- It's Elmo at the Zoo.
(elephant trumpets)
(Elmo laughs)
Oh, hi.
Elmo can't wait to learn how
the zoo animals spend their day.
Come on, let's find out.
(gentle music)
Good morning, zoo animals.
The animals are leaving their
beds ready to start the day.
(elephant trumpets)
Hey, this fruit bat isn't up yet?
Rise and shine, Mr. Bat.
First thing's first, breakfast.
Shorty, the rhino, loves his formula.
Aw, how cute.
This echidna needs his food smushed up.
Oh look, Justine the beaver
is having a healthy breakfast of yams.
Boy, this hog eats like Cookie Monster.
(Elmo laughs)
That's so silly.
Hey, the fruit bat is still asleep?
Next, the animals get
themselves all cleaned up.
Some animals get help from their mommies.
And some get cleaned up themselves.
Hey, somebody get this guy a rubber ducky!
(squeaking)
Looks like Shorty is combining
bath time with play time.
The fruit bat is still sleeping!
You're missing all the fun, Mr. Bat.
Play time.
(koala squeaking)
Some animals play with
their mommies and daddies,
and some animals play with their friends.
Tag, you're it!
(snorting)
Funani, the mommy hippo and
her baby are going for a swim.
What a fun day!
Now it's time to head back and get
a good nights sleep for tomorrow.
(rustling)
(snorting)
Everybody get comfy!
Oh wow, look at that!
Fruit bat is finally awake.
That's because bats are nocturnal.
That means they sleep during the day
and they're awake at night.
Good morning to you, Mr. Bat.
It's Elmo at the Zoo.
(laughing)
Elmo wonders what we're
gonna see at the zoo today.
(hums)
Oh boy, Elmo thinks he knows now.
Food.
Look at all the different types of foods
the animals eat at the zoo.
Some animals are herbivores.
That means they eat plants and fruits.
And some animals are carnivores.
That means they eat meat.
Boy, somebody get this guy a bigger bowl.
(laughing)
That's so silly.
Uh oh, looks like this
guy missed his mouth.
Woo, this fruit bat is
eating some yummy mango.
Wait a minute!
He's eating upside down.
(laughing)
Oh look, sometimes the
mommies help feed the babies.
(squawking)
Sometimes the babies get a
little help from their friends.
Aw, how cute.
This speckled bear is eating honey.
Elmo loves honey, too.
Wow, Elmo had so much fun with all
his animal friends at the
San Diego Zoo, bon appetite!
It's Elmo at the Zoo.
(laughing)
(grumbling)
Oh, hi!
Today at the zoo we're learning about one
of Elmo's favorite things: love.
Animals can show love by
taking care of each other,
like when mommies and daddies
take care of their babies.
They feed them and groom
them and keep them safe.
Oh.
(hay rustling)
And make sure they get their exercise.
This mommy waterbuck is
taking her baby for a run.
Oh, look!
This baby koala is getting a
piggy back ride from his mommy.
(laughing)
Can Elmo get a lift, please?
Whoopsie.
Oh, don't worry, baby elephant,
your mommy will protect you.
Cuddle time!
Aw, how cute.
Sometimes animal friends show love
by sharing a snack or by
playing with each other.
Hey, look at that!
Shorty the rhino has made
friends with this cow.
(train horn tooting)
Wow, this cheetah and
puppy are friends, too.
Look at them play.
That looks like fun.
More cuddle time.
Aw, Elmo loves cuddle time, too.
Wow, Elmo had so much fun
with all his animal friends
at the San Diego Zoo.
See you next time.
It's Elmo at the Zoo.
(laughing)
Today at the zoo we're learning about one
of our most favorite things!
Babies!
Babies need a lot of help from
their mommies and daddies.
Babies need to get enough to eat and drink
so they can grow up big and strong.
Oh, look at this guy!
(chuckles)
They also need love and cuddles.
Aw, how cute.
Sometimes baby animals have special names.
Like this baby sheep is called a lamb.
Careful on those rocks, little lamb.
(Elmo laughs)
Babies also need to get
check ups from the doctor.
(squawking)
The doctors make sure they're
growing healthy and strong.
But it's not all just naps and bottles.
Babies have to learn how to walk,
climb,
and swim.
And run like this giraffe.
Whoa, steady little guy!
Boy, Elmo loves seeing all the
babies at the San Diego Zoo.
See you next time.
It's Elmo at the Zoo.
(laughing)
Oh, hi!
Elmo's so exited because today at the zoo
we're learning all about friends.
Friends come in different
shapes and sizes.
(Elmo laughs)
But all friends care about each other.
Aw, how cute.
Friends can play games with
each other like tag or toss.
(splashing)
Whoa.
Good catch, Mr. Otter.
Or even wrestle.
Oh, like these guys.
(growling)
Or just relax with each other.
Friends might not always
be the best at sharing.
(chuckles)
That's so silly.
But they also make sure
to help each other out.
Careful, Mr. Leopard.
Elmo wonders what they're doing.
Friends don't have to look the same.
Oh, like Shorty the rhino,
and his friend the cow.
Elmo loves his animal friends.
The best friendships
start when you're little.
And last a whole lifetime!
Elmo loves it.
(birds chirping)
Elmo loves seeing all the animal friends
at the San Diego Zoo.
See you next time.
It's Elmo at the Zoo.
(laughing)
Elmo's so happy because today at the zoo
we're learning about families.
Families can come in all shapes and sizes.
Some families are small with
just mommies and daddies.
(squeaking)
Other families are big
like this horde of buffalo.
And some families are really big
like this flock of flamingos.
Wow, that's a lot of relatives.
But no matter what, families
take care of each other.
(purring)
Families play together.
Elmo loves it.
And grow up together like these bonobos.
Families don't always have to get along,
(roaring)
but they've always got each other's back.
Oh.
Oh boy, Elmo loves seeing
all the animal families
at the San Diego Zoo.
See you next time.
It's Elmo at the Zoo.
(laughing)
Move!
That's right, today at the
zoo we're learning about
how all of the animals move.
(birds squawking)
Oh, be careful, little guy.
(baaing)
This big horn baby sheep
can jump up and down hills.
These gorillas run on their hands.
Some animals move fast, like this cheetah.
Did you know cheetahs are
the fastest animals on land?
Watch out!
(wings flapping)
And some animals move slow.
(elephant trumpeting)
(train horn honking)
Choo choo.
Some animals have wings to fly.
(bats screeching)
The wings on this crowned crane
chick are too small to fly,
but they can flap!
Some animals have strong legs for jumping.
Look at that joey jump!
Some animals have no legs at all.
This snake slithers around on his belly.
Some animals can climb up high.
Did you know lemurs live
in the tops of trees?
Some animals are made to swim.
Oh, like this beaver.
He has webbed toes and a wide
flat tail to help him swim.
Oh boy, Elmo loves watching
how all the animals
move at the San Diego Zoo!
See you next time.
It's Elmo at the Zoo.
(laughing)
Oh boy, today at the zoo we're
learning all about reptiles.
They sure do like to sit.
Oh, and look around a lot.
Reptiles come in all different sizes.
Some are big, like this Komodo dragon,
and some are small, like this iguana.
Oh, hi there, little guy.
Instead of skin or fur,
reptiles have scales.
Oh, wow, look at that.
They can live on land or in
the water like this crocodile.
That's one long nose, Mr. Crocodile.
They get around in lots of different ways.
Some walk on tiny legs.
Some swim or some
slither on their bellies.
Some even hang out in trees.
Elmo likes it up here.
Wow, look at those teeth!
And those tongues!
Boy, Elmo loves seeing all the reptiles
at the San Diego Zoo.
See you next time.
It's Elmo at the Zoo.
(laughing)
(elephant trumpeting)
Hello there.
Today at the zoo we're looking at
what makes each animal special.
(train horn honking)
Choo choo, coming through.
All animals come in
different shapes and sizes.
Some have antlers like this reindeer.
Wow, those look really special.
Any relation to Rudolph?
(Elmo laughs)
Elmo loves how these Cape
buffaloes horns curve up.
How cool!
And rhinos have horns on their noses.
Oh, don't worry little guy,
you'll get horns one day, you'll see.
Pandas have a special pattern
of black and white fur.
And they love to play.
There are so many
different types of animals
and they're each special in their own way.
Did you know all birds have
their own special sound?
Like this owl.
(hooting)
Hoot to you, Mr. Owl.
Or this kookaburra.
(squawking)
(laughing)
Hey, what's so funny?
Other animals have special sounds, too.
(howling)
Like these wolves that howl.
Howl!
Sometimes animals are special
colors, like this polar bear.
Polar bears are white
so they can camouflage
and blend in the snow.
(bear snorting)
That's so silly.
Boy, Elmo loves seeing
all the different things
that make each animal
special at the San Diego Zoo.
See you next time.
It's Elmo at the Zoo.
(laughing)
Game time!
Today at the zoo we're gonna see all
the different ways that animals play.
The animals have so many
different kinds of toys.
Like gourds
or stuffed animals.
Aw, Elmo has a stuffed animal,
too, but yours is very cute.
Even bubbles!
Elmo loves bubbles.
Let's play ball!
Hmm, this one's a little small.
But this big one will do just fine.
The best games are played with friends.
Catch!
(ball jingling)
This ball makes noise.
Cool!
Animals love to play.
Time for a quick break.
Oh, and then back to playing.
Boy, Elmo loves seeing all
the ways that animals play
at the San Diego Zoo.
See you next time.
