    Animal Quiz: The Mystery of the Handstand

    Zoom the kid detective and field biologist Dr. Marlow are back with ten clues that start tricky and get easier, so a 5-year-old can shout out a guess whenever they like.

Kids pick up how clues fit together (a short gut means eating all day long), and the episode ends on a hopeful note about people helping a wild animal recover.
