00:09The End
00:30We now take you on a nature tour and will attempt to show you interesting animal life and scenic wonders
00:36of our country.
00:37First, in California, we find one of the most beautiful of national parks, Yosemite, known to many a traveler.
00:46Tourists are often tempted to feed the tame bears in the park.
01:05That's it, stupid! Can't you read?
01:11We also find other animals in the park. Here's a shy little deer. Hello, deer.
01:18Hello, big boy.
01:26Boy Scouts make Yosemite their annual camping headquarters.
01:30Well, the Scoutmaster seems to be in trouble. What do you suppose he wants?
01:35Pardon me. May we use your washroom?
01:40Okay, bud. Right over there.
01:57Stationed high on their lookout towers, firefighting rangers are continually searching for carelessness,
02:03which may result in the destruction of these beautiful forests.
02:09Oh, my goodness.
02:53Bryce Canyon in Utah, created by the continuous flow of water centuries ago, is noted for
03:01its strange and grotesque formations. One of the most interesting of which is this natural bridge.
03:16Going from one atmospheric extreme to the other, we leave the sunny climate of Utah for
03:21the frozen wastes of Alaska.
03:30Perfectly contented in his below zero haunts, is the polar bay. For mother nature has provided
03:36him with layer upon layer of fat, plus a thick coat of heavy fur, to keep him good and warm.
03:43I don't care what you say, I'm cold.
03:52Eskimo dogs thrive in this climate and are perfectly happy here. Well, what's this fellow
03:59up to? Don't tell me he's headed for California. Oh, well, good luck.
04:14Traveling southward back into the states, we were fortunate in photographing this tense drama
04:19of animal life, a ferocious bobcat about to pounce upon and devour this poor, helpless little
04:26weakling, a baby quail. With muscles tense and ready to spring, the marauding killer comes
04:34closer and closer to this tiny, shivering little creature, so defenseless, so harmless, only a
04:42baby. Poor little baby. I can't do it! I can't! I can't go through it! I can't! I can't!
05:00There's something fascinating about the sound of a frog. Here we show you a close-up of
05:09a frog croaking. In the desert wastes of New Mexico, we found interesting animal life,
05:26such as... Oh, say, what's this? Well, our little northern friend. It looks like he really is going
05:34to California. Oh, well, maybe his master's there. As I was saying, the animal life here
05:43is very interesting. Here is a lizard which, as you all probably know, sheds its skin once
05:49a year. Let's watch this interesting procedure.
06:46Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please. The
06:49The next scene is quite gruesome, so for the benefit of the children in the audience, we will split the
06:54screen.
06:54The left side for grown-ups, the right for the children.
06:57For the grown-ups, a hideous Gila monster.
07:01For the children, a recitation.
07:04Mary had a little lamb.
07:07Its place was white as snow.
07:11And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
07:25Now to the Grand Canyon of Arizona.
07:28It is indeed a breathtaking panorama of multicolored rock.
07:42Here, from this point, the massive walls of the canyon are able to throw back an echo...
07:47...from a distance of three miles.
07:50Let's listen to this tourist.
07:52Hello!
07:59Hello!
08:06Hello!
08:07Hello!
08:11I'm sorry. They do not answer.
08:15Hello!
08:21Well, here's that determined dog again.
08:24He's really serious about this California situation.
08:30The Colorado River, winding its way endlessly through mountain gorges, presents a remarkable view from the edge of the canyon
08:38high above.
08:43On crossing the river, we stop to watch a group of busy little beavers, industriously at work, building a deck.
09:03Well, our four-legged friend, wearily, approaches his goal.
09:07What determination!
09:14He's made it!
09:26He's made it!
09:27Trees!
09:29Trees!
09:31Trees!
09:31Thousands and thousands of trees!
09:33And they're mine!
09:35All mine!
09:38Trees!
09:40Trees!
09:41Trees!
09:42Trees!
09:50Trees!
09:51Trees!
