00:00Hello kids! Today, we are going to learn about the big five of Africa.
00:22These are five very special animals that live in Africa.
00:27Let's meet them!
00:32Hi kids! I am Leo the lion. I am the king of the jungle.
00:41Don't make me angry, because I can roar.
00:52I live in grassy areas called savannas. I live with my family called a pride.
01:03A pride has many lions, including moms, dads, and cubs.
01:11We like to hunt together, mostly at night, when it's cooler. We eat animals like zebras and buffaloes.
01:21Did you know that lions can sleep up to 20 hours a day?
01:30Hi kids! I am Ellie the elephant. The elephant is the largest land animal in the world.
01:39I love to trumpet.
01:48I live in forests and savannas. I live in a big family group called a herd.
01:58The eldest female elephant, known as the matriarch, leads my herd.
02:08We love to eat grass, leaves, and fruits. We use our long trunks to pick up food and drink water.
02:20Elephants also love to play in water and spray it all over themselves.
02:28Hi kids! I am Ronnie the rhinoceros. I love to snort.
02:40I live in grassy areas and sometimes in forests. I like to be alone or with my family.
02:50Rhinos have thick skin and a big horn on their nose. They eat grass and leaves.
03:00Rhinos like to roll in the mud to keep cool and protect their skin from the sun and bugs.
03:10Hi kids! I am Lulu the leopard. I love to growl.
03:30I live in forests, mountains, and grasslands. I like to be alone most of the time.
03:42I am very good at climbing trees. I carry my food up into trees to keep it safe from other animals.
03:56I can leap very far.
04:04Hi kids! I am Bob the buffalo. I love to moo.
04:16I live in grassy areas called savannas. I live in a big group called a herd.
04:32Buffalos eat grass and drink lots of water. They stay close together to protect each other from predators.
04:41Buffalos are very strong and can run fast to escape danger.
04:49And that's the Big Five of Africa. Lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalos are amazing animals.
05:00They all live in Africa and have many interesting ways of living.
05:06Thanks for learning with us today. See you next time, kids. Bye-bye!
