Andy's Baby Animals

Andy Day explains how baby animals are great at teamwork. In Africa, young meerkats learn to look out for their mob. Emperor penguins work together to keep their chicks fed and warm. The fry of convict fish stick together in a shoal to fool bigger fish.

Young animals must learn to hide. Andy Day sees how coatis follow mum's tail to safety in the forest. Eider ducks keep a wolf busy while their ducklings find a safe spot. The big mouthed hap is strangest of all - the young fish hide in its mouth.

Andy Day looks at how young animals explore. In Antarctica, a seal pup takes its first journey under the ice. Leopard cubs must climb as they explore the river bank with mum. A tiny goby fish faces a huge obstacle - getting up a waterfall!

Andy Day explains about the favourite meals of young animals. For meerkats, a scorpion is a tasty desert treat. In Finland, raccoon dog pups stock up before winter arrives. Young capuchin monkeys learn how to hammer and roll shellfish to get them open.
