00:07Museums are famously full of stuff the British stole, but tonight at the Tasmanian Museum
00:12and Art Gallery I've flicked that on its head and well, I've stolen a famous Brit.
00:16Hi Alan Davies.
00:18Huh.
00:18Okay.
00:19Not very talkative, huh?
00:20That's okay.
00:21Let's hope he can wriggle free in time for a discussion I've got planned about animal
00:25vaginas tonight at the museum.
00:48Hello, I'm Alex Lee coming to you from Lutruita and welcome to the only quiz show filmed after
00:54dark in a real museum where it's not just the artifacts that are priceless, but also the
00:58guests.
00:59Playing for the honor of having one of their own personal treasures put on display right
01:04here at TMAG.
01:05Can you please welcome Teagan Higginbotham and her original artwork.
01:11Wow.
01:12The newly liberated Alan Davies and his Voodoo Dolls with an intriguing folder of something.
01:20It's Zoe Coombs-Marc.
01:22It's Zoe Coombs-Marc.
01:23And finally, a stuffed toy owned by Brett Blake.
01:31We'll find out more about our guests and their wonderful items later, but first, let's put
01:36a label on it.
01:42Labels.
01:43They're terrible for those of us who can't handle commitment, but vital for those of
01:47us who can't understand art.
01:48I'm going to present to you a real object from the museum's collection.
01:52Two of our players have been given a label for it, but no one knows which is true and
01:57which one is made up.
01:58Our other two players have to decide which is the correct label.
02:02Are we ready for our first object?
02:09Brett, let's put this microscope under the microscope.
02:13Let's.
02:13This is Mayor Dunnell's microscope, 1835.
02:19It was a great year.
02:21The microscope belongs to Hobart's second mayor, Robinson Dunnell.
02:26He brought this microscope using municipal funds.
02:31I do not know what that word means.
02:33But it sounds pretty cool.
02:36It means council funds.
02:37Council funds.
02:38Yeah, yeah.
02:39He also used council funds to buy livestock and bought his daughter some porcelain dolls.
02:46And then the company he bought this microscope off actually scammed him.
02:51Oh.
02:51Because he bought this microscope originally and he requested it to be made out of pure gold.
02:56But when it rocked up, it was brass.
02:58We've all been there.
02:59We've all been there, brother.
03:01I don't think you can clarify that.
03:03But was he using the municipal funds to buy the dolls for his daughter?
03:06Because that is dodgy.
03:07Yes.
03:08Yeah.
03:08No, he used that to buy things.
03:12Wow.
03:12Yes.
03:13All right.
03:13Does your label say something else, Tegan?
03:15Yeah.
03:16It absolutely does.
03:17This is, in fact, William Valentine's microscope.
03:23Circa 1831, as a matter of fact, an even better year.
03:27He was a surgeon and a botanical enthusiast.
03:30And this was described as the finest microscope in the colony.
03:34And as you can see it, it's a pretty fine microscope.
03:37Now, this is what's special about this.
03:39He was out walking one day and he discovered the bones of a dead bush ranger.
03:44But that wasn't the only thing there.
03:46On top of the bones of the dead bush ranger, there was some wombat poo.
03:52On top of the wombat poo, though, there was a moss, a new moss that Bill was able to identify.
03:58It was growing on that wombat poo.
04:00It must have stayed there for a while.
04:01As we know, wombat poo is square.
04:03It's not rolling.
04:03You know a lot about poo.
04:05That rules.
04:07But she really knows it as shit.
04:08Is it?
04:11And that moss is called pink stink dung moss.
04:15And that is all completely true.
04:18All right.
04:18Alan and Zoe, which label do you think is the correct one?
04:22Does this microscope belong to a dodgy mare embezzling funds or a botanical man having fun?
04:28I think it's a tall order to ask for a solid gold microscope.
04:32I mean, I like the sound of him.
04:34Yeah.
04:34I want a microscope and I want a solid gold microscope.
04:37That's a lot of gold to make.
04:39I mean, he might have asked for that, though.
04:40It's not that he was going to get that.
04:42I can believe the embezzling municipal funds.
04:46I'm struggling with the poo, the moss on the poo on the bones.
04:49I'm struggling with the bush ranger.
04:51Feels too interesting.
04:52You're either a convict or a bush ranger, you know, if you'd come over here on a boat.
04:56Isn't that kind of the thing?
04:57Yeah.
04:58Or you were embezzling municipal funds.
05:00Yeah.
05:02And asking for eccentric things because the power's gone to your head.
05:06Yeah.
05:06Solid gold microscopes, porcelain dolls.
05:08Maybe his previous microscope was lead, which also went to his head.
05:12Yes.
05:12Yes.
05:12It could be.
05:14I'm leaning towards that one.
05:16I think it's that one.
05:17It was Mayor Donald.
05:18The municipal funds.
05:19The municipal funds.
05:21The embezzlement of the municipal funds.
05:23All right.
05:24Well, what do you think, Zoe?
05:25What are you going to go?
05:26Are you going to Tegan's story that it was William Valentine's microscope?
05:30God, the wife on the wild side.
05:32Or was it the corrupt Mayor Donald's microscope?
05:34I think it's the corrupt mayor.
05:35All right.
05:36And what about you, Alan?
05:37Well, now I'm disinclined to agree.
05:39Yeah?
05:39Just my tendency.
05:42So even though I think it's Brett, I'm going to go this way.
05:46Yes.
05:47I like playing the game.
05:47Go with the one action.
05:48Well, let's find out.
05:49Let's put a label on it.
05:56Yes, Zoe!
05:57There you go.
05:58It is William Valentine's microscope.
06:04Yes, he was a botanical enthusiast, Dr William Valentine.
06:07Teagan's label was the right one, all the way down to pink stink dung moss,
06:12which is a real name for a type of moss that grows on animal poo.
06:16The dead bush ranger was escaped convict John Fisher.
06:19He was a real shady character, but as we know, that's great for moss.
06:23How did they know he was a bush ranger?
06:25He was holding a sign that said, I am a bush ranger.
06:28He had two double-barrelled guns and pistols by his side.
06:32Wow.
06:32So that was a bit of a giveaway.
06:33As for our disgraced mare and his solid gold microscope, Hobart didn't have a mare until 1853.
06:40So, so sad.
06:41All those ribbons, but no body with the big scissors to cut them.
06:44Alan, two points for you.
06:45And Zoe, no points for you.
06:49Shall we see our next object?
06:59Zoe, what are we looking at here?
07:02We are looking at a King Island emu feather.
07:05Ooh.
07:06King Island emu was a, it was an emu.
07:09It was half the height of a regular emu and only found in Tassie.
07:14It was hunted to extinction by sealers who saw them as massive rotisserie chooks.
07:21The French explorers took two of these home, two of these emus home as a gift to Napoleon's
07:27wife, Empress Josephine.
07:30And those two emus then outlived the rest of their species.
07:34So this feather is from one of the very last King Island enus.
07:40Wow.
07:41Ooh.
07:43What a bite.
07:44That was fantastic.
07:45What does your label say, Alan?
07:47Well, this actually is a feather from a hat that was gifted to Queen Elizabeth II in 1984 during a
07:57visit to Tasmania.
07:58She loved it in Tasmania.
08:01And it was made from the feathers of an albino peacock at Launceston's cataract gorge.
08:08And the gift made news because Prince Philip pulled a feather from the hat and pretended
08:14to sign the milliner's autograph book.
08:17And onlookers said that he remarked, lovely, an old bird for an old bird.
08:25Brett and Tegan, which label sounds like the right one to you?
08:28Is this the feather of the last King Island emu or a gift for the queen?
08:32I've seen emu feathers before.
08:34Like I accidentally hit one on a dirt bike.
08:36It was like...
08:37Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:38And it survived though, so it's fine.
08:41But they're a lot bigger.
08:42But it makes sense there was an island one because sometimes like if you get like kangaroos and they go
08:47onto an island,
08:47they're always like they're always a little bit smaller.
08:49Like the miniature version because of food and stuff and maybe a shortage.
08:52I still feel like it's gonna...
08:55I'm gonna go with, I think, Zoe on this one.
08:57It looks more like an emu feather and smaller makes sense.
09:02And what about you, Tegan?
09:03I think I'm gonna have to go with peacock feather.
09:07I think it was a peacock feather too.
09:09Oh, yeah.
09:10You're leaving me hanging in.
09:11I sort of don't.
09:13Oh, no!
09:14Thank you, Alan.
09:15Thank you for having my back.
09:16Let's put a label on it.
09:23Oh, boo!
09:25Yes!
09:27This is an emu feather.
09:30I know.
09:30From the last surviving King Island emu, it was owned by Napoleon's wife, Empress Josephine.
09:36Guess she really did love short kings.
09:40Empress Josephine kept this pair of emus in her garden before offloading them to a zoo.
09:45And so this is the only known feather of this subspecies in Australia.
09:49And the museum has brought it out especially for us, which is really exciting.
09:54It's normally considered too precious for display.
09:56Wow.
09:57Think you could get DNA from it and make a tiny emu?
10:01Oh, I wonder.
10:02I mean, they are...
10:03I've seen it in films.
10:04They do try and do that.
10:05Some other things.
10:05And as for the Queen being presented an albino peacock feather, royal watchers would know
10:11that Queen Elizabeth didn't tour Australia in 1984, but in 1988.
10:15So you can put your complaint pens down.
10:18We know.
10:18So at the end of the first round, two points each for Brett and Alan, and Tegan and Zoe
10:25yet to score.
10:32Whoever wins tonight gets their own personal treasure displayed at TMAG.
10:37Now Alan, you've brought along a voodoo doll of yourself.
10:40Yes, I have.
10:42This is a voodoo doll.
10:45Now, this was created as a prop in a television series I did.
10:50Short-lived television series.
10:51Rightly, it was terrible.
10:53And in which I played a character whose wife becomes very angry with him
10:58and makes a voodoo doll and sticks pins in.
11:01And the prop department, what's interesting about this voodoo doll,
11:04is the prop department quite completely needlessly added an extraordinary...
11:11LAUGHTER
11:13Get him a big swan, hell yeah!
11:16So, yeah, that's...
11:17I think there's only one place for this, and it's a museum in Tasmania.
11:22Yeah.
11:23You know, it's time the Brits gave something back.
11:26LAUGHTER
11:30All right.
11:31No, I wanted to say, you had somebody sticking pins...
11:34Because you had somebody sticking pins in your head.
11:36Like, how's your health been since this little guy showed up?
11:39Well, all I can tell you is that the show was cancelled after one series.
11:43LAUGHTER
11:43And that was without the penis being revealed.
11:46LAUGHTER
11:47All right, I'm going to have to report that doll to HR,
11:50so you are going to have to put him away for now, Alan.
11:53Bye!
11:54Bye!
11:55Bye, Alan!
11:56One of these four might just have an item displayed here at TMAG,
12:01so if you don't want to give up your object,
12:03you better start getting some things wrong.
12:08APPLAUSE
12:14Who's ever wanted to sneak around in a museum after dark?
12:18This round, we give our contestants a chance to do just that
12:22and find an item that best fits the description on my card.
12:26You've all been given a torch and today we are asking you all to find
12:31an object that would impress a 14-year-old.
12:35OK?
12:37Once you find it, like a teenager, take a selfie with it
12:40and then come back to the desk.
12:41I'll award two points to the item I think would most impress a 14-year-old.
12:46You have your torch, you've got your phones.
12:48Now get out of my sight, you rotten kids.
12:50Go, go, go!
12:54Off they go!
12:57OK.
13:02Something to impress a 14-year-old.
13:05I don't know, do they have any skibbity in here?
13:08What are they like?
13:09A 14-year-old boy, I have a 14-year-old,
13:11so he was like this.
13:14Actually alive, but they freeze when people come in.
13:19This is just like a whoopee cushion, but better.
13:22Like, imagine your parents pulling you aside to have a conversation,
13:25I don't know, about smoking or social media,
13:27and you're like, sure, I'll chat with you,
13:28but you have to sit right there.
13:30That's in the list, that's in the list.
13:35Jesus Christ, you dick!
13:38What would...
13:40This is exactly what 14-year-old Brett would want.
13:43You could pack that and just rip a massive bong out of the thing,
13:46but maybe, maybe that's not appropriate for a 14-year-old.
13:50Your graffiti?
13:51Oh.
13:53Well, I guess 14-year-olds are hornsy.
13:57This is a blubber press, so the pressing of blubber.
14:01I don't think he would like blubber.
14:04Oh, man, imagine having that.
14:06I mean, a 14-year-old probably wouldn't like that,
14:09but you could definitely sell it on eBay and get, like, a tech deck
14:12or a fidget spinner or something sick.
14:14Keep moving all the stuff here.
14:16Are you f***ing television?
14:17I'm f***ing television.
14:19Just being unsupervised in here, mate,
14:21inner outer-suburban shithead just wants to steal everything.
14:24What do I need with giant shells? Nothing, but I want them now.
14:27Yeah, I think this is the one.
14:35Hell, yeah. That's the one.
14:37All right, come back to the desk.
14:40Come back to the desk.
14:42That was good.
14:44It was creepy.
14:45You made it back.
14:47Come down, sit down.
14:48I can't wait to see what you've all got.
14:50All right, now you're all back,
14:51let's see how in tune you all are with the youth.
14:55Tegan, let's take a look at the selfie you took.
15:00Look, clearly, unlike the youth, not amazing at taking selfies,
15:03but, yeah, I just thought that the raven-esque bird
15:06had something kind of emo-ish about it,
15:08and all the 14-year-olds I know,
15:10they're doing all the eyeliner and the ripped stockings.
15:12Oh, are they?
15:12Yeah, it's wonderful.
15:13They're doing the exact thing we all did.
15:14It's actually quite depressing when you think about it,
15:16but I just thought this worked.
15:18This is actually a black currawong.
15:20Oh, well, that's upsetting.
15:21It's not emo at all.
15:22Yeah, there are two other types of species,
15:24the grey currawong and the pied currawong,
15:26but that one is definitely the most goth.
15:28It is the most goth.
15:29Yeah, okay.
15:30But the pied currawong,
15:31that's the one that the kids are going to follow.
15:34All right, what about you, Zoe?
15:35What did you take a selfie with?
15:37I took a selfie with a bandicoot.
15:41There it is.
15:42Oh, I'm pretty excited about it.
15:43I know what the 14-year-olds are into.
15:45You just put a key ring in that, better than a labubu.
15:50Nature's labubu.
15:50It was an eastern-barred bandicoot,
15:53and a fact about them is that their pregnancies last 12 days.
15:57Aww.
15:57So there you go.
15:58Nice and short.
15:59Good on him.
15:59Get him out.
16:00Okay, Brett, let's see your selfie.
16:02All right.
16:03I have no idea what the hell that is.
16:06The lady told me, but she also said,
16:08don't touch it.
16:09Um, but I thought it's like a big horn,
16:12so, like, you know, you're 14 years old.
16:14I mean, you can't do it for legal reasons,
16:16but when you turn 18 eventually,
16:18imagine chugging a beer out of that bad boy.
16:21Just, whoa.
16:22And, Brett, that is actually a Tasmanian shooting trophy.
16:26Cool.
16:26Yeah, it was won by Corporal G. W. Miller
16:29at the Empire shoot in 1887.
16:31The museum couldn't tell me a lot more about Corporal Miller,
16:34but they did say, and I quote,
16:36it was a bitch to carry.
16:38Well, that's beautiful.
16:40Thank you, Brett.
16:40And finally, Alan, you said you have a 14-year-old yourself.
16:44I do.
16:44Oh, my God.
16:45This is a blizzard mask.
16:47Oh.
16:4914-year-olds are continually blushing.
16:51They don't want to be looked at.
16:52He would love a blizzard mask.
16:56We wouldn't even know it was him.
16:57He could come and go.
16:59Fantastic.
17:00I think this is perfect.
17:01I mean, I seriously,
17:02I would make an offer for that for him.
17:07It's true.
17:07They don't ever want to be sort of perceived 14-year-olds.
17:09Don't want to be looked at, seen, recognised, pointed out.
17:13Do you reckon he's loving that you pointed him out on national TV?
17:17Yes, that is a blizzard mask.
17:19It was worn by an Antarctic researcher in 1956.
17:23Well, I texted my 14-year-old niece to help me judge,
17:26but she just wrote back cringe.
17:28So I guess I'll have to channel my own inner teenager
17:31and I'm going to give one point for you, Zoe,
17:35because I just love the little native Australian labubu.
17:38Hi.
17:38I'm going to make millions.
17:40And getting the full points, Alan, two points,
17:43because I think you really know your teenager.
17:45Wow.
17:45Two points for Alan.
17:46Well done, everyone.
17:55A reminder that if you win tonight,
17:57you don't just enjoy the pleasure of winning,
17:59you might also get to confuse some visiting tourists.
18:02Now, Zoe, are you using TMAG as a publicity opportunity?
18:06Well, when you see what I've got, it's almost reverse publicity.
18:09OK.
18:10Yeah.
18:10So my object is this folder.
18:15What's in here is my headshots from when I wanted to be an actor
18:20when I was 18.
18:21So you can see there's this one here where I'm 18 there,
18:25although I look like I'm 65 and I work in a bank.
18:29That doesn't even look like you.
18:32It is me and I can be thoughtful.
18:34I can be a girl next door.
18:38Or I could be one of the Beatles.
18:42Wow.
18:43Oh, my goodness.
18:44Oh, that is good.
18:45So, yeah, I kind of want this in the museum
18:47because I don't really want it in my house anymore.
18:51Well, one of these items will be on display,
18:53meaning something fascinating and historic in this museum
18:56will be removed.
18:57That's right, we've got a one-in-one-out policy here.
18:59So you may win, but the museum could lose.
19:09Question for the panel.
19:11They say good things come in threes
19:12and kangaroos have three of me.
19:15What am I?
19:18Alan.
19:20You're a vagina.
19:24God, you seem to be focusing...
19:26I'm actually more than a vagina.
19:28Oh, yeah, no, I'm so sorry.
19:30You're very in the pelvis area today.
19:32You've got the slong, you're a vagina guy.
19:35Oh, I've come around all the other side of the world
19:37to get cancelled.
19:39Well, it is a penal colony.
19:43It is correct.
19:45How did you know this?
19:45Well, it just...
19:46That has come up on QR.
19:48That was like episode one.
19:50The things that come up on QR is I don't remember them
19:53until I get triggered on another panel show.
19:57But, yeah, I vaguely remember that about kangaroos.
20:00Well, you're going to enjoy our next guest
20:02because we're about to learn more than we ever thought
20:05we wanted to know about animal vaginas
20:07because it's time for Nerd Alert.
20:14Can you please welcome ecologist Dr. Tiana Pertel.
20:21And our complimentary gift.
20:23Vaginas for everyone.
20:26Resents.
20:27And you're a vagina expert.
20:30I have been called that, yes.
20:32I've got a question for a friend.
20:35Where would the clitoris be?
20:37Well, that is an excellent question.
20:39And I actually have a clitoris on the table,
20:42but there's a question about it later, so you're going to have to wait.
20:44It's an interesting area.
20:45How did you get into that?
20:47Yes.
20:48Well, I moved to Tasmania to do a PhD
20:51in reproductive ecology and physiology.
20:53In the literature as I was writing up my thesis,
20:56I noticed there was this quite gendered, biased language in the way
21:02that the literature was describing female animals,
21:05and that was describing them as quite passive, inferior, subordinate,
21:10and basically boring and not worth studying.
21:13And having spent a lot of years watching female animals out in the wild,
21:16that didn't really resonate with what I'd seen.
21:19And people love it.
21:20I think there's a lot of righteous indignation from half of the population
21:24that this has been ignored and swept under the rug by science.
21:29And now let's see how much our guests know about vaginas
21:32and female reproductive parts,
21:34because Dr Tiana has prepared some questions for you.
21:37Why did you look at me when you said that, Alice?
21:39No.
21:40Well, I'm not going to look at Brett.
21:42No.
21:42What?
21:45There.
21:47All right.
21:48What do female red-backed waterstrider genitals
21:50and Captain America both have in common?
21:54They're a marvel.
21:56Yay.
21:59True, but not the answer I was looking for.
22:02That's 10 points.
22:03Alan.
22:03Do they carry a shield?
22:04Some sort of protective thing?
22:06Yes.
22:07I'm really hitting my stride with a genitalia now.
22:09Yes.
22:10We made it just for you.
22:12So the female red-backed waterstriders have a genital shield
22:16that prevents the males from mating with her
22:18unless she opens her genital shield.
22:22So this is the ovipositor.
22:23So the sperm get deposited right here.
22:26But the males have developed this counter strategy.
22:31The male will get on top of the female when mating,
22:34and he wants her to open her genital shield.
22:37If she doesn't want to do it,
22:39he'll start doing this threatening tap dance,
22:41and that draws the predators underwater.
22:45And because she's on the bottom,
22:47she's at risk of getting eaten.
22:48So he's basically threatening her to open her genital shield,
22:51and she can either do it or call his bluff
22:55and hope they both don't get eaten.
22:56So next time I'm on a date,
22:59and it's not going well,
23:00I'll be like, yeah, well, guess what, sweetheart?
23:06All right, next question, please.
23:08All right, now we're coming to your clitoris.
23:09Yes.
23:11So...
23:12Everyone, shut up.
23:14Why would you have no excuse
23:15if you couldn't find a hyena clitoris?
23:17Why would you know this one?
23:18Oh, my God, another expert.
23:20Because...
23:20This is the only fact I remember from high school.
23:22Female hyenas have a fake dick.
23:25Yes, or pseudo-penis is what we call it.
23:28They've got a fake penis, don't they?
23:31And they're bigger than the males,
23:33and they've got a big dog.
23:34They've got a little Allen doll situation on there.
23:36And they scare them off,
23:37because they're just always laughing at it.
23:40I don't remember this from The Lion King, isn't I?
23:44You remembered correctly, so...
23:46Oh, wow.
23:46They have an eight-inch-long clitoris,
23:50and it gives them full control, again,
23:52over which males are mating with them.
23:55Because if you think about it,
23:56one phallic object and another phallic object
23:59don't really fit together very well.
24:01So the only way the male can get his penis in there
24:03is if she kind of deflates her pseudo-penis,
24:06and it kind of gets inverted like a sock
24:09getting pulled inside out.
24:10When the male hyena goes back to the other male hyenas
24:13and says,
24:13you won't believe what happens.
24:18Well...
24:18It goes inside out like a sock.
24:20Like a what?
24:22All right, next question.
24:23All right, why would it be a waste
24:25for a blue-throat wrasse to throw a gender reveal party?
24:28A what?
24:29A what?
24:29A gender reveal party.
24:31No, no, no.
24:31We got that bit.
24:32Oh, sorry.
24:32We got that part, yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:34I still don't know what they are.
24:36It's a fish.
24:38Oh, it's a fish.
24:39Yes.
24:39Is it because it's one of those fish
24:41that can actually be...
24:42I think it intersects and they can change
24:45depending on their environment?
24:47You are very, very close.
24:50So blue-throat wrasse live in these social groups
24:52with one male and lots of females.
24:54When the male dies, the biggest female
24:57will turn into a male and take over the role
25:00as the breeding male for that group.
25:02Ha! Women.
25:06That's all the vaginas I have for you tonight.
25:08That was amazing.
25:09Oh, my goodness.
25:11So interesting.
25:13I feel like I need to upgrade my vagina after that.
25:16I need my tricks.
25:18Well, thank you so much.
25:19Can everyone please give a big round of applause
25:21to Dr Sianna Curdle.
25:24That was wonderful.
25:30Well, with only one round left, it is still anyone's game.
25:33So let's take a swing by the museum's entomology section
25:37and test your knowledge of creepy crawlies with a quiz
25:40we're calling
25:41Who Wants To Be A Millipede?
25:48Alright.
25:50Hands on buzzers.
25:52Carpenter, piss and bull are all names given...
25:55Zoe.
25:56Ant.
25:57To what type of insect?
25:58Ant.
25:59Very good.
26:00Zoe.
26:00This one.
26:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:02The peacock spider uses dance moves called rumble rumps,
26:07crunch rolls and grind revs.
26:09But if her potential mate doesn't like them, what will she do?
26:13Tegan.
26:13Will she eat them?
26:15She will.
26:16Yes.
26:16Yes.
26:17Soaking.
26:17The Italian folk dance, the tarantella, was once believed to cure the bite from which
26:23type?
26:23Tegan.
26:24The tarantula.
26:25The tarantula is correct.
26:29This is a pink underwing moth caterpillar.
26:33What is it trying to communicate here?
26:36Brett.
26:37God, I hit it and I don't know it.
26:40He's trying to communicate.
26:42He's aroused.
26:44Yeah, and really high.
26:46His pupils are huge.
26:48That's like me at a music festival.
26:49A music festival.
26:51Alan.
26:52It's a decoy.
26:53It's pretending to be something else.
26:55The caterpillar tucks its head under and reveals its scary fake face.
27:00So I am going to give that to you Alan.
27:02Yeah.
27:04If not eaten as a delicious traditional treat, what does the witchetty grub grow up to be?
27:10Zoe.
27:11A moth.
27:12That is correct.
27:14The witchetty grub, known as the witchery, is also known in English as a large cossed
27:20wood moth when it grows up.
27:22Yeah.
27:22Ants have been known to keep a herd of aphids like their cows.
27:26Zoe.
27:27Yeah, they milk them.
27:28They milk them is correct.
27:30What do they do with them?
27:32What?
27:33The ants milk the aphids for a sweet secretion of honeydew.
27:37At over 50 centimetres long.
27:39Oh.
27:39What does Australia's...
27:42No.
27:43No.
27:44Get out the door Alan.
27:45Don't bring out the door.
27:45Get out the door.
27:50What did you want to say to the group Alan?
27:52No.
27:53No, no.
27:53I was going to make a crude remark.
27:55Really?
27:56Not a proper answer.
27:57I apologise for the interruption.
28:01What does Australia's...
28:03Stop it.
28:05Zoe Kuzma.
28:06Is that centipede?
28:07It's not centipede.
28:09Brett.
28:10Millipede.
28:12Oh, those massive earthworms that live in Geelong.
28:15Wear it.
28:16At over 50 centimetres long.
28:18What does Australia's largest insect.
28:21The gargantuan stick insect.
28:23Look like.
28:24Zoe.
28:25A stick.
28:26Correct.
28:28Last question.
28:30What is the loudest insect?
28:33Teagan.
28:34Cicada.
28:35Correct.
28:36Well done Teagan.
28:39It can reach up to 120 decibels as loud as a jet engine during take off.
28:48That is the end of the show.
28:50Zoe, you absolutely stormed home in the quiz.
28:53So act like cicadas and make some noise for Zoe Coombs-Ma.
28:57You are the winner of the night at the museum.
29:02And as Zoe makes her way over to display her very first headshots,
29:07make sure you stay there Zoe so we can get a photo of you winning
29:10and I don't know, how about a fun one just to use up the film.
29:18Thank you so much for playing along with us.
29:21Goodnight everybody.
29:27Thank you so much for playing along with us.
