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 the Japanese macaque uses hot springs to stay warm in the snowy winter.

Andy Day looks at baby animals as they learn jumping skills, which help them in many ways. Springbok don't just jump, they pronk, the odd-looking jerboa jumps to avoid danger, and the Arctic fox pups jump to help them burst through the snow.

Join Andy as he watches baby animals getting around. Wildebeest can learn to stand just three minutes after they're born on African plains. Adelie penguin chicks race across Antarctic rocks after their food and young caiman get a lift from mum in her jaws.

Andy Day looks at a selection of young animals as they learn important fishing lessons. Fish slip away from young grizzly bears in Canada, Oriental darters practise fishing with twigs, and river otter pups watch mum.
