The Case of the Silent Animal

**The Case of the Silent Animal** is the seventh of Season 2 of Fishtronaut and fifty-ninth episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode opens with a parrot singing during a singing competition, in which the judges say that the parrot needs more practice during the singing competition. Fishtronaut then introduces a giraffe, the final chorister for the singing competition as Billy and Mac thought that giraffes are silent animals. As she sings during the competition, the audience and judges liked her singing in which Fishtronaut and Marina never thought a giraffe could sing during the competition. All of a sudden, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a pair of paddles and a pair of ear protectors

Receiving the clues, Zeek confuses for Ping-Pong Paddles as Marina explains that they are both related to people at the airport (the ear protectors help people protect their ears from loud noises and the paddles are used to communicate with special signals). As Fishtronaut sees Zeek wearing the ear protectors, he thought this has something to do with someone who can't hear as Marina says the paddles are linked to animals that fly like planes. Fishtronaut tells Marina to investigate on the ground while Fishtronaut investigates on the air. Meanwhile, Marina and Zeek meet a bellbird to know if she knows about any deaf birds in the park. The bellbird responds to them in a bell-like tweet, meaning that she didn't know any of the deaf birds in the park. Up in the air, Fishtronaut encounters a flock of agile swallows and Fishtronaut asks them if they saw any deaf birds in the park. One of them tells Fishtronaut that one of them didn't see any deaf birds.

Back on the ground, Marina and Zeek see some geese as Zeek tells them if they saw any deaf animals in the park, in which the geese tell them they didn't see any deaf animals in the park. The trio found out that they didn't find any deaf animals after talking to each bird. Behind the trio is a flock of storks. As Zeek talks to the storks, he thought the storks are upset (Marina says that storks communicate by clattering their beaks as their voices are quiet). Fishtronaut found out that the mission is not about deaf animals, but opposite: a silent animal. Fishtronaut found out that with the ear protectors on, an animal's dialogue can't be heard and Marina doesn't understand the paddles clue, as the trio decided to find other silent animals beside storks. Marina thought of a giraffe, in which Zeek thought the giraffe is singing. The trio decides to find out what is wrong with a non-silent giraffe.

Meanwhile, the gang sees an audience of animals liking the giraffe's singing. Passing through the audience of animals, Zeek accidentally falls on her body and prevents her singing voice from happening as the animals prompt the giraffe to sing more. Before the audience can hear more, Dr. Green starts to examine the giraffe if anything is wrong with her. Marina thought if the giraffe will either be mute or will she ever sing, but Dr. Green explains that giraffes are silent animals and giraffes only emit different sounds only they can hear. All of a sudden, Zeek accidentally sits on a cicada who was on the giraffe. The cicada is annoyed with Zeek sitting on her, saying that this is her resting spot as the gang found out that it was the cicada singing and not the giraffe. It is revealed that the giraffe *was* pretending to sing using her voice in which the giraffe did not see the cicada. Dr. Green explains that the giraffe can talk through sides and make herself understood besides the sounds only giraffes could hear. Dr. Green found out that the giraffe's nod means that she said yes as the paddles are linked to someone who says things without saying a word. Fishtronaut found out that the mission is to show the giraffe that silent or deaf animals can communicate, and can also live some others who can hear and talk.

Fishtronaut tells the giraffe that there are lots of animals that have voices to communicate with while others don't, like storks and storks can understand each other by clattering their beaks with each other. As the giraffe bows, this means she likes the trio, but the cicada interrupts to know if she and the giraffe could participate in the singing competition. Marina says that the cicada can participate, but the giraffe cannot pretend to sing like the cicada. All of a sudden, another P.O.P. arrives towards the gang.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** a giraffe-themed saxophone

Receiving the reward, Marina is happy that the giraffe can participate with this saxophone. As the cicada begins singing, the giraffe plays with the saxophone in which the audience liked their performance on stage.
