01x30 - Kerhonk

[bunniefuu]

Hi, I'm Chris!

I'm Martin.

We're the Kratt brothers.

And we're here
with some lemurs,

a type of primate.

Primates include lemurs,
monkeys and apes.

Monkeys have the biggest group,
with over different kinds.

And there are some really
interesting-looking monkeys.

Come on, we'll show you!

This is
a cotton-topped tamarin,

my vote for one of
the coolest-looking monkeys

in the world!

Check out that crazy hairdo!

And that wise, chiseled face.

You are so cool!

I love how they have that white
hair on their eyebrows,

down their nose and even
on their cheeks and chin!

Where are you going?

Cotton-topped tamarins
are one of the smallest monkeys

in the world.

They weigh less than a pound,
about the size of a grapefruit.

And they're one of the most
endangered.

There are only a few
cotton-topped tamarins left

in the whole world!

The monkey world is full
of rare, strange-looking

and amazingly interesting
monkeys

that most people
don't even know about.

But why does
a cotton-topped tamarin--

or any of the other
strange-looking monkeys

of the world--

why do they look
the way they do?

Or make the special sounds
they make?

Trills, chirps, echoing calls.

(Chirping)

Imagine if we could get
inside the lives

of one of the strangest
of all monkeys.

And be able to have their
incredible creature powers.

BOTH:

Whoo-hoo!

Ha, ha, I love
the Borneo rainforest!

Check out this monkey move,
Martin!

Whoo-hoo, yeah!

Is that a long-tailed langur
leap, or what?

Nice!

How about this one?

Ahh, whoo-hoo!

I'm a pig-tailed macaque!

Whoa, wait, monkey dudes!

How many monkeys are there
around here anyway?

Well, besides us,

there's the maroon langur,
the gray langur,

and a pig-tailed,
snub-nosed monkey!

Whoo!

Uh-oh!

Whoa, sorry, guys!

Hey, I finished that disk from
the mystery hairs we found.

Cool!

Now if we only knew
what creature it was.

(Ker-honking sound)

What's that?

Huh, no idea!

But sounds like an adventure
is calling us, Chris!

Mystery sound,
here we come!

Here, take the disks.

You'll have to figure this one
out too.

Have a vine, dude!

Thanks, whoo-hoo!

(Ker-honking)

Hmm, that sounds like
some kind of frog to me.

I'm thinking monkey.

Uh-uh, bird.
It's got to be a bird.

We're getting closer
now, Chris.

Loading creature
sound-recognition feature.

(Buzzing)

No match!

This'll be a new creature
for our Life List!

Whoo-hoo!

Sounded like it was coming
from somewhere around here.

(Ker-honking)

(Gasping)

Unbelievable!

Seriously?

BOTH:
A proboscis monkey!

Well, we found who
was making that sound!

Mystery solved!

Told you it was a monkey!

Way to go, J.Z.

But that nose!

Didn't know he'd have
a giant nose.

He must have a serious cold!

I never knew a monkey like that
even existed!

He doesn't have a cold, Jimmy.

Proboscis monkeys have the
biggest nose of any monkey.

It doesn't seem real,
but it is.

Wish I had a nose
like that.

It's cool!

That's what I'll call you!

Schnozzle,
after that cool nose.

The question is,
what is that nose all about?

Why in the world would a monkey
need a nose like that?

One thing's for sure.

That nose doesn't slow you down!

Follow that monkey's nose!

Whoo-hoo!

You proboscis monkeys
are good in the trees!

Looks like there are monkeys
in this troop,

and Schnozzle's
the only adult male.

Everybody else is a female
or kid monkey.

Like this nosey young guy!

Hey, wait up, Nosey!

Hmm?

Not so fast, Schnozzle!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Ha, ha!

Ahhh!

Whoa!

Did you catch that move,
Schnozzle?

That-- ugh!

Hurts!

Ugh!
Oh!

(Sighing)

(Groaning)

Martin?

Chris?

Whoa!

(Screaming)

Ugh!

Bleh!

You find this pretty funny,
do you, Schnozzle?

(Laughing)

I think it's a pretty good
look for you guys!

And thanks for figuring out
that the mystery disks

are the proboscis monkey.

Oh, hello!

We're just wondering what
these noses are for.

Uh, hi there!

Hi!

Hey, Chris!

Suddenly we're pretty popular
around here!

Guys, I think you figured out
one thing those noses are for.

We did?

Yeah, the girl monkeys
like them!

You're right!

In nature, lots of animals
have certain features

that show off they're healthy
and strong!

Like male moose and deer.

They have big antlers to show
females that they're survivors.

For proboscis monkeys,
it's all about the nose.

The bigger and droopier
the nose, the better.

Grrr!

And I think I know someone
who's not happy

to have two more monkeys
in this troop!

We'd better deactivate.

Uh-oh, the mud jammed them up!

Uh, we better back off!

Sorry, gotta leap!

I've got to work on deactivation
programming for those suits.

The guys just got banished
from the troop!

That must mean
there's only one

male proboscis monkey
to a troop.

I wouldn't want to mess
with Schnozzle.

Guys, come on back!

Aviva's going to get those suits
repaired for you.

Be right there, Koki!

(Angry ker-honking)

What's going on?

It's not what's going;
it's what's coming!

A gharial crocodile!

Nosey, look out!

(Gasping)

Huh?

(Gasping)

Yes!
Schnozzle!

Schnozzle, you did it!

You're a hero!

What a rescue!

Oh, no, Schnozzle!
You okay?

He's hurt!

Schnozzle?

He's banged up
really badly.

We got to get him back
to the H.Q.

We can fix him
up there.

Uh-oh.

But the troop
depends on him.

I know, but we don't have
any choice!

Without Schnozzle,
who's going to be

the one and only adult male
of the troop?

I don't know!

Who's going to protect the troop
from predators like the gharial?

I don't know!

Who's going to be Schnozzle
while Schnozzle's gone?

I know!

What?

You are!

Me?

Hey, I know I like to monkey
around, but taking his place?

I have no idea what to do!

Oh, but the troop's
counting on you.

I'll be back in a flash!

Hang on, Schnozzle!

Uh, hmm...

Okay, I'll start with one
of those "ker-honk" sounds,

to show everybody
that I can do this.

(Inhaling)

Squeak!

Honk!

Oh, ha, ha!

That was my first try!

I'll get better, I hope!

We've got a proboscis monkey
that needs some help here!

Uh, which one?

Schnozzle!

He took a big fall.

Martin's keeping the troop
together

until this guy recovers.

We'll fix you up, Schnozzle.

Just relax.

You'll feel right at home
here in this tree.

Oh, he's a valuable monkey.

Proboscis monkeys are one of the
most endangered of all monkeys!

It says here that their forest
home was being cut down.

The forests where
proboscis monkeys live

are getting smaller
every year!

Wow, no wonder
they're endangered!

That's why we've got
to protect this troop!

Don't worry, Schnozzle.

We'll keep everybody safe
until you get back.

That's what happens when the
circuit board gets caked in mud.

I replaced it,
so your suit's good to go again.

Thanks!

I got get back out there,

and help Martin figure out
how to lead this troop!

We'll get Schnozzle back
on his feet as soon as we can.

Okay, so I guess we'll just eat
something right here!

Okay, everybody, dig in!

No?

Not these?

Ugh, bleh!

Chris, come in!

Go ahead, Martin!

I'm in way over my head.

Everybody thinks I know what I'm
doing, but I don't!

Neither do I, but I'm with
the troop just up-river.

Over here!

This big guy'll know
what to do.

I'll just keep an eye on him!

Great, and I'll just do
whatever he does.

So, what's he doing now?

Wait, where'd he go?

Ahh!

Found him!

Whoa, easy, dude!

(Growling)

It's a challenge!

You got to defend
Schnozzle's territory,

or other monkeys will try
to take it over.

I know, but he's tough!

(Roaring)

Okay, I'll do it for Schnozzle!

Argh, the shake and grimace!

And the ker-honk!

(Feeble honking sound)

Uh-oh!

Martin,
you've got to scare him off!

I know, I just can't get
the nose to work right!

(Honking)

Yeah, that'll show you!

Ha, ha, way to go, Martin!

But you really need to work
on that ker-honk.

Tell me about it!

I hope Schnozzle's better soon!

Amazing!

Give me a little ker-honk,
Schnozzle.

(Ker-honking)

Hey, easy, Schnozz!

I'm just passing through.

Just what I thought!

His nose is
a resonating chamber!

A reso-what?

I'll stick to calling it
a nose.

A resonating chamber!

(Strumming guitar)

See, when I strum a guitar
like this,

the sound coming
from the strings

bounces around
inside the guitar,

making it nice and loud.

It's the same
with Schnozzle's nose.

He makes a sound, and the sound
bounces around in his big nose,

making it louder.

That's another reason his nose
is so huge!

Cool!

Okay, this should help him
get his strength back.

I've got the proboscis monkey's
favorite leaves!

Wow, this monkey has one strange
feature after another.

He's got a bowling ball
in there?

No, he has stomachs!

Leaves are super-hard
to digest,

so the proboscis monkey
has stomach chambers

that the leaves pass through.

Each one digests the leaves
a little bit more.

That way, the monkey can eat
even the toughest leaves.

What?

stomachs full of leaves?

If I had stomachs,
I'd use one for hamburgers,

one for milkshakes, one
for pickles and one for pizza!

Huh?

Hmm, I get it.

He's like a big guard watching
over the troop.

Chris, what's going on
over there?

He's watching over--
(Growling)

What's that?

Something's spooking them!

What?

You're spooking me!

(Rustling)

A clouded leopard!

You didn't say
clouded leopard, did you?

Yeah, she's hunting the monkeys.

A top monkey predator,
and guess what, Martin?

More good news?

Looks like that's your main job!

You're the guard of the troop!

The males watch out for danger,
while everyone else eats.

Just use your nose to give
the alarm call

if you see a predator!

Except for one little problem!

What?

I still don't have
the nose alarm down!

Well, you better
get it down fast,

because that leopard
just disappeared.

I lost track of him!

Okay, don't worry, Nosey.

I'm on the look-out.

I wish a clouded leopard
was easier to see.

He could be anywhere
with that camouflage!

He'll just blend right in
with the shadowy forest!

Better practice the alarm call,
just in case.

(Squeaking)

Oh!

What kind of proboscis monkey

has a squeaky toy
for an alarm call?

Oh!

Huh?

Ahh-- ahh-- ahh--

(Ker-honking sound)

Sorry, false alarm!

(Growling)

Whoa!

It was there the whole time!

(Growling)

Whew!

Oh, thanks, Nosey!

That's one way
to get my nose working!

(Rustling)

Ahh!

It's just me!

Quick, you got to move
the troop!

To where?

Back to the river!

That's where they sleep.

All the other proboscis monkey
troops are there already.

It's the safest place to be
at night.

Okay, everybody,
to the river!

I'll go ahead,
and scout for predators.

All clear straight ahead,
Martin.

Bring 'em through!

Ow, scratch that!

Serpent eagle alert!

With super-sharp talons, ow!

Uh-oh, that's a monkey eater!

Don't mind if I borrow this,
do you, Nosey?

Ahh-- ahh-- ahh--

(Ker-honking sound)

Everybody, head this way!

Looks good up here,
Martin.

No sign of predators.

Strange vine!

Whoa!

Ugh!

On second thought,
python alert!

Ahh-- ahh-- ahh--

(Ker-honking sound)

To the left, everybody!

No python's going to eat us
in one gulp!

Ahh, the riverbank!

(Groaning)

We made it!

Told you we'd get you here!

Everybody's safe and sound.

(Sighing)

Sorry it took all night.

MARTIN:
Yeah, and you know,
it won't happen again.

Now we know, sleep at the river.

That way, predators
like clouded leopards and snakes

can't approach you
from behind, right?

So, you forgive us?

Hmm, uh-oh!

They're deserting us!
Wait!

No, no, you got to stay here
until Schnozzle gets back!

BOTH:
Please, give us another chance!

What is going on?

Why would the monkeys be leaping
into the water like this?

I don't know,

but if they're going in,
then I am too!

Please, come back!

Chris, ha, ha!

I can't believe it!

These monkeys,
they swim like pros!

And guess what?

We even have webbed feet!

A monkey with webbed feet!

And they're more comfortable
in the water

than any monkey in the world!

And that's another reason
they sleep near the water.

They can easily jump in
to escape predators

if they need to, ha, ha!

CHRIS:
But right now,
they're not escaping anything.

They're crossing
for some other reason,

and we got to know why!

Wait, come back!

Uh, oh, Martin!

Gharial, to the left!

(Gasping)

There are predators
in this river,

so they wouldn't be crossing

unless it was for something
really important.

We got to make sure
they make it!

Swim!

Everybody,
do your best monkey paddle!

Where is it?
Where is it?

(Gasping)

Hurry, Nosey!

Oh, alarm call,
please don't fail me now!

(Ker-honking)

I did it!

I did the ker-honk, ha, ha!

Hang on, Nosey,
it's going to be close!

Where is it?
Where is it?

Got it! Crocodile!

And a gharial
is a type of crocodile.

I hope it works!

Activate Creature Power Suit!

Carnivore to the herbivore
rescue!

Ahh, ugh!

Hey, now there's one carnivore
I love to see!

Nice one, bro!

Right back at you!

Awesome ker-honk!

Let's hear that again.

It'd be a pleasure.

(Ker-honking)

Huh, I did it!

I am officially a proboscis
monkey with a full ker-honk!

Ha, ha!

Just a little too late.

Look, the monkeys are gone!

Oh, no!

We let the troop down!

I let Schnozzle down!

We lost his troop!

Hi, guys.

Aviva, we messed up.

The troop lost faith in us.

They're gone!

Schnozzle's going to be
so sad!

Well, he might be happier
than you think.

(Monkeys chattering)

MARTIN AND CHRIS:
Schnozzle!

He's feeling all better,
so I brought him back.

But I must have gotten
turned around,

and ended up on the wrong side
of the river.

So, that's why all the monkeys
crossed the river!

They heard Schnozzle's call!

You do that ker-honk
best, Schnozzle!

And they all know it!

But did you see how I really had
it down at the end there,

when the gharial came?

Huh?

Mission accomplished!

We kept Schnozzle's troop
together, and got him back home!

And we found out why proboscis
monkeys have such big noses.

Great job filling in
for Schnozzle, Martin!

Thanks!

I'll never forget how important
proboscis monkeys' noses are!

Not only do they look good
to the other proboscis monkeys,

but they make that
all-important alarm call,

which I mastered,
by the way.

The most beautiful face
in the world

for any troop
of proboscis monkeys!

Hmm, not bad for
a Kratt brother, either!

(Laughing)

Proboscis monkeys and
cotton-topped tamarins

are some of the most unusual
monkeys in the world.

And we know that different
animals have different features

to tell things to other members
of the group.

So then, what's with
the crazy hairdo?

We might be able to show you

if we hang out with them
for a while,

and get to know them better.

First off, cotton-topped
tamarins live in groups.

This, right here, is the female,
and the male's back there.

Oh, there he goes!

And we'll just be a couple more
tamarins in the group!

Now, just like proboscis
monkey's big nose,

that crazy hairdo
is partly a sign,

telling other members
of the group

that that tamarin
is healthy and strong.

But just like
the proboscis monkey's nose

is also about communication,

there's probably more to
the cotton-topped tamarin's

crazy hairdo
than just one thing.

It's lunchtime for us
cotton-tops.

Maybe we can find out more
about their behavior

by eating with them!

Cotton-topped tamarins love
to eat fruit and insects.

I got a green grape
and a red grape.

Which do you want?

Goes for the red grape!

They get most of their water
from the fruit they eat.

How about you?

Which do you like better?

Green or red?

Green!

Look at those little hands, how
they can grab onto that fruit.

They don't have opposable thumbs
like we do,

or like other apes do.

But their hands can still grab
by folding like that.

(Squeaking)

Listen to those sounds.

Like other groups of animals,

communication
is really important

to cotton-topped tamarins.

Cotton-topped tamarins have
about different kinds

of contact calls
that keep the group together.

Alarm calls that warn everybody
of danger.

Danger, hmm!

This is a Colombian
boa constrictor,

one of the cotton-topped
tamarin's worst enemies!

They're wary, but they're not
on full red alert.

Because if they were,

that crazy hairdo they have
would be standing up on end,

making them look twice as big
as they really are.

Let's get this guy out of here!

And that's the other reason

for the crazy hairdo
of the cotton-topped tamarin.

Fruit?

Yeah, sure!

We'll see you
on the creature trail!

Keep on creature adventuring!

BOTH:
We'll see you there!
