00:00Help all kids learn and grow with PBS Kids.
00:03Thank you for supporting your PBS station.
00:07That's me, Fred the house cat.
00:09When my family leaves for the day,
00:11I don't just sit inside watching the world go by.
00:14I become
00:19nature cat, backyard explorer extraordinaire.
00:24Tally ho, tally ho.
00:28Climbing out the trees now.
00:30We're swinging through the breeze now.
00:32We're getting muddy knees now.
00:34Nature cat, nature cat, nature cat.
00:36Nature cat, nature cat, nature cat.
00:38So what are we waiting for?
00:40We're so excited to explore.
00:42All that nature has in store.
00:44We're nature cat.
00:46Tally ho, tally ho.
00:48Tally ho.
00:49We're your favorite nature guide.
00:51We just can't wait to get outside.
00:53We're swinging through the trees now.
00:55We're jumping in the leaves now.
00:57We're getting muddy knees now.
00:59We're jumping in the leaves now.
01:01Tally ho.
01:02Tally ho.
01:04Tally ho.
01:05Tally ho.
01:06Tally ho.
01:08Tally ho.
01:29Tally ho.
01:32Tally ho.
01:32Tally ho.
01:34Tally ho.
01:36Tally ho.
01:41Tally ho.
01:46Tally ho.
01:48Tally ho.
01:50Tally ho.
01:51Tally ho.
01:51Tally ho.
01:52Tally ho.
01:52Tally ho.
01:52Tally ho.
01:54Tally ho.
01:55Tally ho.
01:56We are a tad closer to the water than I'd like to be,
01:58but Daisy has assured me, as a dear friend of mine,
02:02that we are far enough from where the water reaches high tide.
02:04Right, Daisy?
02:05Oh, yeah!
02:07Tense done. Easy-cheesy.
02:10Well done, Squeaks!
02:12Oh, thanks, Nature Cow.
02:13Anyway, let's look for seashells!
02:15Tally-ho!
02:21Celia!
02:23What are you doing here, Celia?
02:25Squeaks, it's good to see you. You look well.
02:28So, uh, how do you two know each other?
02:31When it comes to the ocean, I like to have friends on the inside.
02:35Celia, here is the sea turtle.
02:37A pleasure to meet you, Celia.
02:40Nice to meet you, too.
02:43Celia, you look pretty tired. Are you okay?
02:46Oh, fine. I just laid some eggs, and boy, is that exhausting.
02:51Now it's time to head back out to the ocean.
02:53Wow! How many eggs did you lay?
02:57Ah, more than a hundred. No big whoop.
03:00Give me some what?
03:01But if you laid your eggs here on the beach,
03:03why are you heading to the ocean?
03:05Aw, my eggs don't need me to help them.
03:08We're sea turtles, after all.
03:10And besides, it'll be about eight weeks before they even hatch.
03:14Hey, how will your baby sea turtles know to get to the ocean once they hatch?
03:18Oh, believe me, they'll know.
03:20You see, when I hatched from my shell and came out from under the sand, I didn't need any help.
03:26I knew I had to get to the ocean as quickly as possible.
03:29Why, Celia?
03:30I was very small, so I needed to get to the water where I would be safe and find food
03:35before I got too tired.
03:37How did you know which way to go?
03:39My sea turtle instincts told me to follow the starlight's reflection off the ocean.
03:45It's something we sea turtles don't learn, just do.
03:49Wow, I wish I had sea turtle instincts.
03:52Wait, do I?
03:54I wish I could see the baby sea turtles run into the ocean so cute.
03:58You probably can.
04:00My eggs won't hatch for a while, but there are lots of other nests on the beach under the sand.
04:05Some of those eggs are bound to hatch tonight.
04:07Best!
04:08Beach!
04:09Come out!
04:11Okay, I have to go.
04:13Good to see you, Squeaks.
04:15Ta-ta, Celia!
04:15Bye, Celia!
04:16Good to see you!
04:16Nice to meet you, Celia!
04:17I miss you already!
04:19Send me a postcard, okay?
04:21Let's find a sea turtle nest.
04:25Huh?
04:27Guys, I hear something under the sand.
04:30I think this might be a nest.
04:32I bet these are going to hatch tonight.
04:35They're going to be so cute.
04:37I'm not going to be able to sand it!
04:40Let's watch.
04:47Any sign of the baby turtle's squeaks?
04:50No, not yet, but I think I saw the sand move a little bit, so they're bound to be here
04:54very, very soon.
04:56Well, it's getting late and I want to do some stargazing before I go to bed.
05:00Um, Daisy, I don't see too many stars up there.
05:04That's strange.
05:06I checked the weather and there aren't any clouds blocking the stars tonight.
05:09I wonder why we see so few.
05:12Well, I'm going to get some rest.
05:16It's night time and Nature Cat needs his beauty sleep.
05:19Hey, Squeaks, you coming?
05:21No, no, I think I'm going to stick it out.
05:23I'm going to stay up and see these little turtles hatch and run into the ocean.
05:26Copy that, Squeaks.
05:28See you in the morning.
05:29Nighty night.
05:31Me, me, me, me, me!
05:38Get to the ocean, sea turtles.
05:41Gotta get to the ocean.
05:43Little sea turtles, ooh.
05:45Yes they are.
05:46The turtles!
05:47They hatched!웃,
05:51wake up! The turtles
05:52hatched! Squeaks?
05:54It's the
05:55middle of the night. We should be
05:57sleeping.
05:58The turtles hatch! The nest is empty!
06:01Yay. Empty nest. So great, Squeaks.
06:04But look at the sea turtle tracks! The tracks!
06:09The tracks don't lead to the ocean where the turtles were supposed to go!
06:13The tracks! They lead to...
06:15The neighborhood!
06:17We gotta find the baby sea turtles before they get hurt or something!
06:21Don't worry, baby turtles! We will find you! Tally-ho!
06:28Oh, wow! There's so many lights on! It's like daytime time at nighttime time!
06:34Well, that's probably why the sea turtles came here instead of the ocean.
06:38The bright lights from the neighborhood are brighter than the stars over the sea.
06:43Sea turtles! Sea turtles!
06:46Hmm. Where do we start looking?
06:51Huh?
06:52Alright, listen up. Those sea turtles need to get to the ocean. They need to get there fast.
06:56So what I want from each and every one of you is a hard target search of every porch, yard,
07:02henhouse, playhouse, and doghouse in the area.
07:06Do you understand?
07:07You got it, Squeaks!
07:16Oh, hello. Good evening. Pleasant evening, isn't it? A little warm. Well, bye. No sea turtles under here.
07:27No sea turtles over here.
07:31Uh-oh.
07:34No sea turtles here. Just an angry-looking, perfectly-quaffed little poodle.
07:38Hi, poodle. I'm Hal.
07:43Whoa!
07:45No sea turtles anywhere!
07:50Oh, where could they have gone?
07:52This is terrible! The sea turtles need us!
07:57What was that?
07:58Oh, it sounds like banging.
08:02What if whatever that is has the sea turtles? We can't let them get hurt.
08:06I'll take care of this.
08:08Show yourself, trashcan banger!
08:13Hey, cut it out, man!
08:15Whoopsie, so sorry. My bad.
08:20Hey, buddy, you okay?
08:22I'm alright, but I'm hungry.
08:25I'm what you call nocturnal, so I'm supposed to be hunting for food at night, but it's so bright up.
08:30I need darkness to safely hunt for food.
08:33Man, oh, man.
08:35All these lights are a problem for nocturnal animals, too.
08:38Have no fear, possum.
08:40You go ahead and search for food, and we will let you know if we see any predators.
08:45Oh, thank you.
08:47I saw some scrumptious-looking slugs earlier.
08:52Slugs?
08:52Don't yuck somebody else's yum.
08:55Come on, guys.
08:56Possums are cool.
08:57I love them.
08:58Hey, let us know if you see some little sea turtles, okay?
09:01You got it.
09:02Whoa, careful with that thing.
09:03It's so bright.
09:05Truly sorry.
09:06Once again.
09:09Gotta find those sea turtles.
09:12But how, Squeaks?
09:13This neighborhood is full of lights.
09:15They could be heading toward any of them.
09:17The longer they wander around, the more tired they get.
09:20They might not even be able to get to the ocean if they're out here much longer.
09:23This is a disaster!
09:25Oh, if only we could get the turtles to come to us.
09:29That's it, Hal!
09:30You're a genius!
09:31He is?
09:32He is!
09:33Oh, wait.
09:34That's me.
09:34I am!
09:35We could shut off all the extra lights in the neighborhood,
09:38and then use Nature Cat's bright flashlight to attract the turtles to us!
09:43But how?
09:44With some help.
09:46That's how.
09:47Hey, where'd you get that?
09:48Houston made it for me.
09:50It's my pet phone.
09:51You know, for pet emergencies.
09:54Uh, okay?
09:56Calling all pets.
09:57Calling all pets.
09:59Wait a tick.
10:00How come we don't have pet phones?
10:02Everyone, we have an animal emergency.
10:05I need you all to shut off any lights that your family isn't using so some sea turtles can find
10:09their way to the ocean!
10:11Daisy, I'm sorry.
10:12I just feel like a coordinated effort like that requires more advanced planning.
10:24Thank you!
10:25And remember, only use the lights that you and your families need!
10:28You might just save a sea turtle during nesting season!
10:31That'll do it!
10:32Wow!
10:33I was wrong!
10:35Um, Daisy, can I borrow that phone?
10:37I'd like to ask everyone in the neighborhood to bring me their family's cheeses.
10:42Hey, look at this!
10:44The neighborhood is nice and dark again!
10:46Thanks, guys!
10:47Anything for our animal friends!
10:49Now all we have to do is shine my flashlight and the baby sea turtles will come to us!
10:55Wait!
10:56Don't shine that bright light!
10:57Um, wasn't that the plan?
10:59Oh, man!
11:00Did I misunderstand the plan again?
11:03Look!
11:03Would you look at all those beautiful stars?
11:07Wow!
11:08Man, oh man!
11:10There must be billions up there!
11:12I don't think so, Daisy.
11:13I only count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
11:17Wait, that's a plane.
11:18Now let's shine this light and find those baby sea turtles!
11:22No, Nature Cat, don't!
11:23We don't have to use the flashlight.
11:25Look!
11:26Oh!
11:27Wow!
11:31Aw!
11:32Now that the neighborhood lights have dimmed, they can see the stars reflecting on the ocean!
11:38Ah!
11:39Incredible!
11:40What he said-able!
11:41Whoa!
11:42That's a lot of baby sea turtles!
11:45Go on, sea turtles!
11:46Go, sea turtles!
11:48Go, sea turtles!
11:49Go, sea turtles!
11:49Go, sea turtles!
11:49Go, sea turtles!
11:51You're doing it, baby sea turtle!
11:52And so are you!
11:53And so are you!
11:54And so are you!
11:55And so are you!
11:56You gotta pick up the pace a little bit, but you're doing great!
11:58Oh, baby sea turtles, you're home!
12:00Ah!
12:02I still very, very much love nature!
12:12Nature art!
12:18Man, oh man, oh man, oh man, this nature art is sweet!
12:22Look at this!
12:24Look at this!
12:24I'm speechless!
12:25My mind is scrumpled!
12:27I can't believe it!
12:28Yep, my Aunt Reva made it all herself!
12:30She's a true artiste, baby!
12:34Pine cones bursting with color!
12:36How amazing!
12:37How imaginative!
12:39How pine coney!
12:41Thank you very much!
12:43Aunt Reva!
12:46Oh, Reva, this is Nature Cat Squeaks and Daisy!
12:49And guys, this is my Aunt Reva!
12:51Her name is Reva, and she is my aunt!
12:55Aunt Reva!
12:56Love her!
12:58Aunt Reva, your nature art, so beautiful, so innovative.
13:02We just love it!
13:03Oh, thank you, dear.
13:04So I asked how to invite you here today for a very special reason.
13:08Oh, and it's a surprise!
13:10Oh, I love surprises, Aunt Reva!
13:12Ask anyone!
13:12The secret to surprises is that they're so surprising!
13:17Wink, wink.
13:18So, what is the surprise, Aunt Reva?
13:21I'm inviting all of you to be a part of my nature art show!
13:26We get to make nature art!
13:28We get to make nature art!
13:30Aunt Reva, can you give us some hints on how to make nature art?
13:34Well, when something surprises you in nature,
13:37look closely at it,
13:39and you might find a way to capture it forever!
13:41Like this, and this!
13:43Oh, oh, and this one over here!
13:45That's my favorite!
13:46But how did you do this?
13:48And this!
13:49And this!
13:50Yeah!
13:51What he said, and said, and said!
13:54Nature is filled with surprises as far as the eyes can see.
13:58Look around you for wonders galore!
14:01So go!
14:02It's time to explore!
14:04Oh, man!
14:05Count the mouse in!
14:06Finally, I'll be an artiste as well!
14:08Okay, but Aunt Reva, just a quick question here.
14:11Um, how will we know it's art?
14:12Oh, Hal, you'll know!
14:15Now go!
14:16All of you, go!
14:18Scatter to the winds, let your creative juices flow!
14:20Just be back here three to show off your nature art!
14:23Ta-ta!
14:24Oh, wow!
14:25Our very own art festival!
14:27I'm gonna go to the beach!
14:28I'm going to photograph nature in all its glory!
14:32I shall let the woods be my muse!
14:34What are you gonna make, Nature Cat?
14:37I...I don't know yet.
14:38You heard Aunt Reva!
14:39Being creative takes time!
14:42Onward and onward!
14:44We get to make nature art!
14:46We get to make nature art!
14:48We get to make nature art!
14:52Shells?
14:52Yes!
14:53They're all so surprising!
14:55They'll make beautiful nature art!
14:57Hey, bud!
14:58What's the big idea?
14:59Oops!
15:00Sorry!
15:00I thought you were done with this!
15:01I didn't mean to pick up your house!
15:03My bad!
15:07My bad!
15:12My bad!
15:13My bad!
15:19My bad!
15:20That is sweet!
15:26My bad!
15:35I got that thing!
15:36I don't know!
15:36Ah! Oh, I love it! Oh, yeah, baby.
15:52Nature art? Nature art? Wherefore art thou, nature art?
15:57Oh, hello, nature cat.
16:01Hello, Ronald.
16:03Aren't you going to the nature art festival?
16:06Why, yes, of course I am going. Are you going as well?
16:09Of course I'm going to the art festival, nature cat.
16:13Well, then what are you making, Ronald?
16:16I found these colorful bird feathers in the woods and was so inspired by them that I'm creating a rainbow
16:22of incredible beauty, if I must say so myself, which I do.
16:29Sounds really amazing, actually.
16:31And you? What are you making, nature cat?
16:34It is a... surprise?
16:38Yep, surprise art.
16:40Awesome! I love surprises, if I do say so myself. And I still do.
16:46Me too! Remember from before? The beginning of the episode? I love surprises. Ask anyone.
16:51Don't you worry about me, Ronald. I have this nature art thing under control.
16:56Oh, it's going to be so amazing. Really? It is? Like, for sure? Really? Just you wait to see it?
17:06My art? The surprise? That I know about? Really?
17:11Whatever you say, nature cat. Well, back to my nature art. And good luck making your nature art, if you
17:21ever actually make something.
17:24Toodle to the ooh!
17:25Toodle to the ooh!
17:51Toodle to the ooh!
17:53Of course you can, nature cat. I find when I'm searching for an idea, just grasping for inspiration, I just
18:01relax and spend some quiet time with nature.
18:05Just you and nature, huh?
18:07Yes, just the two of us, nature and I. I take in all the sights and sounds and smells around
18:14me. And you know what? You'll be surprised and delighted at what inspires you!
18:19Thank you, Aunt Reva! I'm off to get inspired! Nothing can stop me now!
18:26Whoa! Just kind of tripped there. Anyway, see ya!
18:32Remember, nature cat. If you let it in, inspiration will find you.
18:38To inspiration! Tally-ho!
18:46Okay. Relax, nature cat. Calm. Just soak up nature.
18:52But I can't relax. I can't keep calm. Nature art needs to be done and I have no nature art
18:58done.
18:59But I can't have any if I'm not inspired. Need to keep quiet so I can be inspired.
19:06But I can't keep quiet because I'm worried and when I'm worried I get loud.
19:09But if I'm loud I won't be inspired and I won't make any nature art and everybody else will.
19:14So I need to relax now! Have a quiet moment in nature. Go!
19:20Okay, inspiration. Find me. Tally-ho.
19:26It's not happening!
19:30Hmm.
19:32Ah!
19:35Oh-ho-ho-ho!
19:37Aw!
19:39Wait!
19:48Yes!
19:49Yes! Yes! Yes!
19:52Inspiration has arrived! Ha-ha! I'm gonna make nature art! I'm gonna make nature art!
20:01Ah, yes. How sweet is that?
20:04Sweeter than the leaf of the myrtle? I don't know. You get the idea.
20:09Hey! You guys like my seascape? Aunt Reva's gonna be so, so surprised. She loves surprises and so do I.
20:15I've been talking about it a lot this episode.
20:17We know how. We know.
20:20Art you can smell! Ah! Let's go to the art show!
20:25Oh, you better hurry, Nature Cat!
20:27Almost time to display our nature art!
20:30Not to worry! My creative juices are overflowing!
20:35It's art show time for the Ronald!
20:39Hello, nature art!
20:47You know, this might just work.
20:56Whoa-ho-ho! Would you look at that!
21:01Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! My nature art can't get any better than this!
21:07Then again, maybe it can!
21:11Ooh! Look at this! Oh, one of these!
21:14This'll do nicely!
21:15Ah, a couple of these! Grab one of those!
21:18Oh, I'm so glad I found this! Beautiful!
21:21Yes, please!
21:24And I thought, Ronald, baby! Just look at those feathers!
21:28They remind me of a rainbow!
21:31While the beauty of nature can disappear in the blink of an eye,
21:34a photograph can make that moment last forever!
21:37That was my inspiration!
21:39Can I get a what?
21:41Yeah, for me, a sort of jumping-off point was,
21:44you know, you can see art, but can you smell it as well?
21:48And what is the dual nature of a berry, an aster flower?
21:53And, um, you know, it smells good.
21:56What inspired me?
21:58Well, it's no surprise, wink-wink.
22:01It was my Aunt Reva, that's what! Right, Aunt Reva?
22:03Oh, I think you, Hal.
22:05But the inspiration for your nature art didn't come from me.
22:09It came from within your imagination.
22:12Yeah, right! What she said. Surprise!
22:15Where's Nature Cat? I was hoping he'd be here.
22:18Never fear! Nature Cat is here!
22:22Tally-ho!
22:23Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
22:28Go, Nature Cat!
22:30Nature Cat, what are you doing?
22:33Watch where you're going, Nature Cat. Look out!
22:36Okay, buddy, no problem. We got ya.
22:38Huh. Sorry I'm late, guys.
22:40I had a little extra inspiration.
22:44Oh, yes, I can see that.
22:46I'd call that a mountain of inspiration.
22:49Once I was quiet in nature, the inspiration just kept coming and coming.
22:54Hold on, please.
22:58Bravo, Nature Cat. It's simply brilliant.
23:03Thank you very much.
23:05We made nature art! We made nature art! We made nature art!
23:12Surprising, isn't it?
23:14Wink, wink.
23:16Nature Cat, Squeaks, Daisy, and Howl are cartoon characters and not real animals.
23:22To keep all of our animal friends safe, check with a grown-up before you bring a pet on your
23:27next nature adventure.
23:30Aha!
23:45For now...
