Available for years

Andy works at Safari World, the biggest and best safari park on the planet, home to animals from all over the globe. He works there with his boss, Mr Hammond and tech wizard Jen, who monitors all the animals from the Aqua Base.

Mr Hammond has been up all night in the Jungle Den at Safari World looking through his tape collection of animal sounds he recorded on a trip down the mighty Mississippi river in North America. Andy offers to help so that Mr Hammond can have a nap before the opening of the new alligator zone. Mr Hammond agrees, but he forgets to tell Andy what animal sound he is looking for. Andy puts a tape in the old cassette player, which plays a high-pitched squeaking noise. Thinking it's broken Andy attempts to fix it with a screwdriver and damages it.

Suddenly, Mr Hammond returns having remembered what animal sound he wanted Andy to look for. It was the sound of a baby alligator, which Mr Hammond describes as a high-pitched squeaking. Andy realises that the tape he has just broken was in fact the tape with the baby alligator sound. Calling Jen, Andy asks for her help, but she can only find a recording of an adult alligator on the park database. Andy decides to re-record the sound. It’s time to go on an aquatic adventure!

Donning his adventure gear, Andy takes to the skies in his safari-mobile, jetting off to the Mississippi river to make a new recording. But will Andy make it back before the opening of the new alligator zone? Show less
