[00:00.13] Todd: So Meg, we are talking about animals; do you like to go to the zoo?

[00:04.63] Meg: I love to go to the zoo.

[00:06.38] Todd: Okay. So when you go to the zoo, what animals do you like to watch?

[00:10.13] Meg: I really like to watch giraffes. Giraffes are so tall and giraffes look really soft and friendly, so I wish that I could touch a giraffe someday.

[00:22.63] Todd: Oh, that's so true. There is a zoo near my house in California, and you can walk up some stairs and then you can feed the giraffes,

[00:32.38] and their face is the same height as your face, and they look really, really cute. Yeah, giraffes are great.

[00:39.63] Meg: Giraffes are so cute. Maybe someday, I can feed the giraffes.

[00:43.13] Todd: I like how giraffes look. I love their face.

[00:46.38] And I also love camels, also because I think camels have a similar face. They look really cool.

[00:52.88] Meg: I don't think camels are very cute.

[00:54.13] Todd: Really?

[00:55.13] Meg: Yeah. They're so hairy. Camels have so much hair that they look ugly.

[01:02.38] Todd: Oh really. I like camels. They always look cool and relaxed.

[01:06.88] Meg: They do look relaxed, but I like giraffes better than camels.

[01:11.38] Todd: Well, what about llamas? Llamas are kind of like camels and they're kind of like giraffes.

[01:16.38] They kind of have the same face. Do you like llamas?

[01:18.88] Meg: I think llamas look cute but I've heard that llamas aren't very friendly.

[01:24.38] Todd: Really?

[01:25.63] Meg: Have you heard about llamas spitting at people before?

[01:28.38] Todd: No. Actually, I think I heard camels do that but maybe llamas do it, too.

[01:33.38] Meg: Hmm, I'm not sure.

[01:35.38] Todd: Okay. So what about other animals? What other animals do you like at the zoo?

[01:40.88] Meg: I really like the zebras because zebras are black and white with stripes.

[01:47.13] So the zebra stripes are really cool, and zebras are similar to horses.

[01:54.63] So sometimes I think I could ride a zebra if I had one.

[01:59.13] Todd: Yeah. That would be cool. Zebras do look pretty cool. Are there any other animals?

[02:03.63] Meg: Well, there's one animal that I'm afraid of, and that's a bear.

[02:07.63] Todd: Yeah, bears are pretty scary.

[02:09.38] Meg: Bears are really scary and they're so big with huge teeth and giant claws,

[02:15.63] and I feel like a bear would eat me if I met it in person.

[02:20.38] Todd: Actually, have you seen a bear in the wild?

[02:25.13] Meg: No. I have never seen a bear in the wild, and I really don't want to.

[02:27.63] Todd: Well, in California, sometimes you can see bears in the wild, small black bears.

[02:33.88] And actually, the black bears are not that dangerous.

[02:37.63] Meg: Really?

[02:38.38] Todd: Yeah. I mean, you need to be careful when you see a black bear in the wild, but they almost never attack anybody.

[02:45.63] So the one animal you must be afraid of though is the mountain lion.

[02:50.13] So there are mountain lions also in California, and they are scary.

[02:54.38] Meg: Hmm, so maybe I should avoid mountain lions, too.

[02:58.88] Todd: Yeah. If you walk in the wild and you see a mountain lion, maybe it's too late. You're already in trouble.

[03:03.88] Meg: Maybe I'll just keep going to the zoo.

[03:06.38] Todd: [Laughs]
