05x10 - Sloth Bear Suction

[bunniefuu]

♪ Wild kratts

Martin: the creature
world is home

To so many amazing animals.

You just gotta keep on

Creature adventuring

To meet them all.

Hey it's us,
the kratt brothers.

I'm martin.

I'm chris.

And today we're
getting to know...

Both: sloth bears.

Sloth bears?

So is it a sloth?

Or a bear?

Well sloths live in
the southern hemisphere.

There are only two species,

But both of them
look pretty similar.

They have long arms with
really long, curved claws.

They hang upside
down in the trees,

Moving around, it's
their upside down world.

They have long, shaggy
fur and they eat plants.

So that's a sloth.

Or is a sloth bear a bear?

Now we all know what a
bear looks like, right?

There are about eight
different species

Of bear in the world.

Some live in the northern
hemisphere, most of them do,

Some in the southern hemisphere.

Like the black bear.

They're omnivores, they
eat plants and animals.

And those little cubs,
they love to play.

And a bigger bear,
the brown bear,

Are really good at catching
salmon in the river.

They're super strong
and big and brawny.

And then there's the
giant panda from china.

Those black and white
bears love to eat bamboo.

They specialize in eating
pretty much only bamboo.

Hey, that's a lot of
great stuff on bears, chris,

But we still have the question,

Is the sloth bear a sloth?

Or a bear?

We've gotta learn
everything we can

About the mysterious sloth bear

Including its creature powers.

Imagine if we had

Sloth bear powers.

Both: what if?

Martin: sloth bear suction.

(Blowing)

(Slurping)

(Cawing)

I like the early morning
when everybody else

Is still snoozing.

To the creature rescue!

(Yawning) I'll
name you... (Snores)

(Cawing)

(Laughs)

I know right?

(Alarm beeps)

Oh, gotta fly.

(Alarm beeping)

There's a wild kratts
kid message coming in.

From right here in india.

(Computer beeping)

(Typing)

Hello?

Namaste, koki. It's mala.

Namaste, mala.

How are you?

I'm well.

Where is everyone?

They're still sleeping.

Well, I think we

Should wake them up

Because there's a
creature emergency.

I found (static)

A sloth bear
(static) weird looking

(Static) so cute.

(Static) sloth bear.

Sloth bear?

What's a sloth bear?

Mm, I don't know.

(Yawning)

Like a sloth that's
as big as a bear?

Oh, I thought it was a

Bear that lived like a sloth.

You know, hanging upside down

In trees and eating leaves?

Why would a bear do that?

Because it's a sloth

That's as big as a bear.

You mean a bear that
looks like a sloth?

Sloth.

Bear.

Koki: sloth.

Aviva: bear.
(Jimmy yawning)

Koki: sloth.

Aviva: bear.

Koki: sloth.

Aviva: bear.

(Scribbling)

Both: sloth bear.

I'm confused.

Are you talking about
a sloth or a bear?

Good question.

What do you think?

Is a sloth bear a

Bear-like sloth?

Or, a sloth like bear?

Uh...

I love this hotel.

Everything is so neat, so clean.

Everything's exactly

In its place.

But I do need to get
out for some exercise.

Take me for a spin, dabio.

Yes, donita.

(Tires screeching)

After you.

(Dabio panting)

Exercising always
makes me feel so relaxed.

Good cardio.

Ahh.

Whoa.

(Donita screams)

Oh.

What in the world is that?

Uh,

I wanna say (mumbles).

It looks so messy.

So unkempt.

I do not like the
look of this creature.

All the shagginess and
hair going every which way.

No, I can't look the other
way and ignore such messiness.

Let's straighten this out.

Dabio, pose beam.

(Clapping)

(Machine beeping)

Oo, oh boy.

Now that it's pose beamed,

Bring it to me.

And I will fix it.

Ugh, I only have a
comb and a brush.

We have to get to the plane,

All my styling supplies
are in the salon.

Dabio, what are you waiting for?

(Cubs grunt)

Koki: sloth. Aviva: bear.

(Repeat)
koki: sloth. Aviva: bear.

(Repeat again)
koki: sloth. Aviva: bear.

(Repeat)
koki: sloth. Aviva: bear.

(Repeat again)
koki: sloth. Aviva: bear.

Koki: sloth.

Let's get the kratt bros

To settle this.

Fine.

(Doors whoosh)

(Snoring)

(Chris yells)

Hey, whoa!

Oof.

Huh?

Okay, what is it?

Sloth?

Aviva: or bear?

Oo, are you thinking
what I'm thinking, brother?

I'm thinking the same thing.

Aviva: so? Koki: what is it?

Come on, we're not

Just going to tell you.

Yeah, what fun
would that be?

You've gotta find
out for yourselves.

With an exploration.

A creature mission.

Let's go find a sloth bear.

Or a bear sloth.

Both: awesome!

Chris and martin: come
on wild kratts, let's go.

(Engine revving)

Hello mala,
we're on the move.

Mala?

Can you give us anymore
info on the sloth bears?

(Static)

Hello?

Hello?

Degrees north,
degrees east.

That way.

Hair product.

(Spraying)

Oh, it's a bear.

That's it.

Clean, neat and now unfreeze.

Let's see how she likes it.

What?

How dare you mess up your hair.

This bear is out of control.

I'll try another
style to tame her.

Dabio, pose beam.

(Growling)

Oh no.

Uh-oh.

Dabio, stop playing with her.

Good. Okay, let's
try this again.

Namaste, wild kratts.

All: namaste, mala.

Martin: so where's
the sloth bear?

This way.

Aviva: I think we
found our answer

To the question
of sloth or bear.

Koki: okay, those are
definitely bear cubs.

We have to be careful.

Remember, mother
bears can be dangerous.

But I don't see
their mom anywhere.

What?

No mom?

Then these cubs are in danger.

Yeah, there are
predators out here

Like dholes,

Tigers and leopards who
could snatch up these cubs

Without mom here
to protect them.

And we still don't
know why this bear

Has sloth in its name.

Well, these cubs
aren't slow like a sloth.

That can't be why they're
called sloth bears.

Hey guys, what are
you doing all alone?

A mother bear would
never leave her cubs alone.

(Gasps) unless
something happened.

Where's mom?

Chris: hey, I think
they see something.

What's that?

Hmm.

Look d d, for donita donata.

She must have taken
the mother bear.

We've gotta get her back.

We'll need some
creature power

To save her.

I'd like some sloth
bear power.

Please?

Please?

You don't have to convince me.

Let's observe the cubs

For their creature powers.

Maybe a little this way.

Hmm-hmm.

Or that way.

Hmm.

(Hair dryer blowing)

Or more like that.

Ugh, I will get this right.

Chris: okay, well for
starters they have longer hair

Than most bear cubs.

And they are so cute and funny.

But they're just not showing
us any creature powers.

But they are giving me

Good ideas for names.

I'll call you shaggo

And you shaggette, yeah.

As fun and cute
as they are,

If we're gonna
get sloth bear

Powers and rescue
their mom,

I think we
have to observe

An adult sloth bear.

Sometimes I see sloth
bears at the termite field.

Termite field?

That sounds cool.

Mala, can you take us there?

Yes, it's not far.

All right wild
kratts, let's go.

It's just through there.

Chris and martin: wow.

Martin: now that's
a termite field.

Oh, what's that noise?

Seems very
weird and big.

Could it be an
elephant?

I'm going in to check it out.

Me too.

Wait up, bro.

Nope, it's not an elephant.

Whoa, that's a big
male sloth bear.

Males are bigger than females
and its hair is even messier.

(Grunting)

Koki, aviva and mala: huh?

(Grunting)

Koki, aviva and mala: what?

(Grunting)

Koki, aviva and mala:
ah, we're coming.

Look at those claws.

Martin: those claws are long and
curved, just like a sloth's.

Uh-oh, male bears can
sometimes k*ll cubs.

Koki: well, let's
hide them then.

Yes, shag,
shaggette,

You guys hide
in here.

Koki: wow, I bet he got his
name from his claws.

Look at that power.

Mala: yeah, he's
after termites.

Good observation, mala.

What else do you see, bros?

Claws break mound,

Chris: expose termite tunnels.

Prehensile lips cover tunnel.

Martin: nostrils closed
and he starts sucking

Up termites like
a vacuum cleaner.

Interesting, but
I need more details.

These sloth bear lips
are really flexible.

They can wrap around
the tunnel entrance

And create an air tight seal.

And the bear closes
his nostrils so no air

Could get in and
out of the tunnel.

So when the bear sucks in,

All the air in the
tunnel goes into the bear

Aviva: sucking the
termites with it.

Suction!

The sloth bear creates suction.

Activating x-ray analysis.

Oh yeah.

Chris: the suction is
sucking the termites

Right into the bear's mouth.

He's definitely using suction.

So he can suck up termites
like a vacuum cleaner.

And that's why I'm gonna
name you shaggy vacuum.

That's one great
creature power.

The sloth bear is the
only animal we know of

That uses the physics of
suction to eat termites.

Plus it has bear strength
and sloth-like claws.

This is going to
be a very interesting

Creature power suit.

Oh, I can't wait
to get my hands

On one of those sloth
bear power discs.

Activate sloth bear powers.

And to use those powers.

And to be a sloth bear.

(Sniffing)

He smells something.

Martin: sloth bears have an
excellent sense of smell.

In fact, it's their most
highly developed sense of all.

Chris: he could be smelling
something much farther away.

Chris and martin: a tiger!

(Growling)

(Growling)

(Thuds against tree)

Whoa, awesome strength.

The bear uses his strength

And those claws as weapons.

Martin: yeah,
great defense against

The bigger, heavier tiger.

(Both growling)

Aviva: awesome.

That's all I need
for my programming.

(Computer beeping)

Aviva: sloth bear
power programming

Complete.

Chris and martin: insert
sloth bear power discs.

Touch sloth bear.

(Both chuckle nervously)

Well that won't work.

But they will.

(Laughs)

Both: touch sloth bear.

Martin and chris:
activate sloth bear powers.

Wow, look at these claws.

Feel the strength.

Chris: hey, what's going on?

I know, sloth bear cubs
are the only bear cubs

In the world that ride

On their mom's back.

Cool.

But now we've gotta find
donita and their mom.

(Ringing sound)

Guys, I've got
donita's coordinates.

Transmitting now.

Both: to the creature rescue!

(Skidding to a stop)

That way, chris.

Oh, my turn.

Chris: hang on.

Oh yeah!

Martin: we're here.

Chris: donita's plane.

Uh-oh.

(Screaming)

Martin: chris look out!

(Moaning)

Ow.

Should I knock?

(Laughs) nah, you've
got sloth bear powers.

Just rip the door off.

Okay.

(Metal tears)

Sloth bear style.

(Gasps) donita!

Martin: what have you done?

Oh that's just cruel.

Chris: yeah, you
just can't embarrass

Creatures like that.

What do you two
know about style?

You wear the same shirts
and shorts everyday.

(Both laughing)

So?

We activate new creature
power suits everyday.

And everyone is
different, amazing and cool.

(Laughter) chris: so I
don't know what's so funny.

So now that we've
got that settled,

Un-pose beam that mother bear.

She needs to take
care of her cubs,

Chris: living free
and in the wild.

Never.

I worked hard on
this hairstyle.

She already undid it once

And it's not going
to be undone again.

And so you two bothersome
brothers can't undo the hairdo,

I'm sending the pose
beam control to...

What?

To a garbage can?

Nope.

The vault.

(Lid clanks)

Donita: how are you
gonna get it?

It's deep, deep down in
the belly of my plane

In a vault between two
thick solid steel walls.

It's impossible to get.

Even your bear strength
can't break into that.

(Laughing)

And besides, you'd
better get off my plane

Or you'll get a hair cut.

(Trimmer buzzing)

(Both screaming)

Whew, that was close.

Actually, pretty
easy to dodge.

Oh.

Whoa, what happened, bro?

(Laughing)

(Yelling)

Don't hurt my bro!

Buzz off!.

You're still never going
to un-pose this bear.

You can't reach my controller.

Even bears don't have
the power to rip through

The solid steel
floor of my plane.

We don't need to.

You thinking what
I'm thinking, bro?

Oh yeah, we're
thinking the same thing.

There are things about
sloth bear powers

That you just don't understand.

(Dabio gasps)

And I just don't care.

Stop them, dabio.

I've got him.

(Both grunting)

You're stronger
than last time.

It's sloth bear power.

Oo, that's nice.

(Dabio screaming)

So donita, did you
know that sloth bears

Have prehensile lips?

Chris: and nostrils that close.

Giving the sloth bear
the power of suction.

(Slurping)

(Air whooshing)

Donita: dabio, chris
has the controller.

What are you doing?
(Dabio screaming)

Oh.

Dabio: oh no, not again.

Martin: dabio, you just
can't b*at sloth bear powers.

Ouchie.

Oh donita.

You might want to get
out of here, donita.

You don't want to get
between a mother bear

Chris: and her cubs.

Which is where ya are right now.

Pose beam off.

(Growling)

(Screaming)

Huh?

Ah, see what I mean?

Dabio, let's go.

Ah, whoa, gotta go.

Ah yeah, mom and babies

Back together again.

Martin: that's what I
call riding bare back.

Living free and in the wild.

And we can deactivate
because that's--

Both: a creature
mission accomplished.

Donita: she can
keep her shagginess.

(Girls laughing)

Let us in on the joke.

What's so funny?

Aviva and koki: your hair.

Huh?

(Laughs) that's working
for ya, bro.

You should keep yours
for the next adventure.

Maybe I will.

(Both laugh)

(Laughing)

So that is the sloth bear.

An amazing creature.

And definitely a bear.

With some sloth-like features.

And check it out, chris saw
sloth bears in the wild.

Oh yeah, I was in india.

Chris: and it was in the
southwestern region

Where I found them.

It looks like a mother sloth
bear with two older cubs.

Foraging away for
termites and ants.

Chris: letting their
nose lead the way,

They can smell where the nests
of ants and termites are.

And when they find them,
those three inch claws

Are the perfect tools for
getting at their food source.

Listen to that.

(Slurping)

That is a sound that
only comes from a sloth bear

Because sloth bears
have an incredible

Suction creature power.

They have special lips
that are really mobile

And can form a perfect
seal around an ant nest.

And they can also
close their nostrils

So that no air can seep in.

And they don't
have any front teeth.

All those features
give the sloth bear

A perfect suction

Chris: for sucking up thousands
of ants in a single sitting.

Oh, wow.

So suction is one
of the sloth bear's

Amazing creature powers.

And check it out, you
use suction every time

You sip out of a straw.

Now it's time for a
kratt brothers' experiment.

We're gonna test our
powers of suction

With the sloth bear challenge.

Martin: let's go.

These marshmallows are
the termites, okay?

And chris and I are
gonna have a race

To see who can catch the
most termites with suction

In seconds.

Ready?

Both: on your
mark, get set, go.

Yes, I win!

No you don't!

Yes, one, two,
three, four, five,

Martin: six, seven, eight, nine.

Chris: one, two,
three, four, five,

Six, seven, eight, nine.

Both: it's a tie!

(Laughing)

Chris: I can't
believe we tied.

Keep on creature adventuring.

We'll see ya on
the creature trail.

(Upbeat music)

Chris: to find out more
about cool animals.

Both: we'll see ya there.
