Here it is. ''Tiger.
Panthera Tigris. Native of Asia.
:38:22
Ranges north to Siberia...
:38:25
and south to India
and the Malay Peninsula.''
:38:29
That can only mean one thing,
a land bridge.
:38:31
That's how there came to be
so many different kinds of
animals on one island.
:38:34
Well, how do you know
it's an island?
:38:38
Why couldn't it be
a peninsula?
:38:41
Well, why don't you let us
try and sail around it?
:38:46
You know how your mother
feels about that.
:38:49
It's just as
I was telling Fritz.
:38:51
I think there used to be a land bridge
between here and Asia.
:38:54
That would explain how so many
different types of animals
came to be trapped here.
:38:59
What do you think, Fritz?
Do you agree?
:39:03
I suppose there could have
been one a long time ago.
:39:07
There's only one way
to find out.
:39:09
Why don't you ask Mother again?
Maybe she'll change her mind.
:39:12
[ Ernst ] After all, Mother wants
to get to New Guinea as much as we do.
:39:15
There might be
something there...
:39:17
a village or an outpost,
someplace where ships come in.
:39:20
If the occasion presents itself,
I might bring it up.
:39:24
What's this,
spelling competition?
:39:27
Tiger, bear, elephant.
:39:30
That's the list of animals
we've identified so far.
:39:33
- Hyena, monkey, lizard.

:39:37
[ Barking ]
:39:39
Ostrich.
:39:42
[ Francis ]
Help!
:39:44
Whoa!
Help me, somebody!
:39:48
-[ Father ] Francis!
- Help!
:39:51
Francis, let go!
:39:53
I can't let go
or he'll get away!
:39:57
[ Fritz ]
Let him go anyway. We'll catch him.
