Andy's Baby Animals

Andy Day looks at the tricky first steps of baby animals. Polar bear cubs slip on the arctic snow, a baby elephant needs mum's help to stand up, and mandarin ducklings face a huge leap from their tree trunk nest.

Andy Day looks at baby animals as they learn climbing skills. Bears make excellent climbers, but the young still have to practise this vital skill. Giant otters must master the art of climbing up muddy river banks to mark their territory.

Andy Day looks at a selection of baby animals as they learn how to warm up and cool down. King penguins huddle together for warmth and take a mud bath to cool down, and Japanese macaque use hot springs to stay warm in the snowy winter.

Andy learns how baby animals, such as the springbok and the jerboa, learn to jump. Plus, how Arctic fox puppies need to jump in order to make their way through heavy snow.

Andy Day looks at a selection of baby animals as they learn how to stand up and move around. Wildebeest learn to stand just three minutes after they are born, and Adelie penguin chicks must race to catch a parent for food.

Andy explores how animals in the wild learn to catch fish for survival. Canadian grizzly bears, Oriental darters and otter pups are among the many who are taught to fish from young.
