Billy Bolex's video: Morning Musume at the Zoo: Find the Animals

In this segment from Hello! Morning of Sept. 11, 2005, two then-current members of Morning Musume, Eri Kamei and Koharu Kusumi, and one former member, Kaori Iida, travel to a zoo outside of Tokyo and are joined by a male comedian whose name I didn’t catch. There are two parts to the trip. In the first, they travel through a wildlife reserve in one of those caged trucks where they get to feed bears, lions and tigers. Then, at the zoo, the four of them are divided into two teams and given boards with names of animals hidden under tape. They have to pull off the tape one animal at a time, find the animal, get a passerby to take a picture of them with the animal using a polaroid camera, paste the picture onto the board, pull the next tape off, find the next animal, etc. The team that completes it first wins. I couldn’t tell who actually won. Animals we see include kangaroos, a capybara, a kangaroo rat, an armadillo, monkeys, lemurs and cats. At the end, Eri bottlefeeds a lion cub and Koharu runs from a snake.
