More Rivers (Transcript)

The SG Team are now in the Lake Tanganyika exhibit where there are a lot of cichlids. It is not a river but managed to be in a river-themed zoo.

Emma: This the Lake Tanganyika exhibit, the the second-oldest freshwater lake in the world. It is shared between 4 countries in Africa, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi and Zambia.

Toby: This isn't a river, it's a lake.

Zoe: More of a long lake.

Josh: At least there is some beautiful fish here.

Zoe: Yeah.

Raphael: Then why is it in a river-themed zoo?

Emma: Don't ask me.

Song: Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots

Raphael: #I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard #I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words #I wish I found some chords in an order that is new #I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang #I was told, when I get older, all my fears would shrink #But now I'm insecure, and I care what people think#

Josh: #My name's Blurryface and I care what you think #My name's Blurryface and I care what you think#

Tommy: #Wish we could turn back time to the good old days #When our momma sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out #Wish we could turn back time to the good old days #When our momma sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out #We're stressed out#

Zoe: #Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young #How come I'm never able to identify where it's comin' from? #I'd make a candle out of it, if I ever found it #Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one #It'd be to my brother, 'cause we have the same nose #Same clothes, homegrown, a stone's throw from a creek we used to roam #But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered #Out of student loans and treehouse homes, we all would take the latter#

Emma: #My-my-my name's Blurryface and I care what you think #My name's Blurryface and I care what you think#

All: #Wish we could turn back time to the good old days #When our momma sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out #Wish we could turn back time to the good old days #When our momma sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out#

Toby: #We used to play pretend, give each other different names #We would build a rocket ship an' then we'd fly it far away #Used to dream of outer space, but now they're laughin' at our face #Sayin', "Wake up, you need to make money!," yeah #We used to play pretend, give each other different names #We would build a rocket ship an' then we'd fly it far away #Used to dream of outer space, but now they're laughin' at our face #Sayin', "Wake up, you need to make money!," yeah#

All: #Wish we could turn back time to the good old days #When our momma sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out #Wish we could turn back time to the good old days #When our momma sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out#

Zoe: Where to next?

Emma: Ganges River.

Toby: Okay.

The kids went to the Ganges River exhibit where there are not only fish, but also turtles and crocodiles.

Zoe: Cool, I like turtles.

Emma: This is Ganges River, a trans-boundary river which flows through India to Bangladesh.

Tommy: Who's Ladesh and why do you have to bang him?

Toby: Oh my god.

Zoe: Not the joke please.

Tommy: Sorry.

Zoe: It's alright, it's just a river anyways.

Song: Just Around The Riverbend from Pocahontas

Zoe: #What I love most about rivers is #You can't step in the same river twice #The water's always changing, always flowing #But people, I guess, can't live like that #We all must pay a price #To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing #What's around the riverbend #Waiting just around the riverbend #I look once more, just around the river bend #Beyond the shore, where the gulls fly free #Don't know what for #What I dream the day might send #Just around the river bend for me #Coming for me #I feel it there beyond those trees #Or right behind these waterfalls #Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming #For a handsome sturdy husband #Who builds handsome sturdy walls #And never dreams that something might be coming? #Just around the river bend #Just around the river bend #I look once more, just around the river bend #Beyond the shore, somewhere past the sea #Don't know what for #Why do all my dreams extend #Just around the river bend? #Just around the river bend #Should I choose the smoothest course #Steady as the beating drum? #Should I marry Kocoum? #Is all my dreaming at an end? #Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver #Just around the river bend?#

Josh: There's some turtles here.

Zoe: Yeah and crocs.

Toby: Should we head to Mekong River next?

Emma: Nope, Mary River first.

Raphael: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go.

The SG Team went to the Mary River exhibit.

Emma: This is the Mary River exhibit. Based off a river system in Queensland.

Josh: Queensland?! This better not be Kayla.

Zoe: You know there's a Mary River in Western Australia too?

Josh: Wait really?

Emma: Despite the states you're from, your still Australian. I mean, these fish are from your country.

Zoe: Wait, the Mangrove horseshoe crab is not Australian. It's endemic to India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and the Philippines. And mudskippers are found in the Indian ocean between India and Indonesia.

Josh: Yeah, but our state is in the Indian ocean too. I'm pretty sure we could find mudskippers there.

Zoe: Not in the wild.

Emma: At least the lungfish here are Australian.

Zoe: That's also endemic to Queensland.

Toby: Anyways, can we go to the next exhibit?

Emma: Okay. Let's go.
