look great all right karen we're ready to go [Music] this is gonna be so much fun [Music] look at it you see what kind of animal this is oh they are giraffes and they are so cute so much fun being on a safari do you see that one giraffe look it's really small marco why is that one giraffe so much smaller than the others you know that giraffe flippy is actually one of our newest babies she's 16 days old it really is a baby how tall is the giraffe oh well you know they can grow throughout their lifetime actually so she is about six feet at the moment but she's gonna keep growing this is the tallest mammal on planet earth whoa this baby giraffe is a baby but it's as tall as me that's pretty amazing wow they're so so pretty and so tall hey it looks like they have these little things on their head it looks like hair or little horns what are those actually they're called ossicones actually ossicones whoa that's a really cool word what's an ossicon i'll think of it sort of like like horns for a giraffe basically oh wow those ossicons are pretty cool they're so cool do you see what colors they are yeah it looks like they're a golden brown and white yeah i have a really interesting pattern all over them [Music] it also looks like they have big ears can giraffes hear really well they do they hear very very well and eyesight's pretty amazing too you know there's other predators out there where they live so they gotta watch out whoa that is so cool they can hear really well and see all over the safari i think giraffes are so amazing hello giraffe whoa look that drop he's looking at us i think he's just checking us out he's saying hi blippi hi whoa they also have funny looking mouths what kind of food does a giraffe eat oh they love leaves plant material especially having such a long neck eating all the plants at the very tops of the trees oh that makes sense yeah giraffes are really tall with really long necks so they can eat the tops of trees wow giraffes sure are pretty amazing but they're not a platypus hmm let's keep looking for some other amazing animals maybe we'll find a platypus [Music] you won't believe what really cool animal marco and i found our safari come look whoa look at him what kind of animal is this oh these are called fringe beard oryx whoa fringed eared orcs never heard of an animal like that before do you see they have a really big horns on their head kind of like a unicorn but instead of one horn they have one two horns wow they're amazing oh whoa and look they have kind of funny markings on their face they do yeah right now we think that's actually to help them squared off predators out there it's almost like having a permanent halloween mask sounds spooky wow they're so cool and they're they're pretty big can can these orcs run fast well they can run very fast i mean they need to get away from predators wow just the family works and do you see their ears are so funny they have dots in the middle of their ears it looks like an eye that's a really good observation that's what we think they have them for to help confuse predators out there so they can't sneak up and surprise him whoa these orcs look really smart that is so cool they're just hanging out being friendly well it was nice to meet you hello these works were really interesting but they're still not a platypus let's keep looking [Music] hey fluffy come look at these guys oh okay whoa look at what animal marco found whoa they're so big marco what kind of animal is this you're looking at a southern white rhino wow a southern white rhino you see look we have really big horns whoa why does a rhino like this have a big horn those horns help them protect themselves out there in africa against all those predators out there wow it is so cool and so big whoa and look look they have really teeny tiny eyes but they have really big noses i bet that means they have a really good sense of smell yeah yeah you're absolutely right that's a good observation you know these animals excellent sense of smell really really good hearing as well you see how those ears can move around all about so they can always hear what's going on around them wow that is amazing their ears are so fuzzy look you see all the little hairs and fuzzy parts rhinos are so cute and so hungry oh do they like to eat anything else other than hay oh they love the old sorts of plant material they love grass skin these guys can weigh three to four thousand pounds sometimes even more so they gotta eat all that food whoa three to four thousand pounds that's a lot of hay hey wow they sure do like eating yeah and they are really big hey do you know what color these rhinos are yeah they're the color gray i bet they stay cool because is there dirt on their backs that's absolutely right yeah they love to wallow out there get some mud on their backs it helps with sunblock like that safari hat you were wearing they don't need the hat they got their mud wow it's so amazing yeah they roll around in the dirt and they stay cool yeah dirt dust on their back kind of like my official safari hat whoa well i think we should see some more animals marco i think you're right these rhinos they're not platypuses [Music] thanks marco for taking us on an awesome safari and no problem let's go see some more animals okay let's go looking for a platypus is hard work i've been running so fast hey do you know what other animal likes to run really fast yeah a cheetah likes to run really fast they are the fastest land animal and they can run up to 70 miles per hour and reach speeds of 40 miles per hour in three steps whoa hey i have an idea how about i race a cheetah yeah let's see who in the race [Music] did you see how fast that cheetah was it was amazing well better keep looking for this platypus [Music] i'm so excited to see the snake what kind of snake is this this is called the fur knees python whoa this burmese python is so big whoa what's its name this is julius squeezer julius glazer he's so silly that's a cool name this snake is amazing and look it has this really pretty pattern with all types of different shades of brown and white and gold why is it colored like this yeah well this helps him get his food up in the wild so this is what we call a sit in weight predator so that's exactly what he did as he sits he blends in with all the leaf litter and just waits until something yummy walks by and then he got sacked for that day wow that is so cool julia squeezer how's it going hello [Music] hey it looks like he's looking at us now whoa he keeps poking his tongue out why is julia squeezer doing that you know he's actually tasting the air so he has an organ in his mouth called the jacobson's organ which helps him actually detect price so he can pick up set particles in the air to help follow his prey out there whoa that is really amazing it sure would be silly if i was walking around with my tongue out i'm not a snake oh but this snake is so cool what type of snake is this a burmese python and you know the difference is between the python and the boa sometimes people get him confused oh yeah python and boa whoa what's the difference between a python and a boa that's a great question blippi you know pythons are generally found in the old world so asia africa australia plus they lay eggs now the boa can be found in the old world and the new world but while boaz do instead they carry their eggs inside of them so people tend to call it a live birth but really they're just keeping their eggs inside whoa wow julia squeezer is so friendly he keeps saying hello wow snakes are so amazing they're so good at moving even though they don't have any arms or legs yeah hello [Music] i'd like to give you a hug but i feel like they have a really powerful hugs they really do yeah this predator is a constrictor so he just holds his prey super super tight and that's a good thing he noted too actually flippy you know these animals uh julius he's an ambassador he represents his wild brothers and sisters but we definitely want the kids out there to know you don't want to be handling a wild snake like this we are trained professionals here at the safari park yeah you don't want to be handling a snake like this without a professional wildlife hair specialist like my good friend marco but he sure is beautiful wow hello

nocturnal predator that means she hunts at night so she's going to use those really big eyeballs to help her see really well at nighttime help her catch her little prey item whoa do you remember that word yeah nocturnal that means they're not awake in the day like us but they're awake at night wow brew is so amazing well all the birds we've learned about really like eating meat do all birds eat meat actually no blippi we have some animals that are omnivores that like eating two different things meat and plant material and we got one we'll share with you right now oh wow that's amazing and

name whoa and what's that on their head it looks like spikes like an echidna yeah you actually a lot of people think that but you know those are actually tightly woven feathers so they're not sharp at all just like that big beautiful wingspan every feather is modified for very specific things she has feathers for flying she's got feathers to keep her warm she's even got feathers to track to make
