We're too self-conscious about our appearance, don't you think?
- Really, we are. - Yes.
Animals don't care what they look like, do they?
lf l was an alligator, for example,
l wouldn't go round thinking ''Oh, no, l've got a really long nose''
l wouldn't want my nose to be surgically altered or l couldn't eat my prey.
Know what l mean? They take a very practical approach, the animals.
Kangaroos look stupid, don't they, with all that hopping about,
with all the hoppity, hoppity hop and everything,
but they're probably thinking ''All the hopping's a bit boring,
''but on the plus side, l'm in the Guinness Book Of Records - l hop really well.''
So, l feel sorry for them, the kangaroos, l do feel a bit sorry for them,
because they've got their pouch, you know that pouch,
it's actually part of their body - it's not like they've gone out and bought it -
they have the pouch all the time.
l'd hate to be a marsupial. l wouldn't like that.
l feel sorry for the little baby kangaroos.
l can't remember, what do you call 'em - jimmies or johnnies or joeys?
l think it's a joey. l saw a programme about it once.
Anyway, the little joeys are in the pouch
and they can't see nothing.
When they're little they can't see above or nothing - they ain't got no periscope
or a hole in the pouch.
So, to them, it's probably like they've been kidnapped or something.
Like they've been stuffed in the boot of a car,
so they probably spend the first three months of their lives
thinking they're growing up in Sicily or somewhere like that,
and then they pop their head above and think
''Bugger me, l'm in Australia.''
lt must be a shock. l should imagine it would be traumatic for them.
But, kangaroos don't get counselling.
He just has to get on with his life.
We can learn a lot from animals.
