Chris from Zoolab is introducing an emergency script about nocturnal creatures. The script is about an organization for young children and various nocturnal animals. Chris discusses the different animals and their behaviors, such as snails coming out at night to avoid the hot sun, tarantulas using camouflage, and bats using echolocation to find food. He also introduces a giant African land snail, a tarantula, and a Madagascan hissing cockroach as examples of nocturnal animals. Helo bawb, dyma Chris yma, un o'r arweinwyr syniadol yn Zoolab, ac rydw i yma heddiw i wneud argyfwng sgript arall, ac mae'r un rydyn ni'n mynd i'w drwyddo yw ymdrechion nocturnol. Ac mae'r sgript hwn yn dda iawn, mae'n ymwneud â sefydliad ar gyfer plant ifanc, rwy'n credu, ond mae'n ymwneud â sefydliad ar gyfer sefydliad gwahanol iawn. Mae'n ddiddorol iawn, yn ddiddorol iawn i ddiddorol iawn, mae yna llawer o bethau i siarad â nhw drwy'r cyfnod honno, ond yr hyn rydyn ni'n mynd i'w wneud yw ein bod ni'n mynd i siarad am yr ymdrechion, ac hefyd yn siarad am y dynion a'r strwythur. Iawn, felly dwi'n mynd i siarad am y dynion y byddwch chi'n eu defnyddio ar gyfer y sgript yn gyntaf, felly bydd y dynion cyntaf yn y snêl, bydd y dynion cyntaf yn y tarantula, bydd y dynion cyntaf yn y cocrwch, bydd y dynion cyntaf yn y snêl, bydd y dynion cyntaf yn y milliped, a bydd eich dynion cyntaf yn y rat. Nawr, o ran y strwythur, pan fyddwch chi'n siarad am y snêl, dyna pan fyddwch chi'n mynd i siarad am amgylcheddau'r fwyaf, ac ar gyfer yr dynion cyntaf, pan fyddwch chi'n siarad am y tarantula, byddwch chi'n siarad am predysau a phre. Pan fyddwn ni'n siarad am y cocrwch, byddwn ni'n siarad am adnoddiadau hefyd, pan fyddwn ni'n siarad am y snêl, byddwn ni'n siarad am adnoddiad, pan fyddwn ni'n siarad am y milliped, byddwn ni'n siarad am oed, pan fyddwn ni'n siarad am y rat, byddwn ni'n siarad am petau. Iawn, felly dechreuwn gyda'r ysgrifennydd yna. Felly, fel bob arall ysgrifennydd, fel y gwyddoch chi ar hyn o bryd, byddwn ni'n mynd i gael cyflwyno, felly gyda'r cyflwyno, byddwch chi'n cyflwyno eich hun, hefyd yn cyflwyno'r cymdeithas hefyd, ac yna, yn amlwg, byddwch chi'n rhoi'ch rhylau mewn lle ar gyfer y cyflwynoau o'r plant. Ac yna, yn dilyn hynny, byddwch chi'n mynd i'r sesiyn ymlaen ac yn defnyddio'ch anifeiliaid, a'n siarad am anifeiliaid nocturnol, felly dyna'r hyn rydyn ni'n mynd i siarad amdano heddiw, ac mae hynny'n rhywbeth y gallai'r plant wedi dysgu amdano yn y clas, felly ceisiwch eich bod yn gorfod cael y mwyaf o wybodaeth nawr fel y gallwch i'w helpu gyda'u dysgu. Felly, helo bawb, fy enw i yw Chris ac rydw i yma heddiw o Zoolab, ac heddiw rydyn ni'n mynd i ddysgu am unrhyw anifeiliaid a'r amser noc. A ydyn ni'n gwybod beth rydyn ni'n ei ddweud am anifeiliaid sy'n dod allan y noc? A oes unrhyw un yn gwybod? Dyna'r iaith, maen nhw'n cael eu chio'n anifeiliaid nocturnol, gallwch chi ddweud hynny? Anifeiliaid nocturnol. Felly bawb, rydw i'n mynd i ddod i mewn i rai siarad heddiw, dros ein gweithgaredd, ac rydw i'n gobeithio y byddwch chi'n gallu gysylltu llawer o cwestiynau, ac hefyd gofyn i mi rai cwestiynau hefyd, i'n helpu i ddysgu am ein topeg heddiw. Ac i'n helpu i ddysgu am ein topeg, rydw i wedi'i ddod allan â llawer o anifeiliaid gwahanol, ond cyn i ni eu gweld nhw, mae angen i ni ddysgu rywfaint o ystadegau gwahanol gyntaf, felly mae'n rhaid i ni gael rai ddysgwyr fawr nawr. A ydych chi'n barod am yr ystadegau? Iawn, felly ein rhwydwaith gyntaf yw ein bod yn rhaid i ni gadw'n dda ac yn hawdd, oherwydd mae gennym anifeiliaid mewn bywyd gwahanol yma heddiw, ac os ydyn ni'n bwysig iawn, yna efallai y bydd y anifeiliaid yn cael eu gwastraffu. Gallwn ni wneud ein hawdd i ddefnyddio'n hawdd ein cwestiynau hawdd? Briliant i bawb. Ac mae'r rhwydwaith cyntaf yw ein bod yn rhaid i ni gadw'n dda ar draws y sesiwn hwnnw heddiw, oherwydd rydw i'n mynd i adeiladu'r anifeiliaid i bawb, felly rydyn ni'n mynd i gael edrych ar yr anifeiliaid, ond hefyd, os ydych chi'n hoffi, rydyn ni'n mynd i gael ychydig o'r anifeiliaid hwnnw neu ychydig o'r cyffwrdd hefyd. Nawr, os ydych chi eisiau ei wneud, mae'n rhaid i chi ddefnyddio dŷ llaw fel hyn, ac os ydych chi eisiau cyffwrdd, defnyddwch eich dŷ a mynd i'r ôl, yn dda a hyderus, ac dyna sut y gallwn ni adeiladu'r anifeiliaid. Os ydych chi ddim eisiau gwneud y pethau hynny, os ydych chi eisiau edrych ar yr anifeiliaid, yna mae hynny'n dda iawn, efallai y gallwch chi edrych yn ystod hynny. Nawr, mae'n rhaid i ni wneud yn siŵr nad ydyn ni'n rhoi'r dŷ ar ein mhob anifeiliaid heddiw. Felly, dyna beth sy'n golygu nad ydyn ni'n rhoi dŷ yn ein mouths, nad ydyn ni'n rhoi dŷ yn ein dŷ, ein oed, neu'n nos. Felly, dalwch ein dŷ allan o'n mhob anifeiliaid. Ac nawr, ein rhwydwaith diwethaf yw, ar ddiwedd y sesiwn, beth mae'n rhaid i ni ei wneud gyda'n dŷ, gallwch ddweud wrthi. Dyna'n iawn, mae'n rhaid i ni wneud yn siŵr i ni wasgu'n dŷ. Gallwn ni i gyd dweud hynny i bawb? Wasgu'n dŷ. Brifiant. Diolch am wylio. Ie, wel, fe wnawn ni ddechrau gyda'n sesiwn. Ie, felly, fe wnawn ni ddechrau. Mae anifeiliaid nocturnol yn ymwneud â phobl yn ystod y dydd. Mae'r anifeiliaid hwn yn hoffi gofio'r dydd mewn y byd, yn y bywyd, yn aml yn y bwrw neu'r dŷn. Mae llawer o rhesymau gwahanol pam mae'r anifeiliaid yn hoffi gwneud hyn, a dyma beth rydym ni'n mynd i ddysgu amdano heddiw. A all unrhyw un roi cyfnod o anifeiliaid nocturnol i mi? Meddwl am rhywbeth gyda gwyliau mawr sy'n gallu eu gweld yn y dŷn. Dyna'n iawn. Un owl. Un owl yw un anifeiliaid nocturnol. A oes unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw unrhyw un be active at night when it's much cooler. My first animal that I have here actually does come out at night because he doesn't like the hot sun on his back and he's from a very tropical rainforest, a jungle in Africa. This creature is very slimy so if he came out when it's really hot and sunny then he would just dry up so that's why he prefers to come out at night time. So this is our nocturnal animal with a great big shell. What do you think it might be? Yes so this here they're going to see is a snail. It's not just any ordinary snail it's a giant snail, a giant African land snail. Let's bring him out and of course at that point you'll take out your snail and convey your facts about your snail as you bring it round for handling. So this here is my giant African land snail Gary. Now he is nocturnal because at night he can keep nice and moist and eat plenty of plants in the dark. He also comes out at night so he can hide away from any animals that would like to eat him because as you can see he's got this great big shell as well that can protect him so he can pull himself inside of his shell. Now as you can see my snail has two long tentacles which are his eyes and he cannot see very well although this doesn't bother him too much living in the dark. He has two more tentacles which act like feelers to feel through the ground as he's going along. He also smells with these tentacles to hunt down some juicy leaves and plants to eat because he is after all a herbivore. Can we say that word? So a herbivore is an animal that eats plants and vegetation so as we know this shell is used to protect him from predators but he can also use his shell to sleep in and keep warm and moist away from the sun. For some animals like snails it can be much safer to come out at night to avoid animals that may want to eat them but predators may also prefer to come out when it's dark also. Now lots of animals on earth have special ways to help them hunt for food they are called adaptations. Now these adaptations can be for example large eyes like an owl for excellent eyesight and fantastic hearing also. Another animal with fantastic hearing would be a fox and also a nose for a keen sense of smell to help them to find their food. A lot of these animals are actually native to our country and can be found all over the countryside or even in our towns as well. My next animal likes to be active at night too not only to catch her food but also to hide from animals that may want to eat her. This creature likes to hide in a burrow in the ground and use its web to catch insects. Does anyone know what it might be? That's right this is a spider but not just any spider this is quite a big species of spider that we know as a tarantula. Let's meet the tarantula and from here you'll take out your tarantula and convey your facts about the nocturnal species. Now the tarantula hunts at night to catch its prey unaware it can be very fast but it also hides due to its camouflage. Can you say that word camouflage? Now camouflage is when an animal is in the same colour as its habitat so this can make it even sneakier and it's more able to hide from its food and also from its predators. So the snail and the tarantula have proven to be very well suited to their habitat. Many animals have changed their behaviour and adapted to living in certain places. Some nocturnal animals may even have tricks up their sleeve or should we say wings. Bats are the only living mammals that can fly in the world and they come out at night to avoid competition from birds and can travel long distances in search of food. Bats are very well adapted to be active at night and choose to rest and sleep and groom during the day in dark caves. They use many ways to move around and feed in total darkness. The most important method that a bat uses to find insects to eat is something called echolocation. So when bats fly they produce a constant stream of high-pitched sounds that only bats are able to hear and when the sound waves produced by these hits an insect or animal the echolocation bounces back to the bat and guides it to where its food might be or also protects it from bumping into things as well. Then I don't have a bat with me today and a bat might try and fly around the room but I do have something that also lives in caves especially where the bats live because they like to feed on the bat's smelly poo. Oh not very pleasant but this animal is my Madagascan hissing cockroach which is an insect with six legs. Let's meet him. Okay and from there you'll take out your cockroach as well and convey the facts about the cockroach showing how it's nocturnal. Now cockroaches can be found all over the world and also like to come out when it's dark. When they're actually exposed to light the cockroach will run away very quickly and hide. They feel and smell in the dark with an extra long antenna so that they don't bump into things. Now cockroaches have lots and lots of babies and can become a bit of pest. Some animals which are usually more active in the daytime like us can decide to come out at night to lay eggs and make babies of their own. An example of this is the sea turtle. The sea turtle is a reptile with cold blood that lays eggs. The female sea turtles lay their eggs at night on a beach in what we call a body pit. So it's an egg chamber scraped in the sand. The baby sea turtles also hatch at night to avoid animals trying to eat them and also make sure the sand on the beach doesn't burn them. My next animal can be active during the day and night depending on the temperature. She is a reptile with dry smooth scaly skin quite similar to our turtle and just like the sea turtle also lays eggs. She will hunt for prey by smelling with her tongue and tasting the air. Some of these creatures can also see the heat from their prey so they can catch them in the dark. This is of course my sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss So an owl is a very good example of this, but owls don't just have good eyesight, they also have fantastic hearing, so they can actually locate where their prey is. Owls like to hunt for mice, so they need to be nice and quick, but also very quiet. They like to hunt during the twilight hours, so as the sun goes down, this is called dusk, or as the sun comes up in the morning, this is called dawn. Their eyes face forward and are excellent at seeing things without much light at all, and their ears, even though we can't see them behind their feathers, are slightly higher than one another, and they have really wide open ears which can hear all the things and different sounds around them. Now some animals are completely blind, and this is because they don't need them. They live in the darkness all the time, so have changed over many years to lose their eyes, and they have very good senses that replace them. This could either be an excellent sense of smell, or touch, or hearing. A good example of this is an animal like a mole that lives under the ground. They can't see, but they can catch and eat their food faster than the human eye can see. They feel the way with their whiskers, and they have a great nose to smell for their food, which is worms and slugs. Now I don't have a blind animal today in my box, but I do have an animal that can't see very well, and also uses antennae like the cockroach to feel its way around, and this creature likes to live in the dark, tropical rainforests, on the rainforest floor in Africa. He likes to eat all the bits of smelly rotten fruit, and also dead leaves that fall down from the trees, and then he poops it all back out again. Sounds a bit horrible, but he's actually a great recycler, because all of his poo gives good nutrients to the soil. This keeps the soil nice and healthy, and actually helps the trees and the plants to grow nice and tall. Now he also has about 200 legs, sometimes even more than that, and this animal is called a millipede. He's a giant African millipede. Let's meet him. And of course from there you'll do the same with the millipede, take him round and convey your facts about the millipede, touching on how he's nocturnal. Now I've got a question for everyone. Who has a pet at home? Well, lots of our pets are also naturally nocturnal in the wild, so wolves and wild cats are wild creatures related to our dogs and our cats at home, and the wild wolves and the cats like to come out at night to catch their food, and then they sleep during the day. Therefore, these are also called nocturnal animals. Cats are especially suited to be nocturnal. They have special eyes to let as much light in as possible, which makes them see even better in the dark. Their slit-shaped pupil helps them to see as they expand it so much that they cover most of their whole eye, which lets as much light in as possible. Now our cats and dogs at home have changed their behaviour and like to be active during the day because humans are awake, and because we're active in the day, that's when we tend to feed our animals. Although some pets do change their behaviour, some don't. I know my cat likes to wake me up when I'm asleep. Hamsters are also nocturnal, and lots of people complain when they are awoken at night by their hamster exercising on its wheel. In the wild, hamsters come out at night to forage for food when it's safer to do so. Now I've brought one of my pets with me today as well, and he also really likes to come out at night. Just like the hamster, he likes to come out to forage for food and to stay safe from predators. He also has fur to keep him warm. He has big round ears, also for excellent hearing. He has a twitchy nose and a fantastic sense of smell, and really long whiskers which help him feel along in the dark, as well as a long tail for balance. Does anyone know what this animal might be? Yes, this animal we're going to see is a bit like a mouse, but a bit bigger. It's a rat, and let's meet my pet bat today. So you take the rat around the same way, convey your facts as best you can, and also touch on how it's nocturnal once more. Now boys and girls, I'm afraid that's all the animals that I have with me today, and I hope you've learnt lots about how they're nocturnal and what they get up to in the dark when we are fast asleep in bed. Well done today, everyone. Just remember that we have to wash our hands because we've been touching animals today. But thank you so much, and we'll see you soon. Bye now. And there you have it. So that's the nocturnal animal script. As you can see, it's quite a nice script. It's quite easy to follow. A few little things to remember, but it tends to flow quite nicely, that one. So I hope that was okay for you, and hopefully you feel much more comfortable now with presenting this script. Thank you. Bye.
