00:00Help all kids learn and grow with PBS Kids.
00:03Thank you for supporting your PBS station.
00:05Racer the Rescue Raccoon here with a quick word about safety.
00:09If you see a wild animal you think is hurt, stay quiet and find an adult.
00:14Have them call a local veterinarian or wildlife rescue organization for help.
00:18This will keep you and the animals safe.
00:22That's me, Fred the house cat.
00:24When my family leaves for the day, I don't just sit inside watching the world go by.
00:28I become...
00:33Nature Cat! Backyard explorer extraordinaire!
00:39Tally ho! Tally ho!
00:42We're climbing out the trees now. We're swinging through the breeze now.
00:46We're getting muddy knees now. Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat!
00:53So what are we waiting for? We're so excited to explore.
00:57All that nature has in store.
00:59With Nature Cat! Go! Go! Tally ho!
01:01Go! Go! Go! Go! Tally ho!
01:03We're the favorite nature guide. We just can't wait to get outside!
01:08We're climbing through the trees now. We're jumping in the leaves now.
01:12We're getting muddy knees now. We're getting muddy knees now.
01:14With Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat!
01:15Tally ho! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat!
01:17Tally ho!
01:28Who's ready to play? I said who's ready to play? Hello? Anyone want to play? Anyone?
01:40Sorry, man. Can't play now.
01:41Too busy watching our favorite rescue hero, baby.
01:44Racer the Rescue Raccoon!
01:47What-ho! Look, it's a squirrel.
01:50And she's caught in netting. That's not good.
01:52But don't worry, it's Racer to the rescue!
01:58Remember, only an expert like me can do this.
02:01Now it's important to be as quiet as possible.
02:05If I scare this squirrel, she might react and hurt herself even more.
02:11I just need to cut the netting.
02:17And good golly, hello dolly, the squirrel is free!
02:21The squirrel does not appear to be injured in any way,
02:24so she won't need my help at the Animal Center to get better.
02:28There she goes! Back to the wild where she belongs!
02:32Another successful rescue!
02:35Hooray!
02:36And remember, if you ever see a wild animal that needs help,
02:39call an expert like a grown-up!
02:41Or me, Racer the Rescue Raccoon!
02:45See you next time on...
02:47Racer the Rescue!

03:05I want to be an animal rescuer!
03:07Me too!
03:08Me too to a rescuer as well!
03:10Which leaves me to be the hurt wild animal!
03:14Oh, you're a cow?
03:16Yes, I am!
03:17I mean...
03:19Moo!
03:20Okay, well, why do you need rescuing, cow?

04:09Moo!
04:11Again!
04:12Again!
04:12Hey!
04:13How cool would it be to find a real animal that needs rescuing?
04:17Oh, yeah!
04:18Imagine how sweet it would be to be part of racers rescue crew!
04:22Yeah!
04:22That's it!
04:23We're the wild animal rescue crew!
04:27When we hear a sad cry or an injured yelp!
04:30We're the wild animal rescue crew!
04:33First we observe, then we get some help!
04:36Wild animals are like us!
04:39They can get hurt too!
04:41It's true!
04:42When an animal is injured, we know what to do!
04:47Use the beach, and the forest, or anywhere it's due!
04:54If an animal's in trouble, trust the rescue crew!
05:00We're the wild animal rescue crew!
05:02We'll call an expert quickly, no, we just won't wait!
05:06We're the wild animal rescue crew!
05:09An expert who can help rehabilitate!
05:12We'll be there, cause you know we care!
05:15We're the wild animal rescue crew!
05:19Let's do it!
05:20Onward and rescue animals' word!
05:24Stop!
05:25What's wrong, Daisy?
05:27Pretending to rescue animals is one thing,
05:29but if we find a real injured wild animal,
05:32we need to know exactly what to do!
05:35That's why we need
05:36Racer the Rescue Raccoon's Official Rescue Checklist!
05:39Oof, that's a mouthful!
05:41What does it say?
05:42Okay!
05:43Number one, observe the wild animal from a safe distance!
05:46Number two, decide if the animal really needs help,
05:49or will it be okay on its own!
05:51Number three, if the animal needs help, call an expert!
05:54Alright friends, now that we know what to do,
05:57let's go save some wild animals!
06:00Ahem, take two!
06:01Onward!
06:02And rescue animals' word!
06:07What ho!
06:08Check out that little fawn!
06:14You guys, I don't think she needs rescuing.
06:16Then why is she sitting under that bush and not moving?
06:19It says here that fawns stay hidden
06:21when their mothers go out looking for food!
06:24Oh, look!
06:26The fawn's okay!
06:29Yay!
06:33What ho!
06:34That little cardinal sure is fluttering its wings a lot!
06:38Wait, it sounds like it's crying!
06:39Is it crying?
06:40Oh wait, look!
06:41It doesn't need rescuing at all!
06:43It was just learning to fly!
06:45Hooray!
06:47What ho!
06:48What was that?
06:49Now that sounds like an animal crying!
06:52We'd better check it out!
06:53Onward and yonward!
07:01That little baby fox, it's laying on its side!
07:04What's wrong?
07:05And it's trying to get up, but it can't!
07:08And crying!
07:09Oh, why is it crying?
07:13Man, oh man!
07:14Looks like it has a cut on its front paw!
07:17That fox is definitely injured!
07:20Don't worry little fox, I'm coming to help you!
07:24Oh, Hal!
07:25You never approach an injured wild animal, remember?
07:28Oh, right!
07:29But what do we do?
07:30Let's look at the checklist!
07:32It says, if the animal is injured, call an expert!
07:36But who should we call?
07:38Only the greatest animal rescuer in the whole wide world!
07:41Racer the Rescue Raccoon!
07:43Raccoon!
07:44We can really call him?
07:47I guess we just did!
07:49Ha ha!
07:50Did somebody call for a rescue raccoon?
07:53Oh, we did, Mr. Racer, sir!
07:55We found a little fox!
07:57And she has a cut on her paw!
08:00That animal is injured!
08:02Yes siree, Bobby!
08:04No, I'm not Bobby!
08:05Wait, well, I guess I kind of am!
08:07Look, it's me, Hal!
08:08Wink wink!
08:09Well, Hal, you did the right thing by calling me!
08:12That fox kid has a cut on his paw!
08:14And may need our help!
08:16You know what that means!
08:18Yes!
08:19Racer to the restroom!
08:21When you're near an injured wild animal,
08:23you want to keep your voice quiet!
08:26Oh, okay, in that case, Racer to the rescue!
08:36So, what say you, Racer?
08:38Well, sir, we need to move that poor, injured fox someplace safe
08:43so we can help her get better!
08:45And how, pray tell, do we move her?
08:48We just need something to carry her in!
08:51Oh, oh, I have something we can use!
08:54My cheese of the month cup delivery carton!
08:56July was an imported Swiss!
08:58Ooh!
08:59It comes with its own breathing holes!
09:02Perfectamundo!
09:04Look, he's so quiet when he moves toward her!
09:10Great job, Racer!
09:12Shh!
09:13Oh, sorry!
09:14That was very loud!
09:17What's wrong?
09:18What do we do?
09:19This poor fox gets scared and doesn't know what's going on!
09:24It doesn't know we want to help!
09:26Oh, oh!
09:27I have something that might help!
09:29My flower blankie!
09:31I've had it since I was a baby!
09:33It always makes me feel so comfy and cozy!
09:35Hmm...
09:36That's great, Daisy!
09:38Oh, yeah, good thinking, Daze!
09:40Thanks to all of you, this fox is rescued!
09:43Good golly!
09:45Hello, Dolly!
09:46Now I'd better take her back to the rehabilitation center to treat her injury!
09:51But wait!
09:52Will she be okay?
09:53What's going to happen?
09:54Is she going to get better?
09:55Why don't you rescuers come visit her in a few days and see how she's doing?
10:00Oh, yeah!
10:01Oh, yeah!
10:01Great!
10:02We'll do it!
10:03See ya soon, little foxy!
10:07How's the little fox doing, Ray, sir?
10:10The wound on her paw is healing nicely!
10:12Each day seems to be a little better!
10:14And in a few more days, we can release her!
10:17Oh, why?
10:18She looks sad!
10:19Oh, no!
10:20Maybe she needs a friend!
10:21Don't worry, little fox!
10:22You and I can be best pals!
10:24Let's go play!
10:25That's nice of you, Hal!
10:27But it's important that wild animals don't get too used to being around us!
10:30Because they have to go back out in the wild someday!
10:32I know something that may cheer her up!
10:38Oh, yeah!
10:39It's certainly relaxing!
10:41I think the little fox likes your music!
10:45Keep playing, Nature Cat!
11:05Oh, yeah!
11:08Oh, yeah!
11:09Oh, yeah!
11:11Oh, yeah!
11:12Oh, yeah!
11:13Well, that's it, gang!
11:14The fox is rescued and rehabilitated, so it's time to let her back out in the wild!
11:20Wait!
11:21Maybe!
11:21Just maybe!
11:22Could we keep her?
11:24As a pet?
11:25Oh, she really is so, so, so, so cute!
11:27I'm afraid not, gang!
11:29You see, this little fox is a wild animal!
11:31And where do wild animals belong?
11:34In the wild!
11:35In the wild!
11:36Oh, we understand!
11:38Race her the rescue raccoon!
11:43Bye, little fox!
11:45Good luck, little fox!
11:46Stay safe!
11:47Send a postcard, please!
11:49We'll never forget you!
11:51Stay wild, child!
12:00Now, because you all did such great work, you each get one of these!
12:07Sweet!
12:08Oh, I love it!
12:09What is it?
12:10Awesome!
12:11This is the best hat!
12:12From this day forward, you are all official Racer the Rescue Raccoon Wild Animal Rescuers!
12:20We're the Wild Animal Rescue Crew!
12:24Woo-hoo!
12:27Nature of Dreams
12:31Onward and down the hillward!
12:34Oh, yeah, man!
12:36What she said and she said, Bibby!
12:43Hello?
12:44Hello, Squeaks!
12:46But I did see you all morning, so it might be a tad bit late to say hello.
12:49I didn't say hello, Nature Cat!
12:51Hey!
12:52Hello?
12:53Who's saying hello?
12:55Hello?
12:56Is it you, Grass, saying hello?
12:58Hi, Grass!
12:59Hello, Grass!
13:00Hi!
13:01Is that you?
13:02Nature Cat?
13:03It's Daisy!
13:04Is that you?
13:05This is crazy!
13:07Oh!
13:07It's my phone!
13:09I must have accidentally pocket-dialed someone!
13:12Oh!
13:12It's Sadie!
13:13Hi, Sadie!
13:14Whoa!
13:15What happened?
13:16No, Sadie!
13:18You got coned!
13:19Yeah!
13:19Hey, guys!
13:20I hurt my left paw and I was licking it like crazy, so the vet put the cone on!
13:25Can't do anything but sit in the apartment until it comes off in four weeks!
13:29Crazy, right?
13:30Ugh!
13:31That's just horrible!
13:33Ugh!
13:33What a bummer, Sadie!
13:34Especially with summer just getting started!
13:37Ugh!
13:37This stinks!
13:39A total bummer, Squeaks!
13:40Before I got hurt, I was getting super interested in bugs and birds!
13:44So I'd go out in the nature playground and watch them!
13:47Who doesn't love bugs and birds?
13:49I know I do!
13:50Yeah, but that's how I got injured!
13:51I saw a ruby-throated hummingbird!
13:54I ran over to look!
13:55I lost my balance and kapow!
13:57Hurt my paw!
13:58Now I'm out on my balcony trying to bug and birdwatch with my binoculars!
14:02And it's not so easy!
14:04Told you!
14:05Sir Galahad?
14:07Sir Galahad?
14:08Uh, bonjour!
14:10Unfortunately, I have neither the time nor energy for such pleasantries!
14:14I am extremely busy with my hamster wheel!
14:21Yeah, well, he's never my joke!
14:24I just wish there were more places in the city to see bugs and birds!
14:28Especially a closer place so I could get a better look while my paw heals!
14:32I'll never see a hummingbird from up here!
14:35Even with my binoculars!
14:38Oh!
14:38Well, it's time for my afternoon nap!
14:41Vets orders!
14:42Crazy, right?
14:43See you guys!
14:43Bye Sadie!
14:45Have a good nap!
14:46Be safe!
14:47Send a postcard!
14:48How's she gonna sleep with that thing?
14:50Man, oh man!
14:51I feel bad for Sadie!
14:53Me too!
14:54I wish Sadie was feeling better so she could go out into nature and see all the birds and
14:58bugs that she wants!
15:00Yeah, it's too bad we can't, you know, like bring nature to her, you know, while she's
15:04healing!
15:05That's it, Hal!
15:06You're a genius!
15:07Yes, yes, yes!
15:08Genius!
15:08So true!
15:09So very, very, very true!
15:10But one minor question from this genius, why am I a genius again?
15:15I forget!
15:15Bring nature to Sadie!
15:17Bring the bugs and the birds to her balcony!
15:20Maybe we can actually do that!
15:22Hmm, we were able to make her a nature playground last year!
15:27Maybe there's something we can do and surprise her while she naps!
15:30So sweet!
15:31But to do this, we'll need Sir Galahad's help to let us into the apartment!
15:35Yeah, good luck with that, Daze!
15:39You again?
15:40Yes, Galahad, we're calling for a favor!
15:42I doubt I am willing to be of much assistance!
15:46Come on, Galahad!
15:48Will you let us in while Sadie's taking a nap?
15:50We need help figuring out a way to bring bugs and birds to her, but don't have much time!
15:55Okay, I'll take a brief hiatus from my workout to open the door and let you in.
16:00But as far as me helping you beyond that, impossible!
16:03Thank you, Sir Galahad, for your incredible generosity!
16:08Ugh!
16:09Okay guys, we're good to go!
16:11Whatever happens, we will not let Sadie down!
16:15Onward and Sadieward!
16:26Oh, come in, if you must!
16:29Oh, we must, Galahad, we must!
16:42Good luck!
16:44You shall need it!
16:50Sadie's right, you really can't see much from up here!
16:53So, just to recap for ourselves, and our viewers, how can we get bugs and birds like the ones on
16:58the playground to come up here to Sadie's balcony?
17:01Nature Cat, I have just the idea!
17:04I love your confidence, how my pal!
17:07What are you thinking?
17:08A bugs and birds balcony party!
17:13Welcome all bugs and birds!
17:17Come on, it's a party for you!
17:22Why aren't the bugs and birds coming over?
17:24It's their party!
17:28You guys, Sadie will be waking up from her nap soon!
17:31What can we do?
17:33Why won't those animals come here?
17:35If you build it, they will come!
17:38If we build what, Squeaks, who will come?
17:40Nature Cat, I didn't say that!
17:42Man, that didn't even sound like me!
17:44If you build it, they will come!
17:46Who said that?
17:47I have absolutely no idea!
17:50What should we build and who will come?
17:53What does this mysterious voice mean?
17:55Beats me, man!
17:56Hmm, if we build it, they will come!
18:02Maybe the voice is on to something!
18:05If we build a nice place here on the balcony for birds and bugs, maybe they'll come!
18:09Yes, yes, the voice is right!
18:12Even though it's a little weird, but I don't know, I'll go with it!
18:15Well, how do we build this place?
18:17We gotta make it a place where a living thing can visit!
18:20It should have all the things it needs, like food, water, shelter, space!
18:25Yes, yes!
18:26We should build a nice place where birds and bugs can get food and rest!
18:30Right here on this balcony!
18:32A place where Sadie can enjoy so much glorious nature!
18:36Hmm, I don't know that you can't nut so much space!
18:40Here on the balcony, I'm not seeing it, man!
18:43But this is for smaller critters!
18:44We should be able to do it!
18:46Look!
18:47Guys, don't you remember the butterfly garden?
18:49We just needed to make sure we had all the things butterflies needed to survive there!
18:54I'm sorry, I-I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but we did all of that in
18:58the backyard!
18:59This is a balcony, it's different!
19:01This might be hard, but I just know it's possible!
19:04For Sadie, to the star!
19:07Tally-ho!
19:21I hereby proclaim to all bugs and birds, this balcony is ready for you!
19:33Man, oh man, now what?
19:36If you build it, they will come!
19:39Uh, we already did that?
19:41We built a nice place for animals to get food and rest!
19:44So why aren't they coming?
19:46Oh, right, my bad!
19:49Whoa, where did that come from?
19:51What is it?
19:52It's Sadie's nature notebook!
19:55With Sadie's notes!
19:57About the bugs and birds she's seen in the neighborhood!
19:59Ah!
20:00Look at all these butterflies!
20:02Ladybugs, honeybees, bumblebees, moths!
20:05Wow!
20:05And chickadees, wrens, ruby-throated hummingbirds, ruby-throated hummingbirds!
20:09Hey, yeah!
20:10Sadie's notebook can tell us what kinds of animals to attract since they're already in the neighborhood!
20:15But how?
20:17Turn the page!
20:19Ooh, that mysterious voice sure is helpful!
20:21Check it out!
20:22Sadie's notes show where in the neighborhood she saw these bugs and birds!
20:26Oh, she saw a honeybee on a flower that was on a strawberry plant!
20:30Oh, and a wren eating a bug!
20:32Now we know what critters we should focus on!
20:35The food they eat and the places they take shelter!
20:38Guys, maybe to attract local birds and bugs, we should put plants out here that grow in this neighborhood!
20:43But can you even grow plants on a balcony?
20:46Will rain reach the plants?
20:48Will we get enough sun?
20:49What about the wind?
20:50Oh, so many questions!
20:52Good point, Squeaks!
20:53Let's do a quick balcony okay for growing plants check!
20:58It can get windy!
21:00That must be why the other plants fell down!
21:02Then we'll need sturdy plants in heavier pots so they don't get blown over by the wind!
21:07We're gonna need water for the plants and the animals, but we can't just wait for it to rain!
21:11Copy that!
21:12So we need hardy plants that don't need to be watered all the time!
21:15Hmm, not a lot of tall buildings around to shade the balcony!
21:19Good observation, Nature Cat!
21:21So sunlight is not a problem!
21:23Looks like we should be able to grow plants here!
21:25Let's also hang a couple of plants that have vines to create shelter in the corners!
21:29And maybe if we put the flowering current over there, a bird might build a nest next spring!
21:35I think we're in pretty sweet shape now!
21:37It's time to build our habitat! Tally-ho!
21:47I must say, this looks amazing!
21:51Sure does, Nature Cat! It looks all nature-y and habitat-y and all at the same time!
21:55I can't wait to hear what Sadie thinks!
21:58What? This is crazy!
22:01Sadie!
22:02When did you guys get here? How did you do this?
22:06Do you like it?
22:07Like it?
22:08I love it! It's like being in the nature playground!
22:12Hey, do you think any birds or bugs will come visit?
22:18Hey!
22:18It's a butterfly! And a bumblebee! Here! Right here!
22:23That's crazy!
22:24If we build it, they will come!
22:27We couldn't have done it without the help from that deep, mysterious voice!
22:31Why, thank you!
22:32Wait!
22:33Sagawa Head?
22:34Oh no, you were so helpful!
22:37That hamster's crazy, right?
22:39Helpful, schmelpful!
22:40I, uh, well...
22:42I love nature, too!
22:45We did it, gang!

22:53Hello!
22:55Daisy?
22:56Whoops! I pocket-dialed someone again!
22:59Oh, it's Sadie! Hi, Sadie!
23:01Aw, Sadie, you got your cone off! Yeah!
23:04Sure did!
23:05Sadie, your balcony looks so sweet!
23:09Sure does! And check it out!
23:12A roomy-throated elephant bird!
23:14Yup! And look! A neighbor saw what you built, and now there are so many balconies that have habitats, too!
23:21Crazy, right?
23:22Nature is quite magical, isn't it?
23:25It certainly is, Nature Cat!
23:27Well, this is America and I'd
23:27That's what I've bearded!
