Happy? Isn't it time for...?
Ah! Duggee!
ALL: Duggee!
Duggee!
Woof!
ALL: Duggee!
THEY LAUGH
ALL: Hey, Duggee!
Duggee And The Eating Badge.
Oh, what a lovely day for a picnic, squirrels.
ALL: Yeah!
Duggee, can I give the chickens some of my carrot?
Oh, woof! That's nice of you, Norrie,
but the chickens are happy pecking their corn. Pecking?
That's a funny way of eating. CHICKENS: Cluck!
Well, animals can eat lots of different ways.
ALL: Really?
Luckily, Duggee has... Ding!
..his eating badge,
and can explain. Oh! Woof, woof, woof. Indeed.
Some animals eat slowly,
like a cow, who chews her food all day long.
All day?
Yes. From when you arrive at Squirrel Club...
ALL: Duggee! Woof!
ALL: Yes!
..to when you leave. Toot, toot! Woof!
That's really slow.
Woof! But other animals eat really quickly,
like frog.
Yum!
What about other animals, Duggee? Oh, woof-woof woof!
Well, goats are always hungry.
So hungry!
Chop, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp!
Me, too. Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp!
While some tortoises can go for a whole year without eating anything.
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp!
Are you going to eat that? Oh, no, I'm full.
I only just ate six months ago.
And some animals... Woof!
..like giraffes, eat food that is very high up.
And some animals eat food that is very low down.
Ah! Like moles, who dine deep underground,
feasting on grubs and bugs.
Hey, where did it go?!
Oh, no! Mole will have to go back to the shops.
Oh, animals don't go to shops, Norrie.
They have to find their own food. Woof!
Like this bird, who catches its food
and carries it in its beak back home to feed its babies.
How would you like it? Rare, please.
Mmm.
Medium, please.
Chomp, chomp!
Yum, yum, yum, yum. Well done, please.
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp! Ah!
Mmm.
Delicious. Thanks, Mum. ALL: Tweet, tweet, tweet.
Being a baby is easy.
Not all babies, squirrels. Ah, woof woof!
For example, baby bears have to get their own food.
What's for dinner, Mum? Berries on a bush. Oh!
How do you make that?
You pick the berry off the bush
and pop it in your mouth.
Done that. Now what?
The same again, but 1,000 more times. OK.
ALL: Wow! That's a lot.
But fruit is good for you.
And lots of animals like eating it - like elephants,
who pick it using their trunks,
and monkeys, who pick it using their tails.
Ha-ha-ha!
Naughty monkey isn't very good at sharing.
No, but some animals are, like ants,
who share all the food they find.
ANTS: Whoo! Whee! Hurray!
And while lots of little animals can eat one big thing,
one big animal could eat lots of little things,
like this whale.
She won't chew, Duggee!
No, some animals swallow their food whole, like snakes.
Ich bin so stuffed!
And some take lots of tiny nibbles. I only have a little mouth.
Some animals only eat one thing, like the koala bear.
You're the only one for me, eucalyptus tree!
But others aren't fussy at all.
Dinner is served.
ALL: Ew!
That's disgusting! It may look unappealing to us,
but all animals eat food in their own special way.
Like us. Woof!
ALL: Mmm! Yum, yum, yum.
BIRDS: Tweet, tweet, tweet!
Er, Mum? Yes, tweetie?
That animal down there is using its wings to eat.
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp!
He can't even fly.
Well, it may look funny to us,
but it's natural to them. Look!
That one is using sticks to pick up food.
And that one's got a really long beak. No.
That's a straw for sucking up food. Weird.
Ha-ha! That one is making a really silly face.
Sometimes they blow on their food if it's too hot.
Why is that one being so mean to that red ball?
He's using a fork, because she doesn't have a beak. Poor her!
Chomp! Mmm!
Nobody is chewing the food for her first.
They chew their own food.
They have little bones in their mouths called teeth. Ugh!
Disgusting! I'm glad we don't have to do that.
Yes! Thanks, Mum. You're welcome.
Ready for dessert? ALL: Yeah!
Chomp, chomp, chomp!
What a lovely picnic. ALL: Mmm!
Haven't the squirrels done well today, Duggee?
Woof!
DUGGEE PANTS
You've earned your eating badge.
ALL: Yay!
CAR HORN TOOTS
Ah, and here are your parents.
Just time for one more thing.
ALL: Duggee hug!
Aw! Duggee hug.
THEY LAUGH
ALL: We got our eating badges!
ALL: Aw!
CAR HORN TOOTS
Bye-bye, everybody.
An amuse bouche?
Er, woof woof!
