04x21 - The Mystery of the Two Horned Narwhal

[bunniefuu]

MARTIN:
Hey, we're here
in North America,

near the Arctic Circle,
in the middle of winter.

CHRIS:
In a habitat known

as the boreal forest.

MARTIN:
With a herd
of white-tailed deer.

It's us, the Kratt Brothers.

I'm Martin.
I'm Chris.

And we've got a creature
question for you.

A quiz of your knowledge
of creature headgear.

CHRIS:
Which is a tusk?

MARTIN:
Which is a horn?

CHRIS:
And which is an antler?

BOTH:
Yeah!

And here's a caribou,
with antlers.

I really like your antlers.

Caribou have cool antlers.

CHRIS:
Oh, yeah.

Antlers are a set
of creature headgear

that grows in every year,
and then falls off.

Each year, the set of antlers
grows in bigger.

Antlers grow on all members
of the deer family.

Like white-tailed deer,

elk,

and moose.

Now, horns don't fall off.

Horns are permanent.

They stay attached

and they keep growing
a little more every year,

and keep getting
bigger and bigger.

Musk oxen have horns growing out
of the top of their heads.

And so do bison.

And big-horned sheep.

And tusks don't grow
out of the top of the head.

Tusks are teeth, and they grow
out of the mouth.

And tusks just keep on
growing and growing.

Elephants,

walrus,

and warthogs
all have tusks.

Imagine if we could have
one of these creature headgear.

Imagine if we could have
the power of tusks,

horns or antlers.

BOTH:
What if?

(Martin reading onscreen text)

Oh, I'm ready. You ready?

CHRIS:
Oh, yeah, I'm ready.

Come on, Marty Moose,
let's see what you've got.

You can see.

Two palmated -point antlers

that are going to scoop you up
and flip you over.

Ha, unlikely.

Yeah? What's your play,
bison brother?

Two unbreakable horns
backed up by bison brawn.

Ha! Antlers are more awesome.

Horns are better.

Charge!

Charge!

Do I have
to remind you, bro,

that your antlers fall off
every year?

So the next year, they grow back
bigger and with more points.

What's your point?
Ha!

Horns always stay on,

and get a little bigger
every year.

(Grunting)
Uh-oh.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking, bro?

Yeah, I think I'm thinking
what you're thinking.

BOTH:
We're stuck!

Okay, okay, let's both pull
backwards on three.

BOTH:
One, two, three.

(Both straining)

Whoa!
Whoa!

Huh? Aww, I don't want
to play anymore.

Hey, get these antlers
off of me!

We moose shed
our antlers.

What can I say?

Deactivate.

(Grunting)

Oh.

Hey, guys.

Well, at least you showed us
the difference

between horns and antlers.

We did?
Yeah.

Horns are permanent
and keep growing.

Antlers are temporary.

They fall off and grow back
bigger the next year.

Yeah. We did.

Good job, bro.

Hey, Wild Kratts, look at this!

Your horn and antler skirmish
prompted a question.

Come see.

It's from Ronan, and he's got
a good one for you.

Hey, Wild Kratts,
I was just thinking

about the whale
with the horn.

What about him?

How come you've never had
an adventure with the narwhal?

What? We haven't?

No, we haven't.

Well, we've got to.

Narwhals!

That's today's creature mission:

to discover
the horned whale.

Whoa, whoa, wait.

That's a drawing.

Yeah, an imaginary
drawing.

(Laughing)

Yeah, let's not go
on a wild goose chase now.

What are you talking about?
Narwhals are real.

AVIVA:
What? Like a unicorn
of the ocean?

You've got to be kidding.

And those are just old drawings,
not photos.

Come on, I can't believe
a narwhal actually exists.

Wouldn't its horn get tangled up
in seaweed?

Good question.

And the only way
to answer your questions

is to fly to the Arctic
and find some narwhals.

KOKI:
Arctic?

We've got some Wild Kratts kids
up there.

Hi, Wild Kratts.

Hey, Nua. Have you ever seen
a whale with a horn?

Have you ever seen
a squirrel with a tail?

BOTH (Laughing):
Good one.

I've seen many narwhal.
They're called tuugaalik.

At this time of year,

many gather in the bay
not far from my village.

Okay, that settles it.
We've got to go, and now.

Jimmy?

Taking off.

I still have to see it
for myself.

Yeah, me too.

Me too.
Me too.

JIMMY:
Hey, what's that at o'clock?

MARTIN:
That could be a pod of narwhals.

And there could be about
in a group.

Maybe up to a hundred.

Jimmy, set the Tortuga down.

JIMMY:
You got it.

Hi, Wild Kratts.

Hey, Nua.
It's good to see you again.

Hi, Aviva.
Where are Martin and Chris?

MARTIN & CHRIS:
Whoo-hoo!

(Crashing)

Hey, Nua.

How's it going?

I'm good, because the narwhals
are right over there.

Look.

See any dorsal fins?

Nope, because narwhals
don't have them.

How about horns?

Not from here.

Let's get in there
and find out.

♪

A narwhal!

No horn.
Probably a female.

Yeah, since all males have them,
but hardly any females do.

Oh, yeah,
I know you know that.

I was just telling
my brother over there.

That'd be me.

Take us to your pod.

Ha-ha!

Any sign of a horn?

Nope, just a lot
of narwhals.

Well, we might be here
a while.

A narwhal can hold his breath
for minutes.

That's a lot longer
than we can.

Let's wait for them up top.

No horns yet, but check out
how narwhals breathe.

Yeah, that's a blowhole.

It's cool how it works, huh?

When the narwhal surfaces,
the blowhole opens.

Old air is pushed out.

CHRIS:
Then new air is breathed in.

(Laughing)

Blowholes blow me away.

(Laughing)

Yeah, but where is that
legendary narwhal horn?

BOTH:
Whoa.

We've got to get
to that horn.

Come on.

Pardon me.

Excuse me.

Coming through.

Need a little room here.

Coming through.

Excuse me.

Pardon me.

Whoa!

MARTIN:
Unbelievable!

It does exist.

(Laughing)

Told you.

The horned narwhal is...

AVIVA:
Increíble.

Incredible.

That horn is almost
feet long.

MARTIN:
It's almost as long
as the entire body.

(Laughing)

Wow.

Ow! Hey, little guy.

I'm saying that to a baby animal
the size of a couch.

(Laughing)

Hey, when is your horn
going to start to grow?

Okay, okay.

I'll think of a name
for you.

Hmm, let's see.

Look. Another narwhal horn.

They're facing off.

Whoa!
We've got a narwhal battle!

Oh, wow.

I've got to get to work
on this Creature Power Suit.

MARTIN:
That's what narwhals
use their horns for.

To battle for control
of the pod.

To be the top narwhal.

The narwhal is the only
type of whale,

dolphin or porpoise,
that has a horn.

MARTIN:
Oh, wow.

I can't wait to have
that creature power.

Oh, yeah!

Then we could battle
each other, bro.

CHRIS:
Aviva, please hurry programming
that narwhal power disc.

Okay, okay, hold your horses.

But you guys have to stop
rushing me.

If I rush too much,
I could make a mistake.

This is highly technical,
sophisticated programming.

It's not like
baking cupcakes.

(Oven dinging)
Oh, sorry, Jimmy.

Careful, Aviva,
or you might not get one.

Jimmy, set your cupcake timer
and get to the teleporter,

because here come
the narwhal power discs

hot off the power press.

What? Huh?

Aah!

Whoa!

Energize.

Whew, got 'em.

BOTH:
Yeah!

Oh, don't worry, buddy.

I'm still thinking
of just the right name for you.

But first, we have to...

BOTH:
Activate narwhal powers!

Awesome!
Awesome!

Aw, there's no horn.
Aw, there's no horn.

Que?

Aviva, there's no horn.

What are narwhal powers
without a horn?

How could you forget
the horn?

Maybe you guys
are baby narwhals.

They don't have horns either.

(Laughing)

I told you
not to rush me.

I thought the DNA
from the narwhal,

when you touched it,

would be sufficient
to grow the horn.

Apparently not.

Since the horn is such
a unique feature,

we should do more
investigations.

We have to look more closely
at the horn and at how it grows.

I need more data,

which means you guys have got
to get out there

and make some observations.

But it's going to be
so embarrassing

swimming with narwhals,

in narwhal power suits,
with no horns.

Deal with it.

BOTH:
Whoa!

(Laughing)

Good luck, Kratt Brothers.

Come on, bro,

Let's figure out the puzzle
of the narwhal horn.

Yeah, and get the info
that will grow horns

on our narwhal power suits.

Ah-ha! I had no problem
with the horns on my cupcakes.

(Sniffing)

Mmm, those smell good.

Aww, we're getting jostled
a lot.

That's what
I was saying.

In these narwhal
power suits,

as boy narwhals without horns,
we're not getting any respect.

Ow.

I think you're right, bro.

Hey, wait a second.

The horn isn't growing
out of the narwhal's forehead.

It's growing out
of the left side,

above his mouth.

Ow! This guy's too.

Right.

It's actually growing out
of the upper jaw

and protruding
through the skin.

It's a special tooth that grows
super-duper extra long.

So if a narwhal horn
is actually made of a tooth,

then this horn
is really a tusk.

Thank you. So that's where
the mistake was.

No wonder that horn activation
malfunctioned.

Because technically,
that horn isn't a horn at all.

It's a tooth! A tusk!

Of course. Tusks.

Tusks are teeth
that protrude from the mouth,

like walrus and warthogs.

Or through the cheeks,
like elephants and narwhals.

Where the tusk grows out of
the jaw through the cheek area

and out through the left side
of the narwhal's face.

This is exactly
what I needed to know.

MARTIN:
Soon we're going to have
a horn--

Oh, I mean tooth-- Tusk.

Tusk, tusk,
tusk, tusk, tusk.

Yeah, we've been calling it
the wrong thing the whole time.

We've got to remember
it's a tusk.

Tusk, tusk, tusk.

BOTH:
Tusk, tusk, tusk, tusk, tusk...

Oh! Hey! So how old
are you narwhals

when you grow
your tusk, anyway?

How old are you now?
About ?

Hey, what's this?

Whoa, your narwhal tusk
is growing.

(Laughing)

Congratulations!

I'm going to name you
Little Tusker.

Whoa, Little Tusker.

You are growing a tusk.

Awesome.

The narwhal power disc
is complete.

Thanks, Aviva.

Now that I have
the programming right,

the narwhal DNA
should direct a tusk

to grow from the left side
of your helmet.

Jimmy?

But I'm icing
the cupcakes.

Incoming.

Ah! Hold on.

Teleport.

(Groaning)

Out with the old.

In with the new.

Okay, Little Tusker,
let's try this again.

And hope we get
a tusk this time.

BOTH:
Reactivate narwhal powers.

Yes!
Whoo-hoo!

Now this feels right.

These are incredible.

And, you know,
now we can swim

through the narwhal pod
with lots of confidence.

And do you know
what else?

Oh, yeah, and we don't even
have to do

the-- "are you thinking
what I'm thinking?" thing,

because this is so obvious.

En garde!

Touché.

(Both laughing)

Wow, this is awesome!

Ha! Gotcha!

Take that.

Huh?

What's that?

I don't know. It looks like
an old Inuit carving

of a narwhal.

BOTH:
Two tusks?

This must be
make-believe.

A narwhal with two tusks?

Can this be true?

Wow!
Cool!

That is a beautiful
carving.

And you found it
at the bottom of the sea.

So it's a treasure.

But look closely.

Notice something
really cool about it?

ALL:
Two tusks!

But narwhals
only have one.

A two-tusked narwhal?

My grandfather talked of a very
rare narwhal with two tusks.

Did he ever see one?

I think he did.
He said so.

Sometimes these sculptures
have markings.

Like a signature.

There.

That's his marking.

My grandfather
made this!

ALL:
Whoa!

I can't believe you found
my grandfather's lost carving

of a two-tusked narwhal.

Thank you, Kratt Brothers.

Sure, Nua.
You're welcome.

No problem. I ill can't
believe we found it.

Your grandfather
was an amazing carver.

This is truly
a work of art.

You know what else
this means?

Uh-huh. There could be a real
two-horned narwhal

out there somewhere.

You thinking
what I'm thinking, bro?

I'm thinking there's no doubt
we're thinking the same thing.

Today's new
creature mission is

find the mysterious
two-tusked narwhal.

Why am I not surprised?

My grandfather told me
that they are very rare.

Only one in every
have two tusks.

Only one in every narwhals
have two tusks?

Considering that there were
two male narwhals in this pod...

Plus Little Tusker.

Oh, but he's not
full-grown yet.

And that each pod covers

thousands of miles
of open sea.

Oh, this mission of finding
a two-tusked narwhal

is going to be
a real challenge.

Finding a two-tusked narwhal
in the Arctic

is like finding a needle
in a haystack.

BOTH:
But we've got to try.

Okay, so how
do two tusks happen?

Hmmm, if the left tooth
of the narwhal

always grows into a tusk...

Then maybe sometimes,
in rare cases...

The right tooth of a narwhal
must grow as well.

That must be it.
That has to be it.

Uh... one other question.

Do you think these horns have
any defensive capabilities?

I don't know. Why?

Because there's an orca
right behind you!

Ah!

CHRIS:
There's no way a narwhal

can outswim an orca.

Orcas are too fast.

Take evasive maneuvers.

Look! A narwhal!

In there!

Whew!
Whew!

Whoa!
Whoa!

You know,
both orcas and narwhals

are technically
not whales.

They're actually porpoises.

But either way, they can't hold
their breath forever.

They have to come up
for air sometime.

Okay, now with narwhal powers,
we have enough air

to stay underwater
for about minutes.

CHRIS:
And the orca seems to know

that we narwhals can hold
our breath longer than an orca.

BOTH
Whew!

Whoa, a cave
in an iceberg.

Hey, let's see
where it goes.

BOTH:
Wow!

CHRIS:
What an awesome underwater cave!

(Loud trumpeting)
Huh?

What was that?

BOTH:
The two-tusked narwhal!

This is such a rare
and amazing creature.

And one of our
best discoveries yet.

A left and a right tusk.

Each must at least
feet long.

CHRIS:
He is old too.

Near the maximum age
of years old.

And no wonder
he's lived that long.

He knows the tricks
of survival.

Like how to avoid orcas.

He is one wise
old narwhal.

Little Tusker.

Hey, did you follow us?

That tusk.

If you're going
to bump me

don't bump me with the left side
that has the tusk.

Bump me with the right side,
the side with no tusk.

Ow!

I don't believe it.

This little guy
is a two-tusked narwhal!

(Laughing)

Amazing.

He was right in front of us
the whole time.

Yeah, but those little two nubs
aren't that obvious.

It'll take years to grow
into impressive tusks like that.

Now, of course, I've got
to rename you Two Tusker.

Come on, let's get back
to the surface

and show the others.

ALL:
Oh, wow.

Cool.

What a day.

Yeah, first we learn
that narwhals are real.

Then find my grandfather's
lost carving.

And then see an actual
two-tusked narwhal.

We've got to celebrate.

I'll get the cupcakes.

Hey, bro, if one out of
male narwhals have two tusks,

then if we activate our
Creature Powers Suits times,

we could get
two tusks too.

Reactivate.

Aww, still one tusk.

Hmm. Try again.

Reactivate.

Well, every time
we don't get two tusks,

our chances get better
the next time.

Reactivate.

Aww.

Reactivate.

CHRIS:
Reactivate.

Reactivate.

Aww.

CHRIS:
Reactivate.

Uh, this might take a while.

I'm glad we've got
cupcakes.

MARTIN:
Reactivate.

Reactivate.

Reactivate.

Reactivate.

Reactivate.

CHRIS:
Reactivate.

(Snoring)

Reactivate.

Reactivate.

Reactivate.

Finally! It worked!

Two tusks!

Yeah! You did it, bro!

(Laughing)

Keep going, bro. You got to be
close to by now.

Reactivate.

(Laughing)

Two tusks!

Two-tusked narwhal power!

Whoo-hoo!

(Both laughing)

Yeah!
Whoo!

MARTIN:
See you later, Two Tusker.

CHRIS:
See you soon, buddy!

(Both laughing)

Oh, now this is
a white-tailed deer,

with an impressive
rack of antlers there.

Look at those antlers.

One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven points.

The bucks use them
for fighting other bucks,

for mating rights.

And every year in the fall,
they battle and battle.

They have through the winter
these amazing antlers,

but then, sometime
in the winter, they fall off.

And then next summer,
the antlers start growing again.

This is a one-year-old buck.
See his little antlers?

That's his first
set of antlers.

And every year
that he grows new antlers,

they'll get bigger
and bigger and bigger

until, when he's an older male,
he's got a big rack.

And here's the doe.

A beautiful female deer,
but no antlers.

Does don't fight each other.

There's no reason
for them to have antlers.

So why put the energy
into growing

a new set of antlers
every year?

For bucks, though,
antlers are really important.

CHRIS:
Lots of antlers
in the caribou herd.

This is actually
a female caribou.

With caribou,
females have antlers too,

and their antlers will fall off
in the spring,

after they have
their babies.

Now check out
this caribou.

Where are the antlers?

This is actually
a male caribou

that has the greatest antlers
of all.

But they've fallen off.

They fall off
shortly after mating.

Musk ox have horns.

Horns that keep growing.

They get bigger and thicker
on the top every year.

And those horns are important,
because the male oxen have big,

ramming head battles.

Females have horns too,

and the females and the males
use the horns for defense.

And the defense
of the musk oxen is awesome,

because they form a ring,

horns facing outwards,

So any attacking wolves
have to meet horns

no matter what angle
they come in on.

Horns are an awesome
creature power.

Keep on creature
adventuring.

We'll see you
on the creature trail.
