Episodes
1E1Why Elephant Has A TrunkYou see there was a time when Elephant had no nose. He couldn't swat away the flies, or scrub his belly - he couldn't even blow his nose. Then one day snappy Crocodile snapped! Crocodile pulled and he pulled and he pulled - until ker-doing! Crocodile let go and Elephant's nose was all long and wiggly! And that's why Elephant has a trunk. Tales from Africa.12m2E2Why Snake Has No LegsYou see there was a time when Snake did have legs - hundreds and hundreds of them. But poor old Snake had no eyes, not a single one. Then on the day of the great Tinga Tinga Festival of Colours, Snake quite literally bumped into Millipede, who was stuck in a hole. They decided to swap eyes and legs just for one day, so that Snake could see all the wonderful colours and Millipede could run all over Tinga Tinga. But when Snake came back to return Millipede's eyes, Millipede couldn't be found anywhere! So to this day, Snake has no legs.12m3E3Why Hippo Has No Hair4E4Why Tortoise Has a Broken Shell5E5Why Hen Pecks the Ground6E6Why Bat Hangs Upside Down7E7Why Warthog Is So Ugly8E8Why Owl's Head Turns All the Way Round9E9Why Monkeys Swing in Trees10E10Why Tickbird Sits on Hippo's Back11E11Why Frog Croaks12E12Why Spider Has a Tiny Waist13E13Why Vulture is Bald14E14Why Giraffe Has a Long Neck15E15Why Porcupine Has Quills16E16Why Lizard Hides Under Rocks17E17Why Crocodile Has a Bumpy Back18E18Why Jackal Howls at the Moon19E19Why Hare Hops20E20Why Mosquito Buzzes21E21Why Rhino Charges22E22Why Caterpillar is Never in a Hurry23E23Why Lion Roars24E24Why Zebra Has Stripes25E25Why Flamingo Stands on One Leg26E26Why Woodpecker Pecks
