this neck of the woods located directly
0:13
underneath the Space Needle it's not

0:17
remodeled but also endorsed under

moss and growth and of course the very
0:56
large sign woodland creatures galore
1:00
have taken over is that is that possum
1:04
of course the classic water-driven heavy
1:07
ball still out front and what appears to
1:09
be a Nickelodeon splat on the ground but
1:11
a set of warren's it's colored blue
1:15
the secret is
1:19
there it goes spinning it the success
1:28

1:28
spinning around on just that tiny bit of
1:31
water

2:51
wolf girl who was reared by those
2:54
animals for eight years and after she

country looking for these strange and
3:22
unusual and as you know he was born on
3:24
Christmas Day watch what happens when I
3:26
walk into frame play close attention to
3:29
my face
3:30
well there my head yep my head it's a
3:32
little bit odd
3:34
the story of this gentleman is a
3:35
fascinating one because in the 1870s he
3:38
made this self sculpture of himself
3:40
using his real fingernails and hair yes
3:43
his eyebrows and beard are real mr.
3:47

6:17
human hand in a case if you look closely
6:20

6:23
tail fin back there see it also looks
6:26
like he swallows some tiny little
6:27
mechanisms into his belly your hunger

7:05
Smith the one-armed paper hanger is
7:08
doing a little work on the Berlin Wall
7:10
that figure down there is exploding
7:12
apart you can see him completely look at
7:14
that he's like his body's being ripped
7:16
to shreds while this elephant and
7:18
onlookers pay close attention
7:20
sushi made of laundry lint doubt that
7:23
probably would not be appetizing one
7:25
cure for insomnia might not be counting
7:27
sheep but creating a mouth whale the
7:30
theming of the artistic area is very
7:32
creative even paint on the floor I like
7:35
it
7:35
this guy's taking a photo of his
7:37
girlfriend who's about to enter the cave
7:39
I should probably go in there too and
7:41
see what see what's going on very
7:44
interactive
7:50
through here can you guess the animal
7:50
calls I have to press the yellow button
7:58
that's that's too easy
7:58
remnants of gold dust on the ground but
8:01
can I grab the fool's gold I guess
8:06

8:11
my hand have it the fool's gold
8:22
a slight shower is happening
8:24
which is what propels the waterwheel
8:33
it's makin things happen cycling around
8:33
into this lake and then eventually to
8:37
deter by which powers the city don't
8:41
fret
8:42
you have nothing to worry about at the
8:44
exit of the cave that alligator will not
8:47
harm you and no it's not albino at first
8:51
I thought it was as well I was mistaken
8:54
after reading the placard I was informed
8:58
by peeking in those windows we can get a
9:00
look at some of nature's crazy creatures
9:03
like an eight-legged Siamese piglet a
9:06
five-legged lamb or a three-way is it
9:10
lagged or legged rooster I don't know
9:14
what the appropriate pronunciation is
9:16
imagine seeing this guy walking around
9:18
like a human or stumbling on a
9:20
two-headed calf it's a real crapshoot
9:23
one of these is a meteorite the other a
9:27
hunk of food here goes nothing
9:40
failed getting my bearings now I'm below
9:40
that bridge I crossed a bit ago English
9:46
pub Fox looking very dapper very dapper
9:50
indeed his sandboxes are always a lot of
9:53
fun you can direct the water yourself
9:56
just by pushing it like this the water
9:59
will look at that a nice array of
10:01
stalagmites and stalactites do you know
10:06
the difference stalactites hold tight to
10:10
the ceiling and stalagmites might touch
10:14
the ceiling if you stare at this too
10:16
long it will drive you insane not
10:19
because of the framerate my camera is
10:23
picking up but because the water seems
10:25
to be floating instead of going up and
10:27
down it's just floating there and that
10:30
cave the cave of floating water appears
10:34
as if they're always looking for new
10:36
items if you have something you think
10:38
might belong in this exhibit please
10:40
