Mudskippers are unique amphibious fish that have evolved specialized adaptations for life both in water and on land, including enhanced vision that allows them to see better out of water than underwater, burrow-digging abilities for predator protection, and the ability to walk on land using their pectoral fins. These adaptations enable them to survive in intertidal zones where they can access both aquatic and terrestrial environments, making them one of the few fish species capable of living on land.

Mudskipper Powers | Wild Kratts | Scholastic InternationalAdded:
Touch mudskipper and activate MUDSKIPPER POWER.
YES, MUDSKIPPER POWER.
WHOA, it's blurry down here.
Much better. A fish that sees better out of water than underwater.
I have such sharp vision now. I can even see a dog-faced water snake.
OUT OF HERE.
SURFACE SWIMMING LIKE A MUDSKIPPER.
HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
AHA, the burrows are protection from predators.
Hey, oh, occupied. Sorry. How about this one?
Hey!
>> [screaming] >> Occupied. Sorry.
Got to find an empty burrow.
Hi.
I think I know [music] how you feel. A fish out of water.
Mudskippers are different than the rest.
I feel that way sometimes, too.
So, I think I'll join you.
Miniaturize.
Wow, the mud is squishier than I thought.
Now we're even more alike.
Hey, whoa.
Ow, ow. Let go.
Thanks. Wow, that's what you eat?
Crabs? So, you skip around the beaches eating crabs. That's part of your notch.
Uh, I mean, wait, notch or niche? That's it, niche.
You come ashore and eat crabs.
I made my own scientific discovery.
SWIM, MARTIN, SWIM.
WHOA.
WHOA, HE'S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT. Water snake, water snake. Uh-oh.
Snake, snake, WATER SNAKE, SNAKE.
MARTIN, you're doing it. You're a walking fish.
Where's the water snake? Bro, it's gone.
A heron got it.
That was close. Steady, steady.
And we're down.
Yeah, let's get out there.
Wait.
Checking seals on spacesuits. Yeah, air canisters full. Need these suits to survive out there.
Oh, yeah. Let's do this.
Race you.
We're on the moon.
Pushing creature adventuring TO THE LIMITS.
IT'S SO LIGHT AND LOW gravity here.
Yeah, but also pretty bare, dusty, with almost no atmosphere or water. No obvious life.
Nothing.
Don't forget little creatures. They can be extreme survivalists. Right, tardigrade?
I'm getting absolutely no life readings at all.
You sure there's no water up here anywhere?
Wait, there is water.
But it's under the surface.
That's worth checking out. I'll grab the rock drill from the ship.
What?
No, the ship.
It's floating into orbit. What?
Didn't you turn off the boosters? No, I thought you did. Well, I thought you did.
Catch it.
Get the ship. I'll give you a boost up, bro.
God, no.
Oh, no. We're stranded.
We can't survive in space.
We're doomed.
Oh, no. This is bad. Badder than bad.
They'll run out of air. Those suits can only protect them from outer space for a short time. If there's a creature power that just might be able to save them, it's tardigrade power. How? We know they can survive extremes here on Earth, but outer space? That's a whole other thing.
We got to try.
Whoa, lots of radiation up there. It destroys living cells. That means it's game over, man. Game over. It looks like a key to their extreme survival powers might be an ability to repair cells, deal with poisons, radiation. Yeah, but scientists don't fully understand how they do it. We'll rely on the genetic code. Tardigrades are our only hope. We need you, little gummy bear. You and your awesome powers.
Well, bro, I guess this is our final creature adventure.
I guess that's it for the blue and the green.
But not that blue and green. Air, water, and energy, Earth has it all.
And a whole bunch of incredible, precious creatures. I'm going to miss them.
Yeah, the best in the galaxy.
Uh, Jimmy, can you pass me those ribbits? What are you working on, anyway? Oh, it's a Oh, no. WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM. WHAT? THAT.
GUYS, BEHIND YOU. Look who's back.
Oh, these monitor lizards don't only like eggs, they think baby crocs are pretty tasty, too. You've got to fill in for Crocodilla. Be a mother croc and get those meanies. Aviva, I thought you thought crocs were the meanies. Are you kidding me? She's just protecting her babies. Crocs are great. Now help them, quick. We can't fill in for a mama croc.
We don't have a crocodile disc for our creature power suits.
Unless this'll work. Aviva made a disc with gharial croc power when we were adventuring in Asia, remember? Since they're both crocodilians, it just might work.
ACTIVATE CREATURE POWER SUITS.
COME ON, come on.
Yes, it worked. Sorry, a couple more mama crocs just showed up.
TO THE BABY CROCODILE RESCUE.
Back off, marabou stork.
These croc kids are under our watch.
Easy, honey badger. No baby crocs for lunch today.
Whoo, nice croc action, bro. You, too.
But I hope Crocodilla gets back soon.
There's a lot of predators out here.
Okay, better do a quick head count.
Let's see, Crunchina, Chompella, Manchet, Snap-a-fer, Oh, hang on there, Josanna.
Wait, where's Frederica?
Oh, there you are. Well, everybody's safe and accounted for. Uh-oh.
The transformation's not holding up.
Chris, here comes Crocodilla with the last load of baby crocs.
Uh-oh. What's Crocodilla going to think if she finds a couple of wild krats with her babies?
Whoa, I'm pretty sure she's not happy to see us.
Reactivate creature power suits.
Uh, it's just a misunderstanding. We were protecting them while you were getting the others.
Yikes.
A hippo sub.
Aviva.
Get in, guys, quick.
You're the best, Crocodilla. After all, Nile crocs just might be the greatest moms in the world. Chris was carried away by a red fox. Sounds like the perfect situation to test my latest [music] invention.
Introducing the smell tracker 1000.
Sounds cool. What does it do? It can [music] see smells. Huh?
See smells? Yeah, check it out. Can you smell this sock? Oh, who can't?
Now, if I turn on the smell tracker 1000, you can see the sock, but you can also see the smell rising from the sock. Those are tiny molecules of smell [music] rising into the air.
They float around in the air, and when they go up someone's nose, the nose senses them as a smell.
Time to get that smell out of here.
Look, even after the smelly thing is gone, there are still some smell molecules around. That's key.
>> [snorts] >> Yeah, but so few. I can't really smell it anymore.
But he can.
It's a dog. Hi, buddy. Where did you come from? He's a basset hound. Basset hounds are one of the best smellers in the creature world. A basset hound can smell 10,000 times better than a human can. Hmm, and he's on the scent trail.
We got to go after Chris, and the smell track 1000 can help. Hey, can you meet me out here with it?
Woah, slow down.
Aw.
Thanks, sweetie.
Goodbye. Happy smelling.
The smell tracker 1000 is kind of like a basset hound, since it has a super ability to sense odor tracks. So, I'll just set it to fox, and you can use it to follow the fox that has Chris. Yes, this is going to be awesome. Let's go, Jimmy. Me? Aw. Good luck.
Zack.
Thanks, aardwolf.
Woah, woah, now, Zack. Come on, let that aardvark go.
Uh, yeah, we're busy.
You're not doing anything. You're making her dig your pool. And your point is?
She belongs in the wild. Animals depend on her. None of these animals would have a safe hole to live in and raise their young if it weren't for THE AARDVARK.
OW, HOME SCHMOME. She works for ME NOW.
WOAH.
>> [laughter] >> ENJOY THE DEEP END. I'LL just move my pool over a little bit.
Now, let's get back to work.
Oh, no, slurpy. I hope he's okay.
SLURPY. Nice digging. I knew he could do it, and look, the second disk is done.
Special delivery.
Activate creature power suit.
To the creature rescue, aardvark style.
Saving the planet with creature power.
Now, that's some of my best work yet.
Hang on, guys, I'M ON MY WAY.
AT THIS RATE, I'LL BE SWIMMING BY NOON.
YEAH.
NOT SO FAST, ZACK. WHAT?
SET THESE animals free. They've got to get back to aardvark town.
I'm never giving up my NEW DIGGING BOT.
ZACK BOTS, GET THEM.
UH-OH.
WOAH.
NOW, let me try this again.
Oh, yeah.
>> [laughter] >> I GOT IT DOWN.
NICE MOVE, MARTIN.
COMING AT YOU.
YEAH.
OH, [cheering] YEAH.
NOW, WHERE'D THEY GO?
HAND OVER THE REMOTE, ZACK. NOW.
THANKS.
LIVING free and in the wild.
Okay, are you creatures ready to go home?
All right, all the creatures from aardvark town are free.
Everyone find the hole.
Ooh, I don't think that's the kind of pool Zack was looking for.
Yeah, that's for sure. Ah, you can keep your underground farm, it's I'm leaving.
Woo, Zack's gone, and everyone's safely in a hole. Yeah.
Except us.
Oh, Pinky, you're losing your slime.
Slime flakes.
Uh, Chris, I'm hanging onto a creature clue. The sun's taking the water out of the worm. Pinky's drying up. Of course.
We've got to get that worm back underground where it's wet. On my way, Martin.
Uh-oh, I like animals, but not being food for animals.
Oh, woah.
Told you I'd get you out of this, PINK.
WOO.
UH-OH, THAT'S GOING TO HURT.
Hang on, bro, I'VE GOT YOUR POSITION.
UH-OH, BETTER SLOW DOWN THIS LANDING.
OOH.
We made it, Pinky.
Pinky?
Oh, no, Pinky's burning up.
No, don't dry on ME, PINKY.
DON'T DRY ON ME. DON'T DRY.
UH-UH, WE'RE NOT GOING to lose a worm on my watch. Container? Check.
Worm slime formula 28? Check.
Harness and straps?
Check.
High power sprayer? Check.
Jimmy, prepare to teleport. A moving teleportation. I love these. Sending sliminator. Energize.
What is that? A sliminator. It blasts our special recipe of wet homemade worm slime.
Say slime.
Slime.
We got to get Pinky underground, out of the sun to where it's wet.
Let's do this.
Are we almost there?
For a worm, getting across the pavement is like crossing the driest desert.
Pinky can't take much more of this.
We're not going to make it in time.
Hey, guys, need a hand? Woah, Ellie, just in time. Wow, you guys are tiny.
That's so cool. I always wondered what it's like being a worm. Definitely not easy. Yeah, we need to get down that wormhole fast. You got it.
Thanks, Ellie. You're a lifesaver.
>> Make that a worm saver. Anytime.
Yes, we saved Pinky. Yeah, and we solved the mystery of the squirmy wormy, too.
All right.
We did?
Oh, yeah, the answer's in the slime.
Chris.
I got the otter to chase me, but how do I get it to stop?
I BET THAT OTTER has never seen a giant beaver before.
Activate.
Cool.
Martin, over here.
What do you think of these choppers?
Woohoo.
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.
We broke it, and we'll fix it. With beaver power. TO THE CREATURE RESCUE.
LET THOSE BEAVER TEETH RIP. WOOHOO. The only teeth in the creature world that can slice up a large tree.
Powerful body to carry it to the dam, and throw it on top.
Don't forget to put the heavy side up, so that it weighs down the dam.
>> Now the fun part.
Seal it UP WITH MUD.
MISSED A SPOT.
WOAH.
NICE SHOT.
LOOK!
THE WATER'S RISING. But did we do it right? Is it strong enough? Let's just hope it holds. Well, we're going to find out right now because here comes the flash flood.
Everybody off the dam.
Woohoo!
We We did it!
Coki.
Go, Chris.
The beaver dam is repaired for good.
Let's get those creatures home. Woohoo!
