Epic Animal Facts - Wild Kratts

Oh yeah! Bring on the creature powers! Okay, I pre-programmed the discs for Sperm Whale and Giant Squid, but I haven't run any trials. It's too soon, and I obviously haven't figured out how to deal with the pressure. We'll have to rely on the code found in the whale and squid DNA. What do they always mean, DNA? DNA is the biological code that gives every animal their special features. Every type of animal has their own DNA code hidden in every cell of their body. But how are you going to access the DNA code when you can't even touch the animals? Uh, hello? I'm touching a giant squid right now! I was slimed by the giant squid, remember? I'm covered with squid slime! Ah, and I've got a whale tooth! Atta power, Suge! Gotta get to the water! I'm just a blob of jelly with eight arms! Wait a second, did you say arms? Don't you mean tentacles? Hey, I've got those too! Squids have both arms and tentacles. The eight shorter ones are arms. You can tell because they have suckers all the way down. Oh, so the two longer ones are the tentacles. They only have suckers on the ends. Whoa, that's awesome! Uh, need water to move! Oops, sorry guys! Oh, yeah! These are the best creature power suits ever! Let's dive! Giant squid, ruler of the deep! Oh, I could eat you right now! I've got teeth! I'm a toothed whale! Heads up, big head! Martin, we gotta follow the real sperm whale and giant squid before it's too late! Let's go! How deep can it go in those suits? I admit it, I'm out of my depth when it comes to dealing with the pressure of the deep. Just hope the secrets of the whale and the squid are in the creature power suits. I'll be keeping one giant squid eye on the pressure gauges! We're passing the depth where the sub crumpled. Feeling a little squeezed, but good. How about you, bro? Comfy, like snoozing in a bed of jelly. How's that comfy? It's a squid thing. Let's do this! Miniaturized and standing by. Okay, it's done. Delivering secret disguise? Go, go, go, go, go! Oh, look at those huge scoopfuls of sand she grabs with her hind feet! We better hustle, Chris! Whoa, now this is an impressive face! I'll call her Crocodilla! Oh, check out those teeth! 64 dagger teeth! Twice as many as we have! Oh, it's a good thing we just look like a couple of crocodile eggs! See? You don't trust her either. Just don't awaken the beast, guys. I don't even think she sees us! She's in that special trance that crocodiles get into when they lay their eggs! The trance! She's at step two! Egg laying! Did I crack? Nope, you're good! 56, 57, 57 eggs! One by one, she lays her eggs in the nest chamber! If all these hatch, there'll be lots of little Nile crocodiles running around here in about three months! She's burying them! Are you kidding me? She just drops her eggs in a hole and covers them up? I told you guys, that is one cold creature! We'll see! Let's get in there, Martin! What? Get in where? Where else? The nest! We're crocodile eggs! Those are our pals down there, Aviva! Besides, how else are we going to find out the secrets of crocodile birth? Let's get cracking, Martin! Guys, wait! We're losing you! I'll have to make some adjustments to the signal receiver! Whoa, she's stomping the sand! Looks like she's packing them in! I knew this was a bad idea! Never trust a crocodile! I'm getting a signal again! Yo there, guys! We're fine! The eggs have landed! She's done! We did it! We're in a crocodile nest! Now what? Come on, Aviva! There is a softer side to these crocs! Well, I am pretty impressed with how protective croc moms are. Even the turtle mom knows it! But crocs still always seem to be snapping their jaws at everybody! But the hippo snapped at her, and the monitor lizard tried to eat her eggs! Still, I'd like them more if there was a little less jaw snapping. Hatching! We've got a hatcher here! Which one is it? It's little Frederica! She's busting through! She did it! Welcome to the world, little croc! Yeah! She's making a baby croc call! And her sisters are calling, too! Baby crocs time their hatching so that they all do it together! Yep! There's Josanna, Crunchina, Chompella, Munchette! Oh, come on, Snapperfur! You're doing great! Even the little soft-shelled turtles are hatching! It's a hatch fest! Uh, yeah, just one problem. It's getting crowded in here! That's because we're buried under a whole bunch of sand! Uh-oh! Help! Oh, no! The baby crocs are all hatching, but now they're trapped in their own nest! I believe I'm saying this, but those baby crocs are kind of cute! But what's that sound they're making? That's it! The baby crocs are calling for their mom! We gotta make more noise! Louder, everybody! Aviva, check it out! Topside! She hears them! Guys, she hears you! I can't believe it! She's coming to the rescue! Maybe I was wrong about her! All right! Nice croaking, gang! Hey, Chompella, don't stop now! Here's Mama! I never thought I'd be so happy to see that face! Uh, on second thought... She's eating her babies?! I told you! Oh, these crocodiles! Just when I was starting to trust them! It's fine! She's not eating them! She's just picking them up! She knows how sharp her teeth are, so she's super careful! Huh? Martin! It's comfy in here, too! Her throat pouch holds 20 of us! She's even taking the baby turtles! That's nice of her! Okay, I think we got a full load! Bus is packed and ready to go! But where are you guys going? To the water! Full croc ahead! I can't believe it! Now I'm totally blown away! Croc moms are... are... We know! They freak you out! No! They're the coolest! What kind of mom is more dedicated? More committed? They're amazing! Okay, first and only stop! The creche! That's a fancy word for the nursery pool! A nice, calm, quiet section of the river. Everybody out! Oh, hey, everybody's looking good! You know, baby crocs are expert swimmers from the minute they're born! And mama's off to get the rest of the kid crocs! We'll keep an eye on these ones for you! See, I told you! A lion dad takes good care of his cubs! Whoa! That's gotta be nature's biggest hairdo! Yeah, it's a magnificent mane! But there are a few animals who have even longer hair on their head! Musk ox and yak are tied for third longest. Horses are second! The longest horse mane was measured at five meters long! You know who, of all animals, has the longest hair on their head? You do! When a human lets her hair keep growing, a human has the longest hair on their head in the creature world! The longest hair on any human was 16 meters long! He who breathes fire. That's what we've got to call him! He who breathes fire. In the local Swahili language, that translates to Ane Pumua Motu. Ane Pumua Motu! Yeah! Wow! Litterfusa Kratorum is fast! Truly the cheetahs of the mantis world! Yeah! And they can stop at a dime! Wow! Check it out! Litterfusa Kratorum has great camouflage too! He blends into the bark and disappears! Now I understand why we never saw them before! But they don't just hide and wait for prey to come to them! They chase it down! Whoa! Adventure has too much big excitement for me! I'm gonna get back to the miniaturizer to get real size! Huh? A tree tarantula! Cool! A turnip-tailed gecko! The life of Litterfusa Kratorum is fast and furious! Well, I think we're gonna discover what fire salamanders eat! He's hunting! Whoa! Salamanders have predatory powers! They have special teeth that hold, but don't chew! Grab and go! That's the salamander hunting style! What's this other guy going after? Let's see! Oh, it's a spider! Whoa! Did you see that? Oh yeah! He ate a spider! Yeah! And did you see how he used his eyes to swallow? Eyes to swallow? A salamander uses his eyeballs to swallow! His eyeballs? Yeah! Watch the eyeballs! Wow! I need to record this! See? Pushing the worm down with his eyeballs! Got it! Let's go to the x-ray instant replay to see if we're right! Nice! The salamander shoots out his tongue, which is sticky, and grabs the worm. Whoa! In half a second! We need an instant replay to even see that! Then he holds the worm with volmarine teeth! Volmarine teeth? You know, those bony teeth on the roof of the mouth! Yeah! Volmarine teeth hold the worm, but no chewing! Then the eye muscles pull the eyes into the head, and the eyeballs push the worm down the salamander's throat! Eye-mazing! You mean amazing! No! Eye-mazing! That is one eye-mazing ability! I get it! With bald eagle powers of keen eyesight and a bird's eye view, I should be able to spot some deer! One deer can have a home range of more than 500 acres of woods, fields, and even human neighborhoods! Which is exactly why Buckaroo showed up a second time! So why did you guys want to plant these dogwood seedlings so badly? It's one of the favorite foods of the whitetail deer! Great for cover, too! We met the cutest little fawn today, so we thought we'd help the deer out a little bit! Cool! Look at how many we planted so far! Chris, Martin, Aviva! We need your help! With a creature rescue! Hey, Audrey, Leo! What's going on? We found an animal in trouble, so we brought him to you! Buckaroo! He was all alone in a field! Um, uh... Okay, you kids are great for wanting to help animals, but sometimes animals may seem like they're in trouble, but they're really not! What do you mean? It's natural for a fawn to be alone in the grass or the woods. It is? It sure is! So the best thing to do is leave the fawn alone, and his mother will come back! Oh no, we made a big mistake! We're sorry, we were only trying to help! We know! And don't worry, together we can fix this! Right, guys? Right! We'll get him back to his mom, and in the meantime, we know exactly how to care for him! We sure do! With special fawn milk to tide him over! Cool! Awesome! I really hope we can get this guy back to his mom! I know! We've got to try! Finding a certain individual deer isn't easy, even though whitetail deer are the most common large mammal in North America! Chris! Down here! Coming down, Jenny! Hey! Chris, we just got Cokie's message! There's a place near here where there's lots of deer! There's so much sumac for the deer to eat! It's that way, over that hill! Thanks, Nolan! I'll check it out! Bye! Good luck! If you're looking for bunnies, why don't you just look out the window? There's one right there! Oh, cute! It's so tiny! A baby bunny! No, it's an adult! A baby rabbit! The smallest rabbit in the world! So what's the difference between a rabbit and a hare? Well, they both come from the same family, Leporidae. Hares are a lot bigger, with longer ears, and like to live alone, while rabbits are really social. I can see that! But there is another big difference. Hares live above ground, while most rabbits live underground in burrows. Hey, what's she doing? Oh, they do live underground! It's her babies! And the babies are even teenier! And cuter! And a mother rabbit leaves her babies safely hidden when she goes out to eat grass. Aw, they're so cute! Then she comes back to feed them! Baby bunnies drink milk for three to four weeks after they're born. They have to learn to run and hop quickly, because a rabbit's defense is running away! And there's a cool creature feature! Oh, you mean the split lip? Oh yeah! What? Rabbits have a split lip? Hares have them too, so the lips can kind of work like little fingers to help bring food to their mouths. Hmm, not too obvious how that power will be used in the bunny power suit. Maybe, but one thing that is obvious? The pygmy rabbit couldn't be the bunny we're looking for. Yeah, they're cute enough, but so tiny! You might find one inside a basket, but they can never carry a basket full of candy, chocolate, and eggs! So, of all the rabbits and hares in North America, which one is the best candidate to be our bunny? Yeah, I know it! You thinking what I'm thinking? I think I'm thinking what you're thinking! Let's head south! Huh? Are you not thinking what I'm thinking? I'm definitely not thinking what you're thinking! To the desert! To the northeastern woodlands! To find the Easter Bunny! The rare and elusive Clouded Leopard! Oh, and her creature power could help us! A Clouded Leopard kitten! Aww! Listen to that! They're purring! Hey! So are Witty's kittens! Oh yeah, that's purring! A contact sound between cats that starts a kittenhood! Lots and lots of cats purr, and others roar! Ooh, like lions, tigers, jaguars, and spotted leopards! Interesting! Roaring cats can't purr! But a Clouded Leopard kitten can! This is awesome! I'm getting information for a new Clouded Leopard power suit! That'll help us rescue those cats and dogs on Zach's plane! I'm putting the Tortuga on autopilot! Keep those observations coming, guys! With base cat programming and new observations, I can turn out a Clouded Leopard power disc! Okay, how about this wow fact? The Clouded Leopard has the largest canine teeth to body size of any cat! Really? Then I'm gonna name this cute kitten Mega Fang! Big paws too! The Clouded Leopard uses its huge paws to climb! Another wow fact? One of the best climbers in the cat family! Clouded Leopards can climb under a branch like a sloth! They can climb down a trunk head first! Can hunt monkeys and birds in trees! There's nothing like being a Clouded Leopard kitten chasing monkeys through the treetops! Aviva, are you getting this? Getting it? Adding it! Mega Fang, there is so much to love about you! You know, if cats swam, maybe I could be a cat person! Just like if there was a dog that climbed, I could be a dog person! Come on, really? That's a swimming cat! So now you have to be a cat person! I'm a cat person! He's having so much fun! Guess we're now the cat brothers! Uh, maybe not. Chris, look up! Hey, you're a dog! What are you doing way up there? Climbing? In a tree? You found a climbing dog! You know what that means! I'm a dog person now! Wild dogs are amazing! You're a raccoon dog! And look at you climb! Long, sharp, curved claws give the raccoon dog the power to climb! Well, like I said, if dogs can climb, I gotta love dogs! I'm swimming with a cat! I'm climbing with a dog! Any creature adventuring plans for the day? No, just chillaxing! Great plan! Hear that? Why does the toilet keep flushing? Hmm, think it's time for a tune-up! We're way overdue! I've got to run diagnostics on all Tortuga functions, including plumbing! Plumbing, navigation, flight systems, hydraulics, cooling, stabilizers, generators, voltage, regulators, control bolts... Oh, and I'm trying to make pizza! Well, you're both at it! I guess I can clean up my invention station! Oh, good luck with that! Did you hear that? Yeah, that was a wolf howl! Well, we're in the range of Little Howler's wolf pack! Martin, should we go check on Little Howler? Great idea, Chris! Which way do you think the wolves are? Why did this raven drop a piece of wood on my head? I don't know, ravens are rascally! She hit me on purpose! Maybe, but she's friendly! I know why! She's trying to tell us where the wolves are! We should follow her! Follow her? Very funny! She doesn't know! Woo! See? She's telling us she knows where the wolves are! No way, that's just a coincidence! I know ravens are incredibly smart, and they can learn to make all kinds of sounds, but... A flushing toilet? It was the raven! She turned cokey! Now she's laughing like us! Whoa, these ravens are amazing! They can mimic more sounds than almost any creature in the creature world! Come on, Chris! This raven will take us to Little Howler's wolf pack! I don't think this raven is actually taking us to the wolves, but I do want to do an adventure with ravens and learn more about them! Wait up! Great idea, Viva! Converting the rocket pod into a hot air balloon! Thanks! This coastline must be another continent, but which one? I'm guessing South America! How do you know? Because there are some burrowing owls living in armadillo holes! But I thought burrowing owls lived in North America! They're in South America too? My favorite daytime owl! It's weird to think of an owl that likes daytime! They're not the only ones! Snowy owls from the Arctic like daytime too! And the northern hawk owl! But the burrowing owls are the best! They're calling us! Oh, I want to go to the owl! Got to go to the owl! We can't! But I have to go! They're calling! Sorry, Chris! You just can't answer the call of the owl today! Bro, help, please! They're burrowing owls! I get it, bro! Not so fast! Miniaturize! Hey! What are you doing? Hey, stop! Hey, hey! Come on! You gotta understand, guys! We just can't stop! We gotta get home! Need some help? Oh, wow! Look! Huh? What? Look at what? Huh? Where'd he go? He's trying to distract us! Let's keep working! Oh, amazing! You barn owls fly so silently, you're impossible to hear! It's like you're not even there! See? Nobody can hear you! So I'm gonna name you... Nobody! It's those owl feathers! With those soft downy edges that muffle the sound! Most birds make sounds when they fly! But you owls fly without a sound! Those special feathers give you the power to sneak up on your prey! To prey, it's like nobody is there! Right, nobody? What's wrong with you? I was attacked! Attacked by who? Nobody! Nobody? Yeah! Yeah, nobody! It's gotta be somebody! No, it's nobody! Then nobody attacked you! Yeah, nobody did it! Okay, was it nobody or somebody? Nobody! Ugh! Nobody is no one! No, it's nobody! There! That's nobody! Where's nobody? Well, I think they're both getting loopy! We gotta get home, and fast! Like all insects, the bumblebee has three main body parts. You've got the head, with the eyes, antenna, and mouth parts. The thorax, that's where you're sitting, Martin. Thorax! A very fuzzy thorax! And the abdomen, where I am! The abdomen's fuzzy, too! I wonder why a bumblebee is so fuzzy! I like how the legs just hang while they fly! What's that? There's something on her back leg! Oh, it's a pollen basket, where a bee collects pollen! I can put all my stuff on there, because it's sticky! And last but not least, my creature pod! Hey, now I have my hands free! That's much better! I can check out the wings! They are so small for a big body! They go up and down! It's amazing! Those wings can fly such a big bee! They go up and down 200 times a second! And those wings bring a bumblebee in for a landing! Hey, see all this powdery stuff? It's sticky! Yeah, it's pollen! Oh, the bee's collecting pollen! And nectar for sugar, lots of pollen! Hey, look! She's adding some pollen into the basket on her leg! Hey, let's help her collect pollen! Uh, Chris? I don't think she likes your stuff being in her basket! No, my creature stuff! No, no, no! Uh, the pollen baskets are for pollen! You can't blame a bee! My creature pod! How are we gonna call the gang? Hey, do you want to ask Aviva to make a bumblebee power suit? But we'll need to get more information! Please tell me you have your creature pod! Remember, pockets! Come in, Tortuga! Bee Rider here! Hello, Tortuga! Hey, Rose! Where are you? Well, we're... What's with this buzzing? The flower is releasing pollen! Buzz pollination! By buzzing her wing muscles in a special way, the bee causes the flower to release more pollen! Oh, and pollen gets everywhere! Sticks to the bee's fuzzy body, too! I can't hear you! I said, we're... Whoa! Oh! Now we can't contact them at all! We have to get our creature pods! Not now, Chris! Bumblebees are busy bees! Don't stay on flowers long! Buzzing wings means she's gonna go! Come on! Don't be left behind! We're buzzing off! Ah! Whoa! Chris? Martin? Can you read me? Oh, this is going to be like finding a single drop of water in this huge ocean! Wow! You really are a beautiful creature! And you eat almost nothing but tiny plankton? Well, maybe a couple crab brothers, too! But why does such a big creature eat such small things? It's the food web, Jimmy! The lower you eat on the food web, the more energy the food item packs! And the whale is able to catch so many of these little creatures in a single mouthful! So the whale just eats lots of them? Two tons of them a day! That's even better than eating a few big fish! But what's not better is eating a few crab brothers! Martin! Chris! Please tell me they're not in there! This is like a thousand whirlpools! Whoa! Hey, guys! Everyone okay? Where are we? Amphisub lights on! Whoa, it's like a dark cavern with giant walls! I'm trapped! I gotta find a way out! Oh, a red island? Gotta check that out! Chris! Martin! I'm in here! Aviva! Wait a second! That's not an island! That's a whale tongue! I'm inside a whale! No! Uh-oh! Water is flowing through the keratin plates called baleen! She's filtering the water! Oh no! The water is rushing through the baleen! But we plankton are too big to fit through the slits! So we get stuck! It's not good, Chris getting stuck in that whale! But now I get it! Baleen works just like my pasta strainer! When I pour in the water and macaroni, the water goes through the holes! But the larger pasta can't fit through the holes and gets filtered out! So I'm a filter feeder too! We're all stuck! There must be millions of plankton here! We're small, but if you're a whale and collect them all in one gulp using a filter, you can get a whole mouthful! Chris! The next step for the whale is to swallow the plankton! Oh no! This last swoosh is gonna pull us in! Deploy grappling hooks! I hope it holds! Yes! It held! Aviva! I'm okay! Great! Where's Chris? There's no tree for me to land on! Chris, you okay? What's hanging out of his mouth? I think it's a pod! It looks so alien! Ugh, like an alien egg case! Did an alien lay eggs in your mouth? Alien pods? What's going on? Hey, look! Those pods are all over the beach! Where are they coming from? The ocean! They're coming from the ocean! The swimming brother is on it! Hey, Martin! We're gonna need to go mini-sized to solve this mystery! Can you miniaturize us? Yeah, sure! Miniaturize! It's beautiful down here! I love the miniature underwater world! Hey, Puffy! Look ahead! Pods! It's clear! And there's something inside! It's something more familiar! It's hatching! A baby shark! It's a cat shark! A baby cat shark! Martin, don't forget to name this baby animal! Yes, yes, okay! Okay, baby cat shark! I'll name you kitten! Kitten! Here's a wow fact! They're called cat sharks because of their cat-shaped eyes! Oh, yes! Great final wow fact, bro! And we solved the mystery of the pods! They're egg cases for baby sharks! The baby sharks hatch out and the egg cases float away and wash up on the beach! So what does Kitten do next? She eats anything that fits in her mouth! Oh, no! Not a baby seahorse! The baby seahorse is camouflaged where Kitten didn't see him! And Kitten the cat shark is off to eat and grow, living an independent shark lifestyle! To the teeny tiny boats! On your marks! Get set! Go! How are we gonna get to the stream now? Uh... Our HQ is down and they're playing! Your race looks fun, but I gotta fix the Tortuga! What if we get in a jam? There'd be no way to help! Thanks, Cokie! On your marks! Get set! Go! Yeah, to the stream! Salamanders, ahoy! I love this kind of streaming! Me too, because I really love swimming salamanders! Actually, I think this is fun! Hoist the mainsail! Uh-oh! This water is... wet! Well, at least I still have a stick boat! A salamander! Hi, little guy! Hey, Chris! I found a salamander! What kind is he? That's a northern two-lined salamander! It has a long body and teeny tiny legs! And it looks like it has racing stripes! Sometimes they... Jimmy, look behind you! It's a salamander eating salamander! A predatory spring salamander! Run! Jimmy, are you there? Hmm... Both of those salamanders have these features. One, moist skin. And two, no claws. This is good info for a salamander power suit! Phew, that was close! But I found two salamanders already! I'm in the lead! Hey, oh no! I dropped my creature pod! How am I gonna get out of here? So heavy! I need an energy break! Me too! Oh, I'm so hungry for this sandwich! Me too! Oh, but I ate mine already! Oh, hey! Sorry, bro, I'm bigger, so... And I'm faster! So... Yum! I'm like the cheetah brother! Using speed to get food! And I'm like the lion brother! Using size and strength to get it! Each cat has its different strengths! That's how they coexist! Different roles in the same habitat! Different niches! Okay, break time over! We better get moving if we're gonna deliver our precious cargo to Cokie! Oh, it's almost like they're getting heavier! Not for me! Glad I just had that sandwich!
