07x03 - Race to Goat Mountain

[bunniefuu]

♪ Wild Kratts!

Martin: On planet Earth,

there are over , mammal species,

including humans!

Hey, it's us, the Kratt Brothers!

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

and we're looking for a farm

to find an animal with a lot of wild relatives.

♪♪

Martin/Chris: Goats!

[baaaaa]

Martin: Hey guys!

[laughter]

They're great climbers...

Chris: ...and jumpers!

♪♪

Martin: Look at these eyes!

A goat has rectangular pupils.

And the eyes are on the side of the head to help spot predators.

Chris: Those hooves are so cool.

Two toes and they're really good at grabbing onto uneven surfaces

like this old log.

That's one of the creature powers

that makes them great at climbing.

Martin: They're very agile, they will even play

in trees and on cliffs.

Chris: They're also very curious

and they like to nibble on things like my sweater,

but they nibble really gently.

And now, nibbling on the wood.

Goats are known to eat all kinds of things.

They like to check things out with their mouths.

Martin: What...eh!

I'm not edible!...Hey!

Chris: Whoaa, nice jump!

Oh, but right at the top there's a head-butter.

They kind of play king of the mountain.

They like high spots, and if anybody comes

and encroaches on their high spot,

they give them a head-butt.

Martin: Those little goats have such great agility, huh?

Chris: Yeah, they're great climbers!

Martin: Oh, with those hooves that grab!

Chris: And how 'bout those eyes?

Martin: Oh, they are really cool.

Imagine if we had goat powers!

Martin/Chris: What if?

Koki: What in the creature world?

Martin: That's the head-butting power of the bighorn sheep.

Aviva: THAT is going to make

a great Creature Power Suit.

Chris: We've got a bighorn battle going down!

First the two rams face off,

sizing each other up.

Will either back down?

Martin: Doesn't look like it, Chris.

They rise-up, quick step forward and--

Martin: Wow! Chris: Yeah!

Aviva: I've gotta get programming!

Koki: I'll help you!

Send us observations, bros.

Jimmy Z: Why don't they get a headache?

Chris: Bighorns have double-layer skulls,

with spongy bone in between them.

This absorbs the impact

and protects the bighorn's brain. See?

Koki: Thank you.

Aviva will need that information.

Chris: Hey!

Martin: It's for science, bro.

What I love about bighorns is they are a gentle creature

with a powerful creature...

Chris: It's really amazing.

Those horns are so heavy!

One horn weighs pounds.

Both horns make up over % of the entire body weight.

Martin: They have to be really strong

to carry those big horns around,

let alone bang heads.

[gasps] I've got it!

Chris: Got what?

Could be one of my best namings.

Chris: Stop!

Paisley! Not you again!

This is a wild place!

Martin: A bighorn battle meadow.

Chris: No developing allowed!

Paisley: Yeah yeah, heard it all before.

[yawns]Ooh, nature is so precious.

What do they call this mountain?

Martin: It's called Goat Mountain! And--

Paisley: Goat Mountain?

Named after these?!

Chris: No these are sheep. Bighorn sheep.

Paisley: So, what's the diff?!

Chris: Well the horns for one.

Bighorn sheep have way bigger horns, that curl downwards.

They use those in their bighorn battles.

Mountain goats have smaller horns, that point upwards.

These sheep are more muscular,

have brown coats and white rumps.

Mountain goats are way shaggier

and have fun little beards.

Paisley: And I care because...?

Martin: It's named Goat Mountain because of the mountain goats

who live near the tops.

They're awesome!

See? These are the mountain goats who live on Goat Mountain.

Chris: And he's browsing on leaves.

What a climber.

Paisley: Goat Mountain?

Puh-lease!! Needs a better name.

The goats have to leave,

and after I pave my way to the top--

[snap-snap]

I will rename it...

"Asphalt Ascent".

Martin: That's a terrible name!

Chris: And this would destroy the homes of all the animals,

and ruin the entire mountain ecosystem!

[bam!] Martin: Good job, Big!

[chuckles]

Paisley: You think that will stop me?

Chris: Wait a sec! Paisley Paver!

I challenge you to a race to the top of Goat Mountain!

Whoever gets to the peak first,

decides the future of the mountain ecosystem.

Do you accept the challenge?

Paisley: Yes! I accept.

What are the rules?

Chris: Okay, the rules are,

one, Paisley can use her machines.

Two, Martin and I can use creature powers!

Paisley: creature powers okay, but no machines.

And no flying in your Turtle ship.

Chris: No flying for either side.

Tortuga is grounded, but our Wild Kratts crew

can help remotely.

Paisley: Agreed. It's a deal!

Martin: We've got ourselves a race!

Chris: A race to Goat Mountain!

Martin: Huddle up for race strategy.

Alright bro, you are the climbing brother,

so you've gotta go for it.

I'll try to slow down Paisley and her pavers.

Chris: Okay, if you buy me some time,

I'll make it to the top first.

Chris is moving quickly through the foothills now.

Staying focused.

Even amazing animals along the way won't distract him.

Aviva: While Paisley Paver makes slow but steady progress.

Jimmy Z: Martin in an impressive new Bighorn Power Suit

takes up the rear.

Martin: Bighorn sheep aren't the fastest.

We run around miles per hour.

Uh-oh!

Just fast enough to run to rocky hillsides

to escape predators.

And this kind of boulder bounding ability is just

what I need to catch up with--

[motors humming] Paisley Paver!

Eww, gross!

Destroying nature in their path.

Gotta stop that.

Bighorn sheep don't really use their horns

for defense or att*ck.

But I can!

Uuh! [LOUD cr*ck!]

Paisley: Forward! Pave on!

Koki: Bighorn Powers prove effective against paverbots.

Aviva: Oh, but Paisley undeterred, presses on.

and arrived in the Mountain zone.

That's right! Isn't it Mountain zone?

Stop Paisley! Your paving machines are no match

for bighorn sheep power!

A bighorn sheep butts heads hundreds of times

in one battle season.

with bighorn head butting power.

Aviva: But Paisley rolls onwards and upwards.

with the headgear of a Bighorn sheep!

Koki: Okay, now this is the moment where Martin

can take out Paisley Paver's machine advantage.

Aviva: Ensuring Chris a relaxed climb to victory!

foothills and lower cliffs.

My bighorn powers can't climb this kind of rugged steepness.

and two hoof halves

grab like...a hand!

Aviva: [laughter] I'm getting this.

Keep the observations coming, Martin.

Martin: You got it.

Chris: It's getting harder and harder to climb,

just tiny little crevices.

My hands can't handle it.

Paisley: That's why I'm creating a smooth path to progress.

Paving new roads is always better.

Nice to meet you!

Chris: Living free and in the wild!

Martin: Oh, these guys are great.

Oooh! [laughs]

Almost got butted off the log here, there you go.

Yeah, these, they're great goats.

Chris: Sheep!

Martin: Goat antelopes, whoa, stay there. [laughs]

Chris: Can get kind of confusing, which is which.

Martin: Oh yeah, and we're going to go over the differences.

All these animals, goats, sheep,

antelopes, goat antelopes,

they all have horns.

Domestic goats have long thin horns,

but bighorn sheep have incredible horns.

Curling horns that the males use to battle each other

in amazing head butting contests.

No, I don't have horns.

Yours are growing.

Chris: Antelopes live all over the world,

but we've seen lots of different kinds in Africa.

There you'll find more than species of antelope.

Most, with very unique horns.

Like the sable, with its razor-sharp horns.

Or the kudu, with amazing spirally horns.

Then there's the impala,

who's horns point outwards.

Martin: What sets the antelope apart from goats and sheep

is their speed.

They are among the fastest creatures on the planet.

And then, there's the goat antelope, is very unique.

Only a few species, including the Rocky Mountain goat.

Living way up high in the Rocky Mountains,

they're incredible climbers.

They climb rocky cliffs.

They escape from predators by-- [chuckles]

by scuttling up the cliffs.

The Rocky Mountain goat,

the ultimate rock climber.

Chris: So goats, sheep,

antelope and goat antelope

are all part of the same family.

Bovidae.

Those are some great members of the Bovidae family!

Martin: Oh yeah, and there are some many more out there

in the creature world to get to know.

Chris: Keep on creature adventuring!

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