Ajouté : 2026-05-27

[00:00:00][music] >> Hello kids. I hope you are all doing well, smiling, and having a wonderful day today. Welcome [music] back back to another exciting animal adventure where we will discover many amazing animals from around the world.

[00:00:15]So kids, get ready to explore, learn, and have [music] lots of fun.

[00:00:20]Don't forget to smile, use your imagination, and enjoy this wonderful animal journey with us. Are you ready, little explorers? Let's get started.

[00:00:33]Cats [music] can see in light six times dimmer than humans can. Their eyes have a special layer called the tapetum lucidum, which reflects light and helps them see in the dark. Cats are obligate carnivores, [music] which means they must eat meat to stay healthy.

[00:01:01]Horses have lived on Earth for over 50 million years.

[00:01:04]>> [music] >> Horses belong to the Equidae family along with zebras and donkeys.

[00:01:10]Horses usually live for 25 [music] to 30 years, but some live even longer. Horses can see almost 360° around them.

[00:01:27]>> [music] >> Rabbits belong to a special group called lagomorphs, not rodents. [music] They're closely related to hares and pikas, not mice or rats. Rabbits can run up to 55 km/h, 35 [music] mph, and jump over 1 m, 3 ft high. They use quick hops [music] and sharp turns to escape predators.

[00:02:03]>> [music] >> Black panthers, especially leopards, are known for climbing [music] trees and dragging their prey up to avoid scavengers.

[00:02:13]The black panther is actually a melanistic black colored form of leopards or jaguars. The black panther symbolizes strength, [music] mystery, protection, and power in many cultures.

[00:02:33]>> [clears throat] >> Hippos spend about 16 hours a day submerged in water to keep their massive bodies cool under the hot African sun.

[00:02:45]Hippos secrete a reddish oily substance from their skin. [music] This blood sweat acts as a potent moisturizer, antiseptic, and sunblock.

[00:03:07]Black bears are highly intelligent and have [music] excellent long-term memory, especially regarding food sources.

[00:03:18]Black bear [music] is an incredibly adaptable and fascinating creature.

[00:03:22]Here are some key facts about them.

[00:03:25]>> [music] [music] >> Sloths live in the rainforests of Central and South America. [music] Sloths spend almost their entire lives in trees hanging upside down.

[00:03:46]Sloths sleep for 15 to 20 hours a day.

[00:03:50]That's almost their whole life spent resting.

[00:03:54]Sloths have long claws.

[00:04:08]Geese belong to the Anatidae family, which also includes ducks and swans.

[00:04:13]Most geese are medium to large waterfowl with long necks and webbed feet. [music] Geese are mostly herbivores, eating grass, grains, roots, >> [music] >> and aquatic plants. Wild geese can live up to 15 to 25 years, and sometimes longer in captivity.

[00:04:41]Wildebeest are large antelopes found [music] mostly in the grasslands and savannas of Africa, especially in Tanzania and Kenya. Wildebeest are herbivores. They eat mostly grass and sometimes leaves. Wildebeest can [music] run fast, reaching speeds up to 50 miles per hour, 80 km per hour.

[00:05:12]Hamsters are small mammals that belong to the rodent family, just like mice [music] and squirrels.

[00:05:18]That's why your hamster might be running on its wheel when everyone else is asleep. Hamsters teeth never stop growing, so they need to chew on wood, [music] cardboard, or special chew toys to keep them short. Hamsters are omnivores.

[00:05:43]>> [music] >> Turtle is a reptile characterized its bony or cartilaginous shell.

[00:05:50]This shell acts as a protective shield for its [music] body.

[00:05:55]Turtles have been on Earth for an incredibly long time.

[00:05:58]>> [music] >> They first evolved over 200 million years ago.

[00:06:02]Turtles are omnivores. What a turtle eats depends [music] entirely on its species and habitat.

[00:06:12]>> [music] [music] >> Hyenas are often thought of as scavengers, but they're actually skilled hunters, too.

[00:06:25]>> [music] >> In fact, spotted hyenas hunt up to 70 to 80% of their food themselves. Hyenas have one of the strongest bite forces of any mammal, strong enough to crush bones.

[00:06:41]>> [laughter] [laughter] >> Cheetahs mainly hunt gazelles, impalas, hares, and other small animals.

[00:06:55]>> [music] >> They rely on speed and strategy, stalking prey before sprinting to catch it.

[00:07:01]Cheetahs live in Africa, mostly in open plains and savannas, and small populations [music] exist in Iran. They need wide open spaces to spot and chase prey.

[00:07:15]>> [music] >> Reindeer are one of the few deer species to have been widely domesticated, primarily by the Sami people of northern Europe and other Arctic indigenous groups. Reindeer are surprisingly vocal.

[00:07:35][music] They make a variety of grunts and snorts, and a unique clicking sound.

[00:07:53]Buffalo are known for their immense strength and muscular build, making them one of the strongest land animals.

[00:08:01]Buffalo are very protective of each other. When one is attacked, others may charge to defend [music] it.

[00:08:08]African buffalo have large, curved horns that can form a boss.

[00:08:23]Crocodiles are prehistoric animals.

[00:08:26]They've been on Earth for over 200 million years since the time of the dinosaurs.

[00:08:31]>> [music] >> Crocodiles live in rivers, lakes, swamps, and marshes in Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas.

[00:08:40]Crocodiles are meat eaters. [music] They eat fish, birds, mammals, and sometimes even other crocodiles.

[00:08:47]>> [music] [music] >> Pandas belong to the bear family, Ursidae, and are technically [music] carnivores, but they mostly eat plants.

[00:09:05]Sometimes they eat small animals, eggs, or insects for [music] extra protein.

[00:09:11]Pandas are excellent climbers. They can climb trees to escape predators or rest.

[00:09:16][music] Pandas eat almost nothing but bamboo.

[00:09:21]>> [crying] [music] >> Wolves are the largest members of the dog family, Canidae.

[00:09:36]Wolves have 42 teeth built for tearing meat and crushing bone. Wolves can run at speeds of up to 37 mph, 60 km/h, when chasing [music] prey. Wolves are carnivores. They mainly eat deer, elk, moose, and smaller animals.

[00:09:54]>> [music] >> Zebras belong to the horse family, Equidae. They're close relatives of horses and donkeys. Zebras can run up to 65 km/h, 40 mph, to escape predators.

[00:10:18]Zebras eat mostly grass, but also leaves, herbs, and bark [music] when grass is scarce. They spend most of the day grazing, and their strong teeth are made for chewing tough plants.

[00:10:29]Zebras live in groups called [music] herds or harems.

[00:10:36]>> [laughter] [music] >> Tigers are the largest wild cats in the world. Tigers are solitary animals, meaning they like to live and hunt alone. A tiger's roar can be heard from up to 3 km, 2 mi, away.

[00:10:59]Tigers have orange coats with black [music] stripes, but some are white due to a rare gene.

[00:11:05]A tiger's [music] body can grow up to 10 ft, 3 m, long, including its tail.

[00:11:11]Tigers mark their territory with scratch marks, scent, and roars.

[00:11:17]>> [music] >> Mountain goat isn't a true goat. It's more [music] accurately described as a goat antelope in the family Bovidae.

[00:11:37]Mountain goat belies their extreme specialization for high altitude life.

[00:11:42]Their anatomical, physiological, and behavioral traits all support [music] survival far above lowland ecosystems.

[00:11:51]Mountain goat isn't a true goat. It's [music] more accurately described as a goat antelope in the family Bovidae.

[00:11:59]Mountain goat belies their extreme specialization for high altitude life.

[00:12:03][music] Their anatomical, physiological, and behavioral traits all support survival far above lowland ecosystems.
