Funniest Animal Moment: "We were filming a scene in which a horse comes up behind Brooke
[Nevin] and nudges her in the back. But the horse nudged her so hard, she went flying into
Christopher [Ralph]'s arms.

Favorite Animorphs animal: "Bongo, the lion. Once, when he was sleeping in his cage, I lay
down about a foot away, to see what it would be like to lie in the middle of the jungle with a
lion. It's like lying next to your cat, except he's really big."
Brooke Nevin: Rachel
Morphs into: lion, fly, cat, cockroach, butterfly
Funniest animal moment: "In one scene I had to make a hawk jump onto my arm. To entice it, I
had to hold out a chicken leg. Then I watched as it ate the chicken leg right there on my arm,
which grossed me out a little bit."
Animal she'd like to morph into: "A bird of prey, such as a hawk. An animal that could soar."
Shawn Ashmore: Jake
Morphs into: tiger, lizard, dog, butterfly, cockroach
Scariest animal moment: "I had to pet a white tiger, and Micheal Hackenberger [the animal
trainer] told me exactly what I could and couldn't do, such as 'Don't move your hand away
quickly' and 'Don't run away, because it'll think you're prey and come after you.' So I started
petting the tiger, and somehow it jerked it's head, and my fingers went up it's nose. I thought,
'If this isn't the time to move my hand away, I don't know what is!' But I also thought, 'If I
move my hand away, the tiger will probably bite me,' so I stood there in shock."
What happened next: "I kept on petting until I heard Micheal say, 'Back away, back away,'
which is what I did. It was kind of cool and funny, but at the time I was pretty scared."
