Recap

It's Halloween! Diego, Alicia and Freddie the Fruit Bat are setting up trick-or-treating booths for all the animals. When suddenly, they hear a cry for help. Diego uses Click to find the animals in trouble. It's llamas! Oh, no! The llamas were bringing the goodie bags to the Rescue Center when suddenly, that bridge is broken. Now the llamas won't be able to come into the rainforest. They have to fix the bridge so that the llamas can bring the treats to the party! Al rescate! The viewers help Freddie use echoes, to get through the Rainforest Maze. Then, they help Freddie climb inside a tree hole to find Baby Jaguar's lost hat, go past the cave with the Bobos dressed up as ghosts at the dead end, and then navigate 'arriba/abajo' through the Spider Webs all the way to the broken bridge. Diego secures the bridge and all of the llamas run into the rainforest with the treats. It's time to trick-or-treat!!!

Fruit Bat Facts

1. Fruit bats eat fruit, not jellyfish because they sting you, causing death.
2. Fruit bats use their wings to fly, not swim, therefore making them one of the animals to drown easily.
3. Fruit bats make echoes, not bubbles.
4. Fruit bats live in the rainforest, not the snow because it's too cold.

Animals found by Click

• Ducks (with pumpkin costumes)
• Llamas (with clown costumes)
