I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT A SHOW PUT ON BY DINOSAURS CALLED THE ORYCTORID-- >> ORYCTODROMEUS.

I HOPE THEY PICK ME.
>> I WONDER WHAT ORYCTODROMEUS LOOK LIKE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT SPECIES BEFORE.
>> WELL, THEN IT'S HIGH TIME YOU DID!
BEHOLD THE ORYCTODROMEUS!
SEE THEIR LONG BODIES?
THEY'RE BUILD PERFECTLY TO HELP ORYCTODROMEUS DIG AND MAKE BURROWS.
>> DID YOU SAY DIG?
>> YES, DIG.

>> WELL, A BURROW'S A WHOLE OR A TUNNEL.
SOMETIMES, ORYCTODROMEUS LIVE IN THEM!
>> WAIT!
THEY DIG HOLES AND LIVE IN THEM?
WOW!
MAYBE I'M ACTUALLY AN ORYCTODROMEUS!
>> [SQUAWK] I'M QUITE CERTAIN YOU'RE A PTERANODON, DON.
>> YEAH.
PROBABLY.
IT WOULD TAKE ME FOREVER TO MAKE A HOLE BIG ENOUGH TO LIVE IN.
I WONDER HOW THEY DO IT.
>> I HAVE A HYPOTHESIS.
THEIR ARMS LOOK REALLY STRONG.
I BET ORYCTODROMEUS DIG THEIR BURROWS WITH THEIR STRONG ARMS AND HANDS.
>> GOOD HYPOTHESIS, BUDDY.
MAYBE WHEN YOU MEET THE ORYCTODROMEUS, YOU'LL SEE HIM DIG AND FIND OUT IF YOU WERE RIGHT.
>> I'D ACTUALLY RATHER NOT SEE THEM DIG.
I JUST WANT TO SEE THE SHOW.
IT REALLY IS A GOOD SHOW, RIGHT?
>> THAT IS WHAT I'VE HEARD, AND IF ANY DINOSAUR CAN DO IT, IT WOULD BE THE ORYCTODROMEUS.
THEY CAN DIG AND WRIGGLE AND BURROW, AND THEY GOT QUITE A TAIL!
>> SEE, KIDS?
IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT SHOW.
I JUST HOPE WE GET THERE IN TIME.
>> IN TIME?
OH, TIME!
THAT REMINDS ME.

BYE-BYE, HOLES.
HOLES?

THE ORYCTODROMEUS COULD BE HIDING IN THEIR HOLES.

WE'VE GOT TIME.

>> HELLO.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> WE'RE ALL SAYING GOOD EVENING.
MY FAMILY'S BURROWS DON'T CONNECT, SO WE MISS EACH OTHER WHEN WE GO TO BED EACH MORNING.
>> YOU GO TO BED EACH MORNING?
>> YEAH!
ORYCTODROMEUS ARE CREPUSCULAR.
>> CREPUSCULAR?
>> YEP.
CREPUSCULAR MEANS WE'RE MOST ACTIVE AROUND DAWN, YOU KNOW, FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, AND DUSK LIKE RIGHT NOW.
>> OH, I GET IT.
DAD SAID THAT YOU PUT ON A SHOW WHEN YOU'RE ACTIVE.
>> THAT'S WHY WE COULDN'T FIND YOU EARLIER TODAY.
>> BY THE WAY, I'M RICK ORYCTODROMEUS.
WELCOME TO OUR OASIS.
>> THANKS.
I'M TINY PTERANODON, AND THIS IS MY SISTER SHINY AND MY BROTHERS BUDDY AND DON.
>> SO MANY HOLES.
DID YOU DIG ALL THOSE YOURSELF?
>> HA HA!
NAH.
NONE OF US COULD DIG THAT MANY HOLES WITHOUT HELP.
THAT'S WHY IT'S GREAT TO LIVE TOGETHER AS A BIG FAMILY.
WE ALL WORK TOGETHER.
>> DO YOU REALLY LIKE SLEEPING IN HOLES?
>> I LOVE IT.
BURROWS ARE A SAFE PLACE TO KEEP OUR BABIES.
THEY'RE PROTECTED FROM ALL KINDS OF WEATHER AND DARK, TOO, AND THAT'S GOOD FOR US BECAUSE WE SLEEP MOST OF THE DAY.
>> BUT HOW DO YOU DIG ALL THOSE BURROWS WITH JUST YOUR ARMS?
>> WE USE OUR ARMS, OUR SNOUTS, AND EVEN OUR TAILS TO BRACE US WHILE WE DIG.
CHECK IT OUT.
TA-DA!
>> YAY!
>> I GUESS MY HYPOTHESIS WAS WRONG, RICK.
YOU USE EVERYTHING TO DIG, NOT ONLY YOUR ARMS.
>> YOU ALSO USE YOUR SNOUT AND TAIL.
>> HEY.
I WANT TO TRY.
WILL YOU DIG WITH ME RICK?
>> I WOULD, DON, BUT RIGHT NOW, THERE'S SOMETHING MY FAMILY AND I HAVE TO DO.
>> DIG MORE HOLES?
>> I KNOW.
PUT ON THE SHOW?
>> EXACTLY!
IT'S SHOWTIME!
>> YES!
>> TAKE YOUR SEATS, FOLKS.
>> [CHEERING] >> AND NOW FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE, A SHOW THAT SHOWS WHAT A FAMILY CAN DO WHEN IT WORKS TOGETHER.
>> ENH.
>> WHOO-HOO!
>> HEY!
HUP!
HUP!
>> OOH!
>> ENH!
>> HEY!
>> HO!
>> WHOO-HOO!
>> OOH!
>> HEY!
>> WHOO!
>> HEY!
>> WHOO!
>> HEY!
>> HUP!
HUP!
>> HEY!
>> WHO WANTS TO BE ON TOP OF THE PYRAMID?
>> HEY!
>> TA-DA!
>> [CHEERING] >> NICE JOB, SHINY!
>> SO DID YOU LIKE THE SHOW?
>> IT WAS AMAZING.
>> WE LOVED IT.
>> [SQUAWK] THANKS FOR LETTING ME BE IN THE SHOW.
>> THANKS FOR LETTING ME SEE YOUR HOLES.
I CAN'T WAIT TO DIG A HOLE JUST LIKE YOU GUYS.
ORYCTODROMEUS ARE THE BEST DINOSAURS EVER.
>> [SQUAWK] IT WAS WONDERFUL, THE PERFECT END TO A LOVELY DAY.
>> MM-HMM.
I AGREE WHOLE-HEARTEDLY!
HA HA HA!
I LOVED THE WHOLE THING!

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS] >> THERE'S THE WHISTLE.

THANKS FOR THE SHOW!
>> [SQUAWK] OH, WHAT A DAY.
TIME FOR BED, KIDS.
EVERYONE IN THE NEST?
>> YEP!
>> CAN I SIT IN MY ORYCTODROMEUS HOLE ONE MORE TIME BEFORE BED?
>> WELL, IT'S LATE, AND YOU'RE ALL TIRED.
>> PLEASE.
IT'S BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL OF US.
>> DON'S RIGHT!
IT IS BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL OF US!
>> OH, ALL RIGHT.
INTO THE HOLE YOU GO, KIDS.
>> [CHEERING] >> HA HA HA!
ROOM FOR ONE MORE, HON.
>> YEAH!
COME ON, MOM!
>> HMM.
PTERANODON!
WHOO!
HA HA HA!
>> [LAUGHING] >> THAT WAS AWESOME, MOM!
>> GREAT JOB, MOM!
>> HI, THERE.
I'M DR. SCOTT THE PALEONTOLOGIST, AND THIS IS ORYCTODROMEUS.
>> ORYCTODROMEUS.
>> ORYCTHOODOMEUS.
>> ORYCTODROMEUS.
>> ORYCTODROMEUS WAS A BURROWING DINOSAUR.
THAT MEANS IT DUG HOLES IN THE GROUND.
THE HOLES, OR BURROWS, WERE PROBABLY USED TO PROTECT BABIES FROM PREDATORS.
[DOORBELL RINGS] >> POINT OF FACT!
DINOSAURS DID NOT PUT ON ACROBATIC SHOWS.
>> AW!
>> THANK YOU.
>> WELL, THAT'S TRUE, BUT WE DO THINK THAT ORYCTODROMEUS DUG TUNNELS UNDERGROUND.
>> YAY!
>> CAN YOU THINK OF ANY ANIMALS ALIVE TODAY THAT BURROW UNDERGROUND?
>> MOLES.
>> MEERKATS.
>> AND MANY OTHER ANIMALS LIKE RABBITS AND FOXES ALSO MAKE THEIR HOMES UNDERGROUND.
>> HOW DO DINOSAURS DIG THEIR HOLES?
>> WELL, LIKE MANY OTHER BURROWING ANIMALS, ORYCTODROMEUS PROBABLY USED ITS BIG FRONT LIMBS AND STRONG NOSE TO DO THE DIGGING.
LIVING UNDERGROUND ISN'T JUST A GREAT WAY TO STAY AWAY FROM PREDATORS.
IT'S ALSO A GOOD PLACE TO BE IF IT'S REALLY HOT OR REALLY COLD ABOVE GROUND.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.
REMEMBER, GET OUTSIDE, GET INTO NATURE, AND MAKE YOUR OWN DISCOVERIES.FE CONDUCTOR.
TODAY, WE'RE GONNA MEET COME CREATURES THAT LIVE IN SEA SHELLS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
SHELLS ARE THEIR HOME, SO COME ON ALONG WITH ME ON THE DINOSAUR TRAIN!
ALL ABOARD!
>> AND THIS IS THE FEATHER THAT I FOUND BY THE TRAIN STATION.
I'M NOT SURE WHO IT CAME FROM.
OH, WELL.
>> THEN MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK AT MY COLLECTION.
>> WHOA!
>> MY SHINY SEA SHELL COLLECTION.
>> LOOK!
THAT ONE'S ALL POINTY AND POKY, KIND OF LIKE A TOOTH.
>> AND THAT ONE'S DIFFERENT COLORS.
IT HAS STRIPES.
>> AND THIS FEELS SO SMOOTH.
>> [SIGHS] I WANT MORE.
I BET THERE ARE A LOT MORE AT THE BIG POND.
>> WHOO WHOO!
TIME FOR A RIDE ON THE DINOSAUR TRAIN.
>> [HUMMING] >> MOM!
>> DAD!
>> CAN WE ALL GO TO THE BIG POND?
>> WE ALL WANT TO ADD TO MY SEA SHELL COLLECTION.
>> GREAT IDEA.
>> AND, YES, YOUR FATHER WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE YOU.
>> UH... >> AHEM.
>> AHEM.
I SURE WOULD.
>> YEAH!
>> WHILE YOUR MOTHER HAS SOME ALONE TIME, WE'LL ALL TAKE A RIDE ON THE DINOSAUR TRAIN!
>> YEAH!
>> LET'S GO, TEAM PTERANODON!
[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS] >> HELLO, PTERANODON FAMILY.
WHERE'S THE DINOSAUR TRAIN TAKING YOU TODAY?
>> TO THE BIG POND.
>> WE'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR MORE COOL, AMAZING, AND SHINY SHELLS.
>> WELL, WELL, WELL.
YOU WANT TO TALK SHELLS, THEN I GOT SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.
ALL ABOARD!
[WHISTLE BLOWS] TICKETS, TICKETS, PLEASE.
>> DON'T FORGET, YOU SAID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW US ABOUT BRIGHT, BEAUTIFUL, AND SHINY SEA SHELLS.
>> I DO!
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS COLLECTION OF SHELLS FROM CREATURES THAT LIVE IN THE SEA--A SNAIL, AN OYSTER.
>> OOH!
>> AND AN AMMONITE.
>> AHH!
>> OH, OH, OH!
I REALLY WANT ONE OF THOSE!
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL!
>> WELL, SHINY, IF I FIND ONE, IT'S ALL YOURS.
>> THANKS!
JUST MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY FEET.
I ONCE SAW A SEA SHELL WALK AWAY FROM ME ON ITS LEGS.
>> OH!
IF YOU SEE A SHELL WITH LEGS, THAT MEANS THERE'S A CREATURE LIVING IN IT, SO DON'T PICK IT UP.
>> LIVING IN IT?!
>> WHOA!
DOES THAT MEAN SOME OF THE SHELLS IN SHINY'S COLLECTION WERE ONCE HOUSES FOR LITTLE ANIMALS?
>> YES.
ACTUALLY, ALL THE SHELLS WERE HOUSES, BUDDY.
>> HMM.
I WONDER IF THAT MEANS THAT DIFFERENT KINDS OF ANIMALS LIVE IN DIFFERENT KINDS OF SHELLS.
>> GOOD OBSERVATION, BUDDY, AND THE CREATURES THAT LIVE IN SHELLS ARE NOT DINOSAURS.
THEY'RE MUCH SMALLER AND HAVE DIFFERENT FEATURES.
>> WELL, IF I FIND A SHELL TODAY THAT HAS SOMEONE LIVING IN IT, I JUST HOPE HE'S NICE LIKE ME.
>> THAT'S SWIRLY SHELL MUST BE THAT GUY'S HOME.
>> AND IF THAT AMMONITE'S HOME IS HARD LIKE THE SHELL IN SHINY'S COLLECTION, THEN I HAVE A HYPOTHESIS.
I BET THAT CREATURE USES HIS SHELL FOR PROTECTION.
>> YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT, BUDDY, SO BE PREPARED, AND YOU MIGHT JUST FIND A FRIEND IN A SHELL AND VERY SOON BECAUSE HERE WE ARE.
BIG POND!
NEXT STOP, BIG POND!
BYE, PTERANODON FAMILY.
>> BYE!
>> I HOPE YOUR TIME IS SWELL AND YOU COLLECT LOTS OF SHELLS.
>> DAD, I DON'T WANT ANY SEA SHELLS FOR MY COLLECTION.
CAN I LOOK FOR OTHER STUFF OVER THERE?
>> SURE.
JUST STAY WHERE I CAN SEE YOU, DON.
>> DON'T YOU WANT SHELLS?
>> NOPE!
BECAUSE I LIKE TEETH AND ROCKS AND FEATHERS BETTER.
>> KNOW WHAT I WANT TO LOOK FOR?
>> SHELLS FOR ME?
>> NOPE!
LUNCH!
[SQUAWK] >> HEH HEH.
GOOD IDEA, TINY.
I'LL HELP.
WE'LL CATCH ENOUGH FISH FOR EVERYONE.
>> DON'T WORRY, SHINY.
I'LL STILL HELP YOU.
HEY!
THERE'S ONE RIGHT THERE!
>> HELLO?
ANYONE HOME?
KNOCK, KNOCK.
[SQUAWK] THAT ONE'S MOVING!
>> HA HA HA!
>> SORRY.
THIS ONE'S OCCUPIED.
>> HELLO.
MY NAME IS SHINY, AND THIS IS MY BROTHER BUDDY.
>> HI.
>> AND I PROMISE THAT I DON'T WANT YOUR SHELL FOR MY COLLECTION.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO.
>> COLLECTION?
YOU COLLECT SHELLS?
ME, TOO!
IN FACT, I'M IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW ONE RIGHT NOW.
>> WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE SHELL YOU HAVE?
>> WELL, I AM A HERMIT CRAB, AND THE ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT US HERMIT CRABS IS THAT WE'RE BORROWERS.
>> YOU MEAN, YOU BORROW SHELLS?
>> EXACTLY.
WE BORROW SHELLS FROM OTHER ANIMALS WHEN THEY'RE NOT USING THEM.
WE LIVE IN THE SHELL FOR A WHILE UNTIL WE GROW TOO BIG, AND I HAVE TO FIND A BIGGER ONE.
>> AND YOU'VE GROWN, RIGHT?
>> YEP.
>> AND NOW YOU NEED A BIGGER HOME?
>> THIS ONE HERE'S GETTING TO BE A TIGHT FIT.
>> I CAN HELP YOU FIND A NEW HOME.
AFTER ALL, I KNOW A GOOD SHELL WHEN I SEE ONE.
>> HMM.
I'VE ALWAYS LIKED DINOSAURS WITH AN APPRECIATION FOR THE FINER SHELLS IN LIFE.
HA HA!
LET'S DO IT!
>> [SQUAWK] CAN I HELP, TOO?
>> SURE.
WE CAN ALL HELP, BUT I THINK I'VE ALREADY FOUND THE PERFECT SHELL.
JUST LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY.
>> HEY, HEY!
PRETTY NICE, EH, BUT NO GO!
NOT ENOUGH ROOM!
I'M A GROWING CRAB, NOT A SHRINKING ONE.
>> SO THAT MEANS WHEN YOU WERE A BABY CRAB YOU LIVED IN A TEENY SHELL.
>> AND THEN WHEN YOU GREW BIGGER, YOU HAD TO MOVE INTO BIGGER AND BIGGER SHELLS.
>> THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT.
YOU TWO ARE SMART ONES.
>> BUT WHERE WILL YOU GO IF WE CAN'T FIND A SHELL?
>> WELL, TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, I HAVE TO FIND A NEW HOME FOR PROTECTION BECAUSE WATER AND SEAWEED JUST DON'T KEEP ME SAFE ENOUGH.
>> YOU MEAN, SAFE FROM PREDATORS, EVEN IN THE WATER?
>> OH, YES.
THE WATER IS FULL OF FISH, AND THEY'RE VERY HUNGRY!
>> IT'S TOO BAD YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP THIS SHELL.
IT'S SO PRETTY.
>> I AGREE.
THIS IS A VERY, VERY FINE SHELL.
I BORROWED IT FROM A SEA CREATURE CALLED AN AMMONITE.
>> HEY!
THAT'S THE SHELL THE CONDUCTOR SHOWED US.
IT HAD THE SAME SWIRLY DESIGN AND EVERYTHING.
>> OH, YEAH!
GOOD MEMORY, TINY!
>> HENRY, WOULD YOU LIKE US TO FIND YOU THE SAME KIND OF SHELL ONLY BIGGER?
>> SHINY, I WOULD LOVE THAT!
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I NEED!
>> HOORAY!
LET'S SEARCH FOR SHELLS!
>> HA HA HA!
>> YEAH!
>> AWESOME!
>> SO COOL!
>> AHH.
>> HOW ABOUT THAT ONE?
>> CLAMSHELL?
NOPE.
NO ROOM FOR MY BOTTOM.
>> THAT ONE?
>> NOPE!
TOO BIG!
>> OOH!
I THINK I FOUND IT!
>> IT'S CUTE BUT NOT EXACTLY MY TASTE.
SORRY.
>> THAT'S OK.
IT JUST MEANS ONE MORE SHELL FOR MY COLLECTION.
>> [SQUAWK] PLENTY OF FISH FOR DINNER.
SO, TEAM, HOW GOES THE SHELL COLLECTING?
>> PRETTY GOOD.
WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT SHELL FOR HENRY.
>> THAT'S GREAT.
HENRY DESERVES THE RIGHT SHELL.
WAIT.
HENRY?
WHO'S HENRY?
DO I KNOW HENRY?
>> DAD, THIS IS HENRY.
>> WHERE?
I DON'T SEE HENRY.
>> RIGHT HERE!
HEH.
I'M HENRY.
>> OH!
HEY!
HENRY, GOOD TO MEET YOU.
>> AND I'M DON.
HI, HENRY.
>> [SQUAWK] ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE.
WE HAVE GOT TO FIND THE RIGHT SHELL FOR HENRY.
COME ON.
LET'S ALL LOOK.
>> WHOA!
LOOK AT THIS SHELL!
>> WHOA!
>> THAT SHELL LOOKS LIKE THE PERFECT HOME FOR YOU, HENRY.
HENRY?
>> [PANTING] I'M COMING, I'M COMING.
[GRUNTING] WHEW!
HMM.
GOOD SHELL.
JUST ONE PROBLEM.
I THINK THERE'S STILL A CREATURE USING IT.
>> IT'S AN AMMONITE JUST LIKE THE PICTURE THE CONDUCTOR SHOWED US!
>> I'M PRETTY SURE THAT AMMONITES LIVE UNDERWATER.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
THEY DO LIVE IN THE WATER.
>> MAYBE WE'D BETTER GET THIS GUY BACK IN THE BIG POND!
>> BE CAREFUL.
WE SEA CREATURES ARE DELICATE.
>> DON'T WORRY, HENRY.
I KNOW JUST HOW TO HANDLE DELICATE SEA SHELLS.
>> AHH.
>> HENRY, I'M SORRY YOU COULDN'T USE THAT SHELL FOR YOUR HOME.
>> EH, THAT'S OK. THAT AMMONITE NEEDED IT MORE THAN I DID.
EVERYONE NEEDS A HOME, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
>> HEY.
THERE'S A GOOD ONE!
>> [PANTING] I'M COMING!
HOLD UP!
>> OOH!
>> WHOA!
NOW THIS ONE'S GOT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR!
I CALL IT CURB APPEAL!
ENOUGH ROOM, GOOD-LOOKING, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I'LL BE PROTECTED FROM PREDATORS.
>> OH, HENRY, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
>> HA HA!
YEAH.
IT'S PRETTY GOOD-LOOKING, ISN'T IT?
>> I LIKE THE EDGES.
IT'S A NICE DESIGN.
>> AND A REALLY GREAT COLOR!
>> ALL RIGHT!
TIME TO PACK MY BAGS AND CALL IT A DAY, A MOVING DAY.
[CREAKING] >> [GIGGLING] >> GOOD-BYE, OLD SHELL!
HELLO, NEW ONE!
[GRUNTING] >> WHOO-HOO!
>> YEAH!
>> ALL RIGHT.
READY TO HANG SOME DRAPES, SLAP ON SOME NEW PAINT, AND CALL THIS PLACE MY OWN.
WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK OF MY NEW HOME?
>> WE LOVE IT!
>> YAY!
>> HA HA!
CHECK ME OUT!
THIS SHELL FITS ME SO WELL!
>> THAT REALLY IS ONE NICE SHELL.
I'M PROUD OF YOU KIDS.
YOU DID A GREAT THING FOR HENRY TODAY.
[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS] [SQUAWK] THAT'S OUR RIDE.
WELL, TEAM PTERANODON, IT'S TIME TO HEAD BACK TO THE DINOSAUR TRAIN.
>> BYE, HENRY!
>> BYE!
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, AND I'M COUNTING ON YOU, SHINY, WHEN IT'S TIME FOR A SHELL UPGRADE.
>> [SQUAWK] YOU BET!
I CAN'T WAIT, HENRY.
>> MOVE OVER.
>> GOOD NIGHT, KIDS.
>> GOOD NIGHT, TEAM.
>> GOOD NIGHT.
>> WASN'T TODAY THE GREATEST?
>> YEAH.
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK TO THE BIG POND.
I WANT TO SEE A BRACHIOPOD NEXT.
>> OR A BELEMNITE?
WHAT ABOUT A BELEMNITE?
>> A WHAT-A-POD AND A WHO-A-NITE?
>> SHH!
>> I JUST WANT TO SEE HENRY.
>> SHH!
>> [GIGGLING] >> SHH!
>> HI, THERE.
I'M DR. SCOTT THE PALEONTOLOGIST.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THESE ARE?
>> SEA SHELLS!
>> YEAH.
SEA SHELLS LIKE THESE HAVE BEEN USED AS HOMES FOR SEA CREATURES FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS, LONG BEFORE THERE WERE ANY DINOSAURS, AND CAN YOU THINK OF ANY ANIMALS WITH SHELLS LIVING TODAY?
>> CLAMS.
>> SEA SNAILS.
>> HERMIT CRAB.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
ALL OF THESE SEA CREATURES NEED SHELLS TO HELP PROTECT THEM FROM OTHER ANIMALS, PREDATORS, THAT TRY TO EAT THEM.
SOME ANIMALS, LIKE CLAMS, GROW A SHELL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THEIR BODIES.
AS THEY GET OLDER AND GROW BIGGER, THE SHELLS GET BIGGER, TOO, AND SOME SEA CREATURES, LIKE HERMIT CRABS, USE SHELLS MADE BY OTHER ANIMALS, SO AS THE HERMIT CRAB GETS OLDER, IT HAS TO FIND BIGGER AND BIGGER SHELLS.
>> HI, DR. SCOTT.
>> WELL, THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.
REMEMBER, GET OUTSIDE, GET INTO NATURE, AND MAKE YOUR OWN DISCOVERIES.
