- (laughs) Hi!
Welcome to "Elmo's World."
(giggles) Guess what Elmo is wondering about today.
Wait for it.
(Elmo laughs)
Looks like rocks.
But really it's turtles!
Hi, turtles.
- [All] Hi!
(Elmo laughs)
Boy, Elmo wants to learn all about turtles.
Oh, let's ask Elmo's friend, Smarty.
Let's call her together.
- [All] Oh, Smarty!
(tuba music)
- Hi-ya, Elmo.
- (giggle) Smarty's wearing a turtle shell.
- Yeah, I'm not just a cell phone. I'm also a shell phone.
(both laughing)
- Well, that's perfect, Smarty,
'cause Emma wants learn all about turtles!
- Well, what do we do to learn something new?
- [Both] We look it up.
- Shelling out some information about turtles.
Turtles are reptiles.
They have scaly rough skin
and a hard shell on their back that protects them.
It's kind of like their mobile home.
(bright music)
They can pull themselves inside their shell
when there's danger to keep safe.
There are lots of different kinds of turtles
and they can be lots of different shapes and sizes.
Some turtles live in the water, like in an ocean or a lake.
Some turtles like to stay mostly on land.
You might find them in the woods
or even in your backyard.
And get this, turtles lay eggs.
When the eggs hatch, out come the baby turtles. (laughs)
Look at them go.
(bright music)
- Whoa! Elmo didn't know turtles can move fast.
- Usually they're slow, but sometimes they can really move.
Speaking of moving.
I gotta go. See ya.
- Bye-bye, Smarty.
Wow. There's so many different kinds of turtles.
And they live in so many different places.
Hey, that gives Elmo and idea.
Let's play a game together. Yeah!
Come on! Come on!
(bright music)
Elmo wonders if we can help the baby turtle
get to the ocean.
Are you ready?
Let's play!
(bright music)
The turtle needs get from here to there.
Which way should it go?
Up or down?
- [Children] Up!
- [Elmo] Okay, there it goes.
(bright playful music)
Oops. There's a sand castle in the way.
Now which way should it turn?
This way?
- [Children] No, that's a dead end.
- [Child] The other way.
- [Elmo] Try again, turtle.
Now which way?
- [Child] Go down.
- [Children] Turn there at the shell.
- [Elmo] Yeah! Now it's heading straight too...
- [All] The ocean! (water splashes)
- (giggles) You did it! Good job.
Bye, baby turtle.
(bright playful music)
Aw! Baby turtles are so cute! (giggles)
That's makes Elmo wonder even more.
Hmm. How do turtles stay safe?
Oh, let's ask Mr. Noodle.
Oh, Mr. Noodle!
(laughs) It's Mr. Noodle's poodle, Schmoodle.
- Hi, Schmoodle Noodle. - Hi, Schmoodle.
Schmoodle, do you know how turtles stay safe?
(Schmoodle barks)
(playful music)
(children laughing)
- [Children] That's not it.
- [Elmo] That's how hockey players stay safe.
How do turtles stay safe. Oh, Elmo will give you a hint.
They kind of wear their house on their back.
(playful music) (Schmoodle grunts)
(children laughing)
- [Child] He's got a little dog house.
- [Elmo] No, Schmoodle, not a dog house.
Try again.
Very cute though.
- [Children] That's it! Yes!
- Yeah, turtles have shells to keep them safe.
(Schmoodle barks)
Thank you, Schmoodle.
