1
00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:05,519
We're too self-conscious
about our appearance, don't you think?

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,631
- Really, we are.
- Yes.

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,036
Animals don't care
what they look like, do they?

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,196
lf l was an alligator, for example,

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,995
l wouldn't go round thinking
''Oh, no, l've got a really long nose''

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:23,116
l wouldn't want my nose to be surgically
altered or l couldn't eat my prey.

7
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:27,836
Know what l mean? They take
a very practical approach, the animals.

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,239
Kangaroos look stupid, don't they,
with all that hopping about,

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,079
with all the hoppity, hoppity hop
and everything,

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,193
but they're probably thinking
''All the hopping's a bit boring,

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,474
''but on the plus side, l'm in the Guinness
Book Of Records - l hop really well.''

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,469
So, l feel sorry for them, the kangaroos,
l do feel a bit sorry for them,

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,309
because they've got their pouch,
you know that pouch,

14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,468
it's actually part of their body - it's not
like they've gone out and bought it -

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,636
they have the pouch all the time.

16
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,958
l'd hate to be a marsupial.
l wouldn't like that.

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,038
l feel sorry for the little baby kangaroos.

18
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,358
l can't remember, what do you call 'em -
jimmies or johnnies or joeys?

19
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,439
l think it's a joey.
l saw a programme about it once.

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,518
Anyway, the little joeys are in the pouch

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,915
and they can't see nothing.

22
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,033
When they're little they can't see above
or nothing - they ain't got no periscope

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,310
or a hole in the pouch.

24
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,638
So, to them, it's probably like
they've been kidnapped or something.

25
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,911
Like they've been stuffed
in the boot of a car,

26
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,350
so they probably spend
the first three months of their lives

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,711
thinking they're growing up in Sicily
or somewhere like that,

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,195
and then they pop their head above
and think

29
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:48,675
''Bugger me, l'm in Australia.''

30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,476
lt must be a shock. l should imagine
it would be traumatic for them.

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,637
But, kangaroos don't get counselling.

32
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,274
He just has to get on with his life.

33
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,675
We can learn a lot from animals.
