PBS KIDS OPENS WORLDS OF

POSSIBILITIES FOR ALL CHILDREN.

THANKS TO PBS STATIONS

AND VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

Wild Kratts!

CHRIS:

We're here in eastern

North America

on the coast

of the Atlantic Ocean.

MARTIN:

At the Woods Hole

Oceanographic Institution,

aboard the research

vessel Atlantis.

It's us, the Kratt Brothers.

I'm Martin.

I'm Chris, and here at the Woods

Hole Oceanographic Institution,

some really important work

is being done.

You see, we humans

know quite a bit

about creatures of

the African savannah.

And we know a lot

about the animals

of the temperate forests.

We even know pretty much

about the creatures

of the rainforests.

And a whole lot about

the coral reefs.

But there's one habitat's

creatures

that humans know

very little about.

Almost nothing really.

And that habitat is

called the deep sea.

Part of the reason is because

it's really hard to get to.

We're just not built for it.

So just like space travel,

we need an awesome,

state of the art deep sea vessel

like this one.

This is Alvin.

Alvin can travel to the

deepest parts of the sea.

It's like another planet,

filled with darkness, hot black

smokers, and volcanic action.

MARTIN:

And when you do get down there

and shed light

on this mysterious,

deep sea creature world,

scientists are

discovering life forms

that we never even knew existed.

CHRIS:

Animals that can do

amazing things

and that have strange and

incredible creature powers.

Imagine if we could discover

the strange creatures

and creature powers

of the deep sea.

BOTH:

What if?

On adventure with

the coolest creatures

From the oceans

to the trees

The Brothers Kratt are going

places you never get to see

Hanging with

their creature friends

Get ready, it's the hour

We're gonna save

some animals today with

Creature Power

Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts

Gonna go wild, wild,

Wild Kratts

(Wild Kratts)

Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts

Gonna go wild, wild, wild

Cheetah speed

and lizard glide

Falcon flight

and lion pride

Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts

Gonna go wild, wild,

Wild Kratts

(Wild Kratts)

Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts

Gonna go wild, wild,

Wild Kratts

Go wild, wild, Wild Kratts

(Muffled grunting)

That's 50 feet, Martin!

A pretty good dive.

(Muffled grunting)

For a human.

But for a sea creature like you,

it's like baby stuff.

(Gasping)

Well, good one, bro!

Aw, but my ears were hurting.

The pressure down

there is crazy.

You made it pretty deep.

See, to about here.

But the ocean's about

three miles deep.

So you'd need to dive

at least 40 skyscrapers more

to get to the bottom.

Are you kidding?

That's impossible.

For us maybe,

but not for sea creatures!

Yeah, you'd need some

serious creature powers

to get down there.

AVIVA:

Hermanos!

It's ready! Come on!

It's time!

Aww, this is it!

Get ready for

an epic journey,

a voyage to a new frontier,

a place where people

have hardly even gone before.

It's mysterious and full

of undiscovered creatures.

We're in!

Lay it on us!

Yeah, maybe I'll

pass on this one.

Okay, we've had problems

reaching the

deep sea before, right?

Uh-huh, yeah.

The Amphisub couldn't

handle the water pressure

in the whale and

squid adventure...

That was close.

And our adventure was cut short

because of power problems

in the yeti crab adventure.

Almost didn't

get out of that one.

Well, we've solved all that.

Koki and I used all

that we've learned

and have come up with

something that we think

can get us to the deepest

depths of the ocean.

And stay there for a while.

Oh, boy!

Oh, yeah!

It's a dream come true!

Let's see it!

Show us!

Show us!

We've been waiting

for this moment!

I haven't.

Okay, so now...

we present to you,

the latest

in deep sea technology,

a vessel that will take us where

no human has gone before...

BOTH:

Ta-da!

Wow!

Wow!

CHRIS:

Do you know what this means?

Finally we just might be

able to discover a new species.

Maybe two or three!

With new creature powers that

no one ever knew even existed!

BOTH:

It's one of

our lifetime dreams!

I'll be monitoring our depth

and charting the unknown

territory for science.

I can't wait to see

how our new invention

holds up

on her maiden voyage.

I'll have to find

a name for her too.

And I'll stay up here

and wish you guys luck.

(Sighing)

AVIVA:

Sorry, Jimmy.

You're driving.

We need everybody

on this adventure

and you're a valuable

part of the team.

Aww. Why do I have

to be so loved?

You're a top notch pilot.

I just hope we

make it back alive.

So is everybody ready to go?

BOTH:

To the deep sea!

(All cheering)

Ha! No one will

have seen me out here.

Now let's try this thing out.

I don't know why I didn't

think of this before.

If the deep sea has so many

undiscovered creatures,

I need to be the first

one to lay claim to it.

This Varmitech Industries sub

will get me there

before anybody else.

Well, it better anyway.

I had to give Zach a certificate

for a lifetime supply

of deep sea cuisine for it.

(Snapping)

But the rest of

those creatures are all mine.

(Chuckling)

Now on to my own

personal deep sea cupboard!

(Chuckling)

KOKI:

Okay, we're passing

the 650 foot mark.

Entering the Twilight Zone,

where only faint amounts

of sunlight can reach down

and the pressure would crush

a person into a human pancake.

Love pancakes,

but not human pancakes.

Whoa! That's weird!

Ah! An alien fish!

New species?!

New species?!

A barreleye!

A barreleye!

Not a new species,

but only recently discovered.

AVIVA:

It has a see-though head!

JIMMY:

Exactly, just like an alien.

Why does it have that?

Hey, let's get out there.

We gotta see what

that head is all about.

Okay, thanks to

my new technology,

I think I can

get you out there.

CHRIS:

Great!

What technology?

AVIVA:

Deep sea fish have a special

kind of fat in their cells

that miraculously keeps

them from getting crushed.

I developed a similar

technology for this ship.

And I also updated the Amphisub.

You can use that

for exploratory missions.

Yeah!

Whoa!

All right!

Wahoo!

Ready to deploy.

Cool. This docking port has

miniaturizing capability.

BOTH:

Miniaturize!

Hello, barreleye.

Is he looking at us?

I don't know.

What are those green

cylinders all about?

Whoa! They're eyes.

Now he's looking at us!

He can look straight up

through the top of his head

or straight to

the front! Weird.

And cool.

Oh yeah, and those black things

are actually his nostrils--

for smelling.

So Crazy Eyes, what's up?

Why are you

always looking up?

CHRIS:

He looks up into the light.

Jellyfish!

BOTH:

Whoa!

Oh, wow!

The jellyfish caught

some little copepods

in his tentacles,

and now our barreleye

is darting in

and stealing the little snacks.

Some of the weirdest

swivel eyes in nature,

but they work for this guy.

Let's swivel,

barreleye style!

Wahoo! Swivel up. Swivel back,

up, back, up, back!

A little less swivel, bro!
