A world of curiosities and surprises, where, every day, creatures big and small bite off more than they can chew.
(pea-rexes growling) Join us as we follow the adventures of Ginger, a young tricarrotops, and her unlikely little friends, three baby pea-rexes, Wasabi, Split, and Minty, as they discover the many wonders that exist in this vast valley!
- Woohoo!
This is Ginger and the "Vegesaurs"!
(gentle music) (gentle music) (Ginger snoring) (Ginger yawning) - Morning!
(playful music) (pea-rexes grunting) Okay, okay, time for breakfast.
(playful music) Wait, where are the yummy drops?
(pea-rexes grunting) - [Narrator] Yummy drops are a delicious and nutritious breakfast treat, which pea-rexes need to start their day.
(playful music) - Can you still smell them?
(pea-rexes sniffing) Then lead the way.
(playful music) - [Narrator] Pea-rexes can detect the faintest of smells, especially when it's breakfast time.
- Hey, it's our yummy drops.
- Hey hey hey hey!
(playful music) - Wait, stop, something's not right.
Let's be careful.
(suspenseful music) (playful music) (dramatic music) - [Narrator] These are beetrootsaurus, the scavengers of Vegesaur Valley.
- Hi, I think you may have found our yummy drops by mistake.
(beetrootsaurus giggling) But we're happy to share with you.
(beetrootsauruses giggling) (beetrootsauruses eating) Okay, guess not.
(Wasabi screaming) (playful music) - [Narrator] It looks like they're playing pea-rex in the middle.
Extraordinary.
- Yeah!
(playful music) (playful music continues) (beetrootsauruses giggling) (Wasabi grunting) (beetrootsaurus giggling) - Okay, team, if we're going to get that yummy drop, we need to play smart.
Minty, go wide.
Good, now come up on the inside.
Split, go right.
You're on the right.
(dramatic music) Almost got it.
(dramatic music) Wasabi, Split, slide and jump.
(dramatic music) You're so close.
Minty, run around the side.
Wasabi, jump on Minty.
(dramatic music) (beetrootsaurus giggling) Yes, team!
Final formation.
(Wasabi grunting) - Ooh!
- Woo hoo!
You rock, Wasabi!
(beetrootsauruses giggling) Let's get outta here.
- [Narrator] The beetrootsaurus will just have to find someone else's stash.
(playful music) - Okay, team, eat up.
(Wasabi grunting) (playful music) - Ooh!
(pea-rexes eating) (gentle music) - (giggling) That's all right, Wasabi, you've earned it.
(Ginger giggling) Huh?
(Ginger gasping) No way!
(gentle music) Wasabi, quick, grab it.
(beetrootsaurus grunting) (dramatic music) - [Narrator] A baby bokchoydactyl has scored the last yummy drop.
But in Vegesaur Valley, looking ahead to your next meal is part of life.
(gentle music) (gentle orchestral music) (exciting music) - [Narrator] At a whopping 10 metres tall is the Coconutdon, the valley's largest Vegesaur.
As a result of their colossal size, they are mostly sleepy creatures, and prefer to spend their time relaxing.
(Coconutdon groans) Baby Coconutdons, on the other hand, have a lot of growing to do and so have big appetites and lots of energy.
Coconutdons have a great sense of humour and enjoy the company of other Vegesaurs, including the always entertaining Baby Pea-Rexes.
(Baby Pea-Rexes mumbling) - [Narrator] It's the late Crunchiest period, when the world was dominated by the juiciest and freshest creatures ever to rule the planet, the mighty "Vegesaurs"!
(gentle orchestral music) (exciting music) (bugs buzzing) - Whoa.
(majestic music) So, so beautiful.
- [Pea] Wow.
- Whoa.
- [Narrator] During spring, these impressive trees produce glorious flowers, which the mighty Broccoliosaurus feast on.
(peas babbling) (lively music) (Broccoliosaurus crunching) The large Broccoliosaurus allow the baby Pea-Rexes front row seats.
(peas sniffing) The flowers have a delicious fragrance, too.
(delicate music) (young Broccoliosaurus babbling) (dramatic music) (bug buzzing) (sweet music) Young Broccoliosaurus are not yet big enough to reach these delicious sweet treats.
- Don't worry, there's gotta be one left for you.
Uh... (Ginger gasps) Up there.
(bright music) To the left behind that branch.
- Hmm?
- Huh?
(young Broccoliosaurus grunting) (struggling music) - Gotta be a way to get up there.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Good plan, brain.
Minty, are you ready to fly?
- Mm-hmm, yeah, yeah!
- When I say go, flick your tail.
Okay, ready, set, go!
(dramatic music) (Minty whooshing) (leaves rustling) Okay, little too much firepower there.
Minty, are you okay?
(dizzy music) (Minty babbling) Wasabi.
- Uh-huh?
- Launch in three, two, one, blast off!
(Wasabi warbling) (lively music) (Wasabi laughing) Good try, but that's the wrong tree.
- Huh?
Oh.
- Split, you can do this.
(Split trembling) Breeze is left to right, a little strong.
Just move a little to your left.
That's it.
And now move your tail ever so slightly.
Back a bit.
Perfect!
Okay, we are all clear.
On my signal.
(young Broccoliosaurus grunts) (Split grunts) (tense music) Ready?
Go!
(Split whooshing) Oh no, it's closing.
- Whoa!
- Huh?
Split!
- [Narrator] The flower pods are highly sensitive.
(peas babbling) If anything gets in their way, they can't close properly.
- Whee!
(laughs) (Vegesaurs cheering) - Go, Split!
(peas cheering) (Split grunting) (tense music) - Whoa!
- Oh no.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
(Split grunts) (lively music) We did it!
Great work, team.
(peas babbling) (young Broccoliosaurus grunting) The last flower always tastes the best.
(serene music) - [Narrator] Young Broccoliosaurus are always happy to share.
- Mm.
- [Narrator] Eventually they all get to taste this seasonal treat.
- Well, gang, we should get going.
It's a long walk home.
(dramatic music) (peas cheering) Ah, taking the shortcut, huh?
- [Peas] Uh-huh.
(Ginger gasps) - [Peas] Whoa!
- Hey, wait for me!
- [Peas] Whoa!
(dramatic music continues) (gentle orchestral music) (exciting music) - Let's sing a song together.
