- [Teacher] Today, we're going to Zoo Miami
to find out about the wild animals of the world!
This zoo is so big, there are 740 acres,
and over 2000 wild animals.
To see the whole thing we're gonna have to ride on a bike!
Look at that!
Have you ever been on a bike?
Let's try it, here.
Oh, boy!
(funky music)
Look at the elephants!
Did you know they're the biggest land animal
in the whole world?
Wow, look how big they are!
I think they like being in the mud, they're all red!
Wow, look at those gorillas!
Gorillas are the largest members of the ape family.
You can tell they're apes because apes don't have tails,
but monkeys do.
Look at that, it looks like a mommy.
Oh, that must be the Daddy don't you think?
- Yeah. That's the Daddy.
- [Teacher] And, who do you think that is?
- [Boy] It looks like, that's the brother,
that's the son, that's the son.
- [Teacher] Yeah, I think so too.
- [Boy] Look at the monkey!
(gasp)
- [Teacher] I see them, monkeys have tails.
Look, those monkeys have tails!
(funky music)
- [Zookeeper] Welcome over here
to the Casa Ringo Rhino Encounter!
Now, you see our big Rhino here?
Do you think he needs to be cleaned?
Of course he does!
Animals just like people have to be cleaned all the time.
Do you know how we help keep him clean?
Come on, everybody step up here.
Everybody step up.
Take the brush and up and down on his skin.
Up and down, you can go hard on his skin you know why?
He's got very thick skin.
- And, how do we stay clean?
This rhino likes to be clean, how do you stay clean?
- I take a bath.
- You take a bath, what do you do?
- I wash my hands.
- You wash your hands to stay clean.
And, what do you do?
- Brush my teeth.
- You brush your teeth.
And, the rhino likes to be clean too.
Look we're using brushes to help clean him.
- You know what else he'll do?
He goes into his big bathtub over there.
That's his bath tub.
He loves to soak in there,
and get his skin all nice and moist and wet.
Because it cleans off all the dirt that he gets on all day,
because sometimes during the day
he loves to roll around in the dirt.
Because it helps protect him from the sun,
and helps protect him from biting insects.
So, this is the way he cleans the dirt off.
Then we come in there we can rub him down,
and rub him a little bit, help clean the skin that way.
(happy music)
- [Teacher] Look, there's the giraffes!
(drums beating)
Okay, let's stop and get out.
(children mumbling)
Okay, here we go.
- Okay, here we are at the giraffe feeding station!
Over here this is the big guy this is, Fesic.
He's the big male, okay?
One of the younger ones here.
And back here, this is Keana the female.
And you know what, they eat a lot,
but they eat very healthy foods!
One of their favorite foods carrots!
You know how you always hear you should eat your vegetables?
Giraffes are the kings of eating vegetables!
- [Teacher] Look at that, she's beautiful.
Look at his tongue, he ate that carrot!
What kind of happy foods do you like to eat?
- [Boy] Mango.
- Mangoes, that's a healthy food.
What healthy foods do you like to eat?
- [Girl] Apples.
- Apples, and how 'bout you?
- Cherries!
- Cherries, and what does he like?
(zookeeper laughing)
- Yeah!
- Look watch!
- Oh!
- See that tongue, it gets to be 14 inches long!
Look at that, whoa!
- Oh he likes healthy foods, here baby.
She like healthy foods too.
- [Zookeeper] Okay, we're in front of the zebra exhibit.
This is the Grevy Zebra.
You know the neat thing about zebras?
Their stripes!
But their stripes are different on each zebra.
And, on the same zebra the stripes on one side,
are different than the stripes on another side.
Which means they are not symmetrical.
In other words, to be symmetrical it has to be the
exact same on one side as it is on the other side.
But, it's not that way with the zebras.
So they're asymmetrical, okay.
Lines on zebras are like fingerprints on a human being.
Different on every animal.
(drum beats)
Now, we're going on a camel ride!
Let's go!
Go ahead Zach, you can go up the stairs first.
- Come right up.
- Great, let's be in front of the camel so we can see it.
So, there are two types of camels,
one has one hump, and he's called a Dromedary.
Can you guys say that?
- [Children In Unison] Dromedary Camel.
- [Teacher] Dromedary, that starts with a D.
He has one hump that looks like a D.
There's another type of camel,
and it has two humps on it's back that looks like a B.
What's that camel's name, a Bactrain, can you say Bactrain?
- [Children In Unison] Bactrain.
- [Teacher] Bactrain starts with a B,
and the other camel has two humps.
But this camel has how many humps?
- [Children] - One!
- One, and we are going for a ride.
Yeah, we're on the top of the camel, look at that!
So exciting, whoa!
(children mumbling)
(teacher laughing)
Look at that!
Are you feeling him sway from side to side?
Whoa here we go!
Do you remember his name?
- Dromedary.
- A dromedary, 'cause he has one hump.
Just like you are sitting on.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, and Lauren is first, good.
Okay, look there's a tiger.
Let's go see him.
The tiger is the largest animal in the cat family.
He's the largest cat, he's orange, and has vertical stripes.
Isn't he beautiful?
Wow, he is big.
What's that, look the lion's coming up at us.
He must be a male.
The male lions have hair around their faces, a big mane.
And the female lions don't.
Those must be males.
Look, he's looking at us!
Hi, hi lion, wow they're beautiful.
Today was a terrific day at the zoo!
What did you do today?

And, how 'bout you Zach?
