[bright music] - Hello.

- How you doing today?

- Great!

- Awesome.

Good.

I'm happy to hear that.

So one thing that I love most about the Brooklyn Preschool of Science is the animals.

There are different lizards, there are geckos, bearded dragons.

What else?

- Crab and a hamster.

- Hamsters, hermit crabs.

There are Madagascar hissing cockroaches, Guinea pigs.

Even a giant bunny.

Yeah!

- Yeah and there's a gecko.

- Yes, that's right.

So today I am going to take out some of these awesome animals.

Sahil, if you want to, you can pet them, you can hold 'em, maybe even put them on your head.

- What?

I don't like to.

- You don't have to.

I was just being silly.

Are you ready?

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna take out my first animal.

- What is it?

- Let's see.

My first animal, her name- - A skink!

- Is Einstein.

- And it's a skink.

- That's right.

Einstein is a blue-tongued skink.

Comes from Australia.

- I'm petting her.

- Good job.

How does she feel?

- Good.

- She feels good?

Here look.

Go right down the body.

Oh, you're being so gentle.

Thank you.

She is covered in scales.

- Scales.

- Yeah, she's covered in scales.

And she is coldblooded.

- Coldblooded.

- Yes.

And you know what?

Like most reptiles, she hatched from an egg.

- [Sahil] I just saw her tongue out.

- [Krystal] Yeah, she's sticking out her tongue.

What color is her tongue?

- Blue.

- That's right.

Do you know that in the animal kingdom, do you know what she does?

- [Sahil] Yeah.

- Colors can signify poison.

So if she's out somewhere walking around and there's a predator close by, do you know what she'll do?

- Yeah.

- She will stick out her blue tongue.

She'll go, "Na-na-na-na-na-na-na!"

And the predator says [gasps] "That animal has a blue tongue!"

- Na-na-na-na-na-na-na!

- Yeah, just like that.

And the predator says, "You know what?

That animal might be poisonous so I'm not going to eat her."

- No.

- Yeah.

And the skink gets to live another day.

- Yeah.

- Can you say hooray for the skink?

- Hooray!

- That's right.

So we have this awesome, awesome animal here.

And now I'm gonna show you another animal.

Are you ready?

- Yeah!

- And... - The turtle.

- Yeah, we have our box turtle.

Can you say hello box turtle?

- Hello box turtle.

- Yes, that's right.

Look, he has his house.

His whole house is right here.

- The shell?

- Yes.

And look, just like the blue-tongued skink, he has scales.

- Scales.

- He's coldblooded.

- Coldblooded.

- Yes.

And like most reptiles, hatched from an egg.

I'm gonna take out another animal.

Are you ready?

- Yeah.

- For the next animal?

- Yeah!

- Okay.

- Right there.

- Put this tank on the table like this.

One, two, oh!

One, two, three.

Got him this time.

Yes, this is my gerbil.

Can you say hello gerbil?

- Hello gerbil.

- Yes.

Now can you please take one finger?

Can you pet the gerbil for me?

How did she feel?

- Soft.

- She felt soft.

I have a question.

The gerbil, does the gerbil feel like the other animals?

No.

- No?

No.

This gerbil, is it covered in scales?

- No!

- That's right!

Look at this.

She's so hairy.

- Yeah.

- She's covered in fur and she's nice and warm.

- Yeah.

- She's warm blooded.

- Yeah.

- Yes.

Warm blooded.

Hey, this animal here, this gerbil, it's a mammal.

Can you say that?

Can you say mammal?

- Mammal.

- Yeah.

Mammals, they're warm blooded and they're covered in fur.

Do you want to pet her?

Would you like to hold her?

- No.

- No?

Okay.

Do you wanna say see you later to the gerbil?

- See you later.

- Alright, good job.

So the gerbil is a mammal, yes.

Are the other animals, the skink and the box turtle, are they mammals?

- No.

- No?

- No.

The skink and the turtle are not.

- Do you know what they are?

- Yeah.

- What are they?

- The turtle's walking!

- Yes.

Can you say reptiles?

- Reptiles.

- Yes.

Reptiles.

Unlike the gerbil, you see they don't have any hair.

- Nah.

- No.

They have scales.

- Scales.

- And they're cold blooded.

- Cold blooded.

- Yes.

Good job.

Look at the chart paper behind me.

On one side, look at the top.

It says reptiles.

- Reptiles.

- On the other side, mammals.

- Mammals.

- I have some pictures here.

Sahil.

- Yeah?

- I'm going to show you these pictures, okay?

And you tell me where I should place the picture.

Should I place it under a reptile or mammals.

Are you ready?

Well, not just yet.

I'm gonna tell you when.

I'll show you the picture first and then you tell me where it belongs, okay?

So remember, reptiles, covered in scales, hatch from eggs, and they're cold blooded.

Mammals, covered in fur.

Right?

They're warm.

- Warm.

- That's right.

And they did not hatch from an egg.

- They don't.

- No.

Are you ready?

I'm gonna show you your first picture.

Are you ready?

- Yeah.

- Friends at home, are you guys ready?

- Yeah.

- You think they're ready?

Okay.

First picture.

What is this guy?

A bunny rabbit.

- Bunny rabbit.

- Yes, bunny rabbit.

Hmm.

Where should I put the bunny rabbit?

Should I put it- - On this side.

- Way to go!

Gimme five.

You're awesome.

Because that's a mammal.

Okay, you ready?

What's next?

- Yeah.

- And whoa.

Bearded dragon!

- What is it?

- It's a bearded dragon.

- Yeah.

- Yes, covered in scales, cold-blooded, hatched from an egg.

Where should I put this guy?

- Good job, buddy.

He is a reptile.

Awesome.

Are you ready for the next?

Leopard gecko.

- Leopard gecko.

- Yeah, leopard gecko.

Where should I put the leopard gecko, do you think?

Gimme five.

You're so awesome.

- The kitten!

- Aw.

Where should I put it?

Oh, let's look at it again.

There are no scales.

- No scales?

- Yeah, no.

It's covered in fur.

So where should I put this guy?

He's not a reptile.

He's a mammal.

- A mammal.

- Yeah, that's right.

This little hairy guy is a mammal.

This one might be a little tricky.

Are you ready?

But we're gonna think about it, okay?

- Yeah.

- Who's this?

- Me!

- Sahil!

Wait a minute, are you a reptile or a mammal?

Think about it.

What do you have on the top of your head?

- Hair.

- Yes, that's right.

No scales.

- No scales.

- Where should I put this guy?

No, these guys are all covered in scales.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- I'm a mammal.

- That's right.

And there's one more to go.

You ready?

Where do I belong?

Where do you think?

- Here.

- What?!

I go right here with you, buddy.

Remember, we are warm-blooded, right?

- Warm blooded.

- That's right.

Covered in hair.

Can we say to our friends at home, see you later mammals?

- See you later mammals.

- Bye-bye now.

- See you next time.

- See you next time.
