00:00I'm going, see you tonight.
00:17But where are you going, dad?
00:19To work. You know I'm an ecologist.
00:22I study plants and animals to better know them and protect them.
00:25Ah, you protect lions?
00:28No, there are no lions here.
00:30I work on plants and animals from home.
00:33Fish, insects and mammals.
00:35With my colleagues, we make an inventory of all the living beings in the community.
00:40What is an inventory?
00:42We go into nature and make a list of the different plants and animals there are.
00:46Great! Can I come with you, dad?
00:49If you want. Come on, we're going to pick up snails and count them.
00:52Go put on your boots.
00:59But no, we're looking for aquatic snails, not terrestrial snails.
01:03I didn't know snails took baths.
01:06People don't know that there are several species of snails that live in rivers.
01:10Come, I'll show them to you.
01:14Watch out, you're going to crush their house.
01:17But dad, I thought their shells were their house.
01:20Not exactly. Their shells protect them and the river protects them.
01:25You have to go slowly.
01:27I'll show you how to do it.
01:29Take your sieve, I'll take care of the net.
01:44But there are only pebbles!
01:46No, there are little snails too.
01:48We have to sort them out, we'll do it together.
01:51Why did we put a white sheet?
01:53To better see the snails that fall from the sieve.
01:56But they are tiny!
01:58Yes, the smallest ones are only 2 mm.
02:01It's much smaller than your nail.
02:03We're going to install the binocular magnifier to observe the larger snails
02:07and see which species they belong to.
02:21Nami, do you think these two snails belong to the same species?
02:25No, they are different.
02:27And why, in your opinion?
02:29The first one has more whirlpools and the hole of its shell is much smaller
02:33while the other one is huge!
02:36And also, they don't have the same color at all.
02:39In this river, we saw 12 different species.
02:42Look, I made a selection.
02:44Ah, I didn't think there were so many snails!
02:51Ta-da!
02:52I also want to be a snail lover later!
02:55We say ecologist, my dear!
03:21It's funny!
03:23There are plenty of snails!
03:26In the forest, I will become
03:29a famous ecologist!
03:32A famous ecologist!
