Whoa.

♪ What are they?

I don'’’t know.

Plant shoots?

Some kind of mushrooms?

Hmm?

Ah!

Waahh!

Aahh!

Forest leeches!

Yep.

Ha!

They are so cool!

Yikes!

Run!

We'’’ve got to get outta here!

(Yelling) Forest leeches latch onto mammals, reptiles, and birds, and suck their blood!

Okay, what do we know?

Leeches don'’’t have eyes, but they locate their prey by sensing the heat from their bodies.

Once they have a target, they inch along after them.

Hey, they'’’re going right past Brookesia.

How come the leeches don'’’t know he'’’s there?

Oh, of course!

He'’’s cold blooded, so the leeches can'’’t read any heat off the chameleon, because the chameleon is the same temperature as the environment.

But we'’’re warm blooded.

Aaah!

And they know where we are!

Aaah... (Sniffling) Chris, stop sniffling.

It'’’s going to be okay.

I'’’m not sniffling.

I thought you were sniffling.

I'’’m not sniffling.

Well somebody'’’s sniffling.

BOTH: A streaked tenrec!

Tenrecs only live in Madagascar, and this little insectivore is a serious predator on the forest floor.

Martin, look out!

BOTH: Whoa!

MARTIN: Oh!

Saved by a streaked tenrec!

CHRIS: That'’’s right!

The streaked tenrec loves to eat insects, worms, and leeches.

So I guess the streaked tenrec is pretty good at rescuing miniaturized humans too.

Let'’’s get out of here while we still can.
