00:00Go Wild, Wild, Wild Rats!
00:06What? What? Where? What?
00:09That was a wild wake-up call.
00:15Martin! Chris! What happened?
00:17Something spun my hammock.
00:20Like her!
00:21Don't look all innocent. I know it was you, girl.
00:25A giraffe? No, look at her!
00:28She's just out for a morning stroll.
00:30She's the only one tall enough to do it.
00:33Yeah, that's the tallest animal in the world right there.
00:36Up to five meters tall.
00:38That's taller than three grown-up people.
00:41Wow! Just her neck is much longer than I am.
00:44Why do they have such long necks anyway?
00:47Scientists are still working on the answer to that one.
00:53There we go! All finished!
00:56These new retractable windows I installed will give us some fresh air.
01:01You know, I bet I know why giraffes have long necks.
01:04To reach tasty leaves high in the trees.
01:07Oh, yeah? Well, I heard it had something to do with how they fight each other.
01:11Kinda like elk have big antlers for fighting.
01:13Neck fighting? No way! Who fights with their neck?
01:17Ugh! Hey!
01:19Well, why would they need to get leaves up high when there's much more food lowered down?
01:23Like grass and bushes.
01:25Hm.
01:26Ow! What?
01:28Hm?
01:33Chris, Martin, you're the creature experts.
01:36Tell Cokie she's wrong on this one.
01:38Tell Aviva she's telling a tall tale about giraffes.
01:42Well, actually, it's not really that simple.
01:45Why don't we find out for ourselves?
01:47We'll figure out the mystery of the planet's longest neck with an experiment.
01:53Do you have a giraffe disc we can use?
01:55Oh, right here.
01:56Of course not.
01:58I can't just make this stuff out of thin air, you know.
02:00Sorry.
02:01Didn't mean to be a pain in the neck.
02:03Get it?
02:04Neck, giraffe.
02:07Hey!
02:08Well, I thought it was a good one.
02:09Okay, so we'll get out there and figure out what the giraffe's long neck is all about
02:13while you guys work on the giraffe suit.
02:16Sounds good.
02:19Whew, it's good to get out of there.
02:21Yeah, it was getting kind of tense.
02:25Wow, for the world's tallest animals, giraffes are sure hard to find.
02:29I know.
02:30We found endangered frogs that are easier to spot.
02:33There's gotta be some giraffe around here somewhere.
02:40Oh, hello.
02:41Martin, we found a giraffe.
02:43What?
02:44Where?
02:45Right there.
02:47Oh, there.
02:50You mean he found us.
02:54First things first, if we're going to understand what a giraffe's neck is all about,
02:58we've got to know how it's built.
03:00Great.
03:01Let's get a measurement.
03:02All set, Chris.
03:05Two meters.
03:07That's taller than most people.
03:09A neck as long as a person.
03:11That's incredible.
03:13Whoa!
03:14Whoa!
03:16Whoa!
03:17Whoa!
03:19Just a little tied up here.
03:22Necktie.
03:23Huh, that's a good name.
03:24Mind if we call you, Necktie?
03:27Hey guys, are you up?
03:31Hey, we're burning daylight here.
03:33We've got new animals to meet.
03:35And to name.
03:36And to learn about.
03:37And new creature powers to collect.
03:40Hmm.
03:40We may need a little help waking them up.
03:43Any requests?
03:45How about my favorite theme song?
03:47Right.
03:48Oh, this is going to be good.
03:50Oh, this is going to be good.
03:53Whoa!
03:55Whoa!
03:56Whoa!
03:58Whoa!
04:00Whoa!
04:09We didn't order a wake-up call.
04:12You guys are out of control.
04:14No way!
04:15We're in total control of our rainforest creature powers.
04:18And on a roll.
04:19Check it out.
04:20We've got harpy, eagle, spider monkey, golden orb spider, basilisk, jaguar.
04:24The only question is what new animals we're going to check out.
04:27And what powers we'd like to collect today.
04:30You know what I'd like?
04:34Some more sleep!
04:36Oh, come on, Cokie.
04:37What are you talking about?
04:39We're rocking it in the rainforest.
04:40There's no creature power we can't handle.
04:43Don't get too full of yourselves.
04:45Because when you do, nature always seems to teach you a lesson.
04:49I don't believe it.
04:50It's a green-breasted mango hummingbird.
04:53That is cool.
04:55A hummingbird?
04:56I love hummingbirds.
04:58Ay, qué bonito.
04:59How colorful and cute he is.
05:02Like a flying flower.
05:04The most beautiful bird I've ever seen.
05:07And check out his flying action.
05:09A hummingbird can do things most other birds can't do.
05:12Most birds can only move forwards by flapping his wings up and down.
05:17But a hummingbird can hover, flying in place.
05:20Even fly backwards.
05:24We've got to figure out how he does that.
05:26Already on it.
05:32Are you getting this, Cokie?
05:34His wings are beating a hundred times per second.
05:37Humans can only flap arms four times per second.
05:43With those hummingbirds flapping at a hundred beats per second, that's too fast for our eyes to see them.
05:48Can you play it back in slow-mo?
05:50Done.
05:52Look at that.
05:54Now that's different.
05:55His wings aren't just going up and down like other birds.
05:58They're moving in a figure eight.
06:01That's it.
06:02That's what must give him those unique flying powers of the hummingbird.
06:06Exactly.
06:07The figure eight pattern pushes air away in all four directions.
06:11That's what enables him to float in the air.
06:13Hovering.
06:16His flying is out of this world.
06:18Hey, that's it.
06:19Out of this world flying.
06:21Spaceship.
06:22That's what I'm going to name you.
06:24Spaceship.
06:24Spaceship.
06:25Oh.
