Stripy Safari/Wool

Season 1 Episode 32 | 23m 31s | CC

Sally and Nick learn that stripes serve different purposes for different species. A coral snake's stripes tell other animals to stay away, zebra stripes help zebras identify each other, and the stripes on an iris attract birds and bees. / A visit to Finola's farm teaches Sally and Nick how wool yarn is made from sheep to scarf.
