I am really excited. 01:36 We're at Battle Creek, Michigan at Binder Park Zoo 01:39 and we're gonna be talking about cheetahs today 01:42 and we have an expert on cheetahs, Chuck. 01:44 How are you doing, Chuck? I am doing great. 01:46 And you know what, I am looking at these cheetahs 01:48 and you told me before we start to filming here that 01:51 you actually hand raised one of these cheetahs from birth. 01:55 Yeah, the cheetah that's on exhibit today was born here, 01:59 should be 14 in October this year. 02:02 So you've been here a few years then. 02:04 A few years. Yeah. 02:05 I've been here this is my 19th season at the zoo. 02:08 So you see lot of animals? 02:10 Yeah, on a daily basis. 02:12 What can you tell us about cheetahs 02:13 obviously raising them and that's tremendous. 02:16 They are actually quite adapted to this climate. Okay. 02:22 They don't really mind the snow. 02:23 We take extra precautions with them in the winter time. 02:26 But if you see a cheetah, 02:28 if they're laying out here in the grass 02:30 with all the spots that they have that's for camouflage, 02:33 that's so wonder hiding in the wild when 02:35 they're looking for their prey. 02:37 They are able to blend in well 02:39 with the grasses in Africa, 02:41 it's mostly brown grasses so they blend in quite well. 02:44 So is this cheetah then mainly from Africa, 02:47 is that any other place in the wild than Africa? 02:50 There is a small population left in Iran. Okay. 02:54 And other than that it's all down in Africa. 02:56 So normally, kids, its sounds like 02:58 they normally aren't in the snow 03:00 but you say they adapt well in the snow. 03:01 We had cats that love to come out in the yard 03:05 when there is snow in the winter time 03:06 to play aroundin it, 03:08 some of them act kind o funny the first they ever see it. 03:11 I'll bet they do. Yeah. 03:12 We just we take extra precautions 03:14 in the winter time here with the lot of 03:16 the animals not just these guys, 03:17 but anyone that are from the warm climates. 03:20 So how many, how many babies do they have, 03:23 they have like one? 03:24 They normally have two to four in the litter size. 03:27 And how many do they all survive most of times? 03:31 It's really hard to get them to breed in captivity. 03:33 Is that right. 03:35 Most of the time mother raised 03:39 and that they're usually pretty successful 03:41 depending on you know, in the zoos yes 03:43 'cause they have-- we have vet care, 03:45 animal care staff that's keeping track all of them. 03:48 In the wild probably not as much as so. 03:51 The one on exhibit we hand raised here 03:53 her and her sister, 03:55 because mom wasn't taken care all of them, so. 03:58 Does that happen very often that most of the times kids, 04:01 you know, you got good moms and they raise you fine, 04:03 but apparently sometimes the animals 04:05 they don't they let them go, 04:06 they just don't raise them that well or what? 04:08 Its in zoos it's not as uncommon. Okay. 04:12 In the wild you really can't tell 04:14 because nobody is there watching on them. Okay. 04:17 Plus moms will leave babies to go hunt 04:19 and then come back to them. 04:21 So I have another question, 04:22 what kind of food do these cheetahs like? 04:26 In the zoo they get a commercially 04:28 prepared meat diet. Okay. 04:29 And then they get the knuckle bone once a week. 04:31 Now knuckle I mean, to me those are my knuckles. 04:35 So tell what's a knuckle bone? 04:37 It's just a big bone from mainly from cow or horses. 04:41 Okay, just a big bone, okay. 04:44 So what else about cheetahs, 04:45 now there is one thing that I know 04:46 and that is cheetahs are pretty fast. 04:50 Cheetahs are pretty fast since I've been here 04:53 cheetahs were thought to run 60 miles an hour 04:56 now its increased to 70 miles an hour. 04:59 But that is when they are at the last point 05:03 of chasing their prey I don't see in impala 05:06 or gazelle and they use their burst of energy 05:09 to actually catch it. 05:11 The problem is if they use too much of the energy 05:15 then they can't protect the prey if they catch it, 05:18 so the hyenas and the lions 05:20 can come and take it from them. 05:21 So they have to, so they have to do that, 05:22 you know, kids, as we were driving here 05:25 there was a speed limit sign of like 55 mile an hour 05:28 you know, if that cheetah was running at 70, take it, 05:32 I mean that's fast 70 mile an hour 05:35 but they can't do it very long. 05:36 It's for just a short period of time. 05:39 Wow, that is tremendous. 05:41 Nature's got second book. 05:42 So get out there and take a look. 06:07 God bless families everywhere, loving people who truly care 06:15 Kind and giving in all they do, 06:18 they let the love shine through 06:22 God bless families great and small, 06:26 fathers, mothers and children all 06:30 Daily offering thanks anew, 06:33 they let the love shine through! 06:37 God bless families far and near, 06:40 homes of happiness, hearts of cheer 06:44 Like the family Jesus knew, 06:47 they let the love shine through! 06:51 God bless families old God bless families new 06:58 Made of people like me and you! 07:18 Welcome to Learning Time. Glad you join us today. 07:21 By the looks of the things on the table, 07:23 looks like we're gonna have a fire, 07:24 doesn't it? Yeah. 07:27 Well, don't worry about it 07:28 because we've got Maxwell, 07:29 Maxwell is going to be our fire dog. 07:32 How about that? Yeah. 07:34 Yeah, and we've got a fire extinguisher. 07:36 Now you can't do this experiment at home, 07:38 but it sure is a lot of fun to watch. 07:40 And I've got three helpers. 07:41 I've got Kaylie over here, and now Kaylie, 07:44 what's your favorite breed of animal? 07:46 My favorite animal is the horse 07:48 and my favorite breed of course 07:50 is Arabian and Thoroughbreds. 07:52 Yeah and they are beautiful animals. 07:54 And we have Joshua over here. 07:55 Now, Joshua, I heard that you broke some bones, 07:58 you want to tell me about it? 07:59 Yes I did break some bones I was in the car wreck 08:03 and I broke bones in my neck C4 and C5. 08:07 That's pretty serious, isn't that? 08:08 It was and I'm very glad to be alive. 08:10 I am glad that you are here too. 08:13 And we have Sara over here. 08:14 Now, Sara, what do you like to do for Jesus? 08:17 I like to thank. 08:19 Oh, and that so wonderful thing to do, isn't it? 08:22 Hey, let me get my helpers to come on up here 08:24 and I'm gonna have them come way over here 08:27 because we want you to be far enough away from the fire, 08:30 so that we don't get burned, okay. 08:32 And lets see yeah, move over just here a little bit. 08:34 You know what, since we're using some flames and fire, 08:37 what should we wear? Safety glasses. 08:40 We should be wearing some safety glasses. 08:42 Okay, and so here's a pair for you, 08:44 Joshua, and, Sara, there's a pair for you. 08:47 Thank you. You are welcome. 08:49 And, Kaylie, there's a pair for you. 08:51 You think I had to wear a pair? Yes. 08:53 Yeah, let's get this on here. 08:54 Okay, now I'm going to put our little 08:55 fire extinguisher down here, 08:57 but its there ready for us. 08:58 Now today we're gonna be using some fire 09:01 and I've got a little cup 09:03 and I've little sponge in here 09:05 and we've got a little bit of fuel in there. 09:06 And we're gonna start a little fire 09:08 and you know what, this fire 09:09 kind of reminds me of something. 09:11 You know, we have a book in the Bible called James, 09:13 you know, James talks about fire and he says, 09:16 you know, that words are kind of like fire, 09:18 a little fire is not very harmful, is it? 09:21 No, but if the fire gets out of control, what could it do? 09:25 It could be very dangerous. 09:27 Very dangerous, it could burn us up. 09:28 Well, what we gonna do right here is 09:30 we're gonna try to make a tornado, 09:32 a fire tornado and so what I'm gonna do actually, 09:35 I'm gonna spin this little turntable right here 09:38 and you know what, its just kind of stays 09:40 as up regular flames and hot air goes where, 09:43 does hot air go up or down? Up. 09:46 Its goes up so hot air is going up 09:48 and the screen wire that we have right here. 09:50 If I rotate the screen wire, 09:52 its gonna cause some air to come 09:55 at a right angle to the hot air coming up 09:57 and we're gonna end up with a tornado 10:00 and that's what a tornado is, isn't that cool? Yes. 10:03 So lets see if it'll work, here we go, 10:05 so were gonna check this out right here 10:07 and we're gonna spin there, 10:10 wow, can you see that tornado? Yes. 10:14 Now that's what we call a fire tornado 10:17 and you know what, fire fighters 10:20 rather sometimes they have to fight fires 10:23 that are tornados, because you know what happens, 10:26 the hot air going up 10:27 and cooled air comes in along side of it makes that tornado. 10:31 And sometimes those fire tornados can go up 10:34 about one kilometer high 10:36 and so it can go way up high 10:37 into the trees a little tiny fire. 10:39 Well, you know, James is talking about 10:41 our words has been fire. 10:43 A little fire can hurt us, but you know what, 10:46 it can get out of control. 10:48 Have your words ever gotten out of control? Yeah. 10:52 I mean, have you ever said something mean, 10:53 or bad, or something about someone? Yeah. 10:56 They can get out of control 10:57 and our words can destroy us and people. 11:00 You know, we have a saying 11:01 and the saying goes like this, 11:03 you know what, sticks and stones 11:04 will break my what? Bones. 11:06 Bones, but sometimes we say words were what? 11:10 Never hurt us. Never hurt us. 11:11 But that's not true because words can hurt us 11:13 and our tongue can hurt people as well. 11:15 Well, you know what, I think we better go ahead 11:17 and put this little fire, I'm gonna move this over here 11:20 and we're gonna take some heat 11:22 and oxygen right out of it 11:23 because we're gonna get all smoked up here, 11:25 aren't we. Yes. 11:28 Well, you know, I don't know about you, 11:29 but I want my words not to be 11:32 an outraging fire, how about you? Yeah. 11:35 Yeah, what kind of word should we speak? 11:38 Kind words and loving words. 11:40 Kind and loving words, 11:41 that's very important, that's right. 11:43 And you know, when we learn more about science, 11:46 we learn more about our Creator, God. 12:10 I'm tired. 12:13 I know you are tired and its laden, 12:14 and Paul has been speaking a long time 12:16 but he is leaving Troas tonight. 12:19 We don't know when we'll see him again. 12:20 Lets, lets listen to everything he has to say. 12:25 My dear, dear friends of Troas, 12:30 I will thank my God, every time I remember you. 12:37 Amen.

Amen. 13:34 We crucified Him upon a cross 13:38 and He paid the penalty for your sins. 13:42 Thank you, Jesus. And for my sins. 13:46 And when He died, they placed Him in a tomb 13:50 and some believe that Jesus was dead and gone, 13:55 but we know, because people saw first hand 13:59 that our Jesus rose from the grave. 14:03 He was triumphant over death 14:06 and He lives today for you and for me 14:11 that we might have the gift of eternal life. 14:14 There is no God like our God. 14:19 I must leave you, 14:24 but God has promised to never leave you nor forsake you. 14:32 And He has provided for His son 14:34 Jesus Christ to come back again.
