the prairie dog. Prairie dogs dig huge underground towns [music] called towns with lots of twisty tunnels.

[00:01:49]They even have special rooms for sleeping and hiding.

[00:01:53]Nature engineers, >> [music] >> prairie dog tunnels can be as long as your whole playground.

[00:01:58]Number six, [music] the honeybee. Bees work together to build waxy honeycombs full of yummy honey and baby bees.

[00:02:06]Their homes [music] are shaped like perfect little hexagons. Tiny builders.

[00:02:11]Bees can flap their wings so [music] fast it sounds like gentle singing.

[00:02:16]Number five, the leafcutter ant.

[00:02:18]>> [music] >> Leafcutter ants march in lines carrying leaves way bigger than they are.

[00:02:24]Underground they [music] use the leaves their special ant food.

[00:02:28]So clever. Their homes can have millions of ants inside. [music] Wow.

[00:02:34]Number four, the weaver bird. Weaver birds are master nest builders. [music] They weave grasses into hanging nests that swing from tree branches. Wow. Some nests look [music] like little baskets in the wind. Number three, the termite.

[00:02:50]Termites build towering mud [music] castles called mounds. Inside it's cool and safe with [music] twisty tunnels and secret rooms. Can you believe this? Some termite mounds are taller [music] than a person.

[00:03:04]Number two, the puffer fish.

[00:03:07]Underwater a tiny puffer fish spins and dances in the sand [music] making a giant swirly pattern.

[00:03:14]It's like a magical underwater garden.

[00:03:17]Nature engineers.

[00:03:19]He builds it all to impress [music] his fishy friends and number one, the beaver. Beavers [music] are the best builders of all. With their big teeth they chop down trees and [music] stack them up to make huge dams across rivers. Their cozy lodges have secret [music] underwater doors.

[00:03:39]Beavers keep their family safe and dry even in the wildest weather.

[00:03:44]Animals [music] may be tiny but they can build amazing things.
