Audio script:

I think the inhabitants of Jupiter may be very different to human beings. This is how imagine them: They may be much bigger and more powerful than humans. Jupiterians may have eight legs and be able to move very fast. They may have a lot of hair all over their bodies and their skin might be very thick so they can live in temperatures of around -145 degrees Celsius. They may have four eyes and be able to see very far. They may also have a very good sense of smell and they may even be able to sense others’ feelings like happiness or fear. And I don’t think they eat and drink like us. Instead, they get all their energy from the rocks. They may charge their bodies by plugging their feet into the rock, just like charging a battery. That way, they don’t even need to breathe air. The only way they may be similar to us is they live in family units of parents and children. They may also use language to communicate with each other.
