06x16 - Uh-Oh Ostrich

Post by bunniefuu »

♪ "Wild Kratts!" ♪

Martin: Planet Earth has many
different desert habitats

on different continents.

Chris: We're here in the
spectacular Sonoran Desert.

It's us, the Kratt Brothers...

I'm Chris.
Martin: I'm Martin.

Now this isn't the
natural habitat

of the animal we're looking for.

Chris: But we know a ranch
nearby, where we can get

an up close look at
this special creature.

Martin: Can you guess who?

Here's a clue Chris.

It's tall, has powerful legs
and can run really fast.

Whoaa!

Martin/Chris: Uh-oh, Ostrich!

Chris: They're all around us.

Martin: Wow! What
an amazing bird.

Oh. Talk about creature power.

The biggest bird in the world.

Chris: These big
birds can't fly,

but they have a lot of
other cool creature powers.

Strong powerful legs that
give ostrich the ability

to run really fast.

In fact, they're the fastest
running birds on earth.

And if they can't
outrun their predator,

they can use their powerful
feet with serious toe power.

The only bird with
only two toes,

and the toe can be used
as a w*apon to defend itself.

Martin: Uh-oh! Ostrich fight!

Whoa, they're really battling!

Chris: Now that's ostrich power!

They're ramming each
other chest to chest.

Martin: Using those feet,
kicking each other in the chest,

with those powerful leg muscles.

Male ostrich, they will use
their power to fight each other

and battle for dominance.

Imagine if we could
be on the look-out...

Chris: ...and run...

Martin: ...and kick
like an ostrich.

Chris: Imagine if we
had ostrich powers.

Martin/Chris: What if?

Jimmy Z: I've got it!

Whoaaa....ooof

Aviva: Noooooo!!!

Jimmy stop! Hit the air brakes!

Jimmy Z: Aaaaaaa!

Aviva: Where is it?

Martin: What is it? Aviva
what's the secret invention?

Aviva: I can't tell you.

If I did, it
wouldn't be a secret.

But we've got to find it.

Chris: How are we ever going to
find a tiny square of paper

on the African savannah?

Aviva: But I've got
to find it. And fast!

I finally figured it out.

We can't lose it.

Koki: Did you make a copy?

Aviva: No! That's what
I was just going to do.

Martin: Let's get out there.
I'll grab the binoculars.

It's got to be down
there somewhere.

Oh, but the African
savannah is a vast habitat.

Koki: We have to narrow
our search radius.

Paper was ...

Aviva: Two inches by two inches

. of an inch thick,
weight . ounces.

Koki: Checking wind speed.

knots.

Tortuga was flying at...

Jimmy Z: knots.

Koki: At this altitude, air
temperature is degrees,

surface temperature .

Koki: So there's a
big hot air lift.

Drop location.

Formula complete, running
computer simulation.

(beeping)

According to my calculations,

the secret formula
should have landed

somewhere in this target zone.

Jimmy Z: I'll back
up the Tortuga.

Chris: No need. We can
get there faster with...

Martin: A little help
from our friend.

Martin/Chris: Insert
Peregrine Falcon Power Discs!

Touch Peregrine Falcon.

Martin: Pfft!

Chris: Ok...

(laughter)

Martin/Chris: Activate
Peregrine Falcon Power!

(zap - crackle)

Martin: Oh yeah,
Peregrine Falcon Power!

Chris: Ho ho! I could activate
this power suit every day.

Martin: Yeah, me too, cause
I always want to go fast.

Chris: Good. Aviva's piece of
paper is out there somewhere.

We better get going and
find the secret formula.

Target area acquired.

Martin: Let's fly.

(whoosh)

Martin/Chris:
Peregrine falcon style!

(whoosh)

Martin: Lots of action
at the watering hole.

Chris: Mixed herds,
all sorts of animals.

If the paper landed
there, it'll get trampled.

Let's get in there quick.

Martin: Whoa, wait bro!

We can't go in there
as a giant raptor.

That will freak everybody out.

Warthogs know it.

Warthog: (squeal!)

Martin: See?
Chris: Yeah.

Martin/Chris: Deactivate.

(zap)

Chris: Alright, let's look
around the rhino herd.

Martin: Yeah okay. Casually.

Nice day.

Chris: Come here often?

♪ (casual music) ♪

Martin: Hey Nubs, oh
it's so good to see you.

Hey your horns
grown a little bit.

Oh. Hey bro, let's
check out their ears.

Chris: Great idea Martin.

Maybe the paper floated
into one of their ears.

Excuse me buddy...

not here.

Hey big guys, let me just
have a peak in your ears.

Nothing.

Empty.

Anything there?

Martin: Nope.

Chris: Aha!

AAAAhhhh!

(splat)

Not a great idea bro.

Hey Nubs.

Ow. Ooow!

Oh, we've got to
find a better way.

Martin: Hey I know how we could
get a better look around.

Oh yeah. With the help
from the longest legged,

longest necked
friend that we know.

Hey Necktie. You in?

Activate (laughter)
activate giraffe power!

(zap - crackle)

Oh yeah, I love long
necked giraffe powers.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, you know the giraffe
has the biggest eyes

of any land mammal.

Having the eyes
high up like this,

really let's me get a good view.

Chris: Great idea bro,
but I can get even higher

with climbing powers.

And I don't have to activate
a creature power to do it.

I'll use my own climbing powers

because I'm the
climbing brother.

Whoa, whoa, whoaaaaa!

Martin: Hey..eeyy eyee!

Chris: I can see
everything from up here.

Whoaaaa....
Martin: Hey.

Chris: what are you doing?

Whooaoao! Aaahha!

Martin/Chris: Whoaaaa...

Chris: Oof. Oh...oooh!

Martin: Huh?
(zap - crackle)

Huh?

Look!

Chris: The secret formula!

Martin: Follow that formula!

Chris: It landed in that
pile of smooth rocks.

Aviva, we found it!

Aviva: Fantastico!
Can you get to it?

Martin: Yeah no prob.

It's just in a pile
of big smooth rocks.

Chris: Yeah smooth
rocks, unusually smooth.

Martin: Oh yeah, all I
have to do is walk over,

reach in and pick it up.

Like so. Got it!

Creature mission accomplished.

Chris: Those rocks
look really smooth.

More like eggs.

Giant eggs.

Like the eggs of...

uh-oh...ostrich!

Martin: Ostrich?

Uh-oh, ostrich.

♪ (urgent building music) ♪

(ka pow)
Aaaah! (ooof)

Uh-oh ostrich!

Ahaaa!

ohhhhh....oooooff.

Chris: Martin,
you gotta remember,

that oastriches are very
protective of their nests.

They're the largest
birds in the world

and they're very powerful.

Uh-oh ostrich.

Martin: Ugh-uh.
That's one strong bird

with really strong legs.

Ostrich have powerful kicks.

They are very powerful birds.

Chris: I kind of
already said that.

Martin: Ugh.

Chris: Bro look, there's
the female ostrich.

Martin: So the one
that was kicking me,

with the black feathers,
is the male.

Chris: Yes, and
the female ostrich

is the one with
the brown feathers.

Both parents are
fierce protectors

of their eggs and chicks.

Martin: Tell me about it.

Chris: They take turns
watching over the nest.

But being brown, she's better
camouflaged during the day.

She's covering the eggs
and the piece of paper!

Martin: So how are we going
to get to the secret formula?

Chris: It's going to be tricky

because ostriches
are on the lookout.

Did you know that ostrich eyes

can be bigger than
giraffes eyes?

Martin: Really?
Bigger than giraffes?

I did not know that.

Did you know that ostrich
have three eye lids?

Chris: Nope. But now I do.

Martin: Yeah.

Chris: So with
ostrich eyes on us,

it's going to be
really challenging

to get Aviva's secret formula.

Martin: Did you say challenging?

Martin/Chris: I
accept the challenge.

Chris: The problem is bro,
that you went in too slow.

So that means, we've
got to zip in and out

...with cheetah speed.

Hey Blur, can you lend
me some cheetah power?

Insert cheetah power disc.

Touch cheetah.

Activate cheetah power!

(zap - crackle)

Oh ho!

Even if they see me, I'll be
just a blur with cheetah powers.

See? That was a breeze.

Martin: Uh Chris, you
forgot one thing.

With those strong long legs,
ostriches are fast too.

Martin: An ostrich can
run miles per hour.

Martin: And that ostrich
got a head start.

Chris: Uh-oh ostrich!

Martin: And if the ostrich
is at top speed,

you won't be able to
accelerate to cheetah speed,

before the ostrich catches you.

Chris: Wahhhh! Oof.

Martin: And by the way...
ostrich can kick forward.

Chris: Ohhhhhhhhh... . . . oh!

(splat)

(zap - crackle)

Martin: Okay, so the ostriches
are watching their eggs

while they're eating
grass and seeds.

Chris: So?
Martin: So,

if we go in teeny tiny,
they won't even notice us.

We'll just look
like little bugs.

They won't even care.

Chris: Good idea.

Martin/Chris: Insert
termite power discs.

Touch termite.

Activate termite power!

(zap - crackle)

Martin: Oh yeah, time to
get Aviva's secret formula.

♪ (funky action music) ♪

Chris: Whoa.
Martin: Ow!

Chris: Martin, I think
they eat more than seeds.

They're trying to eat us!

Martin: Yeah, let's
get out of here!

Chris: Ouch!

Martin: Whoa!

Martin/Chris: Deactivate.

(zap - crackle)

Chris: Well that didn't work.

Martin: Well at least we learned
that ostriches are omnivores,

they'll eat anything.

Aviva: So bros, while
you've been trying

to recover my secret formula,

I've been programming
ostrich power discs.

Chris: Great planning Aviva.

Martin: Yeah, your
timing is perfect.

Koki: Uh...we've got
another complication.

The eggs are hatching!

Martin: What?

Martin/Chris: The
eggs are hatching?

Martin: Whoa, hey that's a lot
of eggs for one ostrich mom.

Chris: Oh of course, because
they are communal nesters.

Martin: Oh yeah, clutch dumpers.

Chris: Many ostriches lay
their eggs in one nest.

Martin: Yeah, but
look how big they are.

Chris: We didn't even
mention that ostrich eggs

are bigger than a softball,

not quite as big
as a soccer ball.

Martin: And when
ostrich chicks hatch,

they're almost the size
of full grown chickens!

Get ready for some
super size chicks.

Hey, I can't see.

Chris: Neither can I.

Martin/Chris: Owww. Ahh...

Chris: Look!

Martin: Ohhhh...
Chris: Amazing.

When they first hatch,
the chicks can't even

lift their long necks.

Martin: Yeah but look
how big they are.

Martin/Chris: So cute!

Martin: In a weird kind of way.

Chris: Yeah kind of goofy cute.

Okay, now while they're
distracted by the chicks,

let's get the formula.

Martin: Why don't we just wait
until all the eggs are hatched

and the chicks leave the nest?

Trust me bro, you don't want
to get kicked by an ostrich.

Aviva: We can't wait!

According to the research
that'll take a few days

for the chicks
to leave the nest.

We need that secret
formula by pm tonight!

Chris: Why is it so important?
Martin: Yeah, why?

Aviva: It just is.
And these will help.

I've completed the
ostrich power discs.

So, if you can't
b*at 'em, join 'em.

Chris: Amazing! Thanks Aviva.

Now this will be easy.

Martin: Alright, as
one of the ostriches,

we can just saunter in
there as part of the flock.

Aviva: Jimmy send them
the ostrich power discs.

Comin' at ya'!

Jimmy Z: Ready for
teleportation...

energize... and zap 'em.

Martin: Yeah,
great teleportation.

Chris: Alright now or never.

Martin/Chris: Insert
Ostrich Power Discs...

Touch ostrich feather...

Activate ostrich power!

(zap - crackle)

Martin: Whoa that's
a long neck you have.

Martin: Hey, when you
stretch your neck,

you must be almost
nine feet tall.

Martin: I think I'll
call you Stretch.

Hi Stretch.

Chris: Hey Martin,
here is Stretch Jr.

Martin: Chris? Chris?
Where are you?

Chris: Down here.

I activated into
ostrich chick power.

And this is Stretch Jr.

Strech Jr: (chitter)

Martin: Hey Stretch Jr.
I'm Martin.

Strech Jr: (chitter)

Martin: Hey, where
are they all going?

Chris: Uh-oh, something's
happening to me.

I can't help it.

I have this strong instinct,
this irresistible urge,

to follow an adult ostrich.

Aaaahhhhhh! See ya bro.

Martin: What? Chris,
what are you doing?

Even though ostrich
parents will do their best

to protect and
defend their chicks,

they can't always fend
off the super predators.

Jimmy Z: The super predators?

Who are the super
predators again?

Koki: Lions, leopards, cheetahs,

hyenas, and also wild dogs.

Jimmy Z: Oh yeah...them.

Martin: I better go and creature
rescue a special ostrich chick.

Chris: Hey wait up!

Martin: I'm coming Chris!

Aviva: But Martin, uh first,
could you grab my formula?

Martin: Oh yeah!

Shells...shells...aha got it!

Now off to rescue Chris!

Uh-oh ostrich!

♪ (playful music) ♪

Chris: Uh Martin, I think
I may need a little help here.

A pride of lions has spotted us.

Aviva: Oh no, until Martin get's
there, stick with the flock.

Chris: I'm trying. Since the
one who gets left behind

usually gets captured
by the predators.

So I need to....ruuuunnnn!!!

Aaaahhh!

Woo-hoo!!! Woo-hoo!!!!

Aaaahhh!!

Koki: Martin, what're
you waiting for?

Go help Chris.

Martin: I can't, this
ostrich is blocking me.

Koki: Well, use
your ostrich powers.

Ostrich: (hissing)

Martin: I think
he wants to fight.

(kapow!)
Aaaah...

yeah he wants to fight...

oof.

Oh no! The ostrich hit
the activation button.

And I'm touching a rhino.

Tell your mom I'm sorry Nubs.

Jimmy Z: I think this might
be a creature power suit

malfunction in progress.

Koki: Ya think?

Martin: Deactivate.
Oh no, the button's stuck!

Aviva: You've got to
unstick that button.

If you don't, then every
animal you touch will be

added to the activation.

Martin: Oh no.
Creature malfunction!

(kapow!)

Whoa.....not again!

Oooof!

(zap - crackle)

Whoa!

Hey Thornsley, tell your mom
I don't want any trouble.

Just I'm in the middle
of my creature power suit

malfunction...Iiiiiiinnnnnggg!

(zap - crackle)

Yeah, sorry. I know.

It's a creature
power suit malfunction.

Lion: (ROAR)

Martin: Aaaaaah!

(zap - crackle)

Uh-oh.

Aviva: Lion, plus rhino, plus
elephant added to an ostrich.

Yeeee...

Jimmy Z: Gonna be a doozy.

(zap - crackle)

Martin: Oh no.

(zap - crackle)

Oh, this is the craziest
power suit malfunction ever!

Ostrich: (hissing)

Martin: Aha!

♪ (funky chase music) ♪

You've never seen
anything like me before!

Ostrich: (hissing)

Not so fast bro. Gotcha!

Chris: I'm so glad
to see you Martin.

Martin: Then why are your
feet still running away?

Chris: Huh? Just ostrich
chick instinct I guess.

Martin: (laughter) Okay.

Bye ostriches!

We love you guys.

Chris: Keep on
creature adventuring.

Martin: We'll see ya
on the Creature trail.

Aviva: C'mon guys.
Quit fooling around.

Deactivate and
bring me the formula

so I can whip it together.

Chris: Yes. Oh, yeah,
the secret invention.

what is it?
Martin: I don't know.

Chris: We've got to find out.

Deactivate ostrich power.

Martin: Deactivate.
Whatever it is power.

(zap - crackle)

Yeah! And we've got it!

(kawoosh)

Aviva: Thanks for saving
the secret formula.

Martin: Oh yeah, we can hardly
wait to see your new invention.

Chris: Yeah, what is it Aviva?

Aviva: Whoever said it
was for an invention?

Jimmy Z: Huh?
Chris: What?

Martin: What?
Chris: No invention?

Koki: She never did
say "invention".

Aviva: Ta da.
My special pudding cups.

Chris: You mean the
secret formula was for...

a dessert ?

Martin: And not an invention?

Aviva: Not this time.

Everybody grab one.

Martin: Hmm, what, ugh?

And it is chocolate
pudding with blueberries!

Totally worth it.

Chris: You sure about that bro?

Martin: Yeah, I'm sure.

Chris: Hmmmm, so am I.

I am a little hungry from all
that creature adventuring.

Koki: Delicious.

Jimmy Z: Hmm, it sure is!

Aviva: Who wants seconds?

Chris: Me!
Martin: Me too!

All: (laughter)

(zap)

Martin: So ostrich
are one big bird

with all sorts of
creature powers.

Chris: Yeah, I'm not even sure

what my favorite
creature power is.

I love the eyeballs.

For their head size, ostriches
have the biggest eyeball

in the creature world.

And look, they have
an extra eyelid

called a nictitating eyelid.

They are clear eyelids
that move sideways

and act like windshield wipers

keeping dust and
sand out of their eye.

They also have
a super long neck

that they use to
periscope around

looking for any signs of danger.

Martin: Ostrich can turn
their heads degrees.

That means an ostrich can turn
its head all the way backwards.

Ostrich: (hissing)

Chris: Yeah, that really
is a creature power

because on the African savannah

where you have to look out
for danger and predators

like lions, it's
a great defence.

Martin, which is your favorite
ostrich creature power?

Martin: You know, I just
like how big they are.

Being a big bird like this,
there's a lot of predators

that can't even mess with you,
you're just too big and strong.

Oh yeah, these birds
are really big.

This is the size of
an average chicken.

This is me.

And here's the height
of an ostrich.

Like all birds,
ostrich lay eggs.

Here's a chicken egg

and this is an ostrich egg.

Whoa.

It's the biggest bird egg
in the creature world!

Martin: They all look
pretty much alike,

but you can tell the
males from the females.

See the red beak right
there, that's a male,

and the males have
black feathers.

Females have grayish brown
feathers and a black beak.

The beaks are great for
stripping leaves and vegetation

for the ostrich to eat,

...and for cleaning.

Ostrich are so amazing,

I could hang out with
these guys all day.

Chris: But it's
time to get rolling.

Keep on creature adventuring.

Martin: We'll see you
on the creature trail.
