00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.060
High above the mist -clogged floor of the

00:00:02.060 --> 00:00:04.660
Himalayan foothills, Pip was having a morning of

00:00:04.660 --> 00:00:05.080
exquisite

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:05.740
laziness.

00:00:06.259 --> 00:00:08.220
He lay stretched out across a sturdy, moss

00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:11.320
-covered branch, his long, ringed tail dangling like

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:12.199
a velvet pendulum.

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:15.160
The bamboo forest was a symphony of rustling

00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.420
leaves and the distant, rhythmic chirping

00:00:17.420 --> 00:00:20.059
of mountain birds, but Pip wasn't interested in

00:00:20.059 --> 00:00:20.519
the noise.

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.120
He was interested in the golden slivers of

00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.140
sunlight that managed to pierce the thick

00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:27.859
canopy, warming the cinnamon -colored fur on his

00:00:27.859 --> 00:00:28.120
back.

00:00:28.730 --> 00:00:31.300
He shifted, his sharp claws kneading the bark

00:00:31.300 --> 00:00:33.880
as he yawned, revealing a tiny, pink -tongued

00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:34.259
mouth.

00:00:34.780 --> 00:00:37.100
A sudden, sharp crack echoed through the grove,

00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:39.399
a bamboo stalk snapping under the weight of

00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:40.100
the mountain wind.

00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:42.659
Pip's ears flicked forward instantly.

00:00:43.219 --> 00:00:45.979
His sleepy demeanor vanished, replaced by a wide

00:00:45.979 --> 00:00:47.299
-eyed, curious expression.

00:00:47.859 --> 00:00:50.539
He sat up, balancing precariously on his perch,

00:00:50.939 --> 00:00:53.039
his dark eyes scanning the dense greenery

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:53.399
below.

00:00:54.070 --> 00:00:56.380
He tilted his head from side to side,

00:00:56.619 --> 00:00:58.979
twitching his wet, black nose as he sampled

00:00:58.979 --> 00:00:59.340
the air

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:02.359
for scents, the damp earth, the sharp sweetness

00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.780
of fresh shoots, and the distant musk of

00:01:04.780 --> 00:01:04.920
a

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:05.560
mountain goat.

00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:08.739
Satisfied that the noise was merely the forest

00:01:08.739 --> 00:01:11.599
shifting in its sleep, Pip exhaled a soft,

00:01:11.819 --> 00:01:12.540
huffing sound.

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:15.680
The tension drained from his shoulders, and his

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.560
fluffiness seemed to settle back into

00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:18.420
a contented heap.

00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:21.379
He curled his bushy tail around his nose,

00:01:21.859 --> 00:01:24.439
creating a perfect, russet -colored nest against

00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:25.159
the cool air.

00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.019
With one last glance at the verdant world

00:01:28.019 --> 00:01:30.599
unfolding beneath him, he tucked his paws

00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.500
back into his fur, closed his eyes, and

00:01:33.500 --> 00:01:36.359
drifted back into the quiet, dappled serenity of

00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:36.560
his

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:37.939
high -altitude sanctuary.
