Meet the Beetles/Tongue Tied

Season 2 Episode 5 | 23m 30s | CC

The kids learn how to keep critters away from their cookies. Stag beetles look scary, click beetles make noises, and bombardier beetles have a stinky surprise for visitors. / The Cat has some friends with marvelous tongues! Giraffes pick food off of thorny branches, a boa snake uses her tongue to smell, and chameleons use their lightning-fast tongues to catch prey.
