the title, Summer Fun Forever and Ever! Yeah, we're

3:39

supposed to plan all the things we do forever

3:41

and ever! I don't

3:43

know! Things like pool parties and

3:45

hanging loose in Serpent USA! Whoo!

3:48

Oh whatever. That's okay. Now

3:50

we have nothing to do and so I

3:52

guess we'll just do nothing, right? Okay,

3:55

ready? Here we go. And...

4:00

Nothing! Ugh...

4:09

Ahh! Ugh! Ugh!

4:11

Brrrrrr! Wow! Who knew

4:13

having nothing to do with me so

4:16

boring! Brrrrrr! Reggie! I'm bored! Brrrrrr! Brrrr!

4:18

Well, what's everyone else doing today? Brrrrrr!

4:21

Hmm. Well, let's go snoop around and find

4:23

out! Brrrrrr! Speak us, Reggie! What if they're

4:25

doing all the things, like pool parties and

4:27

hanging loose in Southern USA without me! Dennis!

4:31

Brrrrrr! Brrrrrr! Brrrrrr! Oh, Reggie!

4:33

That's it! Brrrr! We should go

4:35

around the neighborhood and interview everyone

4:37

4:39

in the summer! Brrrrrr! This

4:41

is so bananas! It's just my work!

start interviewing people tomorrow. Brrrrrr!

4:50

Speak us! I'm not ready!

4:52

8:03

Guy Raz- M-Mimmy,

8:06

8:11

Un-Birthday, did you? Uhhh...

8:13

Check it out, I've got everything here.

8:16

An Un-Birthday cake with your name on

8:18

8:51

tickets to the 100-meter Nauta Dash

8:53

at the Snoozefest Arena? Happy

8:56

Un-Birthday, Guy Roddy! Haaaa!

9:01

Mindy, this is amazing! I can't

9:03

believe you got us tickets to

9:05

see the slowest of the slowest

9:07

animals competition! I knew I'm the best!

9:09

I wonder who's gonna win the

9:12

title of World's Slowest Animal! I

9:14

know, and I heard it's a

9:16

really competitive and diverse field this

9:19

year. We've got

9:21

marsupials, mammals, reptiles,

9:24

mollusks... Wow! Anyhoo,

9:27

we gotta get a move on it! This race

9:30

is about to start! Yeah, I know, I was

9:32

just about to settle down in front of the

9:34

TV to watch it. I know, but lucky for

9:36

you, Guy Roddy, Reggie just got his flying mountain-turn-nude

9:39

and is eating for us out in the yard! Hey, Rog! We'll

9:42

be right there! He says

9:44

he'll get us there like any split! Perfect!

9:48

Just give me two seconds, let me grab my stuff.

9:51

Ah? Yeah, wait right here. Okay!

9:56

I don't know if you can tell me what you

9:58

need, huh? We need

10:01

some help from you. You need some help

10:03

from me. Can you read

10:05

more? Can you read more?

10:10

Ta-da! What

10:13

is that? It's all my boredom

10:15

sports fan gear. Check it out,

10:17

I've got my big foam finger. Oh,

10:19

my horn. Ah,

10:22

my cap. What does it say? Con-X-X-X-C-V-I-I-I-Is

10:31

this Roman numerals? Yep.

10:34

Ah, not boring. I got you

10:36

one too, Mindy. Thanks. Does

10:38

it also make me do math? Yeah,

10:40

here, pop it on. Okay. Okay,

10:44

let's get out of here, Mindy. Hey,

10:48

Reggie. Aw,

10:51

he says happy not your birthday, Guy Rosie. Aw,

10:54

thanks, Reg. Oh, man, look at the

10:56

time you're right, Reg. We gotta bust

10:58

a move. Come on, Guy Ros, hop on. Coming

11:01

up right behind you. Mindy,

11:07

good morning, everyone. My name is Mindy,

11:09

and I will be your pilot today

11:12

on this non-stop Reggie

11:15

flight to the Snoozefest

11:17

Arena. I'd

11:19

just like to welcome you all aboard today and

11:21

remind you to please keep your hands, feet,

11:24

and other objects inside

11:27

the vehicle at all times. Thank

11:30

you very much, and enjoy your

11:32

flight, Mindy, because

11:34

here we go!

11:46

And that's another Reggie flight arriving

11:48

safe and sound and on time.

11:50

Nice job, Reg. Uh,

11:53

Mindy, are you sure we're at the right place? It

11:57

looks super quiet here. Oh,

12:00

hmm. Well it is the

12:03

snooze best arena. Maybe everyone's

12:05

asleep. Mindy, I highly doubt

12:07

that everyone here is... ...a-sleet.

12:14

Well that seems to be the case with this ticket

12:16

taker. Um... Oh,

12:20

that's boring. Oh,

12:25

my God! What's

12:28

going on? Oh, um,

12:31

sorry to wake you sir, but we are here for

12:33

the 100 meter not a dash. I've

12:36

got my tickets. We in the right place? Yes,

12:39

you've arrived at the right place. Oh,

12:43

this guy's got his ticket. Here you go. It's

12:46

my own birthday. Oh,

12:48

that's great, sir. I'm so bored for

12:50

you. Now, if

12:52

you have a couple of hours, I'd like

12:54

to ask you a few hundred questions about

12:56

how you found out about today's event. Question

13:01

first. How did you find

13:03

out about today's event? Was

13:05

it A, a friend? B,

13:07

a friend of a friend? C,

13:10

a friend of a friend of a friend? Or

13:15

D, a friend's

13:17

neighbor's dog's pastor's...

13:21

Thank you very much. Okay, Roz, we

13:23

gotta go. You too,

13:25

Reg. Let me choose

13:27

a ticket here. Let's see. We are 23, 24, and 25, section

13:29

34 in the slow Wi-Fi stand. I

13:38

think we're over this way, Mindy. This way, Mindy.

13:46

Wow. Look at this

13:48

place, Mindy. The atmosphere is

13:50

electric. Yeah,

13:53

electric. That's what I was

13:55

thinking too. Good

13:59

high-five. Hey, Garrosh, over here! We

14:01

found our seat! Excuse me, and are

14:03

you... Sorry,

14:05

uh, pardon me, I'll hold my mind

14:08

yourself. Ah, I made it! And

14:13

just this time, too, Mindy, I think it's

14:15

about to start. Just in

14:18

testing. Hello everyone,

14:20

and welcome to the annual

14:23

100-meter Nada Dash World Championship.

14:27

Be the lonely advance.

14:30

Thank you. Every

14:32

year, slow folks from all

14:35

over the planet come to

14:37

the Snoozepest Arena to compete

14:39

for the title of World's

14:42

Slowest Animal.

14:45

World's Slowest Animal?

14:47

And now, introducing these years

14:50

to you. Hello,

14:53

Mindy. Hailing from

14:56

the treetops of eastern Australia,

14:58

sleeping for more than 19

15:00

hours a day and eating

15:03

for most of the other

15:05

five. It's the

15:07

motionless marsupial, Gary

15:10

the Moala. I'm

15:14

on the trading card. Hey,

15:17

Gary! Hey, Gary! Next

15:22

up, and last year's reigning

15:24

champion, the slowest

15:26

mammal on the planet,

15:29

the South American who's

15:31

always down to hang,

15:35

it's Barney the

15:37

Flaw. He's the

15:40

Flaw! I know! Okay,

15:44

but I've got a question. Whoa, whoa, what's

15:46

that, Mindy? Why are

15:48

all of these animals so slow?

15:51

Well, there are a bunch of different reasons

15:53

why one animal might be slower or faster

15:56

than another, but the reason why most of

15:58

the animals out here today... they are slow

16:00

is because of their diet. Their

16:02

diet? You mean like what they eat?

16:05

Yeah, take Gary the Koala,

16:07

for example. Koalas are actually

16:10

super fussy eaters and they

16:12

only eat one specific kind

16:14

of food. Oh yeah, koalas

16:16

only eat eucalyptus leaves, right?

16:19

Yeah, but the problem with

16:21

eucalyptus leaves is that they're

16:23

full of tiny fibers. Ah,

16:26

which probably means that it takes

16:28

koalas a long time to digest

16:30

them. You know, to turn all

16:32

of those delicious eucalyptus leaves into

16:34

poop. That's right, and the best

16:36

way for these koalas to digest

16:38

these leaves is to sleep it

16:40

off. That's what Grandma G. Force always

16:42

says after Thanksgiving dinner. And in

16:44

addition to this, Mindy, eucalyptus

16:47

leaves aren't very nutritious either.

16:49

So you're saying that koalas don't get

16:52

a lot of energy from eating

16:54

leaves? Exactly, so the few

16:56

hours that koalas are awake,

16:58

they only have a small supply of

17:00

energy to do everything else they need

17:02

to do. So in order to

17:05

conserve their energy, they

17:07

tend to move

17:09

very, very slowly.

17:12

Like when we got lost on that road

17:14

trip and we had to conserve gas to

17:16

get us to the hotel. Exactly. And so

17:18

what about the sloth, same deal? Pretty much,

17:20

Mindy. I mean, you are what you eat.

17:23

So the sloth also doesn't

17:25

have a very nutritious diet.

17:28

Exactly, and because of this, just

17:30

like the koala, the sloth doesn't

17:33

have much energy to spare. So

17:35

it's simply... Sasis

17:38

slow. Really

17:43

slow. Judging by the stats up

17:45

there on the Jumbotron, check it out.

17:48

Hmm, it says up there that the

17:50

sloth only moves 41 yards a day.

17:53

That's less than half the length of a

17:55

football field. Yeah, but believe it or

17:58

not, it's still not the slowest. animal

18:00

here. What? Really? Who else we

18:02

got? Well there's Humphrey the tortoise

18:05

and Samantha the

18:07

snail. Uh-huh. But there

18:10

is one competitor in particular that

18:12

I've been waiting to see all

18:14

year. She's actually a

18:17

newcomer to the competition this year and is

18:19

supposedly gonna blast everyone

18:22

out of the water. Really?

18:25

Who is this slow superstar? Oh,

18:28

I think I'm about to an accident.

18:30

I'm finally arriving to

18:33

the starting line. The

18:35

reptile you've all been

18:37

waiting for. From the

18:39

caves of Bosnia and

18:41

Herzegovina, the amphibian that

18:43

can't be moved, please

18:46

welcome Deborah the salamander.

18:49

Thank you. Is

18:54

he a rut salamander? Yep. Deborah

18:56

was part of a group of

18:58

European salamanders that were studied by

19:01

scientists from Houteforsch-Lorand University in Hungary.

19:03

And if you thought those other

19:05

animals were slow, awful boy, just wait till

19:07

you hear about this salamander. Why

19:11

hopefully is he? One

19:13

second, Mindia. I think the race is about to start.

19:16

On your marks, get set,

19:20

slow, and

19:23

they're all sort of.

19:26

Okay, so how

19:28

slow is this salamander,

19:31

Gyroz? Well, Deborah belongs

19:33

to a group of salamanders called

19:35

Olms. Oh, I

19:38

know Olms. They used to have

19:40

one as my old neighbor. They're almost

19:42

completely blind and typically live in damp

19:44

caves in Europe. That's right. And this

19:46

group of researchers from Hungary tagged

19:48

and monitored a total of 26

19:50

of these Olms living in a

19:53

small section of a cave in

19:55

northern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Yeah,

19:57

and what did they find? Well, they...

20:00

basically found this. That

20:30

a big lunch. Ha

20:32

ha ha ha ha. And Deborah,

20:34

true to form, has yet

20:37

to move a muscle. Ooh,

20:40

well it doesn't look like that salamander

20:43

Deborah is going anywhere in a hurry.

20:46

Is that what the researchers

20:48

found, Egyaraz? Exactly, Mindy. Between

20:50

the years 2010 and 2018,

20:52

the researchers returned to

20:54

the cave four times, to check

20:56

up on the Olms progress and

20:58

see how far they've moved. Oh

21:01

yeah, and what did they

21:03

find? These researchers found that

21:05

these salamanders only moved about

21:08

five meters, or sixteen feet,

21:10

every year. Sixteen

21:13

feet in a year? You're

21:16

telling me that these little guys

21:19

only moved the length of my

21:21

ice cream truck in a whole

21:23

year? That's exactly what

21:25

I'm saying, Mindy. Man, you

21:27

were not kidding when you said these

21:29

things were slow. And that's not all.

21:32

It's not? Nope. Out

21:34

of all of those super

21:36

slow salamanders, there was even

21:38

one standout Olm. One

21:41

Olm that refused to move

21:43

at all for seven years.

21:45

Seven years? What?

21:48

That's baller balls. And

21:51

guess what, Mindy? What? That

21:53

salamander? That Olm? Was

21:56

Deborah! Oh! And she's

21:58

down there right now! Now

22:00

doing her thing! Or not

22:02

doing her thing! That's

22:05

right! This one salamander

22:07

sat in that exact same

22:09

spot in that damp cave for

22:11

2,569 days in a row! Man,

22:17

I know I can be slow to

22:19

get out of bed in the morning,

22:21

but seven years slow? That's crazy salad!

22:25

It looks like Humphrey

22:27

the Turtle has finally

22:29

begun shuffling forward ever

22:32

so slowly. Barney

22:34

the Sloth seems to have

22:36

woken up now at least,

22:39

and the down-and-out favorite,

22:41

Deborah, is still to

22:43

make a move. So

22:46

why is it that these salamanders

22:49

move at such a glacial pace?

22:51

I mean, does it have something

22:53

to do with their diet maybe?

22:56

Are they eating something super non-nutritious?

22:58

Like my sugar-blasted tart pops, for

23:01

example? Well, not exactly. You

23:03

see, these little guys don't need

23:05

to hurry anywhere. Uh, what

23:07

do you mean? Well, not only

23:09

do these salamanders have no

23:11

natural predator in the wild,

23:14

but they also seem to

23:16

live their whole lives in

23:18

slow motion. Slow motion? Yeah,

23:22

these salamanders can live for up to

23:24

a hundred years, so they've got plenty

23:26

of time to have a good old

23:28

rest. I get

23:31

it. But on top of that,

23:33

Mindy, they also only

23:35

mate once every twelve and

23:37

a half years. Huh, and

23:39

mating is one of the main reasons

23:41

that animals stay mobile or move around

23:44

a lot, to try and find a

23:46

partner to have babies and continue with

23:48

their family tree. Exactly. So

23:50

with these alms not having to

23:52

worry about predators and only having

23:54

to mate every twelve years and

23:56

living until they're almost a hundred

23:58

years old? Well, they don't really

24:01

have to move around much at all. And

24:04

it looks like Deborah, the

24:06

Salamander, is made of stone

24:08

or some such. She's

24:11

still not moving. Although

24:13

Gary the Koala, it appears,

24:15

has woken up and is

24:18

scanning his surroundings for

24:21

something to eat. Ugh.

24:24

Okay, so I get that these Salamanders don't

24:26

have to move around to avoid

24:28

getting eaten by predators? But

24:31

don't they have to move in order to grab

24:33

a bite to eat themselves? Well

24:36

actually, these ombs don't even have to

24:38

move to get their food. They

24:41

simply wait for it to come to them!

24:44

What? Did these

24:46

ombs figure out how to

24:48

order delivery? Well no, actually,

24:50

these ombs use a technique

24:52

known as sit and wait

24:54

to hunt. And let

24:56

me guess, they sit and

24:59

they wait. Yup.

25:02

The ombs pick a good spot to

25:04

hang out at, and then they wait

25:07

for the small crustacean that they feed

25:09

on to come close enough for them

25:11

to move them up rather than

25:13

to use up their energy chasing

25:15

them around. Crustaceans? You mean

25:18

like crabs and lobsters? Man, these

25:20

Salamanders are fancy. Well

25:22

yeah, the crustaceans are in the

25:24

same family as lobsters and crabs,

25:26

but they're much, much smaller. Okay,

25:29

and so these mini seafood

25:31

delicacies, they just walk straight

25:33

into the open salamander mouth?

25:37

Well, basically, yeah, but

25:39

it doesn't just happen overnight. With

25:42

this sort of technique, the

25:44

ombs can sometimes wait one

25:47

or two years between meals.

25:49

Years? Were you kidding me? I

25:51

just had a caviar burrito before we left

25:53

the house and already I'm starving! Yeah,

25:55

I know it sounds crazy, but it

25:57

turns out that Deborah and her whole

26:00

These species are like masters of

26:02

Zen. Yeah, and check it out. She

26:04

still hasn't left restarting block. Still

26:07

very little movement from

26:09

Deborah here. However,

26:12

it looks like Bonnie

26:14

the Sloth is slowly

26:17

beginning to drag himself

26:19

forward. So what

26:21

does the whole thing in this research

26:24

tell us? Well, because these little guys

26:26

move at a slower pace than the rest

26:28

of us, they're also

26:30

more susceptible to things like

26:32

climate change and habitat destruction.

26:35

Ah, and so the researchers are

26:37

hoping that this insight into these

26:40

super slow movers will help to

26:42

keep them safe in the future?

26:44

Exactly, and it'll help to make laws

26:46

to keep them and their habitats safe

26:49

and sound. Well, if some of them are still going

26:51

to be around and kicking in a hundred years, we

26:53

want to make sure that they have a place to

26:55

live. You got it.

26:58

Still not much movement

27:00

here at Snoozefest Arena?

27:04

Oh, excuse me. Still

27:07

anyone's race. Wait,

27:10

is this a race or is it

27:12

like dogs? Oh, it

27:14

is a race. Well, whatever,

27:17

it's still super boring. Aww.

27:22

Yes, Mindy? Do you think this

27:24

race will also be for seven years?

27:27

I mean, will Deborah the Salamander competing

27:30

at all? Oh,

27:32

no, I don't think so, Mindy. Oh, good.

27:34

It'll take much longer than that. What?

27:38

Well, just think about it, Mindy.

27:40

It took the average Olm Salamander

27:42

one year to move just five meters

27:45

or 16 feet. Uh-huh.

27:47

And this is a 100-meter, not a dash. 100

27:52

meters? So

27:54

what's five meters a year? Then carry the

27:56

two, minus one. It's

27:59

going to do it. It'd take Deborah 20

28:01

years to finish this race? Yeah,

28:05

and it could be even longer, Mindy.

28:07

I mean, that would be average, and

28:09

if I know anything about Deborah, well,

28:12

it's that she is far from average.

28:14

Hey, Rod, I don't have 20 years

28:16

of burning this arena! What a thing

28:18

to do! Well, that's perfectly fine, Mindy,

28:21

because it looks like this ticket you

28:23

got me is a multi-day pass, so, uh,

28:25

we can just come back next year for

28:27

my un-birthday and see how far these are.

28:31

Next year? Yeah,

28:33

and the year after that, and the year after

28:35

that, and the year after that, and the year

28:38

after that, and the year after that. The year

28:40

after that. The year

28:42

after that. Grownups,
