RECAP
IN THIS EPISODE, WE LEARN ALL ABOUT DIFFERENT ANIMALS WITH THE HELP OF A BOOK BLUE HAS THAT WE CAN USE TO LOOK THEM UP. AS WE LEARN, WE ALSO TRY IMITATING THE BEHAVIOR OF A NUMBER OF ANIMALS FOR FUN. WE HELP SHOVEL AND PAIL TO FIND OUT WHY BEAVERS PICK UP STICKS AND WHY BIRDS TWEET. IN THE SKIDOO SEGMENT, WE MEET LADY GODIVA, WHO USES A SUBMARINE TO TAKE US UNDER THE SEA, WHERE WE FIND 3 FISH WITH A VERY INTERESTING FORM OF ANIMAL BEHAVIOR CALLED CAMOUFLAGE AND LEARN WHY THEY USE IT. STEVE THEN FOUND A WADDLING WITH A CLUE ON IT, SO HE HAD TO STAY IN A PC COMPUTER SUBMARINE FOR A FEW MINUTES TO DRAW THE CLUE.
