Polar Bear vs Walrus | Creature Battles | Wild Kratts

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:04]Oh, no.

[00:00:06]They think their kids are in danger from each other.

[00:00:09]Woah, it's a rarely seen battle of Arctic titans.

[00:00:14]Forget dancing, babies. A big battle is much better. All right, the polar bear has the advantage here. Moving really well, like she's dancing on ice. But, the walrus is clumsy on land like a giant blubber balloon. With no legs, she's got to drag herself back to her water. Can she make it before the POLAR BEAR? OH!

[00:00:33]WOAH, NOW THE TABLES ARE TURNED. Even though the polar bear's a good swimmer, the walrus is built for underwater. Down here, the walrus is pure fluid swimming power. With the tusks, she's pulling the bear under.

[00:00:53]I'll grab the cubs. I've got THE CUB.

[00:00:56]GOT YOU.

[00:00:57]YEAH.

[00:00:59]Get their mothers. I'll distract them.

[00:01:01]It's all over, Varmitech. Stealing little wild animals, and you think you're the world's greatest mind? More like the world's greatest pain in a bear's behind.

[00:01:09]>> What? No, I found these tender little ones and wanted to return them to their families. I was looking all over for you, too.

[00:01:16]>> What are you talking about? We saw you waving bye-bye with the walrus flipper.

[00:01:20]>> No, no, no, no. It was holding my hand.

[00:01:22]Must have thought I was its mommy.

[00:01:25]Can somebody get frostbite of the brain?

[00:01:28]But, I am so worried now. You've got to find their mothers.

[00:01:32]I'll just go look over there.

[00:01:36]See you.

[00:01:37]Hey, where are the moms?

[00:01:40]Yeah, where are they?

[00:01:45]Those wild rats can have your stinky kittens. You're the bigger prize, and I've got plans for you. But, first, I'm going to trick Chris and Martin and get rid of them forever.

[00:01:56]Chris, I found them.

[00:02:00]Go on to your mom, Phoebe. I'll hang with you later. Back to where you belong, living free and in the wild. We did it. Yeah.

[00:02:21]ROOF!

[00:02:24]>> [laughter] [music] >> HUH? WHAT'S GOING ON?

[00:02:29]YOU'RE SO EASILY FOOLED. I've got the fighting mammies now. I almost feel bad beating you like this. Almost.

[00:02:37]Hey, have an ice time. I lured you into AN ARCTIC STORM.

[00:02:42]>> [laughter] [screaming] >> WHAT? TELL ME THIS IS A JOKE. If it is, I think we're the punchline. Prepare to get sunk.

[00:02:55]An otter. The only predator that can penetrate the beaver's fortress.

[00:03:00]Sometimes they'll sneak into the lodge and take the kits. But Twig and Bernie are in there. A beaver can swim pretty fast, but not fast enough. She'll never get there in time. A fish could do it.

[00:03:11]Great idea.

[00:03:17]Activate.

[00:03:31]>> [music] >> I'll distract that otter until you get there.

[00:03:38]Hey, otter.

[00:03:41]Wouldn't you rather eat a nice tasty fish?

[00:03:48]Uh-oh.

[00:04:00]>> Woo! That worked out great. Uh-oh.

[00:04:13]Chris!

[00:04:14]Woah! I got the otter to chase me, but how do I get IT TO STOP?

[00:04:21]I BET THAT OTTER HAS NEVER seen a giant beaver before.

[00:04:26]Activate.

[00:04:34]Ah, cool.

[00:04:41]Martin, over here.

[00:04:46]What do you think of these choppers?

[00:04:51]Woohoo!

[00:04:54]Thanks, dude. No problem. Nice teamwork, bro. The kids are safe, but that flood is still on its way, and we lost a lot of time. Yeah, we still have to fix that dam.

[00:05:05]We broke it, and we'll fix it. With beaver power. TO THE CREATURE RESCUE!

[00:05:13]HAND OVER THE ARCTIC PEARL, wild rat.

[00:05:16]Forget it. It belongs in the museum. It belongs to Donita. And walruses belong living free in the wild. You stole the Arctic Pearl? I thought you found it.

[00:05:26]Well, my Zach Bots found it in the Arctic Museum. It's a funny story, really. You promised me pearls, Zach. I want pearls now.

[00:05:36]And we need to make like a pearl and roll.

[00:05:40]HEY, GET THAT PEARL. OOPS.

[00:05:43]GET IT!

[00:05:48]I am so not impressed.

[00:05:55]Quick, Martin. With walrus power, we can find the pearl before they do.

[00:06:03]Guys, hang on. Jimmy's sending you the whisker attachment disc. Way to save the day, Aviva.

[00:06:10]Okay, if I were a walrus, I'd use my whiskers to feel in the mud.

[00:06:15]Sifting through with walrus whisker power. Got to find that pearl.

[00:06:22]Zachbot, 10 o'clock, Martin.

[00:06:25]I can't understand you, Chris.

[00:06:27]You've got the Arctic Pearl in your mouth.

[00:06:31]>> [laughter] >> Uh Martin, you said that a little loud, TOO.

[00:06:37]MARTIN, GO LONG.

[00:06:41]GOT IT.

[00:06:46]SWIM, MARTIN.

[00:06:50]Hey Zachbot, is this WHAT YOU WANT?

[00:06:54]GOOD WALRUS MOVE, MARTIN.

[00:06:59]NOT GOOD ENOUGH, CHRIS.

[00:07:02]HELP!

[00:07:08]Over here.

[00:07:11]Hang on, bro. I've got an idea that might work.

[00:07:14]All right, now he's a clam.

[00:07:16]Haven't you eaten enough? Ha! Found one.

[00:07:21]An octopus can't resist a tasty clam.

[00:07:31]Tentacles to the creature rescue.

[00:07:39]Nice. The squirrel got it. Now he hops off.

[00:07:45]Digs a hole, pushes the acorn in, covers it with dirt. Acorn hidden to eat later. Yes, that's squirrel power.

[00:07:56]So, that's not the only acorn in the forest. An oak tree can drop 23,000 acorns in the fall.

[00:08:04]And the blue jay's got one. She flies off.

[00:08:12]Finds some soft soil, pushes the acorn into the ground.

[00:08:18]Blue jays hide acorns.

[00:08:22]Well, squirrels can remember where they hid the nuts and dig them up in the winter.

[00:08:28]Memory. And hey, blue jays are bird brains. Ah, for a blue jay, that's a compliment. Because this bird brain is smarter than a squirrel. A blue jay is so smart, she can remember where she hid her acorns through the winter and into next spring and come back to the exact spot to eat it.

[00:08:49]Hoho, better memory. You couldn't do that. Hmm.

[00:08:55]Get this. Any acorn a squirrel forgets to eat stays safely in the ground. Then, when the snow melts and the sun shines in the spring, those acorns grow into oak trees. That's how the gray squirrel plants the trees that feed it. Well, any acorn a blue jay chooses not to eat stays safely in the ground. Then, when the snow melts and the sun shines in the spring, those uneaten acorns grow into oak trees. That's how the blue jay plants oak forests.

[00:09:26]Blue jay's better.

[00:09:28]Gray squirrel's greater. Blue jay. Gray squirrel. Blue. Gray. BLUE. GRAY.

[00:09:35]HMM.

[00:09:36]AH!

[00:09:43]HA! Check this out. A gray squirrel digs a fake hole to fool acorn predators like deer and wild turkey. Turkeys eat acorns, too? Yeah, look.

[00:09:55]The turkey is tricked. The squirrel buries the acorns safely over there. Ha!

[00:10:00]Now, that's clever.

[00:10:02]And we can bury 300 acorns in a single day. Please.

[00:10:08]Just one acorn at a time?

[00:10:10]Us blue jays, we can stuff one acorn into our expandable throat pouch.

[00:10:17]Then two, three, four in our throat pouch and an extra one in our mouth.

[00:10:23]Then fly off with all five acorns at once.

[00:10:37]This cheetah cub is a good listener. I only had to chirp, "Hide get in the grass." once. Now I just have to tell him to stay there.

[00:10:49]>> [groaning] [snorts] >> Oh, no. He might have taken a hit from the black mamba. We need some black mamba antivenom fast or he might die.

[00:11:04]Black mamba antivenom.

[00:11:09]A shot of this should stop the poison from the black mamba.

[00:11:13]If we can get it to him in time. Hang in there, honey badger.

[00:11:17]Antivenom coming at you. Energize.

[00:11:21]Antivenom, got it.

[00:11:23]Huh.

[00:11:23]Uh-oh.

[00:11:32]I don't get it. What is the lion worried about?

[00:11:38]What? The honey badger's up. He slept off the venom himself. Oh, I heard of that, but never believed it. And now this is one tough creature.

[00:11:52]I know why the cheetah cub has that black and white back, to look like a honey badger in the grass. The honey badger is so tough that most of the time nobody wants to mess with him. So, a hiding [music] cheetah cub looks like a honey badger. Its looks mimics the way a badger looks, so a predator won't mess with him. That's mimicry for cheetah cub survival. Nature is amazing.

[00:12:19]Okay, blur, check this out. I'm injured.

[00:12:22]Oh. Oh, my leg. I can't run fast anymore. I hope a predator doesn't see me.

[00:12:30]Yes, my trick is working. Predators usually target injured or weak prey.

[00:12:35]They're the easiest to catch.

[00:12:37]Ow, I'm so injured.

[00:12:40]Huh?

[00:12:41]Uh-oh, it worked.

[00:12:43]But on a different predator.

[00:12:46]A python's got a hug on me.

[00:12:48]Pythons are constricting snakes. That means they squeeze their prey until they can't breathe anymore.

[00:12:55]This wasn't exactly the plan.

[00:13:00]But I'll take it.

[00:13:03]Could you please press that button for me?

[00:13:07]It's the one.

[00:13:10]Yes, I'm a python.

[00:13:13]Wait a second. No animal eats adult pythons. I'm at the top of the food web.

[00:13:21]NOT SO FAST, CHRIS. We're checking something. What? Yep, it's right here.

[00:13:27]It almost never happens, but big adult pythons are sometimes caught and eaten by a super hungry lion or leopard. You mean kind of like that?

[00:13:38]Woah! You got to be pretty hungry to tangle with a python. Woah! Not this time.

[00:13:45]Catching food can be dangerous business for predators, too.

[00:13:49]Prey defends itself, and getting a meal isn't always easy. So, it's official.

[00:13:53]It's rare, but leopards and lions will tangle with an adult python if they're desperate. Wow! I better slither off and follow that lion. Got to slide.

[00:14:03]GUYS, I LOCKED IN ON CHRIS'S LOCATION.

[00:14:05]SENDING COORDINATES.

[00:14:08]WHEW! I'm on my way, Chris. Uh take your time, bro. I'll just be hanging out in this flower. It's comfy and smells great in here.

[00:14:21]Ah, Beast. This is the life.

[00:14:25]Just flying around from flower to flower, drinking sweet nectar. It's like a vacation. Hmm.

[00:14:32]Woah! Vacation's over. Look out! Crab spider!

[00:14:38]Uh-oh! LOOK OUT FOR THOSE JAWS!

[00:14:47]GO! GO! GO! QUICK! QUICK! GO! YES!

[00:14:51]BEAST, you made it!

[00:14:54]Uh-oh.

[00:14:56]Uh okay, Martin. Now you can hurry.

[00:15:01]I'm here.

[00:15:06]But, which flower are you in? Oh, just the one with the giant yellow spider that wants to eat me!

[00:15:12]Woah! Woah! Woah! I'm not a bee or a bug.

[00:15:15]Yeah!

[00:15:17]And I don't want TO HUG, [screaming] JAMES!

[00:15:21]YEAH!

[00:15:35]>> CHRIS, WHERE ARE YOU? OVER HERE.

[00:15:39]I SEE YOU.

[00:15:46]GOT YOU.

[00:15:48]NO WAY. WHO WAS GOING TO MAKE THAT GRAB?

[00:15:51]HUMMINGBIRD, looks like I'm back to being a poly brain.

[00:16:00]Oh, no.

[00:16:05]Yeah, this is great. Cruising along the ocean on a top predator.

[00:16:10]We've got nothing to worry about. Yeah, smooth sailing, great white shark style.

[00:16:16]Must be kind of nice being a shark. I mean, WHO'S GOING TO MESS with you?

[00:16:24]Oh, okay. Uh, I forgot. There is a creature that will mess with a great white, an orca.

[00:16:33]And he's not done yet. There's more than one.

[00:16:39]No wonder these guys are nicknamed wolves of the sea and can take on a great white.

[00:16:43]They hunt packs.

[00:16:45]Go, Razormouth. Swim for your life. And ours, too. Tightening shark grip.

[00:16:51]I hope she holds.

[00:16:54]Ooh, nice move, Razormouth. A deeper dive. That's a great defense. Great whites can go deeper than orcas can.

[00:17:03]And it worked cuz there they go. That must have been scary for Razormouth.

[00:17:08]Yeah, just when we thought a shark had nothing to worry about.

[00:17:22]>> Aw, how much is he going to have to take?

[00:17:25]This is beyond bad hair day. How's he going to get out of this one?

[00:17:32]Every time the lion breathes out, the snake squeezes tighter. Soon the great lion, he who breathes fire, won't be breathing at all.

[00:17:40]Life is tough out here, even for lions.

[00:17:44]The only way to untangle this situation is with python power.

[00:17:49]ACTIVATE.

[00:17:59]I LOVE SNAKES, BUT THESE ROCK PYTHONS are tough.

[00:18:04]YOU TWO BETTER GET GOING. THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE.

[00:18:13]PHEW, I'm so glad we're in here and they're out there.

[00:18:19]Uh Aviva, is that your master controller? What? No, I have it right Oh, no. Is that the same master controller you used to open the hippo sub?

[00:18:33]I must have dropped it.

[00:18:45]I can't override. He's not getting off the button. OH, NO.

[00:18:50]>> [screaming] >> HEY, THIS ISN'T FAIR. Two against one?

[00:19:01]But there's one easy way to even the sides.

[00:19:12]I'm definitely underdressed for a lion fight.

[00:19:18]ACTIVATE.

[00:19:22]HAVING a bad hair day, bro?

[00:19:24]There's some technique and skill to this lion fighting that I'm not quite getting yet. My turn.

[00:19:31]>> [groaning] >> Don't even say it, dude.

[00:19:41]We've got the lion power, but we need a little more of the lion practice.

[00:19:51]He who breathes fire wins. A Nian Pummeler is king of the Well, protector of the pride anyway.

[00:20:01]Of course, Hawk. They hunt birds. Yeah, and he's after lightning.

[00:20:18]Oh. Maybe there is actually such a thing as turkey powers. They can run fast and fly fast with pretty decent maneuverability through the forest.

[00:20:26]Plus, they're capable of aerial combat.

[00:20:29]THIS COULD GET INTERESTING.

[00:20:33]GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE. THE SECRET TO FINDING turkeys is to speak THEIR LANGUAGE. GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE.

[00:20:41]NO, NOT CA. I SAID GOBBLE GOBBLE.

[00:20:46]WHEN I pretend to be a wild turkey, I can lure in another male turkey to meet the challenge. I'm going for the biggest turkey today.

[00:21:00]Are you done yet? What are you talking about? I just started. I think I can modify parts of the blue jay suit, but I need to add specific turkey features.

[00:21:08]Come back in about 10 minutes. I'm busy.

[00:21:10]Okay.

[00:21:13]>> [laughter] >> I know, Martin. Turkeys gobble, and you can, too.

[00:21:19]I said, come back in 10 minutes, not 10 seconds.

[00:21:24]Hey, it's a Tom Turkey. Uh Tom Turkey? Chris, maybe you should leave the naming to me. No, Tom. That's what a male turkey's called, remember?

[00:21:36]Oh, yeah.

[00:21:37]I thought that's what you were naming him. No, but he is super friendly. And in places where turkeys aren't hunted, they get really used to people. And then, you can get a really good look at him. And this Tom Turkey has some really wild features. Look at that awesome fan of tail feathers. [music] And the bright red and blue colors on his face. The red part is called his snood. Why is his hair growing out of his body? That's a turkey beard. Those are feathers modified into a long ponytail-like feature that hangs from the chest.

[00:22:09]Female turkeys think it looks cool, but they really like that awesome fan of a tail. And that's what all these features are designed for, to attract females. Uh but, he's not the only one who thinks he's good-looking.

[00:22:24]Oh, I get it. It's a competition.

[00:22:29]>> [laughter] >> They wrap necks and push. Which Tom is more powerful? That one! No, that one!

[00:22:40]The hands look like they're just eating corn, but I think they're watching.

[00:22:45]Huh, look out. They're bringing out the leg spurs.

[00:22:50]>> [laughter] >> This match ends in a draw. Someone's trying to break into the mouth.

[00:22:58]Martin, come in. Is Is you up there? Up where? Where are you? I found Aviva and Koki.

[00:23:05]We're all safe INSIDE THE COLONY.

[00:23:08]AH! You call this safe?

[00:23:10]But we're being attacked. Huh?

[00:23:14]Now that's a crazy tongue. Attack of the tongue.

[00:23:19]Chris! Chris, you're breaking up. In a fortress mound, attacked by a tongue.

[00:23:25]Whose tongue? Which termite eater? Hm?

[00:23:30]An aardwolf? No.

[00:23:33]Skinnier than that.

[00:23:34]A BAT-EARED FOX?

[00:23:37]NO, MUCH LONGER THAN THAT.

[00:23:42]A honey badger?

[00:23:44]Longer.

[00:23:46]Stickier. It's the tongue of all tongues. Look. I'll just send you the coordinates.

[00:23:51]Uh-oh.

[00:23:54]Chris! Chris!

[00:23:56]Oh, no. Not good. Okay, let's see. Super long tongue, super sticky, with digging powers that can bust into a termite fortress.

[00:24:05]That can only be one creature. The granddaddy [music] of termite predators, the aardvark.

[00:24:12]Huh!

[00:24:13]Got to find that aardvark.

[00:24:17]Stand back. We're using our jaw and chemical spray defense. He won't like the TASTE OF THIS.

[00:24:26]IT'S SAFETY IN NUMBERS. EVERY termite lives and dies for the safety of the whole colony.

[00:24:31]Yeah, great. But I'm not a termite. I'd rather not get slurped up by A GIANT TONGUE.

[00:24:37]>> [screaming] >> KOKI!

[00:24:46]>> [screaming] >> NICE SAVE, AVIVA. YEAH, THANKS, AVIVA.

[00:24:52]No problem.

[00:24:54]Problem.

[00:24:55]The tongue shrinks again.

[00:24:59]>> [screaming] >> Jaw defense.

[00:25:02]Well, it was nice knowing you guys.

[00:25:05]I never thought I'd end up food of a termite eater.

[00:25:09]Chemical defense, take that.

[00:25:11]Jaw defense.

[00:25:13]Chemical defense.

[00:25:14]Jaw defense.

[00:25:16]Goodbye, KOKI.

[00:25:18]GOODBYE, AVIVA.

[00:25:23]HUH?

[00:25:25]MARTIN.

[00:25:26]How's that for A CREATURE RESCUE? OW.

[00:25:30]EASY ON THE TERMITE DEFENSE, BRO.

[00:25:33]YUCK.

[00:25:35]OH, sorry about that, bro. I sure am glad it was you this time. I got here just in time. Our friends, Slurpy and Slurpy's mom, were in the middle of lunch.

[00:25:45]They're the ones that found you first with those amazing termite-finding ears, that termite-sniffing nose, those termite-digging claws.

[00:25:57]By the way, jet us off. I'm ready to be human-sized again.

[00:26:24]She's attacking a caiman.

[00:26:28]I don't see them anymore. Does the jaguar always win? Most of the time, but you never know.

[00:26:34]>> [gasps] >> There.

[00:26:39]Oh, now that was a never-seen moment. I think that happens every day somewhere down here. Yeah, but I never saw it. Me, neither. You rarely see the jaguar hunt, even though they hunt just about everything [music and singing] in the forest. Spider monkeys, tapirs, peccaries, anteaters, sloths, armadillos. They'll sneak up on just about every creature they can catch. Hey guys, she's sneaking away from us.

[00:27:18]Woah! What's up, Avalanche?

[00:27:21]THAT'S WHAT'S UP.

[00:27:23]GOSHAWK.

[00:27:25]GO, AVALANCHE, GO!

[00:27:28]THOSE ARE SOME POWERFUL LEGS.

[00:27:31]Zero to 56 km/h in just a few seconds, and they still stay on top of the snow without sinking in. IT'S LIKE A BUCKING bronco ride. A hippity hop and a hair ride. Woohoo!

[00:27:44]LOOK OUT! WOAH! NICE SAVE, AVALANCHE.

[00:27:48]GOSHAWKS, hawks in general, they're one of the snowshoe hares' worst nightmares.

[00:27:53]Uh not exactly a sweet dream for a mini crab brother, EITHER. WOAH!

[00:27:58]>> [screaming] >> GOT YOU.

[00:28:07]>> [music] >> GO GO GO GO! HE'S GAINING, he's gaining.

[00:28:17]Yes, we're heading to the SAFETY ZONE.

[00:28:19]HANG ON, CHRIS.

[00:28:31]WELL, LOOKS like we're getting a turtle back tour of the reef. Hey, there's Blimpy the Blowfish.

[00:28:38]Oh, yeah.

[00:28:40]And our old buddy Ocean Pony the Seahorse.

[00:28:46]And hey, there's Uh I don't remember him. Yeah, that's because he's somebody new.

[00:28:52]A tiger shark. Woah!

[00:29:01]Hold on tight, Chris.

[00:29:03]>> I'm holding. I'm holding.

[00:29:09]Chris! Woah!

[00:29:15]The tiger shark is gaining. Woah!

[00:29:21]Woah! Our sea turtle is using HIS SHELL LIKE A SHIELD.

[00:29:26]And that's what I'm going to name you, Shield.

[00:29:36]But how long can Shield keep this up?

[00:29:39]Look at these teeth. Based on size, tiger shark jaws are even stronger than the great white shark's jaws.

[00:29:45]That shark gets the shell in his mouth, or a flipper in his mouth, Shield is done for.

[00:29:54]Shield has another plan. I hope so.

[00:30:08]Woah! That was close.

[00:30:11]And another great defense for the hawksbill sea turtle. Hiding in the reef. Yeah, and that's why hawksbills are reef turtles. So, they can use the coral reef structure to feed them and hide them.

[00:30:24]Yeah, the shield defense is great when a hawksbill is caught out in the open, but the surefire plan is to hide out in the protection of the reef.

[00:30:33]This isn't working at all.

[00:30:35]>> [snorts] [laughter] >> Cactus juice does not get rid of skunk stink.

[00:30:41]Just the sand won't scrape it off either. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. We got to find something to take away this stink.

[00:30:48]Skunk stink can last for months on an animal that gets sprayed. I won't last that long.

[00:30:55]Hey, let's take the Buzzbikes and keep searching. There's got to be an antidote somewhere.

[00:31:01]A rattlesnake.

[00:31:04]Easy, buddy.

[00:31:09]Hey, a rattlesnake doesn't really want to strike. That's why he gives that rattle warning. Well, I don't want to stick around to find out.

[00:31:16]Hey, it's P.U.

[00:31:19]Remember me, buddy? Uh, I think he's too busy to chat.

[00:31:33]Woah, spotted skunks not only have a good defense, they have a good offense, too. These skunks will sometimes kill and eat snakes. And scientists think they may even be immune to rattlesnake venom. He's not only cute, but tough, too. Cute, tough, and stinky. What a combo. That little guy's been helping us all day. Thank you very much, Mr. P.U.

[00:31:56]Skunk.

[00:31:57]We've got to find Slider's family pack and fast. They're the only ones who can teach him everything he needs to know in his cypress swamp home.

[00:32:04]Well, the only way to move fast through this swamp is with otter powers. Hey, Aviva, any luck with the otter power suits? Perfect timing. Hot off the programming press. Send them, Jimmy.

[00:32:16]Got you. Teleport. Oops, forgot to turn it on.

[00:32:21]Sorry, bros. It'll just take me a minute to power up. No problem, Jimmy. We've got time. Slider just found a new slide.

[00:32:30]>> [laughter] >> Actually, hurry up, Jimmy. If we had otter powers right now, we could slide like an otter with Slider. Hey, is it just me or is that kind of bumpy for a mudslide? Uh yeah.

[00:32:43]And that mudslide HAS EYES.

[00:32:46]>> [groaning] >> AN ALLIGATOR.

[00:32:54]UH JIMMY, now would be a good time to send those otter power discs.

[00:32:58]ZAP IT.

[00:33:02]ACTIVATE OTTER POWERS.

[00:33:12]LET'S SHOW THIS GATOR SOME OTTER PACK DEFENSE.

[00:33:19]HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN ALLIGATOR BEFORE EITHER, BUDDY? I mean, you've got to look out for these big reptiles. They're predators. Yeah, if they surprise you, they can catch you. Once you know an alligator's around, your awesome swimming powers can easily keep you away from those jaws.

[00:33:36]And once he's lost the element of surprise, the alligator gives up. He knows he can't get you.

[00:33:41]Slider is totally clueless about how to survive in the swamp.

[00:33:46]It's like he's not even from these parts. I know, but he must be. How else would he have gotten here? Come on, his family must be around here someplace.

[00:33:53]Let's find them.

[00:33:59]Come on, Slider. Let's try this way.

[00:34:09]What's up, Slider?

[00:34:14]Oh, I get it. You're hungry again. Hey, bro. It looks like he wants to catch a bigger fish.

[00:34:29]And it looks like think needs our help.

[00:34:31]Well, now that we have otter powers, we can catch some bigger fish for him.

[00:34:38]Okay, here's how you do it. We'll work as a team.

[00:34:43]See that bluegill over there?

[00:34:45]I'll swim in front of the fish so he's looking at me, and then you rush up behind him and catch him. Got it?

[00:34:53]Uh no, no, Slider, stay there.

[00:34:56]Uh Chris, a little help?

[00:34:59]Hold on there, Slider. Wait till Martin's in position.

[00:35:04]Hey, look at me.

[00:35:09]Okay, go get your fish.

[00:35:16]Somebody grabbed YOUR FISH.

[00:35:19]AN OSPREY.

[00:35:22]WOW, now that's an amazing fish-catching hawk.

[00:35:28]Hey, Martin.

[00:35:29]Ready to go dragonfly? Oh, yeah. Okay, let's see. Where is it? Oh, where is it?

[00:35:35]Good thing I made a dragonfly power disc when you guys [music] were teaching those baby crocodiles how to hunt.

[00:35:42]I'm ready, Chris. Let's do this, swamp dragon. Incoming dragon.

[00:35:48]ACTIVATE DRAGONFLY POWER.

[00:35:56]TO THE TORTUGA RESCUE. HURRY, GUYS.

[00:36:02]I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE GETTING chased by mosquitoes.

[00:36:08]It's all right, Jimmy. We're okay, as long as they don't get in.

[00:36:16]Nice grab, swamp dragon.

[00:36:22]I'm sorry, buddy. That's got to be the worst mosquito know, ever tasted. Okay, I'm ready to try.

[00:36:34]Got it. Way to go, bro.

[00:36:37]On your left. [music] Got you.

[00:36:41]Oh, no, you don't.

[00:36:47]Uh-oh.

[00:36:50]There's a security breach.

[00:36:52]Huh?

[00:36:53]Uh-oh.

[00:36:57]Oh.

[00:36:58]YOU LITTLE INFORMATION SUCKER.

[00:37:01]GUYS, YOU GOT TO HURRY. THEY'RE GETTING INSIDE. YOU'VE GOT TO STOP THEM. We're trying, Koki, but there ARE SO MANY.

[00:37:08]GUYS, LOOK OUT.

[00:37:14]>> [laughter] >> YOU CAN JUST GIVE UP RIGHT NOW, wild rats. My swarm of mosquito BOTS IS UNSTOPPABLE.

[00:37:22]>> [laughter] >> YOUR TORTUGA can't hide from them. I programmed them to sense hot air coming from THE SHIP ENGINES.

[00:37:32]UH MARTIN, AREN'T HIS SHIP'S engines way hotter than ours? And smoke way easier to detect. Well, I don't think Zach thought of that. Look.

[00:37:44]They're changing course. Looks like your mosquito bots like your SHIP BETTER, ZACH.

[00:37:51]LET'S GET OUT OF HERE. THE SWARM IS COMING. NO, STOP. STOP. I'M YOUR DADDY.

[00:37:57]LEAVE MY COMPUTERS ALONE. NO, STOP.

[00:38:01]HUH. ALL CLEAR. THE SWARM IS GONE.

[00:38:05]WAIT.

[00:38:07]NOW THE SWARM IS GONE. I DISLIKE mosquito bots even more than real mosquitoes. Woo, we did it. Back to the swamp. Hey, wait for me.

[00:38:18]I can hardly get into mine anymore. It's so small. Ugh. Uh yeah, but we've got another problem, bro. How are we going to change shells [music] with all these predators around? All of them would gobble up any hermit crab they found out of his shell.

[00:38:36]You're right. I don't think we can leave these shells until we find new ones.

[00:38:45]CHRIS!

[00:38:49]UGH, I'M DEFINITELY NOT GETTING OUT OF THIS SHELL until I find a new one.

[00:38:54]Ugh.

[00:38:58]Woah, good thing hermit crab shell armor works.

[00:39:03]There's one. It's a little bit bigger and looks perfect for me. I'll take this and then you can have mine and Uh-oh, the hermit crab inside looks bigger, too. Woah, easy, bruiser. I didn't know you were in there.

[00:39:17]Hey, Chris, check it out. [music] Hermit crabs use their claws to battle over territory.

[00:39:24]Nice move. Let me try.

[00:39:28]Hey, come on, Martin. Quit fooling around. My shell's so tight I'M FEELING THE SQUEEZE.

[00:39:35]UH OKAY, you win.

[00:39:43]What in the creature world?

[00:39:48]>> [crying] [screaming] >> Woah.

[00:39:52]Woah, what giant reptilians. Croc with around 68 teeth in his mouth. Gator jaws hold 80 teeth. Crocs and gators do meet each other where their natural habitats overlap and sometimes they face off.

[00:40:07]Usually the size of the croc or gator determines which one backs down and which one wins. Crocs grow to 6 m, but these two are pretty evenly matched.

[00:40:17]Maybe this gator is even a little bigger.

[00:40:23]I don't want to fall into that croc and gator fight. Jimmy's tower isn't [music] going to last long with those bruisers going at it. Okay, what do we know about croc and gator behavior that could break up this fight?

[00:40:39]Huh? What?

[00:40:40]What? Me?

[00:40:42]Maybe we already have the answer. Both crocs and gators are cannibals, meaning they like to eat their own kind who are smaller than them. We're in croc and gator suits and we're smaller than them.

[00:40:55]Okay, now I get it. That's why they're looking at us like that. And if we get even smaller, I bet they'll really come after us. Are you thinking what I'm thinking, bro? Uh-huh.

[00:41:05]The miniaturizer!

[00:41:07]HERE YOU GO, GUYS.

[00:41:12]OKAY, SO NOW LET'S GET OUT there and look delicious.

[00:41:17]How do you look delicious to a cannibal?

[00:41:19]I don't know, but let's try walking around real gatorish. And crockish.

[00:41:33]You know, sometimes our plans sound great at first and then I'm NOT SO SURE.

[00:41:40]>> [screaming] >> YIKES.

[00:41:54]DEACTIVATE.

[00:42:00]DEACTIVATE.

[00:42:08]PHEW, THAT WAS CLOSE.

[00:42:12]UH-OH.

[00:42:22]HEY, where's everybody going?

[00:42:25]Well, I guess when you're a predator, you don't make a lot of friends.

[00:42:28]Everybody runs, flees, hides, flies.

[00:42:32]Uh-oh.

[00:42:35]Or just stands tough and strong.

[00:42:39]Uh look, I I'm just passing through. You see, it's a race. I don't want to cause a stampede or anything. Oh, hey Martin. Excuse me, just in a little rush. Have a great day. See you, wolf paw.

[00:42:53]Okay, I'll go around.

[00:42:58]Yeah, it won't be long before that trophy is ours. You mean ours? They're coming.

[00:43:05]Where? There.

[00:43:11]GO, AVIVA. GO, MARTIN.

[00:43:15]GOT TO keep pushing.

[00:43:21]Okay, so a wild dog has great stamina, but we can't run forever.

[00:43:27]I'm burning up.

[00:43:29]Oh, this is going to be close. Do you have the camera ready, Jimmy?

[00:43:34]Check.

[00:43:36]Here they come.

[00:43:38]You've got them, Aviva. Go, go, go.

[00:43:41]Go, Martin, go. Come on.

[00:43:43]Keep running, keep running, Martin. Come on, you can do it. Go, Aviva, go. Go.

[00:43:53]>> [groaning] >> Jimmy, who won?

[00:44:01]It's team fast feet by a tip of the horn.

[00:44:05]AW, SO CLOSE.

[00:44:09]WOOHOO! WHAT a race! Way to go, Aviva.

[00:44:12]Congratulations, guys. You earned it.

[00:44:17]Great race. You won fair and square.

[00:44:20]Pacer! You're already here. You beat everybody. Guys, according to the numbers [music] from the race and results I've been getting from scientists studying animal speed, the best all around runner is the pronghorn antelope.

[00:44:35]When it comes to running, there's really nobody better than a pronghorn antelope, the second fastest [music] animal in the world in a sprint. With loads of stamina, too. Yeah, the pronghorn is probably the quickest long-distance runner in the world. And the secret to the stamina part is here, special heat exchangers in the nose that cool the blood so he doesn't overheat.

[00:44:59]Pronghorn antelope, the real all around running world champs. This is yours, PACER. YAY!

[00:45:12]AW, I'VE BEEN HANGING WITH this prairie rattlesnake for about 2 hours now. I mean, how hard can it be to find a prairie rattlesnake? You just look for a big sunning rock and boom, there's a rattlesnake. Where is everybody?

[00:45:29]What's that? Oh, it has markings like a rattlesnake but not a block yet.

[00:45:36]Uh-oh, it's a prairie kingsnake, immune to rattlesnake venom and a predator of rattlesnakes.

[00:45:53]Wow! Look at all those little ground squirrels.

[00:45:57]You're right, Aviva. They are a kind of ground squirrel. Popular name, prairie dog, one of the largest ground squirrels in North America. A prairie dog town can be huge. The biggest one ever was 65,000 square kilometers wide and home [music] to 400 million prairie dogs. That's a lot of meals for a coyote. Hey, where is our coyote? I don't know. He was here just a minute ago.

[00:46:23]Do you hear that?

[00:46:26]That's the jump yip, a prairie dog's warning call. So, that means There. Wait, that's not a coyote. That's a Koki.

[00:46:39]Yip. What's he doing? A jump yip, but I have no idea why. All the prairie dogs are wondering, too.

[00:46:50]There's Tracker.

[00:46:51]See how smart coyotes are? He's using Koki as a decoy. While all the prairie dogs are distracted by Koki, our coyote is [music] sneaking up on lunch.

[00:47:14]Koki, what were you doing?

[00:47:16]Koki.

[00:47:18]I was in some kind of prairie dog trance. It was like those sounds The jump yips? Yeah, were contagious. I couldn't stop jump yipping.

[00:47:27]Uh.

[00:47:29]Let's get out of here before they start jump yipping again. Huh?

[00:47:36]What were you doing wandering around in prairie dog town anyway? Well, Chris said meet me at the prairie dogs, didn't he? They're the most common animal.

[00:47:43]That's why you're here, right? Well, actually, I started at the prairie chicken. And I was chasing a prairie falcon around at first. Until we joined up with this prairie wolf. AKA coyote, whose name is now Tracker, and he led us here to you. We think the prairie wolf will lead us to everybody, no matter what animal they thought Chris said to meet up at. Sounds good to me. Let's keep following your prairie wolf. AKA coyote.

[00:48:11]Now, this is a rarely seen before moment. A face-off between a venomous prairie rattlesnake and a predatory prairie kingsnake. Most animals would heed the rattlesnake's warning because they won't want to receive a venomous bite.

[00:48:25]Oh, rattlesnake venom doesn't even affect him. Making the kingsnake [music] a deadly predator of the rattlesnake.

[00:48:34]Like he does with all his prey, the kingsnake swallows the rattlesnake whole.

[00:48:41]>> [snorts] >> Woah! Jimmy was right. This is weird.

[00:48:50]Who did that? Hung all those insects up like that? I don't know, but we've got another creature mystery on our hands, bro. A weasel? Got to be some kind of predator. Only one way to find out.

[00:49:03]A stakeout.

[00:49:05]We'll get mini-sized, [music] so whoever it is won't even see us spying on them.

[00:49:14]Miniaturize!

[00:49:18]All right, the mystery of the prairie thorn bush has begun. Woohoo!

[00:49:31]Okay, all is quiet right now.

[00:49:35]Hmm.

[00:49:40]Just a cute little gray birdie at the top of that bush.

[00:49:44]Ooh, check it out.

[00:49:46]A prairie kingsnake basking down below.

[00:49:50]HUH?

[00:49:53]WOAH! HE GOT THE SNAKE.

[00:49:56]>> [music] >> WHAT?

[00:50:01]THAT LITTLE SONGBIRD THINKS HE'S an eagle or something.

[00:50:04]I know. He just has little stick legs, not talons. And he's tiny. WHO IS THAT GUY?

[00:50:11]>> [screaming] [groaning] >> OH NO, IT'S ANOTHER ONE.

[00:50:17]HEY!

[00:50:18]WAIT! NO!

[00:50:28]That one's taking Martin clear across the prairie. HELP!

[00:50:33]WHAT IS WITH THESE little gray birds?

[00:50:38]Oh, you again. With a snake.

[00:50:41]I don't believe it. It's him. That's the guy who's been thorning things. The little masked gray songbird. [music] Mystery solved.

[00:50:51]Uh-oh. Martin, those gray songbirds, they're the ones doing the thorning.

[00:50:56]What?

[00:50:59]Uh you're not going to Uh Chris, I've been thorned. Look, I don't know why they're doing this, but I've almost got an idea on these birds.

[00:51:16]It's a loggerhead shrike.

[00:51:19]Koki, steer the Amph sub closer so I can activate Croc powers.

[00:51:27]Oh, missed him.

[00:51:29]Faster, Koki. He's heading out to sea.

[00:51:31]He must be after something. On it.

[00:51:38]What? This Croc is attacking a tiger shark. Go, Koki, go. This is a never-before-seen moment.

[00:51:46]Crocodile versus tiger shark. I can't believe it. Incredible. The crocodile is going right at the shark. And the SHARK'S NOT BACKING DOWN.

[00:51:56]WOAH, crocodiles are aggressive. Get us closer, Koki. I can almost touch him.

[00:52:02]Ah.

[00:52:03]Woah.

[00:52:05]Woah, he made one of the most aggressive sharks in the world back down. The crocodile is so much more aggressive than an alligator. Because it lives in a bigger, tougher environment.

[00:52:17]A point for team croc. The crocagator contest is tied, two-two.

[00:52:23]Woohoo.

[00:52:24]Yeah.

[00:52:25]>> [groaning and screaming] >> Well, that's lemurific timing.

[00:52:35]ACTIVATE LEMUR POWERS.

[00:52:44]WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE invading monkeys, buddy.

[00:52:48]Lemurs have all the abilities to compete with monkeys. They just have to be more aggressive.

[00:52:58]Hey, hold on.

[00:53:05]I'm going to catch you.

[00:53:09]HAHA, GOT YOU.

[00:53:14]YES, YOU GOT ONE, WILD KRATTS.

[00:53:22]HEY.

[00:53:24]You're something?

[00:53:26]She does. Woah, look at those sharp teeth go. No wonder they always keep growing if you're chewing on trees like that. The only primate with ever-growing teeth, right there, the aye-aye.

[00:53:39]Woah, she's really digging for her treasure now. What will she find in there?

[00:53:45]She's going to use that cool finger. I can't believe it.

[00:53:49]That finger is super bendable with ball and socket joints that can go in any direction.

[00:53:55]She found a huge beetle larvae.

[00:53:57]>> [laughter] >> Nothing like a big old tasty grub for an aye-aye. They'll eat ramie nuts, nectar, and fungi, too. But digging out grubs is the aye-aye's specialty.

[00:54:17]A fossa.

[00:54:19]The ultimate lemur hunter.

[00:54:21]Wow.

[00:54:22]Hey, I bet fossa powers can catch monkeys, too.

[00:54:28]ACTIVATE FOSSA POWERS.

[00:54:37]LET'S GET THEM.

[00:54:51]ALL RIGHT, SPIDER MONKEY. Consider that your last brachiation through the forests of Madagascar.

[00:55:02]Yeah, got you. Thanks for the help, fossa, my friend. [music] We're just finding Huh?

[00:55:13]Huh?

[00:55:14]You're not a clue.

[00:55:16]Oh, no. Ring-tailed mongoose. Run!

[00:55:19]He'll eat us!

[00:55:26]You wouldn't eat us, would you?

[00:55:29]SQUIRREL.

[00:55:33]>> [screaming] >> NO, NO, NO, MAMA. NOT A TIME TO PICK A FIGHT. Not with him.

[00:55:40]>> [screaming] [crying] >> Woah, a rarely seen wildlife moment.

[00:55:48]This ring-tailed mongoose is not backing down. He's looking for a way around those spines, but the tenrec's not backing down either. And she points her spine defense right at him.

[00:55:58]Woah, even charging and trying to ram the mongoose with the sharp spines around her head.

[00:56:06]Ooh, she got him.

[00:56:08]These tenrecs are quicker than they look.

[00:56:11]He's giving up. Nice defense, Mama T.

[00:56:14]Hey guys, it's safe to come out. The mongoose is gone.

[00:56:18]Guys? Hello?

[00:56:21]Where'd everybody go?

[00:56:24]That's right. Put them all right in there until I have the robotics ready.

[00:56:34]Hey, let me SEE THAT ONE.

[00:56:37]OW, THAT'S ONE OF THE FUNNIER LOOKING PANDAS OF the bunch.

[00:56:42]Surprise.

[00:56:43]What? Little boy. Come on, Zach. Give me a panda bear hug.

[00:56:48]No, but my new panda bot stuffed toys will be irresistibly huggable. Zach, you got to stop this. No kid wants a robotisized [music] live panda. They just want panda stuffed toys. Ooh, look at that one.

[00:57:05]Hey, that's Aviva's panda stuffed toy.

[00:57:08]No, I found it. Besides, you're just jealous because mine is going to be way better than that. Put panda boy away now.

[00:57:19]Not so fast. Pandas can be pretty tough when they need to be, you know.

[00:57:29]>> [gasps] >> This is tiring.

[00:57:32]And I'm hungry again. Aw.

[00:57:39]Now I really get that we pandas [music] have to keep eating to keep our energy up.

[00:57:44]>> [laughter] >> Now, you just stay there like a nice panda while I manufacture cute.

[00:57:52]>> [laughter] >> Manufacture cute?

[00:57:58]Yeah!

[00:58:02]Wow, Litter Goosacratorum is fast.

[00:58:06]Truly the cheetahs of the Mances world.

[00:58:09]Yeah.

[00:58:12]And they can stop on a dime. Uh-huh.

[00:58:16]Wow, check it out. Litter Goosacratorum has great camouflage, too. He blends into the bark and disappears.

[00:58:25]Now I understand why we never saw them before. But they don't just hide and wait for prey to come to them.

[00:58:36]They chase IT DOWN.

[00:58:38]WOAH!

[00:58:43]HOW'S IT GOING, BROS? GREAT.

[00:58:49]UH-OH.

[00:58:52]AH!

[00:58:52]>> [screaming] >> THIS MINI ADVENTURE HAS TOO MUCH OF big excitement for me. I'm going to get back to the miniaturizer to get real sized.

[00:59:03]Woah!

[00:59:04]WATCH OUT FOR THE BIRD, BROS. HUH?

[00:59:09]AH!

[00:59:14]WOAH! A TREE TARANTULA.

[00:59:19]COOL. A turnip tail gecko. WOAH!

[00:59:23]WOOHOO! THE LIFE OF LITTER Goosacratorum is fast and furious.

[00:59:30]Hey, [music] this owl sees something.

[00:59:32]Let me see. Snowy owls have amazing powers of sight. [music] A snowy owl can see movement from a kilometer away.

[00:59:39]Incoming, ANOTHER SNOWY OWL.

[00:59:50]WOAH, THE OLD OWL DOESN'T LIKE THE NEW owl being here.

[00:59:58]Look, he's chasing him away.

[01:00:01]He drove him off. They're very territorial.

[01:00:04]Chris, that may be another clue to our mystery.

[01:00:12]It is unbelievable how many snowy owls are down south. And there's soon to be one more.

[01:00:19]Ready to become part of the snowy owl invasion, Martin?

[01:00:23]Uh, yeah.

[01:00:24]Activate snowy OWL POWERS.

[01:00:42]WOW.

[01:00:43]WOAH.

[01:00:45]This suit is comfy.

[01:00:47]Huh?

[01:00:49]Soft and warm.

[01:00:51]Like a fuzzy, feathery comforter.

[01:00:54]>> [laughter] >> Come on, guys. Look at his face. This is one serious creature.

[01:01:00]No more hugs.

[01:01:05]And he is hunting for survival.

[01:01:12]Hmm, so what's he looking for? Aha, a snowshoe hare.

[01:01:22]Woah.

[01:01:23]He got away this time.

[01:01:26]Yeah, but look at what else snowy owls are catching.

[01:01:30]Canada geese and small alligators.

[01:01:34]It's amazing. The snowy owl is such a strong predator. She can catch big prey of all shapes and sizes. But oddly, she mostly likes to hunt smaller rodents.

[01:01:46]A snowy owl can catch 1,600 [music] small rodents a year.
