["One Step Closer" playing]
[Jane] "Panthera tigris."
- [David] Whoa. - [Jane exhales sharply]
I thought we had to go slow and be quiet if we were gonna find a tiger.
I did say that.
See anything yet?
[binoculars chime]
[David] Nothing yet.
[Greybeard chattering]
Except a scared Greybeard.
I know you're nervous, Greybeard,
but we have to figure out why tigers like to come out at night.
And to do that...
We have to complete this nighttime mission.
We get to use binoculars that let us see in the dark.
Wanna try?
[chatters]
[chattering]
[David] See? Nothing to be scared of.
[tiger growling]
[Greybeard shrieks]
What did you see, Greybeard? Was it a tiger?
Did it look like a giant cat with pretty stripes,
massive claws and big eyes?
Kind of like a big, cuddly hunter
who will stop at nothing to take down their prey?
- [chatters] - Do you like tigers?
Panthera tigris? I don't just like them. I love them.
You looked up their scientific name?
I can't wait to see them in the wild.
[chattering]
Don't worry, Greybeard.
If a tiger's hunting you, you won't see it.
It'll sneak up behind you and bite the back of your--
[tiger growling]
[Jane] Let's go investigate.
But remember,
tigers have really good hearing
and can see six times better than we can at night.
The tiger might already know we're here.
[chattering]
[tiger growling]
[Greybeard chattering]
[David] Look! A tiger paw print in the mud.
One is definitely close.
That's a big paw. I think we're dealing with a boy tiger.
Boy tigers are usually bigger than girl tigers.
- [snarling] - [Greybeard chattering]
[gasps] There he is.
Tigers love to chase.
- So whatever you do, don't run! - [Greybeard shrieking]
- Greybeard! - [tiger snarls]
- [gasps] Whoa. - [yelps]
[roars]
[Greybeard shrieking]
Don't worry. I have an idea.
[tiger snarls]
- [snarling, growling] - [shrieking]
[horn honking]
[roars]
- Greybeard! - [Greybeard whimpering]
- [Jane, David shout] - [Greybeard shrieks]
[both grunting, groaning]
Oh, hi, Jane's mom.
Mom, it's supposed to be dark in here if we're gonna finish our mission.
You'll have to finish tomorrow. It's getting late.
That's perfect.
Yes. Perfect time for you to get ready for bed
and for David to go home.
No, to save tigers.
Jane, you can save as many tigers as you want in your dreams.
Mom, there's less than 4,000 of them left in the wild,
and that's because of us.
People keep taking over their territory.
We're trying to figure out why they come out at night.
Because if we can understand them...
You can save them. Yes, I know.
I bet they're nocturnal. Tigers saved.
Good night, David.
She's good. We should ask her for her help on more of our missions.
Nice try, Mom.
Nocturnal means active at night,
but tigers don't always sleep during the day.
Sometimes they explore.
Then they must like nighttime because it's better for hunting.
- Bye, David. - [Jane] Stay, David.
Maybe it's better for hunting, Mom, but why?
Is it easier to catch prey in the dark?
Or is it because they don't run into other predators?
Or is it because they have good night vision?
- Or is it because-- - You have ten minutes.
[both] Yes!
Thanks, Mom.
[whispering] The tiger could be anywhere, so try to stay quiet.
[stair creaks]
[whispering] What? Not my fault.
[stair creaks]
See?
[tiger growling]
[Jane gasps] The tiger. He's looking at Greybeard.
[Greybeard whimpering]
- [snarls] - [shrieks]
What did I say about running?
- [snarling continues] - [shrieking continues]
- Boo! - [David, Jane scream]
[laughs]
Man, it is so easy to scare you two.
You should see the looks on your faces. Total terror.
That's only because we thought you were a tiger.
- I'm sure that makes sense to you. - We're tracking one.
Or it's tracking us?
Mostly Greybeard.
Oh, yeah. He totally looks like a tiger treat.
I hope you find the tiger before it finds your monkey friend.
- Chimpanzee. - Oh. Right.
Wanna help find the tiger, Annisa?
[sighs] I'd love to, but I'm on co-op duty,
and I've got an animal of my own to deal with.
Really? What kind of animal?
Well, I'm not sure yet, but something moved into the garden shed
and made a charming mess to clean up.
It must be the tiger.
I was thinking more like a skunk or a raccoon.
But, yeah, maybe it's a-a giant cat.
I think I know how to complete this mission.
What happens now?
We wait.
For how long?
As long as it takes.
If we're gonna observe the tiger's natural behavior, he can't know we're here.
So we have to stay perfectly quiet and still, maybe for hours.
Or at least until bedtime.
Mmm. Which is soon, right?
[cat meows]
Wait, did you see that?
Is it the tiger?
- [Annisa gasps] - [meowing]
[gasps] Look.
[meows]
A cat? Can we keep her?
Cats and tigers are in the same family.
Maybe studying the little cat will help us figure out
how to get closer to our big cat.
So, does that mean yes?
W-We don't know anything about this cat yet,
so don't get too attached, okay?
Too late. I already love Catasaurus Rex.
[Annisa chuckles]
That's what I'm going to name her.
Well, whatever its name is,
that cat could be somebody's lost pet or maybe even feral.
What's feral?
It's what you call an animal that should be tame, like a pet,
but is actually wild.
[Annisa] Exactly.
You two hang back.
I'm gonna go do some research on what to do next for that little kitty.
[meows]
So, no petting?
Zero petting.
I'll be right back.
Why don't you two keep looking
while I wait to see if the tiger comes to visit its cousin?
Not exactly how that works.
Do you just wanna stay close to Catasaurus Rex?
[chuckles] Walkie me if you see anything.
Will do.
- [Greybeard chattering] - [Jane] Let's go, Greybeard.
[cat meows]
If I was a tiger, where would I go?
[thudding]
[chatters]
I don't see him. Are you sure he's in there?
[chattering]
The laundry room wasn't exactly what I was thinking.
Yes, Dad and Pop, I promise to take care of Catasaurus Rex.
I'll feed her and pet her. And Millie can clean out her litter box?
[branch snaps]
Jane? Greybeard?
Hopefully not a tiger sneaking up behind me?
[leaves rustling]
[David whimpering]
- [growling] - [Greybeard hoots]
[gasps]
Time for the hunted to become the hunter.
[chatters]
[snarling, growling]
[tiger sniffing]
[gasps]
[sniffing continues]
- We can't let him know we're watching him. - [walkie crackles]
- [Jane's mom, on walkie] Jane? - [tiger snarls]
Your ten minutes are up. It's bedtime.
[growling]
- [shrieking] - Greybeard!
I told you tigers love to chase!
- [roaring] - [shrieking]
- Jane. - [Jane] Can't talk now, Mom.
The tiger's trying to eat Greybeard. Again.
We have to go help them.
And possibly ground them. [sighs]
- [tiger snarling, roaring] - [Greybeard shrieking]
[snarls, growls]
Hurry, Greybeard, this way!
[roars, growling]
[sniffing]
[chatters]
Do you think he's gone?
[whimpers]
- [screams] - Jane! Stop screaming.
[Jane] Sorry.
We thought you were a tiger.
We agreed on ten minutes.
Saving animals takes time.
But I think your prediction that they like to hunt at night was right.
But we still have to figure out why.
He went after Greybeard again?
Yeah, but not after me.
- I wonder why he's only hunting Greybeard. - Why don't you sleep on it?
Come on, David. I told your pop I'd drop you off.
[elevator bell dings]
- [inhales sharply] - Don't.
You either.
[sighs]
Hey, tiger trackers.
Annisa, any news?
Does Catasaurus Rex have a family?
Who's Catasaurus Rex?
[stammering] You know what? Never mind. You can talk about it tomorrow.
Good night, Annisa. These two are going to sleep.
But it's freezing outside.
- What if the cat gets cold? - Or the tiger?
So, I'm guessing there's another cat these two wanna save?
Catasaurus Rex.
- What did you discover? - Still trying to figure out what to do.
But I read online if you feed a stray cat, you can find out if it's feral.
We get to feed Rexy?
[Annisa] Sure. [chuckles]
If she eats while you're there, that means she's tame.
Feral cats won't eat with people around.
So, what do we do if she's tame?
I-I'm sure Annisa will try to find her family.
Good plan. And what do we do if she's feral?
I'll trap her and get her off the property.
Trap her?
Well, feral cats can be dangerous.
Just because something is dangerous doesn't mean we shouldn't care about it.
Tigers can be dangerous. Just ask Greybeard.
But they still deserve a home.
Yeah.
Tell you what, I'll put some blankets out tonight and get some cat food.
Tomorrow, we can feed the cat after you guys are done school.
Deal?
- Deal. - Maybe put out a pillow too?
Absolutely.
[David exhales sharply]
[sighs]
[walkie crackles]
[Jane, on walkie] David?
- Hi, Jane. - You okay?
[sighs] I'm worried about Rexy.
Are you okay?
I'm worried about the tiger. And all tigers.
Any ideas?
"My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature."
Jane Goodall?
Yeah.
What does it mean?
Living in harmony means being kind,
not hurting anyone or anything, and having respect for each other.
[Jane snoring]
Terrible. Walkie-talkie.
[Jane grunts]
Now.
But, Mom, David's worried Annisa's gonna get rid of his cat.
- That cat can't live in the shed. - Then we should find it another home.
Yeah, like with me.
Once I convince my dads.
Sometimes living together peacefully is leaving things alone,
especially wild things.
[sighs]
For now, you need to get a good night's sleep
so you can get a fresh start on your mission tomorrow.
All right?
All right.
- All right? - All right.
[Jane's mom] Sleep tight. You've got an animal to help tomorrow.
[sighing]
Oh, Millie's in there getting ready.
[sighs]
What's up?
Annisa found a cat living in the garden shed.
Really?
I named her.
Hmm, let me guess. After a dinosaur?
- Catasaurus Rex. Rexy for short. - Clever.
[sighs]
- Anything else you wanna tell me? - [sighs]
Annisa said Rexy might belong to a family or be feral,
but what if she's tame and all alone?
I've always wanted a cat.
I'd even share her with Millie?
I understand why you wanna take care of her, Davey,
but a pet is a huge responsibility.
But I wanna give Rexy a home.
A forever one, like what you and Dad gave me.
Whoa, you're really going all in.
So, that's a yes?
Thanks, Pops.
Adopting a pet is a lot different than adopting kids,
but it's still a decision we need to make as a family.
- And Millie's been angling for a dog. - We could get both.
Why don't we wait and find out if Catasaurus Rex even needs a home?
Fine.
- We'll talk more after school, okay? - Thanks, Pop.
- Love you. - Love you too.
Now, do you want a bagel or scrambled eggs?
Both.
[Jane] We need to find Annisa.
[Millie] David?
Hurry, Millie. We'll drop you off at home.
Finally! Dibs on feeding.
[Jane] Hurry! Let's go.
Let the exciting waiting begin.
As thrilling as that sounds,
I've gotta take care of other things around the building.
I hope she's not feral.
Well, feral for cats just means she doesn't want to be around people.
Since tigers and feral cats are both wild, I wonder if it's the same for tigers.
- Yeah, I have no idea. - [chuckles]
I'll come back and check on you guys in a bit.
Don't get eaten by a tiger.
That means you, Greybeard.
[David] Thanks, Annisa.
Come eat the food, Rexy.
Or don't, if you're happy being feral. Your choice.
I love you either way.
[Greybeard chattering]
[groans]
[groaning]
I don't think Catasaurus Rex is coming out to eat.
[sighs]
- [tiger growling, snarling] - [whimpers]
She may not be, but a tiger is.
While we wait for the cat to eat,
I think I know how we can figure out why tigers like night hunting so much.
- And this time I want him to chase you. - [whimpers]
[Jane] Here's the plan.
[growling continues]
[whimpering]
Almost.
- [whimpers] - [tiger sniffs]
[snarls]
Almost.
- [snarling] - [Greybeard shrieking]
Now!
[Greybeard whimpering]
- [both screaming] - [shrieks]
[roars]
- [growling] - [Greybeard chattering]
[shrieking]
Was that how that was supposed to go?
Not exactly. Actually, not at all.
I forgot tigers will sometimes climb to catch their prey.
- [shrieking] - [roaring, snarling]
They're headed to the roof. Come on.
- [snarling continues] - [shrieking continues]
[sighs]
[growling]
[grunts, shrieks]
[both screaming]
[Jane] We're people!
You don't like being around us!
[hisses]
[chatters]
The reason why the tiger kept going after you, not me and David,
is the same reason they like night better than day.
They want to stay away from loud and dangerous people.
Just like feral cats.
[Greybeard chatters]
The cat! We should see what's happening with Catasaurus Rex.
[chatters]
- [cat meows] - So, the cat's not feral?
Well, she meowed at me, and then she started eating,
so she seems pretty tame.
- Does that mean Rexy needs a home? - I don't think so, David.
I also found this post online. [sighs]
Her real name is "Pawjamas"?
- That's actually pretty good. - [chuckles]
[Pawjamas purring]
[David] Aw. You really are such a pretty kitty.
- I'm glad you have a home. - Yeah, me too.
But tigers are still losing their homes.
That's why there are less and less of them.
But what can we do about that?
Since tigers want to be left alone like feral cats,
maybe there's a way to make sure they have a space that's all their own.
I still want to adopt a cat, but maybe we could also adopt a tiger?
That's a great idea.
But I don't know if our parents would be too happy to have a tiger in the house.
Where do you get a litter box that big?
Do you use a scoop or a shovel?
[chuckles] Well, you can't adopt one for real,
but if you care for one through a tiger sanctuary,
you can help them and protect where they live.
We can use our allowance.
Or some of our allowance?
Sounds good to me. Tigerasaurus Rex, here we come.
Let's go find one online.
[Jane's mom clears throat]
Or maybe that's a tomorrow-night thing.
- [David] Bye, Pawjamas. I love you. - [Pawjamas meows]
- Hey. How'd it go with Catasaurus Rex? - She has a family.
And her real name is Pawjamas.
- Oh, that's pretty good. [chuckles] - That's what I said.
[sighs]
You okay, bud?
I'm happy she has a home.
- And now I get to dream of other pets. - And other pet names.
Yeah.
Like...
Birdadactylus.
- Fishosaur. - [chuckles]
Pupiceratops.
[Millie] I like Pupiceratops!
Okay, you two. Time for bed.
Actually, Jane, Greybeard and I have one more thing we have to finish first.
Please?
[growling, roars]
Now, this is a great way to see a tiger.
No wonder tigers like night. It's the best time for them to be alone.
[David] They really are beautiful.
- [chattering] - [both] Shh!
[growls]
[Greybeard whimpers]
Living in harmony with nature isn't easy, is it?
No. But it's worth it.
[chattering]
[whines]
[Jane] Help save the tigers.
[Greybeard chatters]
[Jane's mom] Jane, David, it's time to say good night.
Oh, this looks like a nice tiger sanctuary.
Yeah, they have a lot of land.
- [Jane's mom] Jane? - Soon, Mom.
We're still researching. Plus, we have a call.
- You have a call? With who? - Nayla Azmi.
Who's that? And why can't you talk to her in the morning?
Nayla protects the forest where the last Sumatran tigers live in the wild.
That's in Indonesia. And she should be calling us any...
- [video call ringing] - Minute.
- Please? - Please?
Okay. You have five minutes.
- Again. - Thanks, Mom.
[David] Thanks, Jane's mom.
- [both] Hi, Nayla! - Hello! You must be Jane and David.
Thanks for talking to us. We have so many questions about tigers.
Wow. Where are you right now, Nayla? It looks so pretty.
I'm in a village called Timbang Lawan,
which is located next to the Leuser Ecosystem,
the only place in the world has orangutan, tiger, rhino and elephant
coexist in the wild together.
Look at that tiger. It looks like the tiger that tried to eat Greybeard.
We saved him though. Nayla, have you ever met a tiger?
[Azmi] Actually, yes.
When I was about four years old,
I was living with my grandparents, and I found orange kittens,
and my grandparents freak out, saying that,
-"Nayla, that's a baby tiger!" - [chuckles]
The tiger actually doesn't like humans, so we have to keep our distance.
The tiger we were tracking didn't want to be around us, that's for sure.
It's very important to respect them, protect them,
because they are part of us, as indigenous Sumatran Batak people.
That's so cool that you're connected to tigers.
How did you get started helping them?
The first time I stepped into the forest, it changed my life forever.
I just felt it's a magical place.
And that's when I knew that I have to become the forest patroller
to protect the forests.
What does a forest patroller do?
[Azmi] You come into the forest,
and you secure that area from any harm
to the plant species or the animal that live around that area.
After ten years working on the ground, I decided to create my own organizations
in order to encourage more Sumatran indigenous women
to get involved to protect the forests.
But what is hurting the tigers and other animals in that forest?
[Azmi] Their home are taken away for development
and other things related to human activity.
We have to educate a lot of people
because if we do not do something about it,
we're going to lose them forever.
We're gonna help a tiger sanctuary. What else can we do?
You can go to the forest near your area
and just take a moment to feel one with the forest itself.
The most important thing that you need to do is to connect--
reconnect your soul to the forest.
It's your home.
I love that idea.
- Jane, let's go to the forest. - [Jane's mom] Nice try.
Not tonight. And your five minutes are up.
[sighs] We gotta go, Nayla. Thank you so much for talking to us.
We'll connect with the forest and tell everyone to do it too.
- Glad to hear it. Bye! - [both] Bye, Nayla!
Okay, now it's definitely time to wrap this up.
Good night, David.
Not so fast, David.
Mom, we still have to pick a tiger sanctuary to support.
Just five more minutes.
- Please? - Please?
Three minutes, max.
- Thanks, Mom. - Pick a good one.
[David] Oh, Jane. I found another great tiger sanctuary.
