05x02 - Mystery of the North Pole Penguins?

[bunniefuu]

♪ Wild kratts ♪

[Martin voiceover] we're
here in the northern hemisphere

Where winters can
last for six months.

That's a lot of snow and cold.

[Chris] hey, it's us,

The kratt brothers.

I'm chris.

I'm martin.

And if you're looking
for wild penguins

Up here in the north
or the north pole,

You're looking in
the wrong spot.

To see wild penguins,

You have to go down south

From the northern hemisphere

Down towards antarctica

And it's on these icy shores
that a lot of penguins live.

But if you are in the north,

You're not totally out of luck.

You can still see penguins at
your nearby zoo or aquarium.

And if you're in chattanooga,

That's the tennessee aquarium.

Penguins are one of
the most amazing,

And the funnest creatures
in the creature world.

But there isn't just

One kind of penguin.

There are different
species of penguin.

[Martin] that's the
gentoo, the only penguin

With a headband marking.

See the white band
going over his head?

[Chris] and this little guy
is a macaroni penguin.

See, he has funny little
yellow feathers on his head.

They also eat different things

And they make different sounds.

(Penguins screaming)

Those macaroni
penguins are loud.

But all of them have
that same body design

That gives them
their creature power.

Penguins are amazing swimmers.

With streamlined bodies,

They rocket through the water.

Their wings are
what powers them.

They're basically
flying underwater.

Oh yeah, penguins
have everything it takes

To swim through icy waters

And survive in
freezing, snowy lands.

Imagine if we had

Penguin power.

[Both] what if?

[Martin voiceover] mystery
of the north pole penguins?

Oh, I love penguins.

Me too.

But I love them more.

No way, I loooooove 'em.

And they love marching.

Hey, aviva, how's it going

With the penguin
power programming?

I'm working on it.

Oh come on, aviva, hurry up.

The penguins are marching,
we wanna join in.

[Aviva] well, it's not like

They're running
fast or anything.

Why don't you just
walk with them?

Well, we tried.

Look what happens.

(Gasping)

(Cawing)

See?

The penguins don't
like us marching.

Unless you're a penguin.

Ow.

Yow.

Oh no.

(Groaning)

Oh no.

If you help, maybe we can get

These penguin discs done faster.

We'll help.

Yeah, I'll do anything
for a penguin power suit.

(Exciting music)

I can't stand it.

Designing penguin
suits is the worst.

That design is
definitely not working.

And you penguins aren't helping.

Why did I ever think penguins

Could help design a new tuxedo?

Why did I ever take you
from the south pole?

(Shouting)

Let go of my necklace!

Ooof!

That's it, we're done!

Dabio, pose beam!

Huh?

Yes, donita.

(Electronic whirring
and zapping)

Unload these fashion flops.

Donita, we're
at the north pole

And penguins live
at the south pole.

Who cares?

What's the difference?

There's snow, there's
ice, get 'em outta here.

Um, okay.

[Donita] good riddance.

They're just lucky
I didn't unload them

In the kalahari desert.

(Baby penguin chirping)

(Electronic music)

Okay, let's see
what we got here.

Hm.

How 'bout you?

Uh-huh.

And one last one.

Oh yeah,

It's true.

Emperor penguins are the
largest penguins in the world.

Hey, let go!

Whoa!

(Groaning)

They're pretty strong too.

Penguins don't fly, their
flippers are for swimming.

(Honking)

Right, buddy?

[Koki] scanning now.

Aviva, standby, I'm sending
you some more observations.

Uploading now.

Standing by, koki.

Fantastico, it's the last bit
of data I need for the discs.

[Both] whoa.

With all your help, we did it.

That was some great teamwork.

Yeah, the whole wild
kratts team pitched in.

Except for jimmy.

[All] jimmy?

Yeah?

[Aviva] why won't you come out?

I'm just scared of polar bears.

You got nothing
to worry about today

Because there are
no polar bears here.

We're in the antarctic
at the south pole.

Polar bears don't live here.

Polar bears live on the
other end of the earth

At the north pole.

Yep, up in the arctic

Along with the polar bears,

You'll find arctic wolves,

Muskox, wolverines,

Walrus, and lots more.

Whoa.

On the southern end of
the earth in the antarctic,

There are leopard
seals and penguins.

Seven different
species of penguins.

No land predators for

Adult penguins here.

Yeah, and it was very easy

For aviva to make a
penguin power suit.

Mm-hmm.

Huh, yeah, mm-hmm?

Oh yeah.

Inventing and programming

Penguin power suits is a breeze.

(Laughing)

So what are you waiting for?

Now you can march

With the penguins.

[Martin] oh yeah.

Activate...

Penguin powers.

(Exciting music)

(Electrical zapping)

Uh, it's kinda hard to look
heroic in a penguin power suit.

Hey, I love penguins,

But they don't seem to make

The most dynamic

Power suits, do they?

Maybe they have some secret
powers we could discover.

But for now, we can waddle.

Yeah, and I'm really warm.

Whoa, penguins might not walk
fast, but they can walk far.

Really far.

That's right, from here
to there is five miles.

And I've found some

Research that says

Emperor penguins have been

Known to march for miles.

Wow, that's a
cool creature power.

Yeah. Hey, and look.

He's belly-sliding.

Now that's a fun creature power.

(Laughing)

And they use the belly-slide
to travel faster over land.

Hey, I have an idea.

We could get to the sea faster

If we belly-slide from up there.

This was a great idea, martin.

Thanks, bro.

We're already

Discovering cool...

And fun...

[Both] penguin powers.

Wow.

Penguin belly-slide!

(Whooping and hollering)

We're moving fast now.

I wonder why none of the other

Penguins thought of this?

[Martin] we're gonna run
into those penguins.

How do we stop?

Guys, guys, how do we stop?

Help, help.

Look out!

[Both] uh-oh.

Whoa!

This is why penguins
don't slide from high hills.

And one other thing,

Penguins don't fly.

(Groaning)

Oops, sorry.

Our mistake.

Ow.

(Laughing)

Oh, okay, I guess
we deserve that.

Ow. Okay, strong beak noted.

But we're only gonna know

What penguin powers are

When we hit the water.

[Both] swim time!

(Playful music)

Where'd they zip off to?

Oh, there.

Hey, they might be a little
slow and clumsy on land,

But penguin powers are
super in the water.

Whoa, they zoom
around like missiles.

How do they swim like that?

Flap flippers?

Whoa.

The suit works.

Okay, so let's break down

How these work.

Flipper flap down

For moving forward.

And now I understand
the penguin body shape.

It's sleek and streamlined
for moving through the water.

Yeah, and check it out.

Flapping and curving
their wings up and down

Let's them change direction.

Angling the wings up

Makes you go up.

Angling them down

Makes you go down.

The wing helps
provide power and speed

For moving up and
down in the water.

(Shouting)

[Both] iceberg!

Angle wings down to go down.

Oh.

(Groaning)

We still have some
things to learn.

Yeah, like how do they turn?

[Martin] oh, I think they
use their hind feet too.

[Chris] so they
use both their wings

And their feet to steer.

Okay, okay, now I get it.

Oh yeah! Wahoo!

Woo-hoo, we're
swimming like penguins.

(Laughing and whooping)

Woo-hoo, I'm with you, buddy.

Oh-ho, I've got it now.

Penguin power.

And it's a good thing we did

Before we met up with an
orca or a leopard seal.

Those are major predators
of the penguins.

And what keeps penguins out of
their jaws is swimming power.

You know, I've never seen a

Leopard seal before,

But I really wanna see one,

I think.

Hey, bro, penguins
are predators too.

Look what they're hunting,

A school of silverfish.

[Martin] woo,
look at them move.

[Chris] wow, a penguin
can eat underwater.

That helps them stay down
here and just keep eating.

[Martin] because penguins can
hold their breath

For minutes.

That's some great
swimming power.

Hey, bro, you hungry?

For live fish?

Uh, not really, but we've gotta

Put our penguin powers

Through their paces.

Uh, we should
forget about the fish.

Is this what I think it is?

Mm-hmm.

[Both] leopard seal!

[Martin] wow,
it looks awesome.

[Chris] awesomely dangerous!

Swim!

[Chris] fly!

Swim-fly.

Fly-swim.

(Chase music)

[Martin] keep flapping, chris.

[Chris] oh, I'm flapping.

Penguin powers are
fast and maneuverable.

But so are

Leopard seal powers.

[Martin] (shrieking)

Oh, we can't shake him.

[Martin] into
the iceberg, bro.

I think we lost him.

(Screaming)

Nope.

[Chris] follow those penguins.

Of course, get to land, that's
actually a penguin's defense.

(Grunting)

(Sighing)

We're safe.

No we're not.

Uh-oh, we need bigger land.

(Rock chase music)

This way.

[Both] uh-oh.

[Martin] orca.

[Chris] ah, is
this ever gonna end?

Koki, aviva,

Need a little help here.

[Koki] guys, you're almost
near landfall, keep swimming.

[Martin] I see land.

[Chris] almost there.

He's gaining on us.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Waddle, bro, waddle.

I'm waddling.

Hey, this is where our

Penguin waddle is a superpower.

We might not be
very fast on land,

But we're faster
than a leopard seal.

That's all the speed we need.

(Sighing)

[Both] whoa.

[Chris] whoa, incredible.

The leopard seal
sometimes has to use

The land for safety too.

[Martin] the antarctic seas

Are a dangerous place.

The land of antarctica

Is a safe place.

No land predators,

Perfect for penguins.

Penguins are a southern
hemisphere species.

Seven penguin species live

In the southern continent

Of antarctica.

Adelies.

[Martin] chinstraps.

[Chris] emperors.

[Martin] gentoos.

[Chris] macaronis.

[Martin] kings.

[Chris] and rockhoppers.

But no penguins are
in the north pole.

I wonder why.

Uh, wait a sec,
guys, are you sure?

I just got a message from up
north in the arctic from nua.

Hi, guys, I found
three penguins,

But penguins don't
live in the arctic,

So what are they doing here?

[Both] what?

That doesn't make any sense.

Why are there three

Penguins at the north pole?

If that's where they are,
they're sitting ducks.

Well, they're actually standing

And they're not
related to ducks.

Penguins are more
closely related

To albatrosses,
loons, and petrels,

But you know what I mean.

[Chris] yeah,
petrels are predators

The penguins need
to worry about.

They go after their chicks.

Yeah, but at the south
pole, adult emperor penguins

Have no land predators,

Like polar bears,
wolves, or wolverines.

Penguins don't know how to deal

With these kind
of land predators.

You're right.

It's worse than sitting ducks,

They're standing penguins,

Alone, in the arctic.

Well, not totally alone.

I'm here.

Okay, nua, we're on our way.

Why don't you build a

Snow-fort around them

And try to hide them

Until we get there, okay?

I'm on it.

[Aviva] how can we get
from the south pole

To the north pole quickly?

We can't use the
earth's rotation,

Because that goes east-west.

We've gotta go from
the south to the north.

It's going to take awhile.

Even at quadruple
thruster speed.

[Jimmy] so, we
better get moving.

Arctic, here we come.

(Rock music)

Yes, now it is finished.

You have to stay inside.

There are polar bears
and wolves out at night.

Martin, chris, and
the wild kratts

Will be here in the
morning to take you home.

It's getting dark, so
I have to go home now.

Remember, stay inside.

[Jimmy] arriving
at coordinates.

Yep, we're in the arctic,

A frozen sea

Surrounded by continents.

There's the fort,

And nua.

[Both] nua.

Hi, martin, hi, chris.

[Martin] hey, we gotta see
these mysterious penguins.

Nice fort, nua.

Thanks.

I never, ever, thought I'd
see penguins in the arctic.

(Mimicked penguin honking)

Oh, I'm saying, "come
on out, coast is clear."

Sounds better in my penguin
power suit, I guess.

(Gasping)

[All] they're gone.

Look, penguin tracks.

[Martin] oh no, they'll
never survive out there.

We've got to find the penguins

Before the arctic predators do.

Wait here in case
the penguins come back.

[Wild kratts] good luck.

[Martin] thanks.

All right,

Even though they waddle slowly,

Remember how far

Penguins can waddle?

Yeah, miles, and
they had all night.

We gotta hurry.

Yes.

There they are.

[Martin] creature
mission accomplished.

Hey.

[Martin] oh, they're
emperor penguins.

Yup, let's get down there.

(Whooping and hollering)

Hello, penguins.

(Chirping)

You're hungry, I bet you are.

I must have a can of sardines
in one of these pockets.

Oh, here we go.

(Chuckling)

Whoa, okay, okay, I'm
gonna name you spinner.

Here, have another
sardine, spinner.

Spinner loves those sardines.

And penguin parents always
feed their chicks first.

Oh, martin, look.

(Gasping)

Oh no,

Polar bears=!

And wolves.

Nobody's seen a penguin
in the arctic before.

All these predators
are curious, and hungry.

(Tense rock music)

Quick, grab your
penguin power disc.

Got it.

Insert power disk.

Touch penguins.

[Both] activate penguin power.

Wait a second,

Why did we just do that?

Well, we always
activate a creature power

To get us out of trouble.

Yeah, but how are penguin
powers gonna help us here?

(Growling)

[Both] uh-oh.

Penguins don't have any

Really good land powers.

(Gasping)

Hey, let's surprise them
with a little creative use

Of penguin belly-sliding powers.

Slide me out there, bro.

You've got it.

I'll use my super high speed

Cyclone discus throw.

(Shouting)

(Whooping and laughing)

[Martin] hey, coming through.

Yeah.

Look out, bro.

[Chris] oh no.

No, look out, no.

That's not how it's
supposed to work.

(Shouting and giggling)

To the penguin rescue.

Two penguin slides
are better than one.

(Whooping and hollering)

[Both] creature
mission accomplished.

(Shouting)

(Groaning)

Well, actually, not quite

Creature mission accomplished.

We still have to get these

Penguins to the south pole.

Okay, gather up, everybody,
we're taking you back home.

But we still don't
understand how these penguins

Ever got way up here to the
north pole in the first place.

Yeah.

It really is a mystery.

Wow, these emperor
penguins are slick.

And the chick is so...

[Both] cute.

A-ha, more sardines.

[Chris] okay, so the big
question is,

How did the penguins

Get from the south
pole to the north pole?

[Martin] and the second
question is,

Where on the huge continent of

Antarctica did they come from?

Hm, let's see if
there are any clues.

Step back.

(Gasping)

Hm.

No sign of net fibers,
negatory for pastry crumbs.

But, a-ha,

I've found pose beam residue.

[Team] donita.

(Phone ringing)

Hello, this is dabio.

(Laughing)

Dabio, put it on the screen.

Yes, donita.

[Team] hello, donita.

(Screaming)

Wild kratts?

Why did you put them on?

Uh, because, I don't know.

[Donita] what do you want?

Well, we found the penguins

You abandoned in the arctic.

I did not.

But I found pose beam residue.

Oh, well so what?

Penguins don't
live in the north.

They can't survive
in the arctic.

[Aviva] and we need you to
give us the coordinates

From where you
took them, or else.

Or else what?

We're going to come over
and hang out with you.

We can play tennis together
and then have lunch

And then go to the movies,
and we'll have lots

And lots of fun together.

Oh goodie.

No thank you.

Give them the coordinates,

Dabio.

Yes, donita.

[Aviva] okay,
this is the spot.

Okay, spinner, you
are home sweet home.

Spinner.

(Chuckling)

[Chris] living free
and in antarctica.

Emperor penguins are amazing.

I mean, they're huge.

[Chris] yeah, they stand
about four feet tall.

They are the largest

Penguins in the entire world.

And as amazing as
emperor penguins are,

You still can't forget about

The other really cool
species of penguins.

[Chris] and today,
we're lucky enough

To be hanging out
with two of them.

Macaroni penguins.

You know them right away

From those funny yellow
feathers on their heads.

But why are they called
macaroni penguins?

Well, they're named after a
special old hat from england

That had a large feather in it,

Called a macaroni.

Now you know, emperor penguins
are the largest penguin.

They stand about this tall.

And then there's king penguins
that are a little smaller,

And then this, the
gentoo penguin,

Is the third-largest species
of penguin in the world.

Remember, you can tell them
easily by that white headband

That goes from eye to eye,

Right over their head.

Oh, and look at
that powerful beak.

It's great at catching
slippery fish.

And penguins eat a lot of them,

Eating up to % of their
body weight every day.

These gentoo penguins
hold the record

For being the fastest
swimming penguin of all.

They can zoom through the
water at miles an hour.

That is fast.

Those webbed feet, that's what

The penguins use for steering.

Those feet help
make tight turns.

And gentoos got that beak,

Just like all the penguins do.

A great tool for catching fish.

Right? Yeah, it's true.

[Chris] if you look
closely at the feathers,

You can see how densely
they're packed in.

There are to
feathers per square inch.

It's like a waterproof shield.

It can't even let any
of the icy cold water

In to touch their skin.

Penguins are so fun

And amazing.

It's easy to see
why they're one

Of everybody's favorite animals.

Keep on creature adventuring.

We'll see ya on
the creature trail.
