their memories also get even better as they get older. so that is... true. true. that's right. they're getting older. [laughs]. I know that 'cause it said in in here. yeah. the question's actually elephants never forget. and that's true isn't it? yeah. they don't forget. so they. what's this one? that's about cats and dogs. it says. it says. cats and dogs always fight. is that true or false? so. shall we find out of they always fight? it says. cats and dogs are seen as enemies. but that's not always the case. they can get on very well. especially if they grow up together. in fact they can get on better with each other than cats do with their own. so that is...? true.
true. no. sorry. no. sorry it's false. cats and dogs always fight is false.

they are found living in banana trees. so they are never short of this tasty snack. they also like other fruits seed roots herbs and even insects. ugh. ugh. insects? that's not nice is it? no. only monkeys like insects. mm. so that one is true. monkeys do love bananas. they do love bananas. was it this one? mm hm. we've done them all. we've done them all now haven't we? false. true. false. true. mm. I mean false. mm. there's lots of... what's the horse saying? the horse is saying. ooh I'd love a polo. what's a polo? a polo's a mint.
what's the doggy saying? the doggy's not saying anything. it's the cat that's saying. meow. can we be best friends please? [laughs]. [laughs]. that's what the cat is saying. what's the piggy saying? actually we're rather clever. [laughs]. no. they are clever. how do you know? 'cause that's what it said when we read it yesterday. do you remember? what did it say? it said. it's true that pigs roll in mud sometimes. but it's to keep themselves cool. proud pigs always keep their homes clean. and more intel... that means they're more... they're cleverer than dogs. and they're quite fussy eaters. true. yeah. that's right. they're quite fussy eater too. they're quite fussy eaters too.
that's right. what does fussy mean. it means they don't eat everything. xxx they don't like everything they're... what does... what's that? it says. do you love animals? do you want to be famous. find out the kind of animal celebrity you should be right here. it says. have you got a pet? do you have a pet? yeah. yes. will you do anything for a dare? no. no. have you ever raised money for an animal charity? no. no. are you a bit of a show off? what's a show off? show off? do you like doing things in front of people? like jumping and dancing and things like that? no. is being famous important? no. no.
