I should've been... more careful...
I just wanted to... swim in a real ocean...
Serval-chan, are you okay?
I guess this is where my journey ends...
Serval-chan!
Why...
Why did it have to come to this?
Welcome to, welcome to Japari Park!
welcome to youkoso Japari Park!
It's another day of noisy fun

Roar! Grr!

If we laugh out loud, we're gonna be Friends

Welcome to, welcome to Japari Park!

We all look unique, and that's part of the fun

Let's set off on our splendid journey
suteki na tabidachi
Welcome to Japari Park!
youkoso Japari Park!
We will now be passing through the mountains.
Looks cold...
There is a hot spring on the other side.
A hot spring?
It is a place where you can take a dip in hot water.
Where? Where? Sounds like fun!
You will also see ice-covered trees along the way.
Would you like to make a snow hut, as well?
I'll make the hot spring our destination.
This does sounds like fun.
A tour through the snowy mountains!
Let's go!
Boss? We're stuck again?
I see. Snow is slippery.
Wait one moment.
Woo-hoo! We're sliding right along! Now we can drive as much as we want.
The Snowy Mountains Area is a polar climate.
The temperature is just high enough for ice-covered trees.
The majority are coniferous needle-leaved trees, which tolerate the cold well.
This area also has a large amount of precipitation, so there is a lot of snow.
I've never seen snow before! I wanna touch it!
I'd like to, also.
Understood.
Brr!
It's cold. It's so cold!
How mysterious.
It's pretty, huh?
What's that white stuff over there?
Beats me.
That is the source of the spring.
The hot water coming from it goes all the way down to the hot spring at the bottom of the mountain.
Hot water?
How can water be hot? I wanna see!
Let's go take a look.
Snowy Mountain Course
m -459 -160 l -338 -162 -341 -175 -307 -152 -342 -125 -338 -139 -460 -138
Everything's covered in white.
Are there animals living here, too?
Yes, the snowy mountains also have animals.
Many of them are white, which camouflages them in the snow.
They may be difficult to spot.
Many of the animals have long fur for survival in the cold temperatures.
Now that you mention it, I'm kind of cold.
And will this weather hold?
We'll be fine! It won't take long to check out the hot spring.
I can't wait!
How did the weather change so quickly? I can't see past it.
What do we do? Lucky-san froze up, too.
I've never been anywhere this cold before.
I feel like I'm frozen, too.
Y-Yeah...
Serval-chan, let's make that thing he mentioned.
It's done!
We'll wait out the storm in here.
Amazing! How'd you know?
When I squeezed some snow earlier, it stuck together.
That's why I thought this might work, too.
Kaban-chan, you're so observant.
I feel a lot warmer just being out of that wind.
Thank goodness.
It's not stopping.
Yeah...
I can hear it from there.
Yeah. Right there.
Here? Okay, got it.
Please don't eat me!
There's a bunch of them!
Order: Carnivora Family: Canidae Genus: Vulpes
I'm Silver Fox.
Order: Carnivora Family: Canidae Genus: Vulpes
She's Ezo Red Fox.
Hi.
We took a peek in here because she said she heard something.
Strange thing you've made here.
We were pretty startled, too.
You popped your head in so suddenly...
That's how we foxes hunt our prey.
We listen for prey in the snow.
And once we have a mark, we jump,
and thrust our faces into the snow.
Nuh-uh. We sense their magnetic field.
There you go talking nonsense again.
So, what are you two doing here?
We were on our way to see the hot spring.
That's why you came all the way out here?
You don't look like animals who live in the snow to me.
You're right. We're really cold.
Underestimating the cold will get you killed.
You helpless things...
Here, hold these.
It's so warm. What is this?
It's nice and warm.
Silver Fox, I want one, too.
Doesn't your fur keep you warm enough?
Home's warmer than this, but you brought me all the way out here...
We only came out in this weather because you insisted we fix it fast.
Sounds like you're best friends.
What did you come out for?
The equipment we always use doesn't seem to be working.
We're on our way to check things out.
Looks like the storm's died down.
Shall we be on our way, then?
I like it in here. I want to stay and laze around.
Seriously, you...
We got to take a break, so that worked out.
That was a pretty interesting thing you made.
Where will you two go after you see the hot spring?
We're on our way to the harbor!
We were talking about stopping at a "hot spring" at the base of the mountain.
That's where we came from. We can take you along on the way back.
What an incredible color.
It smells strange, too.
Something's shooting out of the ground!
I know what it is!
What is it?
There are waves, and it's warm, and you can swim in it...
This is the ocean!
No, it's not.
This isn't the ocean.
Aw!
It's warm!
Really?
That's because the source is really close.
Wait... if I went in this, It would feel great, wouldn't it?
That one's regular old cold water.
Serval-chan!
I should've been more careful.
Why...
Why did it have to come to this?
Enjoy the ocean for me too, okay?
Strange girls...
There's a footbath. You should warm up there.
It feels so nice!
This is amazing! A new experience!
It's great. Are you two going to join us?
We'll use the hot spring later.
First, Red Fox, do you have any ideas?
Something feels strange over there, maybe...
The extractor?
m 202 76 l 1076 76 1076 199 202 199
St-Félicien Zoo, Christine-oneesan (Canada)
The fox has keen eyesight and a very good sense of smell.
They'll pick up on the sounds of mice and other small prey under the snow,
head for the tunnel openings their prey made,
and jump into the snow to catch them.
Miyagi Zao Fox Village, Satou-oneesan (Miyagi)
There are two main types of foxes, the Arctic fox and the red fox.
The silver fox is a mutation of the red fox.
Foxes are black at birth, and their fur will change to red or black,
but silver foxes turn to a silvery gray-black mixture.
It's not as if, between red and silver foxes,
one type is more docile and the other stronger or anything.
A fox with docile parents will be docile,
and a fox with stubborn parents will be stubborn, the same as with people.
Something smells good.
Anyway, we don't have an exact location, but we want to go into the mountain...
That's a sacred place.
You cannot enter it.
Aw!
Aw...
Intriguing. Could this be...
Could this be a chance to find out the location of the four gods?
Perhaps we should allow them to continue their chase.
Indeed.
I thought so. The sulfur jammed it up.
It's been a while since I've seen this much.
When the sulfur deposits are big, there are more Ceruleans too, right?
Do you have to say such ominous things?
Serval-chan, do you think this is another "attraction"?
Huh?
Wow, who knew I'd find a hot spring on a Cerulean check?
I-I mean... Ahem.
Judging from yesterday's incident, the Ceruleans are stealing Sandstar.
Or rather, I believe they may be eating it.
On the off-chance that they eat any Friends,
the skills and traits they received from the Sandstar might be lost.
They might return to their original animal forms, or even be wiped out.
There may be any number of effects.
This is all still in the realm of prediction, but...
I can't let them threaten those darling Friends!
I'll do whatever it takes to find the cause of this.
Sounds like someone who really cares about Friends.
I wonder what she's like. Where could she be right now?
Mirai-san! Look, look!
Is this the ocean?!
That's not the ocean!
"Mirai-san"...
That voice...
All right. Mission accomplished.
And the hot spring will be back to normal, too.
There's so much!
The mountain's so close!
The mountain the Sandstar comes from?
There are lots of stories about that mountain.
I'd like to see it for myself.
Do you know what's happening with that mountain, Silver Fox?
I haven't been there yet. It's in another Area, after all.
Not to mention it's a sacred place.
You need the professor's permission to go in.
Red Fox-san? What is it?
Those are...
Aren't those Ceruleans?
A-Are they coming this way?
Th-There are too many to fight. Let's run!
They're too fast. Even if we run, they'll overtake us.
We need to hide, or find a high place.
But where? There's nowhere to hide!
What'll we do? What can we do?
I'll never be able to play video games again? Disappointing...
Kaban-chan will take care of it!
She always comes up with good ideas at times like this.
Um...
Like this?
Yes. Thank you.
Okay, I'll push. Everybody in!
They're almost on us!
We're so fast! We can escape now!
If you lean, you can turn it a little.
Amazing, amazing! Sledding's fun!
Let's stop down there. Red Fox-san, Silver Fox-san, can we do it?
Leave it to me. I've honed my skill in video games.
Silver Fox, more to the right.
Like this?
Thank goodness. We made it safe and sound.
Let's wait until they're gone before we descend the mountain.
I'll get in touch with the hunters later, too.
We made it...
There's so much hot water.
The spring's here, too.
It's working. Yes!
What's this? It looks fun!
It's a video game.
Wow.
Red Fox, take a bath first.
I don't wanna. Let me play one level first.
One level first!
Nice and warm.
I was waiting. Thanks for bringing the hot water back.
Order: Rodentia Family: Caviidae Genus: Hydrochoerus
Hot springs are amazing.
I don't handle the cold well, so this was a huge help.
I found out today that I don't handle the cold well, either.
Hot springs are the best.
Hot springs are the best!
Can I get out now?
Not until you count to thirty.
Kaban-chan, aren't you getting in?
Um... Is it okay to go in with your clothes on?
I get the sense you should take them off first.
What are "clothes"?
Huh?
You know, these.
Huh?! They come off?!
Do mine, too?!
This is an incredible discovery!
Huh? Ah, um...
But you're not supposed to undress completely in front of people, either...
Wow. We're so smooth without clothes on.
Kaban-chan, take yours off, too!
The water's warmer this way...
Oh, yeah. You know our sled?
Supposedly there's a really big one at the harbor.
Wow! Really?
They say it can move over the water.
Why would anyone want to do something so scary?
Do you need a sled to go into the ocean?
Well, no, but... Can you swim?
Huh? Is the ocean that big?
They also say that the humans could move it. Maybe Kaban could.
Huh? Really?
I'm even more excited to get to the harbor.
Bye!
Thank you!
Take care!
Later.
Once we're through the mountain pass, we'll get to the ocean!
I can't wait to see if there are humans.
Yeah!
First, shall we rest for the night?
There's some lodging in a good location nearby today.

Yes, it was stolen on the same day as the most recent eruption!
Oh, that one. It was a pretty big one, wasn't it?
Seems like we'll have a lot of new Friends born this year.
When are they born again?
When Sandstar touches an animal, they become a Friend.
The same goes for a thing that was once an animal.
Yes! Just between us, Giant Penguin-san is that type of Friend.
Really?!
That explains things!
I always thought her bearing didn't match her appearance.
It sort of feels like she has a lot of history.
Was Kaban-san just born this year, too?
Oh? Kaban-san also came through here, did she?
It's like we have some kind of connection.
PPP Preview!
This week, we're learning about wolves.
An alpha male and alpha female pair are at the top of the hierarchy in a wolf pack.
What? That's totally cool!
Wolves are super cool!
Next time: "Lodge."
