03x24 - Golden Bamboo Lemur

[bunniefuu]

♪ Wild Kratts ♪

MARTIN:
Hey, we're in Africa!

Right off the coast
of the main continent

on a large island
called Madagascar.

Up here in the central
mountain highlands

in a habitat
called the Cloud Forest.

CHRIS:
It's us, the Kratt brothers!

I'm Chris!
I'm Martin!

Do you want to
meet an animal species

that science didn't
even know existed?

An animal that was
first discovered in the s?

Well that's
who we're looking for!

♪

(Martin gasping)

MARTIN:
Red-fronted brown lemurs.

That's the female.

Those are males with the
white fur on their heads.

CHRIS:
This species is
a little more common

than the extremely endangered
lemurs we're looking for.

To find this creature, we first
have to find a bamboo grove.

Hey, check it out!
Bamboo!

MARTIN:
This is where
the mystery lemur

we're looking
for will be hiding.

(Crunching)

Do you hear
that crunching sound?

Bamboo is hard and crunchy,

and bamboo is
what this animal eats.

MARTIN:
Whoa! There he is!

Oh, the golden bamboo lemur!

(Chirping)

MARTIN:
He's out collecting breakfast:

bamboo sh**t.

Bamboo, of course,

is the golden bamboo
lemur's favorite food.

Check out the color.

You can see how he got his name.

When the light
hits his fur just right,

it shines a golden color.

There are only about
, left in the wild.

They're very endangered.

They only live here,
in this small forest.

Imagine if we could help

the golden
bamboo lemur survive.

A new golden bamboo
lemur has been born!

She's still very young and
clinging to her mother's back.

Got it, yeah.

See what the
Wild Kratts are up to.

I can usually steal

PATRICIA:
There they are!

WILD KRATTS:
Wow!

The golden bamboo lemur.

One of the rarest animals
on the planet.

Nobody even knew they existed
until about years ago.

Really?
Yeah.

And then a pair

It was the discovery

A new golden

Oooh!

Aww!

I'll name you...
Gold Puff.

DONITA:
Freeze it.

I want that one!

That little golden monkey!

Uh, I think the
little girl said lemur.

Whatever. Fine.

This golden lemur is more
special than the monkey.

It will fit perfectly
with the golden dress

I'm wearing to the Golden
Fashion Forward Awards!

Full speed to Madagascar!

Yes, Donita!

I deserve to be dressed in gold.

(Donita laughing maniacally)

Oh, they are such
a quiet lemur, so secretive,

and that's why
for the longest time

no-one even knew
that they existed.

And check this out.

Millions of years ago,

the continents looked a little
different then they do today,

with lemur ancestors living
almost all over the world.

MARTIN:
They lived together with monkeys
on the continent of Africa.

But monkeys were
smarter and more aggressive,

and may have outcompeted them.

CHRIS:
Eventually, some lemur
ancestors made their way

to the island of Madagascar.

Here, the lemur ancestors

were free from monkeys
and other predators,

so they multiplied and evolved

into the many
different kinds of lemurs

on Madagascar today.

Oh, I know what we could do.

(Laughing)
What, Donita, what?

Get me my sewing kit
and some furry material.

Yes, Donita!

MARTIN:
And it's amazing
what they can eat.

Golden Bamboo lemurs
crunch through bamboo.

CHRIS:
And it's not only
really hard to chew,

but bamboo has a
poison called cyanide in it.

So how do they eat it?

Their stomachs and intestines
can somehow handle the poison.

(Dabio screaming)
(Wild Kratts gasping)

(Screeching)

Oh, monkey!

Monkey, monkey, monkey!

Ho, ho, ho!

Look at me! Monkey!

What in the
creature world is that?

I don't know, but it sure
doesn't look natural.

(Screeching)

That's no monkey!

That's Dabio,
in a monkey suit!

(Dabio chuckling)

Dabio, what are you doing?

Uh... oh!

I'm distracting you.

While I am grabbing this!
(Wild Kratts gasping)

(Laughing)

And now I'll give you a choice.

You can either
rescue this one,

or rescue all the
lemurs in Madagascar.

MARTIN AND CHRIS:
Huh?

What?
Dabio!

MARTIN AND CHRIS:
Oh, no!

Don't even
think about it, Donita!

Even you couldn't do that!

What are you going to do?

I heard what you said

about how monkeys replaced
lemurs throughout the world,

and that is exactly what
is now going to happen here!

I'm bringing
monkeys to Madagascar.

These monkeys will multiply

and drive all the
lemurs to extinction,

unless you stop it.

Un-suspend the animation and
release the monkeys!

Lemurs belong in Madagascar...

PATRICIA:
Bye, Wild Kratts!

Bamboo is a giant grass,

and is an important part of the
habitat of this Cloud Forest.

Bamboo are
vital for the survival

of the rare and endangered
golden bamboo lemur.

But it takes a special technique
to eat this tough grass.

See how he does it?

He bites it off
with his sharp teeth.

That's step number one.

Step number two:
he breaks the bamboo.

He goes along
the branch with his teeth,

chewing,

and then strips off
that hard outer layer,

exposing that
tender stuff inside.

And then, he just munches
on the tender stuff

like a piece of celery.

The bamboo that these
guys eat is full of cyanide,

which is a type of poison.

But the golden bamboo lemur
has a digestive system

that can deal with the poison,

and that's one of
their Creature Powers.

MARTIN:
And that is so amazing,

because the amount of cyanide

a golden bamboo lemur
eats in a single day

is enough to k*ll animals
of the same size.

But the golden bamboo
lemur survives.

Now, bamboo doesn't
look very tasty to me,

but it's such a
good food for lemurs.

So good, that there are two
other species of bamboo lemurs

in this forest who depend
on bamboo to survive.

The gentle bamboo lemur,
the smallest,

about the size
of a large squirrel.

He eats thin, vine-y bamboo.

And the greater bamboo lemur.

This bamboo-eating species
was once thought to be extinct,

but then was rediscovered.

It's the biggest bamboo lemur,

and there are very
few surviving today.

They eat a
special part of the bamboo

that other
bamboo lemurs can't get to.

CHRIS:
They have the power
in their jaws

to chew through the
big, thick woody st*lks

to get to
the tender stuff inside.

But it's tough work.

bamboo-eating lemurs!
