01x13 - Mystery of the Weird Looking Walrus

[bunniefuu]

♪ Wild Kratts ♪

Hey, it's the
Kratt brothers, here.

Certain creatures have
really funny faces,

like orangutans,

bats,

gelada baboons,

and Martin?

How's that for a moose face?

Not bad, but I like
this one better.

Now that's a pretty funny
looking creature face.

With that long snout,
big squishy nose,

and the grab-y lips.

Those lips can strip the leaves
off a branch

in one sweep of the head,
or just nibble.

They like twigs, too.

And "moose" means "twig-eater."

That squishy nose?
That nose has just enough squish

to automatically close when she
puts her head in the water,

to eat water plants.

That way she doesn't get water
up her nose when she eats.

MARTIN:
That fun-looking face is perfect
for what the moose eats.

You know, even the weirdest
looking animals

usually have a reason for
looking the way they do.

Hey, I know another creature
who's pretty weird looking:

The walrus!

CHRIS:
Yeah, why do they need
such long tusks?

MARTIN:
What's with that
big blubbery body?

The humongous lips.

Those whisker-y faces!

Imagine if we could hang out
with walrus

in the freezing Arctic Sea.

Then we could figure out why
walruses look so weird.

CHRIS:
Hey, didn't Aviva just fix
that Manta Rider?

Yeah, now it can go
twice as fast. Woo!

Cut it out, bro!

Whoa!

Weird looking walrus!

Check it out, the herd is doing
something in the mud.

MARTIN:
Look at that blubbery
little guy!

I'm gonna call him Blobby!

And I'm gonna find out why
walruses look so weird.

I just gotta get in
for a closer look.

Chris, turn around.

You're about to get a look at a
giant Pacific octopus!

Huh?

Whoa!

Whoa! I can't see anything!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Chris, hang on!

I'm going down! Whoa!

Oh.

Hey, bro. Little help?

Oh, big brother
to the rescue-- again.

Whoa!

Nice rescue, bro.

Looks like the guys
ran into a snag, Aviva.

Are your Manta Riders okay?

I mean-- are you guys okay?

We're having a blast.
Just a little tangled up.

You mean "tentacled" up!

Giant Pacific's tentacles can
grow up to feet!

That's as long as a fire truck!

It's like an eight-arm
arm wrestle!

Come on, guys.
I need some data here.

When you're ready
to find out more

about the walruses features,

I'm ready to integrate them
into your suits.

Uh, can't hear you, Aviva.

We have tentacles
stuck in our ears.

(Laughing)

Yep, this girl's definitely
stuck on me.

Spinning to the left!
I'm free!

Was free.

You know, it takes the strength
of people to release the grip

of an octopus
the size of my head.

Now that's a creature
superpower!

Whoa! Uh, yeah. Let's find her
something to eat...

besides us!

Just gotta access
my creature pod!

They won't eat us, Martin!
Octopus eat clams.

I think... I... found... some.

Ooh!

Now that's using your head.

Here you go.

Okay, suction cups
grab onto the shell.

Tentacle muscles pull
the shell apart,

then the octopus uses
his beak to eat it.

And then it wins a prize!

A pretty pearl!

You want to give it
to Aviva for a present?

Uh, no. Do you want it
stuck up your nose?

No.

Didn't think so.

(Laughing)

Isn't it cool that pearls are
formed in a clam's shell?

Yep. They're made of sand.

They can be, but it usually
starts with a parasite.

A little microscopic creature
that gets inside the shell.

What's that sticky substance?

KOKI:
The clam protects itself

by producing a kind of natural
gluey stuff called nacre

that hardens over a few years to
make the pearl.

Whoa, so you're telling me that
a pearl necklace

is actually a string of
mummified parasites? Gross!

More like awesome.

Ooh! I want a string of
mummified parasites!

(Laughing)

Now that you're out of that
sticky situation, guys,

time to get back
to the walruses.

I'm ready to do some inventing!

Weird looking walrus,
here we come!

Wow! It's the
famous Arctic Pearl!

I hear it's worth
a zillion dollars!

That's the biggest pearl
I've ever seen!

Donita Donata.

It's Zach Varmitech.
Uh, we met at the

"Finding Your Inner Villain
in days" seminar.

Yes, yes. Aren't you the one
who ate too many clams

and then was sick under
the table all night?

No.

I'm the world-renowned
mega-genius robotics inventor!

Now, I know you use live animals
for your clothing line

and I just found a pearl
I thought you might like.

Like it? I love it!

It'll be the crowning jewel

for my new line of
pearl-encrusted sweatpants.

Can you get more?

Well, if my calculations
are correct,

there's a huge untapped source
of pearls under the Bering Sea,

which will cost us nothing,
and make me--

I mean us--

Millions!

So, can you meet with me today?

Maybe.

Will you give me that big pearl
to seal the deal?

If I have to.

You do.

I'll be there as soon as I find
my snakeskin belt.

I think it slithered
under the couch. Ciao!

Oh, I'm gonna be rich.

Wait. I'm already rich.

Oh! I'm gonna be really rich!

(Evil laughter)

MARTIN:
Okay, I think we're
onto something

in the weird looking
walrus mystery.

Whoa, that's one way to use
those weird looking tusks.

Like sled runners to slide
across the mucky ocean floor.

Then the walrus sh**t water
into the sediment,

to break it up.

She's looking for
something in the mud.

Hey, so is Blobby!

Whoa, look at those whiskers go!

Hey, Blobby, have your whiskers
grown in yet?

Whiskers!
They have of them...

give or take a couple.

Whoa, their whiskers work like
magic fingers in the mud.

You can't find things
with nose hairs!

My controller!

Chill, Jimmy.
I made it waterproof.

Pudding-proof, too.

See, just like fingers: each
whisker has muscles to move it.

So now we know that walruses use
tusks and whiskers

to search for something in the
muck, but what is it?

I know! I'll make
a creature attachment

for the Creature Power Suits.

And, maybe you guys can dig in
and find out.

(Slurping)

Hey, waste not; want not.

Looks like there's
a whole pile of clams

right under my yacht!

I couldn't be smarter.

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Or in more pain!

I cut my finger in half!

Zach-bots! Zach needs ointment!

I don't mind giving Donita
the Arctic Pearl

to show her I mean business...
big business!

Ahem.

What? Oh no!

Oh, hello Donita.

Zach, I'm on my way to collect
my fabulous pearl,

so you'd better
have it ready for me.

Uh-huh. Well, take your time.

Uh, gotta go!

Zach-bots!

Zach-bots, find that pearl!

What was that?

Brace yourself, Martin,
it's a walrus stampede!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Oh, something sure spooked
those walruses.

But now they're back on track.

Look, those whiskers
have found something.

A clam! That's what they're
looking for down here!

Clams!

Walruses eat clams too?

But how do they get past the
shell to the yummy part inside?

Ooh! I say she'll crush the
shell, then eat it.

She'll just swallow
the thing whole!

She'll use her tusk
as a can opener!

CHRIS:
That's it! Walruses suck clams
out of their shells

with one giant slurp.

Sucking the clams out of there
was my next guess.

BOTH:
Sure, Jimmy.

Blobby can't find
his own clams yet,

but he's trying to get a taste
from his mom's.

Aww, too cute!

This is great!

Walruses feeding on clams has
hardly ever been seen!

I gotta get this on film!

That's it!

I can use the seal-y thingies to
find the Arctic Pearl.

Then they can suck
all the clams in the sea

to get the rest of them.

(Evil laughter)

How many can they eat
in one sitting?

Over , !

And they're still eating.

Now we know why they're so
blubber-y.

And why they look weird:
to find food!

Tusks drag through the mud!

MARTIN:
Whiskers feel for clams.

CHRIS:
Big-lipped mouths suck
the clams out of shells.

Ha! We've figured out why
walruses look so weird.

Way to go, guys!

I can replicate whiskers with
guitar strings,

combine it with a control
feature for movement,

and add them right into your
Creature Power Suits.

Hey, Chris, we've got another
mystery to solve...

I think Zach's Zach-bots
were just spying on us!

Hey, stop!

After them!

The Manta Riders!

They must've been destroyed in
the walrus stampede!

Yeesh! How many Manta Riders are
you gonna destroy in a week?

Uh, can we tell you
at the end of the week?

The Zach-bots are getting away!

We need walrus swimming power.

BOTH:
Activate Creature Power Suits!

To the creature rescue!

ZACH:
With my mind control helmets
I'll make the seal-y thingies

collect all the pearls
in the sea,

including the Arctic Pearl!

BOTH:
Arctic Pearl?

ALL:
Arctic Pearl?

Here it is.

"The priceless Arctic Pearl was
stolen yesterday

by what appeared to be an odd
little girl"

She's more than odd, crew!

AVIVA:
She's a Zach-bot,

which means Zach
is up to no good.

CHRIS:
So that's what he's up to!

Zach's hypnotizing them

to use their tusks and whiskers
to find clams!

Then the conveyor belt is
sending them up to the surface.

He's got other walruses sucking
them all open.

So he can find the Arctic Pearl
and all the pearls in the sea!

He's force feeding them,
and he's got Blobby!

We've got to stop Zach,
but how?

I've got it. Let's pretend
we're walruses,

and infiltrate the chain.

Martin, we're wearing walrus
suits. He'll never buy it.

Oh, goody! I got two more!

Connect them to the others.

Told you! Zach couldn't tell a
walrus from a wombat!

Eh, that's not it.

Gross. Puny one.

Keep sucking those clams you
mustached blobs!

Chris, are you really
hypnotized?

No. We don't have walrus brains,

so the skullcaps
won't work on us.

But we gotta keep up the act

till we figure out
how to stop Zach.

Be the walrus!

Oh, I'm with you, bro.

(Mimicking walrus cry)

Hey! A lot less burping

and a lot more sucking clams,
seal thingies.

Uh-oh.

Hello, Donita.

Whew, you got here quickly!

My jet travels at
the speed of style, darling.

Where's my big pearl?

Oh, you're so full
of silly questions.

And you're hiding something.

What's going on, Zach?

Uh, it's a surprise!

I don't like surprises...
but I like big pearls,

and big money, which you
promised to make me.

And you'll have both, thanks
to the seal-y thingies.

Those are walruses.

Ugh! Whatever!

Don't worry, Blobby.

We're gonna save you
and your mom.

I've waited long enough.
Give me the giant pearl, Zach.

A deal's a deal!

All right! All right!
Here's the truth.

The blobby thingies stole it.

I don't believe you.

Uh, didn't think so.

I'm not feeling so good.

That last clam tasted like feet!

I know, but we gotta
keep it up

until we figure out a way to
save the walruses.

I found the Arctic Pearl!

Martin, you said that
a little loud.

Wait! That sounded
like a Wild Ratt!

They must be around here
someplace!

I'll find them,
if it's the last thing I do!

Or the next thing you do.

Yeah, or the--
What do you mean?

They're the walruses who don't
resemble walruses...

whatsoever!

Ugh! Get them!

Hand over the Arctic Pearl,
Wild Ratt.

Forget it.
It belongs in the museum.

It belongs to Donita.

And walruses belong
living free and in the wild.

You stole the Arctic Pearl?
I thought you found it!

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!

And we need to make like a
pearl, and roll!

Hey! Get that pearl!

MARTIN:
Oops!

ALL:
Get it!

I am so not impressed.

Quick, Martin.

With walrus power we can find
the pearl before they do!

Guys! Hang on. Jimmy's sending
you the whisker attachment disk.

Way to save the day, Aviva!

Okay, if I were a walrus,

I'd use my whiskers
to feel in the mud!

Sifting through with
walrus whisker power.

Gotta find that pearl.

CHRIS (Mumbling):
Zach-wots at
sewen o'cwock, Wartin!

I can't understand you, Chris.

You've got the Arctic Pearl
in your mouth! Ha ha!

Uh, Martin, you said that a
little loud too!

Martin, go long!

Got it!

Swim, Martin!

Hey, Zach-bots,
is this what you want?

CHRIS:
Ha! Good walrus move, Martin.

Not good enough, Chris!

Help!

Over here!

Hang on, bro. I've got an idea
that might work.

All I need now is a clam.

Haven't you eaten enough?

Ha! Found one!

An octopus can't resist
a tasty clam.

BOTH:
Tentacles to the
creature rescue!

Oh, that's gonna cost me.

The herd's in trouble, Chris.

After minutes without air,
they're becoming really weak.

And after , they drown!

It's been minutes!

Oh, but this thing's a maze of
numbers and buttons!

It'll take forever
to dismantle it!

We have no choice.

Let's give Zach the pearl
so the herd can breathe.

Wait a second, guys!

Zach and I spent a summer
together at science camp.

Maybe I can crack the code.

Not so fast,
little miss smarty-pants!

Zach's favourite number is .

He has toes on his left foot,
eats radish sandwiches a day.

His favourite colour is
chartreuse--

(Shouting gibberish)

And his favourite
person is himself.

Oh, you think you're so smart,
smarty-pants?

Well, I've got other
seal thingies up my sleeve.

Way to go, Aviva!

Breathe, walrus buddies,
breathe!

Now we've got to save Blobby.

One Arctic Pearl,
coming up, Donita.

Thanks to my
insta-freeze device,

they're not going anywhere.

Ice floe lockdown!

Let's see them
get out of this one!

You're trapped, Wild Ratts, and
I've got the baby seal thingy!

Gimme the pearl!

(Evil laughter)

We've only got seconds
left of air.

And this ice,
it's inches thick!

We can't break through it.

That's thick enough
to hold a ½ ton truck!

(Evil laughter)

You're the best bro
I ever had, Martin.

seconds! , ...

Back at you, Chris.

, ...

Unbelievable!

BOTH:
Ice-smashing heads!

They're free!

Whew! Lucky for us,

a creature that finds its food
under the ice

has a built-in helmet that helps
it bust right back after lunch.

Oh, big whoop. I've still got
the tubby baby.

Give me the pearl.

Uh, Zach? You really don't want
to be holding Blobby right now.

He's been eating clams all day.

Plus, it's not a good idea

to get between a wild animal mom
and her baby.

Whaa-ha-ha-ha!

Oh, look at the time.

I better make
like a pearl, and roll.

Hey, that's my line!

(Laughing)

MARTIN:
Aww, cute!

Looks like Blobby and his mom

are going back to where
they belong.

Take care, little buddy!

And the Arctic Pearl will be
back where it belongs, too.

And everything's back to normal
in the Bering Sea.

And mystery solved! Now we know
why walruses look so weird!

AVIVA:
Blubbery bodies to keep them
warm in cold water

where their food lives.

MARTIN:
Giant tusks that drag
along the sea bottom.

JIMMY:
Cool whiskers to
find clams in the muck.

CHRIS:
Big powerful lips to suck the
clam into their mouths.

KOKI:
And even an ice-bashing head to
get back through the ice

when they're done with dinner.

Walruses look the way they do
because of where they live,

what they eat,
and how they get it.

And Jimmy looks the way he does
because of what he eats,

and how he gets it.

(Laughing)

I love weird looking creatures.

Walrus, moose--

Every creature's face
is different!

And it's fun to figure out why
they look the way they do.

Okay, Martin, what are some of
the weirdest creature faces

you can think of.

Let's see. Gelada baboon
with that lip flip!

That face tells other baboons
to back off.

Nice one! And don't forget
elephants.

Imagine having a nose like that!

It can strip the wood
right off a tree!

It can pick up leaves...

Scratch her itchy eye,

and even give herself
dust baths.

And imagine having a nose that
can even chase away lions!

Got one: warthog!

They use their tusks for
fighting!

And the warts help
protect their faces

from the other warthogs tusks!

And its face is a shovel too!

Nice! Then there's
the giant anteater.

With a face that reaches
way down low

to lick up termites with
a super long tongue.

Wildebeest, rhino, vulture,
tortoise, stork...

We could go on forever.

All weird faces,
all for a purpose.

And there's nothing weird
about that!

You know, maybe they think we're
the weird looking ones.

With our small noses...

Our little lips...

Our furless faces...

Our round ears!

So what do you think, girl?
Are we the weird looking ones?

Thought so!

So, get out there on a creature
adventure of your own!

And look for animals with weird
looking and useful faces!
