03:38But chief Ronald in a log told us it wasn't a spider
03:41But it has eight legs like a spider
03:44Does it act like a spider?
03:45Does it spin silk like a spider?
03:47We need to know these things
03:48That's what we have to find out
03:51We have to get to know a daddy long legs
03:53Of course we do
03:55After all
03:56We're the agents of the great outdoors
04:00Yeah
04:01We know lots of stuff
04:02And we want to know more
04:05We're the agents of the great outdoors
04:11How are we going to get to know a daddy long legs?
04:14Hmm
04:14The first thing we need to do to get to know a daddy long legs
04:17Is to find a daddy long legs
04:20But how?
04:22Oh, maybe I could do my patented daddy long legs call
04:25Hey, daddy daddy daddy long legs
04:28Daddy daddy long legs
04:29Hey, daddy daddy long legs
04:31Or we can just go and look for one
04:33Splendid idea Daisy
04:35What should we look for?
04:37Well, daddy long legs had eight really long legs
04:40So maybe
04:42Perhaps
04:42This is just at the top of my head
04:43We should look for a creature with eight really long legs
04:46Right
04:47Let's look for eight really long legs
04:50A word and leg word
04:58Agents of the great outdoors
05:00I believe I have found a daddy long legs
05:02Over
05:03Oh, don't get nervous agent nature cat
05:06This is not a spider
05:07Not a spider
05:10Actually nature cat
05:11I think that is a spider
05:15Really?
05:16How can you tell?
05:17Well, that has two segments
05:20But the daddy long legs has a pill shaped body
05:23I think that's a spider
05:27Agent nature cat
05:29We should look for a creature with eight really long legs
05:32And a pill shaped body
05:33Right
05:34If only we knew where to look
05:36Hmm
05:37It says here that daddy long legs like to live in damp places
05:41Great
05:42Let's look in damp places
05:44Tally ho
06:04Yeah
06:06Look Its
06:08Agents
06:09This creature has eight really long legs
06:12And a pill-shaped body.
06:14It's the Daddy Long Legs!
06:17Hello, Daddy Long Legs.
06:19We need to get to know you.
06:20Intros first, I'm Hal. I'm a dog.
06:22I like savory chew bones and rainy fall days.
06:25Crazy, right?
06:26What about you?
06:28Hey, what happened?
06:30Maybe the Daddy Long Legs is playing dead.
06:33It fell down and stayed still after Hal tried to pick it up.
06:36Maybe it's a way to stay safe from something bigger
06:38that might want to eat it.
06:40Or maybe it's just an introvert.
06:41Maybe it just gets overwhelmed in crowds.
06:43I understand that.
06:45And it's a lot harder to see when it isn't moving.
06:47That's a win-win for Daddy Long Legs.
06:49Huh. That sounds like a pretty smart safety strategy.
06:54Oh!
06:55It's going towards me!
06:58Oh! I'll play dead.
07:01Is it working?
07:03Not so much, Nature Chicken.
07:07There's a Daddy Long Legs on my face.
07:08There's a Daddy Long Legs on my face!
07:11Ah!
07:14Oh no, where's that Daddy Long Legs?
07:17Oh no!
07:18This Daddy Long Legs is about to become Bird Brunch!
07:21Ah!
07:22The Daddy Long Legs just lost one of its legs!
07:26Oh, maybe there's a way we can help it.
07:29Wait! It's okay!
07:31It says here that a Daddy Long Legs can release a leg to escape predators!
07:36Oh my goodness, that's amazing!
07:39Huh! It is!
07:40But surely that Daddy Long Legs won't be able to walk with one of its legs gone?
07:46Sounds!
07:47It's walking just fine!
07:49What an unbelievable creature!
07:51This folder tells us exactly how we can observe it more closely!
07:55A Daddy Long Legs Terrarium!
08:00Okay, the folder says to put in some small sticks labeled, um, Part D5.
08:06Oh boy.
08:08And bark! Lots of bark!
08:10That sounds familiar.
08:11Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!
08:13It says to moisten everything, because Daddy Long Legs need water!
08:18And it says to use mesh for the cover, because it has lots of holes to let in air!
08:25Alright, agents. Looks like we're ready to catch a Daddy Long Legs.
08:28Leave that to Agent Nature Cat!
08:33Okay, Daddy Long Legs, come to Papa.
08:37Wait! Come back here, Daddy Long Legs!
08:42Oh no! He's tickling my hand!
08:46Don't worry, Daddy Long Legs. It's only temporary.
08:50What's that?
08:51You would like even more water?
08:53Hal, you can talk to the Daddy Long Legs?
08:57It seems we understand each other. Isn't that right, Daddy Long Legs?
09:03Okay, I'll get the water.
09:05Just need bottle caps and cotton balls. Not included.
09:09Thanks.
09:11Daddy Long Legs refreshments coming right up!
09:17Okay, Daddy Long Legs, sir. Your terrarium is all ready.
09:20Hmm. I wonder if the Daddy Long Legs uses those pair of really long legs the same way an insect
09:25uses antennae.
09:26You know, to feel stuff.
09:28Hey, yeah! It seems like the Daddy Long Legs is using them to check out its surroundings.
09:34Excuse me, Daddy Long Legs. Do you use those legs to feel things?
09:38Really? Well, isn't that interesting?
09:40What? What's interesting? What? What? What?
09:44Sound like a dog. Great. No offense. Love dogs. Awesome.
09:48The Daddy Long Legs here says it does use those legs to explore things. And I believe it.
09:54Ooh, ooh! Ask it if it's going to build a web!
09:56Okay. Are you going to build a web today, Daddy Long Legs?
10:02Huh?
10:03What did it say?
10:04It says Daddy Long Legs have nothing in its body to make silk, so it can't build a web.
10:09If it doesn't build a web to trap insects, how does a Daddy Long Legs eat?
10:14Really? Is that so?
10:16Is what so, Hal?
10:18The Daddy Long Legs said to get it some food, and you can see exactly how it eats.
10:23Hmm. It says here that Daddy Long Legs love raspberries!
10:34Whoa!
10:36Well, don't eat your leg, Daddy Long Legs. Hungry little guy. We'll get you some more berry snacks.
10:41I don't think it's eating its leg. I think it's cleaning its leg.
10:46Is that what you're doing, Daddy Long Legs? Cleaning your long legs? Really? Mm-hmm. Isn't that fascinating?
10:53What's fascinating?
10:54The Daddy Long Legs is cleaning itself.
10:58Oh!
11:00You know something, Agents? I think we know a lot about Daddy Long Legs.
11:05We do?
11:06Sure we do. We know they have eight really long legs and a pill-shaped body.
11:10And they are not spiders.
11:11And we know that they don't make webs.
11:14And we know that they can play dead, and even release their legs to avoid being eaten.
11:19And we even know how they eat and clean themselves.
11:22Congratulations, Agents of the Great Outdoors!
11:25You did it! You got to know a Daddy Long Legs! Hooray!
11:30Oh yeah!
11:32We did it! We got to know a Daddy Long Legs!
11:36And it's all thanks to our new little friend!
11:39Thanks, Daddy Long Legs.
11:41Now it's time to let you go, Daddy Long Legs.
11:46What's that?
11:47He said he wants you to take him out, Agent Nature Cat.
11:51Me?
11:52Sure! Now that you know all about Daddy Long Legs, you know there's nothing to be afraid of!
11:57You're right!
11:59Come on out, Daddy Long Legs!
12:02He he he he! You're right, Hal! Fantastic!
12:06Ha ha ha!

12:27Help! Nature Night Detectives! Help!
12:31Someone needs our help, Nature Night Detectives! Tally ho!
12:37Nature Night Detectives, reporting for Dutiful Duty!
12:40Um, what's the mystery, Miss Raccoon?
12:43Oh thank goodness you're here! There's some kind of giant monster in the forest!
12:48Goat?
12:49Giant monster?
12:51How giant a giant monster are we talking about here, man?
12:53Well, that's the mystery! I was hoping you could tell me!
12:57Ah!
13:02What in nature is that?
13:04Ha ha!
13:07Oh, hey! It's Ronald! Hi, Ronald!
13:10Oh, hello, Ronald!
13:12Had a feeling that was you!
13:14So, uh, whatcha doing here?
13:16Oh, hello, Nature Cat!
13:18I'm here because I know what monster is making that big shadow!
13:22It's a tree-smashing-monstersaurus!
13:25Ronald! There is no such thing as a tree-smashing-monstersaurus!
13:30Oh, yeah?
13:31Well, if it's not a tree-smashing-monstersaurus, what is it?
13:35It's time for some detective work!
13:37Come on, Nature Night Detectives!
13:39Let's get a clue!
13:46That monster is so big and giant and enormous, even!
13:50Now it's doing some freaky-deaky moves!
13:54Man, oh, man!
13:55What could be making that big, scary shadow?
13:59Let's investigate!
14:00Onward!
14:01And shadowward!
14:13We solved the mystery!
14:16You see, Ronald?
14:17There is no monster!
14:19Only the shadow of two deer doing an interpretive dance!
14:23Well, it could have been!
14:25You just never know when it comes to monsters!
14:27Thanks for your help, Nature Night Detectives!
14:31All in a night's work!
14:33How? Nature Night Detectives, how?
14:36Sounds like somebody else needs our help!
14:39Tally-how!
14:42Oh, dear! Oh, my! Oh, my dear!
14:45What's wrong, friend?
14:47It's the moon!
14:48Something is happening to the moon!
14:50Look, part of it is gone!
14:52That could just be the phase the moon is in tonight, Mr. Porcupine, sir!
14:57No! No, no, no!
14:59An hour ago, it was a full moon!
15:02It couldn't have changed that much in one time!
15:04What is happening?
15:10Oh, hi again, Ronald!
15:13Knew it was you again!
15:15So, uh, what is it now, Ronald?
15:17Well, Nature Cat, I know what's happening to the moon!
15:21Don't tell me it's another tree-smashing monster!
15:24Tree-smashing monster? Oh, dear!
15:28Of course not! It's not a tree-smashing monster!
15:31Oh, thank goodness!
15:33It's a moon-munching monster!
15:35Moon-munching monster? Oh, no!
15:38Ronald, there's no way on Earth there's a moon-munching monster!
15:42You're right!
15:43Oh, thank goodness!
15:45But the moon-munching monster isn't on Earth!
15:47It's in space!
15:48Munching on the moon!
15:50Oh, no! This is terrible!
15:53Don't worry, my porcupine brother!
15:56We shall investigate...
15:57...and find out what is happening...
16:00...to the moon.
16:02But the moon is all the way out there in space!
16:04How are we supposed to investigate?
16:06Because we are no longer Nature Night Detectives!
16:09From now on, we are...
16:12...Wouter Space Detectives!
16:16Ooh!
16:17How do you even plan on getting to the moon, Nature Cat?
16:20You'll see!
16:21Bring it in, Houston!
16:23Yes, sir!
16:28You're going to travel to space? In this?
16:31You bet we are!
16:32Care to join us?
16:33Me?
16:34There's room for five in the rocket!
16:36You could be an outer space detective with us!
16:39Um...
16:39Uh...
16:40Ronald, dear, you don't have to go if you feel scared.
16:43Stay home!
16:44Me? Scared?
16:45Ha-ha! I never get scared!
16:47Let's do it!
16:48I'll be an outer space detective, too!
16:50Hooray!
16:52Hooray!
16:56Hooray!
16:57Houston, we are ready for liftoff!
17:01Let us do this thing!
17:0410...
17:059...
17:068...
17:077...
17:096...
17:105...
17:114...
17:123...
17:132...
17:141...
17:15Blast off!
17:242...
17:412...
17:441...
17:452...
17:462...
17:472...
17:472...
17:472...
17:472...
17:472...
17:47This is Earth calling the outer space detectives come in outer space detectives
17:53It's Houston! Someone, answer. I'm on it!
18:00Bye! Do something! Outer space...detectives!
18:05I got this...yup!
18:18Come in, outer space detectives.
18:21Houston, this is the outer space detectives. Come in.
18:24More of the moon is disappearing, sirs and ma'ams.
18:27Hurry, outer space detectives! Stop that moon-munching monster before the moon is all gone!
18:36What can be making the moon disappear?
18:39Come on, outer space detectives! Let's...investigate!
18:46There is no moon-munching monster! Maybe it's not being munched at all!
18:50Maybe the whole moon is there, but we just can't see all of it right now!
18:55Why can't we see all of the moon? Is part of it playing hide-and-seek?
18:59Oh, I want to play hide-and-seek with the moon!
19:01I'm hiding, moon. Come and find me if you can!
19:07That moon's never gonna find me down here.
19:09Hal, the moon doesn't play games. It has too much gravitas.
19:12What do we know about the moon's light, Daisy?
19:14The moon reflects the light from the sun!
19:17Hmm. So, what happens when the sun's light is blocked?
19:22Oh, come on, Nature Cat! What could be big enough to block the sun's light?
19:26Let's check out a model using our high-tech outer space equipment!
19:30Great idea! Someone hit the high-tech equipment button, please.
19:35I'm on it!
19:40It's definitely the wrong button again!
19:42I'll handle it!
19:46Whoopsie!
19:47Sorry, everyone!
19:50Now for the high-tech equipment button.
19:52Pushes!
19:53Okay, outer space detectives, pay attention.
19:56Here we have the Earth, the moon, and the sun.
19:59And the Earth is orbiting around the sun, and the moon is orbiting around the Earth,
20:03and the two-twos are orbiting around the also-also.
20:05Look! Earth has a shadow! Huh! I never thought about that! And now, Earth's shadow is falling across the moon!
20:16Huh. Well, could it be Earth's shadow that's making the moon disappear?
20:21Yes! I see it!
20:22So when the sun, the Earth, and the moon line up perfectly as they are here...
20:26The Earth blocks the sun's light with its shadow! The moon can't reflect the sun's light when it's in shadow
20:32like this! So that's why we see the moon disappear!
20:37Huh! It says that does happen! Sometimes the sun and the Earth and the moon line up just right and
20:45you have a lunar eclipse!
20:47I wonder what this lunar eclipse looks like from the moon!
20:51Let's land on the moon and find out! I'll hit the landing button!
20:55Ah! No, not that one. Try this one. Good doggie.
21:14Let's engage our special lunar eclipse viewing shields.
21:27There's the Earth!
21:28Hi, Earth. It's me, Hal. I'm on the moon. Jealous.
21:32What do you see, Detective Ronald?
21:34Me? Uh, I see...
21:36The Earth! It's dark, and I can see a tiny bit of the sun behind it.
21:40Whoa! The Earth is blocking the sun!
21:44Does that mean we're in the Earth's shadow?
21:47Yes! Because the sun is directly behind Earth, and the moon is directly in front of Earth.
21:53Oh, yeah! Remember how we made shadow puppets on your fence in episode 137b? We stood with the sun behind
21:59us to block its light against the fence.
22:01Hotter Space Detectives! The moon is almost gone!
22:07It's okay. There is no monster. We're just in the middle of a lunar eclipse!
22:14Whoa, Nellie. The moon is completely dark now, sir.
22:19Whoa!
22:20Look at that.
22:21Hey, look. There's a red glow around the Earth.
22:24Weird.
22:25What does the moon look like now, Houston?
22:29It's red. Like a raspberry, ma'ams and sirs.
22:32A moon as red as a raspberry! Wow! This is the coolest thing ever!
22:37Thanks for letting me be part of the Outer Space Detectives.
22:40You're welcome, Outer Space Detective Ronald. And now that we've solved the case, let's go home and watch the skies.
22:48Onward and Earthward!
22:58Someone want to go ahead and hit the Return to Earth button?
23:01I'll get it!
23:02Um...
23:03Go-oh!
23:05victoriuqblast3
23:05Whoa!
23:08Lunar nouglas!
23:10Ну-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no,

23:45Yeah.
