Transcript: Fire Salamander
Music plays as the Wild Kratts logo pops up and a voice says Wild Kratts!
Then, a globe spins and the Kratts brothers appear in the middle of a forest. Chris wears a green shirt and Martin wears a blue shirt.
Martin says WE'RE HERE IN
THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.
Chris says AND MUCH OF
THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
IS COVERED IN WOODLANDS.
Martin says AND THIS
IS WHERE WE ARE
CREATURE ADVENTURING TODAY!
IT'S US, THE KRATT BROTHERS!
Chris says I'M CHRIS.
Martin says I'M MARTIN.
AND WE'RE HERE IN
THIS MATURE FOREST.
IT'S DARK AND COOL DOWN HERE
BECAUSE THE CANOPY OF
LEAVES BLOCKS OUT THE SUN.
Chris says DOWN HERE IS THE PERFECT HOME
FOR LOTS OF ANIMALS,
INCLUDING SALAMANDERS.
Martin says BUT EVEN THIS ISN'T COOL, WET,
OR DARK ENOUGH FOR SALAMANDERS.
Chris says THAT'S WHY THEY
LIVE UNDERGROUND.
Martin says UNDER DEAD TREES.
Chris says UNDER ROCKS.
M moves a log and says LET'S TRY THIS ONE.
Chris says OH YES!
OVER HERE!
OH WOW!
THESE ARE SPOTTED SALAMANDERS.
He holds a tiny black reptile with yellow spots and says SEE?
THEY'RE BLACK,
WITH YELLOW SPOTS.
Martin says OH YEAH, AND THAT'S
HOW THEY GOT THEIR NAME,
SPOTTED SALAMANDERS.
NOW THESE SALAMANDERS ARE
MEMBERS OF THE AMBYSTOMA GENUS,
WHICH INCLUDES
SPOTTED SALAMANDERS,
AND MARBLE SALAMANDERS,
AND TIGER SALAMANDERS!
Pictures of marble and tiger salamanders appear.
Martin says THESE YOUNG SALAMANDERS,
JUST RECENTLY TRANSFORMED INTO
THEIR ADULT SALAMANDER FORM.
THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE SALAMANDER
IS REALLY COOL.
MOST SALAMANDERS START
OUT WITH THE ADULTS
LAYING EGGS IN TEMPORARY
POOLS IN THE FOREST.
Chris says AND THEN,
THOSE EGGS HATCH INTO
LARVAL SALAMANDERS.
THOSE LARVAL SALAMANDERS HAVE
GILLS AND LIVE IN THE WATER,
UNTIL THE GILLS DISAPPEAR,
AND THEY GROW LEGS.
AND THEN,
THOSE SALAMANDERS
CRAWL OUT OF THE WATER,
AND START LIFE UNDERGROUND.
IMAGINE IF WE COULD CRAWL INTO
THE WORLD OF THE SALAMANDERS.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE HAD
SALAMANDER POWERS.
They both jump and say WHAT IF?
The brothers jump and turn into cartoons. In animation, a paw print appears, followed by a map, and then the brothers swim under the sea and swing from jungle vines.
A song plays and says 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! GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD!
Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z send them creature disks from Tortuga, the ship. The brothers place the disks in their suits and morph into superheroes with animal legs and wings. Then, they run, swim and fly with animals in the wild.
The song continues
CHEETAH SPEED AND LIZARD GLIDE, FALCON FLIGHT AND LION PRIDE, GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS! GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS. GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS!
The name of the episode appears. It reads "Fire Salamander."
In the forest at night, Martin says OH OH I CAN SEE WHY IN GERMANY,
THEY CALL IT THE BLACK FOREST.
IT'S DARK.
Chris says AND IT'S COOL!
DELIGHTFULLY CREEPY.
AND I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND
SOME COOL ANIMALS TOMORROW.
Martin says YEAH, WHAT KIND
OF COOL ANIMALS
LIVE IN THE BLACK FOREST?
I DON'T KNOW,
Chris says BUT SPEAKING OF COOL,
I'M GETTIN' COLD.
TIME TO LIGHT A FIRE
AND SET UP CAMP.
Martin says OKAY.
I'LL SET UP CAMP,
AND WHY DON'T YOU COLLECT
WOOD FOR THE FIRE?
Chris says SURE!
Martin takes a tiny box of his backpack and drops it on the ground.
It expands into a tent and hits Chris.
Chris says REALLY?
(LAUGHING)
Martin says HEY!
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
WEREN'T YOU GONNA GET
SOME WOOD? (LAUGHING)
He takes a lasso and brings a log.
(WHIP CRACKING)
(LOG CRACKING)
Chris says THERE.
Martin says GREAT!
SO LET'S GET THIS FIRE STARTED.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(FIRE CRACKLING)
With his hands close to the fire, Chris says AH, THAT'S BETTER.
Martin says WHOA!
AND SO IS THE BLACK FOREST!
Chris says YEAH, LOOK AT
ALL THOSE SHADOWS.
Martin says IT'S LIKE THERE'S STRANGE
CREATURES DANCING IN THE TREES.
Chris says YEAH, THIS PLACE
IS REALLY (GULPS)
COOL.
Martin says YEAH,
THIS IS FUN.
(SPOOKY MUSIC)
Chris gasps and says SOMETHING'S CRAWLING
OUT OF THE FIRE!
(SCREAMS)
Martin says WHOA!
They fall backwards.
Chris says WHAT IS IT?
Martin says CRAWLING OUT OF THE FIRE?
Chris says YEAH, GO LOOK.
Martin says NO, YOU GO LOOK.
Chris says NO, YOU LOOK FIRST.
Martin says UH, LET'S LOOK TOGETHER.
OKAY.
They say ONE,
TWO,
THREE,
LOOK!
Martin says HUH?
A SALAMANDER?
Chris says FROM OUT OF THE FIRE?
Martin says MUST BE A FIRE SALAMANDER!
I READ ABOUT THEM
IN AN ANCIENT TEXT,
THAT I THINK I HAVE
IN MY BACKPACK.
HERE.
Chris says WHAT?
YOU CARRY AROUND ANCIENT TEXTS?
Martin says YEAH!
DOESN'T EVERYBODY?
WHERE IS IT?
A HA!
THE FIRE SALAMANDER.
BORN IN THE FIRE,
THE SALAMANDER IS CREATED
FROM BURNING WOOD,
AND IT'S SKIN IS UNHARMED
BY THE HOTTEST FLAME.
Chris says HE LOOKS ALL RIGHT TO ME.
HE'S NOT BURNED,
BUT HE CAME OUT OF THE FIRE.
Martin says YEAH.
WELL, THAT MAKES
NAMIN' THIS GUY EASY.
I'LL CALL YOU, FLAME.
M grabs another one and ays OH.
THIS GUY, HI.
YOUR NAME IS SPARKER.
Chris says THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
OKAY.
THE SCIENTIFIC NAME
FOR THIS SPECIES IS
SALAMANDRA SALAMANDRA,
AKA THE FIRE SALAMANDER.
Martin gasps and says CAN YOU IMAGINE
A CREATURE POWER SUIT
THAT MADE US IMMUNE TO FIRE?
They say WHOA.
Chris says HEY AVIVA,
I KNOW IT SOUNDS TOO
WEIRD TO BE TRUE,
Martin says BUT THERE IS THE
FIRE SALAMANDER,
Chris says THAT APPEARS OUT
OF BURNING LOGS!
Martin says AND IS IMMUNE TO FIRE.
Aviva says HUH?
Aviva, Jimmy and Koki says WOW!
Aviva says I'M GETTING STARTED ON
THIS UNBELIEVABLE FIRE PROOF
CREATURE POWER,
LIKE NOW!
She sits at the computer and says NOW, WHAT'S YOUR SECRET?
On his plane, Donita says DABIO, I'M FEELING
CREATIVELY BLOCKED.
Dabio says OH, I HEAR
SOMETHING GOOD DONITA.
MARTIN AND CHRIS HAVE FOUND
A BLACK AND YELLOW SALAMANDER
THAT WALKS THROUGH FIRE.
(GASPS) IT DOESN'T BURN!
Donita says WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
Dabio says LIKE THIS.
Donita says STRIKING PATTERNS!
YES!
YES!
YES!
IT'S COMING TO ME!
Dabio says WHAT DONITA?
Donita says I, DONITA DONATA,
IN A BLACK AND YELLOW BODYSUIT,
ENTER THE RUNWAY,
WALKING THROUGH A WALL OF FIRE,
UNBURNED, UNHARMED!
WHAT AN ENTRANCE THAT WOULD BE!
Dabio says OH.
YES!
Donita says YES.
THAT'S MY ENTRANCE.
NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS COLLECT 1,000 FIRE
SALAMANDER SKINS,
AND SEW THEM TOGETHER INTO MY
FIREPROOF SALAMANDER BODYSUIT.
I'LL BE DAZZLING!
DABIO, DROP EVERYTHING.
WE NEED TO GET TO GERMANY
AND COLLECT FIRE SALAMANDERS.
AND MARTINO AND CRISTOBAL
HAVE LED US RIGHT TO THEM.
(LAUGHING)
THEY LED US RIGHT
TO THEM! (LAUGHING)
YEAH (LAUGHING).
(BOTH LAUGHING)
In the forest, Martin says WOW.
A SALAMANDER THAT CAN
WALK THROUGH FIRE.
Chris says WAIT A SECOND,
HOLD IT.
THIS GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING
WE KNOW ABOUT SALAMANDERS.
SALAMANDERS NEED
WATER TO SURVIVE.
Martin says OH, THANKS FOR
THE REMINDER BRO.
AND YOU'RE RIGHT.
SALAMANDERS ARE AMPHIBIANS.
LIKE MOST AMPHIBIANS,
A SALAMANDER'S SKIN
ALWAYS HAS TO STAY WET.
WHETHER IT'S A
SPOTTED SALAMANDER,
A MARBLED SALAMANDER,
OR A TIGER SALAMANDER.
THE ONE THING THAT ALL
SALAMANDERS HAVE IN COMMON,
IS THAT THEIR SKIN HAS
TO STAY COOL AND WET.
Chris says YEAH.
FEEL HIS SKIN.
MOIST AND COOL.
Martin says VERY COOL.
HOW COULD THEY BE
BORN OUT OF FIRE?
SALAMANDERS ARE VERY
SENSITIVE TO HEAT.
I MEAN,
HOW COULD THESE SALAMANDERS
POSSIBLY BE FIREPROOF?
Chris says WE'VE GOTTA FIND OUT ABOUT
THIS SALAMANDER'S LIFE CYCLE,
AND CRACK THE MYSTERY
OF THE FIRE SALAMANDER.
The brothers watch the salamanders.
Martin says HM.
WELL I THINK WE'RE
GONNA DISCOVER
WHAT FIRE SALAMANDERS EAT.
Chris says HE'S HUNTING.
The salamander snatches a snail.
They both say WHOA!
Chris says SALAMANDERS HAVE
PREDATORY POWERS.
THEY HAVE SPECIAL
TEETH THAT HOLD,
BUT DON'T CHEW.
Martin says GRAB AND GULP.
THAT'S THE SALAMANDER
HUNTING STYLE.
WHAT'S THIS OTHER
GUY GOIN' AFTER?
Chris says LET'S SEE.
Martin says OH, IT'S A SPIDER!
WHOA!
DID YOU SEE THAT?
Chris says OH YEAH.
HE ATE A SPIDER!
Martin says YEAH!
AND DID YOU SEE HOW HE
USED HIS EYES TO SWALLOW?
Chris says EYES TO SWALLOW?
Aviva says A SALAMANDER USES HIS
EYEBALLS TO SWALLOW.
Chris says HIS EYEBALLS?
Martin says YEAH, WATCH THE EYEBALLS.
Chris says WOW.
I NEED TO RECORD THIS!
Martin says SEE?
PUSHING THE WORM DOWN
WITH HIS EYEBALLS.
Chris says GOT IT!
LET'S GO TO THE
X-RAY INSTANT REPLAY,
TO SEE IF WE'RE RIGHT.
Martin says NICE.
Chris plays the video and says THE SALAMANDER
SHOOTS OUT HIS TONGUE,
WHICH IS STICKY,
AND GRABS THE WORM.
Martin says WHOA,
IN A HALF A SECOND.
WE NEEDED INSTANT
REPLAY TO EVEN SEE THAT!
THEN, HE HOLDS THE WORM
WITH VOMERINE TEETH.
Chris says VOMERINE TEETH?
Martin says YOU KNOW, THOSE BONY TEETH
ON THE ROOF OF THE MOUTH.
Chris says YEAH, VOMERINE
TEETH HOLD THE WORM,
BUT NO CHEWING.
THEN THE EYE MUSCLES PULL
THE EYES INTO THE HEAD,
AND THE EYEBALLS PUSH THE WORM
DOWN THE SALAMANDER'S THROAT.
Martin says EYE-MAZING!
Chris says YOU MEAN, AMAZING.
Martin says NO.
EYE-MAZING!
THAT IS ONE EYE-MAZING ABILITY.
Chris says OH, I GET IT.
(LAUGHING)
Martin says OKAY, IT WASN'T THAT FUNNY.
NO!
SOMETHING IS TICKLING ME.
(LAUGHING)
A hedgehog climbs up Chris’s back.
Martin says THE EUROPEAN HEDGEHOG!
(LAUGHING)
Chris says HEY BUDDY!
Martin says OH.
SHE'S GOT HER EYE ON
THE FIRE SALAMANDER.
Chris says UH OH.
HEDGEHOGS ARE CUTE,
BUT THEY'RE LITTLE PREDATORS.
Martin says DOES A FIRE SALAMANDER
HAVE ANY DEFENSES?
Chris says RECORDING.
(GASPS)
Martin says THAT SALAMANDER DID SOMETHING!
Chris says OH, WHAT HAPPENED?
Martin says LET'S GO TO THE
INSTANT REPLAY.
OKAY LOOK.
THE SALAMANDER'S
FLEXING HIS SKIN
AND GLANDS BEHIND HIS NECK.
Chris says THERE'S A
SUBSTANCE COMING OUT.
SPRAYING INTO THE
HEDGEHOG'S FACE!
Martin says MUST BE A POISON!
BECAUSE THE HEDGEHOG
DOESN'T LIKE IT.
THE HEDGEHOG GOT OUTTA THERE.
Chris says AND THE
SALAMANDER IS SAFE.
Martin says THAT'S AN AWESOME
CHEMICAL DEFENSE!
At the Tortuga, Aviva says GREAT OBSERVATION GUYS.
AND I'M PUTTING THAT POWER
INTO THE FIRE
SALAMANDER POWER SUIT.
HOW ABOUT THE FIREPROOF POWER?
Chris says NOTHING YET.
Martin says YEAH, STILL DON'T KNOW.
HOW CAN THEY BE
BORN OUT OF FIRE?
Chris says GOOD QUESTION.
OKAY, LET'S REVIEW WHAT
WE KNOW ABOUT SALAMANDERS.
THE STANDARD CYCLE
OF SALAMANDERS.
EGGS ARE LAID IN THE WATER.
A series of pictures appear on a screen.
Martin says LARVAE
HATCH IN THE WATER,
AND BREATHE THROUGH
EXTERNAL GILLS.
SEE THOSE FAN LIKE
THINGS ON THEIR HEADS?
Chris says THEN, THEY
MORPH INTO ADULTS,
AND COME OUT ON LAND.
SOME SALAMANDERS HAVE
VARIATIONS TO THIS,
BUT THERE'S ONE THING
THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON.
Martin says I'M THINKIN' WHAT
YOU'RE THINKIN'.
Chris says YOU THINK?
Martin says YEAH, THE EGGS HAVE
TO STAY COOL AND WET.
THE LARVAE HAVE TO
STAY COOL AND WET.
AND THE ADULT
SALAMANDERS HAVE TO STAY
COOL AND WET!
Chris says THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
They high-five.
Martin says THEY'RE FROM WATER.
IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
THAT THESE FIRE SALAMANDERS
SUPPOSEDLY GENERATED FROM FIRE.
WHAT IS GOIN' ON?
Aviva says HM.
YEAH, AND I'M HAVING TROUBLE
FINDING ANY FIRE RESISTANCE
IN ANIMALS.
TREES, YES.
BUT I'M DEFINITELY NOT
FINDING IT FOR AMPHIBIANS.
Jimmy says YOU GUYS CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT?
NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL!
Koki says IT REALLY IS A MYSTERY!
(ROCK MUSIC)
Meanwhile, Donita says IS THE FIRE BEAM
INSTALLED AND WORKING?
Dabio says UH, I THINK SO.
The beam burns down a rack of clothes.
(EXPLOSION)
Donita gasps and says WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Dabio says UH, TESTING?
Donita says NOT IN THE PLANE!
UH!
YOU ARE SO LUCKY THOSE
WERE LAST YEAR'S FASHIONS.
ARE WE IN GERMANY YET?
Dabio gasps and says OH! HEY!
I SEE THE BLACK FOREST!
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
In the forest, Chris says WELL, LET'S BACK IT UP.
ONE, WE TOOK LOGS THAT WE
FOUND ON THE FOREST FLOOR.
AND TWO, WE PUT
THEM IN THE FIRE.
AND THEN THREE,
A FIRE SALAMANDER
CRAWLED OUT OF THE FIRE.
Martin says HEY, LET'S TAKE A
CLOSER LOOK AT THE LOGS.
Chris says HM.
HEY!
AND MOIST!
A salamander crawls out of a crack in the log.
Martin says OF COURSE!
THE FIRE SALAMANDERS WERE
HIDING IN THE COOL, WET WOOD!
Chris says WHEN THE WOOD WAS
PUT IN THE FIRE,
THEY CRAWLED OUT OF THE FIRE
TO GET AWAY FROM THE HEAT!
Martin says THESE SALAMANDERS
DON'T LIKE FIRE AT ALL!
Chris says AVIVA.
CANCEL THE FIREPROOF FIRE
SALAMANDER POWER SUIT.
Aviva says WHY?
Martin says WELL, THESE
SALAMANDERS ARE COOL,
BUT THEY JUST DON'T HAVE
FIREPROOF CREATURE POWERS.
Chris says I'M SURE THEY HAVE OTHER
COOL CREATURE POWERS, THOUGH.
Martin says YEAH.
I MEAN, LOOK HOW HE PROTECTED
HIMSELF FROM THE HEDGEHOG.
Donita and Dabio come along in her flying pink scooter.
Donita says CLEAR OUT, KRATTS!
They both yell and say DONITA!
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' HERE?
Donita says ALL YOU HAVE TO KNOW,
IS IF YOU GET IN MY WAY,
YOU'LL GET BURNED.
(LAUGHING)
They run as Donita tries to hit them with the beam.
Martin says DOES ANY ANIMAL HAVE
FIRE RESISTANT POWERS?
Chris says I WISH!
WE COULD REALLY
USE THAT POWER NOW!
(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHING)
Martin says DONITA, STOP!
YOU'RE GOING TO BURN
THE FOREST DOWN!
Donita says WHO CARES ABOUT THE FOREST?
WHAT I WANT,
ARE THOSE FIRE
SALAMANDER'S SKINS.
Martin says WHAT?
Chris says WHY?
C says I WILL SEW THOSE FIRE
RESISTANT SALAMANDER SKINS
INTO A FIREPROOF SUIT,
AND MAKE MY ENTRANCE AT THE
FANTASTIC FROGS FASHION SHOW,
WALKING THROUGH A WALL OF FIRE.
Martin says OKAY, OKAY,
I THINK THE HEAT
IS GETTING TO YOU.
THESE ARE LIVING CREATURES.
Chris says THESE SALAMANDERS NEED
THEIR SKIN TO SURVIVE!
Donita says I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.
FASHION FIRST!
AND THIS YEAR,
(YELL)
Donita says FIRE'S IN!
He starts sucking up the salamanders with the scooter’s vacuum.
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Chris says SPARKER!
Martin says FLAME!
DONITA STOP!
Donita says NEVER!
AIM THE FIRE BEAM THERE, DABIO.
THOSE FIRE SALAMANDERS ARE MINE!
(LAUGHING)
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Chris says OH NO.
WE'VE GOTTA SAVE THEM!
TO THE CREATURE RESCUE!
A running tiger knocks them down.
(YELL)
Martin says WHAT?
THE CREATURES ARE RUNNING
AWAY FROM THE FIRE!
Chris says YEAH.
ALL THE OTHER ANIMALS
ARE IN DANGER, TOO!
THEY KNOW THEY'VE
GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE.
Martin says IF THE WIND BLOWS,
THE EMBERS WILL HIT THE
TREES AND START A FIRE.
(WIND BLOWING)
Chris says FIRE!
WE'VE GOTTA PUT IT OUT!
I'LL GO AFTER DONITA!
Martin says I'LL PUT OUT THE FIRE!
Chris says TO THE CREATURE RESCUE!
Martin goes through his backpack and says WHERE'S THAT WATER BLASTER?
A HA!
He puts down the fires and says ALL RIGHT!
YEAH!
YES, I DID IT!
The wind blows and rekindles the fire.
(EXPLOSION)
Martin says WHOA!
OH NO!
I'M EMPTY!
HELP!
(YELLS)
AVIVA.
KOKI, JIMMY, COME IN!
I NEED MORE WATER!
They say WATER?
Martin says DONITA'S STARTING FIRES,
AND I NEED A LOT OF WATER,
AND FAST!
Aviva gasps and says DONITA!
KOKI, ENGAGE
FIREFIGHTING PROTOCOL.
Koki says ON IT!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
The Tortuga lifts off and flies to the lake to suck up water.
(WATER SPLASHING)
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Koki says CONVERT LEGS INTO
WATER BLASTERS!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
ENGAGE!
DEPLOY WATER BLASTERS!
They spray water over the fire and also over Martin.
(WATER SPRAYING)
Martin chuckles and says THANKS GUYS.
FIRE'S OUT.
Aviva says AWESOME MARTIN!
Martin says AND I GOT A SHOWER, TOO!
NOW WE GOTTA FIND CHRIS.
HE WENT AFTER DONITA.
Aviva says I'LL SCAN THE TREETOPS.
HM, I DON'T SEE HIM.
Martin climbs up a tree and says GOTTA GET HIGHER!
(GRUNTING)
NOTHIN'.
SEE ANYTHING, AVIVA?
Aviva says NOT YET.
She gasps and says THERE!
HE'S HANGING ON TO
DONITA'S SCOOTER!
UH OH!
DONITA SPOTTED HIM!
Martin says WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
Aviva says HE'S BEEN POSE BEAMED!
(PLANE FLIES OFF)
Aviva says THEY’RE TAKING HIM TO HER PLANE!
WE'VE GOTTA CATCH THEM!
Martin says HEY AVIVA,
DO YOU HAVE YOUR CREATURE
POWER VEST HANDY?
Aviva says RIGHT HERE.
FEEL LIKE ACTIVATING
A FAST FLYING POWER?
CAUSE HERE'S A NEST
OF PEREGRINE FALCONS.
Aviva says YOU DON'T HAVE
TO ASK ME TWICE.
Aviva puts on the vest and jumps off the Tortuga.
(ROCK MUSIC)
Aviva and Martin hold discs and say INSERT PEREGRINE FALCON DISK.
TOUCH PEREGRINE FALCON!
ACTIVATE PEREGRINE
FALCON POWERS!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
They both morph into falcons.
Martin says TO THE...
Aviva says OH!
I WANNA SAY IT!
Martin says ALL YOURS.
Aviva says TO THE CREATURE RESCUE!
Martin says AND THE CHRIS RESCUE!
(LAUGHING)
Aviva says I LOVE FLYING
FAST WITH FALCON POWERS!
In the plane, Donita says PUT HIM OVER THERE DABIO.
The pose beamed Chris falls forward.
(LAUGHING, GRUNTING)
(HUMMING)
(CACKLING)
Donita says I LIKE THIS
CRISTOBAL MUCH BETTER.
QUIET,
AND HE DOESN'T INTERFERE.
DABIO, GET THE SKINS
OFF THOSE SALAMANDERS.
Dabio says UH, THAT SOUNDS
KINDA MEAN, DONITA.
Donita says MEAN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
Dabio says UH, NOTHING DONITA.
Donita says GOOD.
THEN GET ME THE SKINS.
I'M STARTING UP
THE SEWING MACHINE.
AND SOON,
I WILL BE STYLING IN MY NEW
FIREPROOF FIRE SALAMANDER
BODYSUIT (LAUGHING).
IT'S GONNA LOOK SO GOOD.
(LAUGHING)
Dabio says HOW DO I DO IT?
HOW DO I DO IT?
Chris mumbles.
(DABIO CLEARS THROAT)
Dabio says 'SCUSE ME,
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GET
THE SALAMANDER SKINS OFF?
(MUMBLING)
Dabio says OH, UH, OKAY.
I'LL UNPOSE BEAM
YOU FOR A MINUTE,
BUT NO FUNNY BUSINESS.
(BUTTON BEEPING)
Chris says THANKS DABIO,
YOU'RE A GOOD GUY.
Dabio says HOW DO I GET THEIR SKINS OFF?
Chris says UH, EASY.
JUST PUT THEM IN WATER!
Dabio says OH!
OKAY.
(GOOFY MUSIC)
Dabio puts the salamanders in a large fish tank.
(WATER SPLASHING)
Dabio says OKAY, NOW WHAT?
Chris says UH, JUST WATCH AND WAIT.
YEAH, SEE HOW THEIR FRONT
LEGS SWING BY THEIR SIDE,
AND THEIR BACK LEGS HANG BACK?
THEN THEY USE THEIR TAILS
LIKE A PADDLE TO SWIM.
Dabio says OH, THEY SWIM!
BUT WHEN DO THEIR
SKINS FALL OFF?
Chris giggles and says UH, JUST KEEP WATCHING.
SOON, THEY'LL SWIM RIGHT
OUT OF THEIR SKINS.
WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE.
Dabio says OH!
(ROCK MUSIC)
Aviva says DONITA'S
PLANE IS FAST!
Martin says OUR PEREGRINE FALCON
POWERS ARE FASTER!
OKAY AVIVA,
GET READY TO STOOP!
Aviva says STOOP?
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
Martin says OH STOOP?
TO STOOP,
YOU JUST TUCK IN YOUR WINGS,
AND DIVE,
LIKE THIS!
THIS IS HOW A FALCON HITS TOP
SPEED OF 300 KILOMETERS
PER HOUR!
Aviva says OKAY.
STOOP!
In the plane, Dabio says OH,
THEY'RE PRETTY SWIMMERS.
Chris says I KNOW.
AREN'T THEY COOL TO LOOK AT?
Dabio says YEAH (GIGGLING).
Donita says DABIO, WHY IS CHRIS FREE?
AND, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHY ARE THOSE
SALAMANDERS SWIMMING?
WHY DO THEY STILL
HAVE THEIR SKINS!
Martin flies in and says BECAUSE THEY NEED THEM,
MORE THAN YOU DO!
Aviva says SALAMANDER SKINS
BELONG TO SALAMANDERS!
Chris says LIVING FREE AND IN THE WILD!
Dabio says YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT
WHEN YOU BEAT US.
Donita says DABIO, WATCH CHRIS.
WE'RE NOT BEATEN YET.
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Donita presses a button and 3 mannequins appear.
Donita says MANNEQUINS, ATTACK!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Martin says WHOO! MISSED ME!
Aviva says TOO SLOW!
Martin says I'M FALCON FAST!
Chris says WHOO!
YOUR MANNEQUINS CAN'T
CATCH THEM, DONITA!
Donita says DON'T DISTRACT ME!
MANNEQUIN, BAG HIM!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Chris says I'M NOT GROCERIES.
HEY, YOU CAN'T BAG ME!
LET ME GO!
Chris ducks down and the mannequin bags Dabio.
(GRUNTING)
(MUMBLING)
Dabio says IT'S DARK IN HERE!
HELLO?
(YELLING)
Chris says LET'S GET YOU GUYS HOME!
Martin says THESE
MANNEQUINS DON'T GIVE UP!
Aviva says I KNOW!
ANY IDEAS?
Donita says YOU MISSED AGAIN!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Martin says WHEN WE SWING PAST,
YOU TAKE OUT MY MANNEQUIN,
AND I'LL TAKE OUT YOURS!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Aviva says OKAY!
Martin says WE'LL HAVE
TO HELP CHRIS, TOO.
Donita says GIVE UP YET?
Martin says DON'T THINK SO.
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Chris puts the salamanders in a bag.
(GRUNTING AND GROANING)
Martin says READY, AVIVA?
Aviva says READY!
They both say ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
They fly towards one another and the mannequins follow them. They deviate their course and the mannequins crash.
(MANNEQUINS CRASH)
Martin tosses the mannequins to Donita and says YEAH!
WHOO!
Donita ducks down and screams.
Chris says HUH?
(MANNEQUINS CRASH)
Donita says DABIO!
Dabio comes out of the bag and says YES, DONITA?
Donita says PUT THE MANNEQUINS
BACK TOGETHER.
THE WILD KRATTS
ARE GETTING AWAY!
Chris says MARTIN!
AVIVA!
I'VE GOT THE SALAMANDERS!
TAKE THEM BACK TO
THE BLACK FOREST!
Aviva says GOT 'EM!
Martin says GOT 'EM!
Chris says YEAH!
HEY!
WHAT ABOUT ME?
Martin comes back and says SORRY BRO!
HOP ON!
Chris says THANKS!
Donita says UH, DABIO!
Dabio tries to reassemble the mannequins and says THAT GOES HERE.
NO NO.
THAT GOES THERE.
Donita says WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Dabio says HUH?
Martin says THAT DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT.
Donita gasps and says NO!
MY SALAMANDERS ARE GONE!
Martin says SAVIN' THE PLANET
WITH CREATURE POWER!
Chris says ONE SPECIES AT A TIME!
In the forest, Aviva says THERE YOU GO, LITTLE GUYS.
Koki says TIME TO GO HOME.
Martin says BACK TO THE SAFETY
OF THE FOREST.
They all say LIVING FREE
AND IN THE WILD!
Now the show goes back to real life.
The Kratt brothers walk in a forest.
Martin says OH YEAH,
THERE ARE A LOT OF AMAZING
SALAMANDERS AROUND THE WORLD.
ABOUT 686 SPECIES.
MOST OF THEM LIVING IN
THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.
Chris says LIKE, CHECK OUT THIS MEMBER
OF THE SALAMANDER FAMILY.
IT'S A FULLY AQUATIC ONE.
THIS IS A SPANISH RIBBED NEWT,
AND IT HAS A REALLY
COOL CREATURE POWER.
WHEN A PREDATOR GRABS THEM,
THEY EXPAND THEIR RIBS,
AND THEY CAN PUSH THEM
RIGHT THROUGH THEIR SKIN,
DELIVERING A POISON
INTO THE PREDATOR.
(LAUGHING)
AND CHECK OUT HIS FACE.
THAT IS ONE CUTE FACE.
Martin says HEY, AND YOU WANNA SEE
ANOTHER SALAMANDER WITH A COOL
CREATURE POWER?
CHECK THIS OUT.
UNDER THIS WET MOSS IS,
He gasps and says A FIRE SALAMANDER.
WOW (LAUGHING).
LOOK AT THOSE BRIGHT
YELLOW MARKINGS, HUH?
THEY'RE ADVERTISING THE
POISON OF THE FIRE SALAMANDER,
BECAUSE RIGHT BEHIND
THE SALAMANDER'S EYES,
THERE ARE THESE GLANDS
ABOVE THIS CHEEK,
AND THEY HAVE POISON IN THEM.
IF A PREDATOR TRIES TO
GRAB THE FIRE SALAMANDER,
THE POISON RELEASES.
THE FIRE SALAMANDER CAN
EVEN SHOOT THE POISON
AT THE PREDATOR!
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
SALAMANDERS ARE AMAZING ANIMALS
WITH SUPER CREATURE POWERS.
Chris says AND THESE EXAMPLES JUST
SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF THE
SALAMANDER WORLD.
Martin says ALL RIGHT.
NOW LET'S GET OUR TWO YOUNG
SPOTTED SALAMANDERS BACK HOME.
Chris says LIVING FREE,
AND IN THE WILD.
SO HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT.
WHAT YOU DON'T WANNA DO,
IS PUT THE SALAMANDERS
DOWN FIRST.
Martin says AND THEN PUT THE LOG DOWN,
BECAUSE YOU COULD
ACCIDENTALLY CRUSH THEM.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS FIRST
PUT THE LOG BACK IN PLACE.
Chris says AND THEN,
PUT YOUR SALAMANDERS
DOWN NEAR THE LOG,
THAT'S THE WAY THEY
SAFELY RETURN TO THEIR
UNDERGROUND HOME.
Martin says THERE ARE SO MANY AWESOME
KINDS OF SALAMANDERS!
Chris says AND SO MANY SECRETS
IN THE SALAMANDER WORLD.
They both say I LOVE SALAMANDERS!
(LAUGHING)
Chris says KEEP ON CREATURE ADVENTURING!
Martin says WE'LL SEE YA ON
THE CREATURE TRAIL!
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Then, a globe spins and the Kratts brothers appear in the middle of a forest. Chris wears a green shirt and Martin wears a blue shirt.
Martin says WE'RE HERE IN
THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.
Chris says AND MUCH OF
THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
IS COVERED IN WOODLANDS.
Martin says AND THIS
IS WHERE WE ARE
CREATURE ADVENTURING TODAY!
IT'S US, THE KRATT BROTHERS!
Chris says I'M CHRIS.
Martin says I'M MARTIN.
AND WE'RE HERE IN
THIS MATURE FOREST.
IT'S DARK AND COOL DOWN HERE
BECAUSE THE CANOPY OF
LEAVES BLOCKS OUT THE SUN.
Chris says DOWN HERE IS THE PERFECT HOME
FOR LOTS OF ANIMALS,
INCLUDING SALAMANDERS.
Martin says BUT EVEN THIS ISN'T COOL, WET,
OR DARK ENOUGH FOR SALAMANDERS.
Chris says THAT'S WHY THEY
LIVE UNDERGROUND.
Martin says UNDER DEAD TREES.
Chris says UNDER ROCKS.
M moves a log and says LET'S TRY THIS ONE.
Chris says OH YES!
OVER HERE!
OH WOW!
THESE ARE SPOTTED SALAMANDERS.
He holds a tiny black reptile with yellow spots and says SEE?
THEY'RE BLACK,
WITH YELLOW SPOTS.
Martin says OH YEAH, AND THAT'S
HOW THEY GOT THEIR NAME,
SPOTTED SALAMANDERS.
NOW THESE SALAMANDERS ARE
MEMBERS OF THE AMBYSTOMA GENUS,
WHICH INCLUDES
SPOTTED SALAMANDERS,
AND MARBLE SALAMANDERS,
AND TIGER SALAMANDERS!
Pictures of marble and tiger salamanders appear.
Martin says THESE YOUNG SALAMANDERS,
JUST RECENTLY TRANSFORMED INTO
THEIR ADULT SALAMANDER FORM.
THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE SALAMANDER
IS REALLY COOL.
MOST SALAMANDERS START
OUT WITH THE ADULTS
LAYING EGGS IN TEMPORARY
POOLS IN THE FOREST.
Chris says AND THEN,
THOSE EGGS HATCH INTO
LARVAL SALAMANDERS.
THOSE LARVAL SALAMANDERS HAVE
GILLS AND LIVE IN THE WATER,
UNTIL THE GILLS DISAPPEAR,
AND THEY GROW LEGS.
AND THEN,
THOSE SALAMANDERS
CRAWL OUT OF THE WATER,
AND START LIFE UNDERGROUND.
IMAGINE IF WE COULD CRAWL INTO
THE WORLD OF THE SALAMANDERS.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE HAD
SALAMANDER POWERS.
They both jump and say WHAT IF?
The brothers jump and turn into cartoons. In animation, a paw print appears, followed by a map, and then the brothers swim under the sea and swing from jungle vines.
A song plays and says 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! GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD!
Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z send them creature disks from Tortuga, the ship. The brothers place the disks in their suits and morph into superheroes with animal legs and wings. Then, they run, swim and fly with animals in the wild.
The song continues
CHEETAH SPEED AND LIZARD GLIDE, FALCON FLIGHT AND LION PRIDE, GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS! GONNA GO WILD, WILD KRATTS, GONNA GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS. GO WILD, WILD, WILD KRATTS!
The name of the episode appears. It reads "Fire Salamander."
In the forest at night, Martin says OH OH I CAN SEE WHY IN GERMANY,
THEY CALL IT THE BLACK FOREST.
IT'S DARK.
Chris says AND IT'S COOL!
DELIGHTFULLY CREEPY.
AND I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND
SOME COOL ANIMALS TOMORROW.
Martin says YEAH, WHAT KIND
OF COOL ANIMALS
LIVE IN THE BLACK FOREST?
I DON'T KNOW,
Chris says BUT SPEAKING OF COOL,
I'M GETTIN' COLD.
TIME TO LIGHT A FIRE
AND SET UP CAMP.
Martin says OKAY.
I'LL SET UP CAMP,
AND WHY DON'T YOU COLLECT
WOOD FOR THE FIRE?
Chris says SURE!
Martin takes a tiny box of his backpack and drops it on the ground.
It expands into a tent and hits Chris.
Chris says REALLY?
(LAUGHING)
Martin says HEY!
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
WEREN'T YOU GONNA GET
SOME WOOD? (LAUGHING)
He takes a lasso and brings a log.
(WHIP CRACKING)
(LOG CRACKING)
Chris says THERE.
Martin says GREAT!
SO LET'S GET THIS FIRE STARTED.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(FIRE CRACKLING)
With his hands close to the fire, Chris says AH, THAT'S BETTER.
Martin says WHOA!
AND SO IS THE BLACK FOREST!
Chris says YEAH, LOOK AT
ALL THOSE SHADOWS.
Martin says IT'S LIKE THERE'S STRANGE
CREATURES DANCING IN THE TREES.
Chris says YEAH, THIS PLACE
IS REALLY (GULPS)
COOL.
Martin says YEAH,
THIS IS FUN.
(SPOOKY MUSIC)
Chris gasps and says SOMETHING'S CRAWLING
OUT OF THE FIRE!
(SCREAMS)
Martin says WHOA!
They fall backwards.
Chris says WHAT IS IT?
Martin says CRAWLING OUT OF THE FIRE?
Chris says YEAH, GO LOOK.
Martin says NO, YOU GO LOOK.
Chris says NO, YOU LOOK FIRST.
Martin says UH, LET'S LOOK TOGETHER.
OKAY.
They say ONE,
TWO,
THREE,
LOOK!
Martin says HUH?
A SALAMANDER?
Chris says FROM OUT OF THE FIRE?
Martin says MUST BE A FIRE SALAMANDER!
I READ ABOUT THEM
IN AN ANCIENT TEXT,
THAT I THINK I HAVE
IN MY BACKPACK.
HERE.
Chris says WHAT?
YOU CARRY AROUND ANCIENT TEXTS?
Martin says YEAH!
DOESN'T EVERYBODY?
WHERE IS IT?
A HA!
THE FIRE SALAMANDER.
BORN IN THE FIRE,
THE SALAMANDER IS CREATED
FROM BURNING WOOD,
AND IT'S SKIN IS UNHARMED
BY THE HOTTEST FLAME.
Chris says HE LOOKS ALL RIGHT TO ME.
HE'S NOT BURNED,
BUT HE CAME OUT OF THE FIRE.
Martin says YEAH.
WELL, THAT MAKES
NAMIN' THIS GUY EASY.
I'LL CALL YOU, FLAME.
M grabs another one and ays OH.
THIS GUY, HI.
YOUR NAME IS SPARKER.
Chris says THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
OKAY.
THE SCIENTIFIC NAME
FOR THIS SPECIES IS
SALAMANDRA SALAMANDRA,
AKA THE FIRE SALAMANDER.
Martin gasps and says CAN YOU IMAGINE
A CREATURE POWER SUIT
THAT MADE US IMMUNE TO FIRE?
They say WHOA.
Chris says HEY AVIVA,
I KNOW IT SOUNDS TOO
WEIRD TO BE TRUE,
Martin says BUT THERE IS THE
FIRE SALAMANDER,
Chris says THAT APPEARS OUT
OF BURNING LOGS!
Martin says AND IS IMMUNE TO FIRE.
Aviva says HUH?
Aviva, Jimmy and Koki says WOW!
Aviva says I'M GETTING STARTED ON
THIS UNBELIEVABLE FIRE PROOF
CREATURE POWER,
LIKE NOW!
She sits at the computer and says NOW, WHAT'S YOUR SECRET?
On his plane, Donita says DABIO, I'M FEELING
CREATIVELY BLOCKED.
Dabio says OH, I HEAR
SOMETHING GOOD DONITA.
MARTIN AND CHRIS HAVE FOUND
A BLACK AND YELLOW SALAMANDER
THAT WALKS THROUGH FIRE.
(GASPS) IT DOESN'T BURN!
Donita says WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
Dabio says LIKE THIS.
Donita says STRIKING PATTERNS!
YES!
YES!
YES!
IT'S COMING TO ME!
Dabio says WHAT DONITA?
Donita says I, DONITA DONATA,
IN A BLACK AND YELLOW BODYSUIT,
ENTER THE RUNWAY,
WALKING THROUGH A WALL OF FIRE,
UNBURNED, UNHARMED!
WHAT AN ENTRANCE THAT WOULD BE!
Dabio says OH.
YES!
Donita says YES.
THAT'S MY ENTRANCE.
NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS COLLECT 1,000 FIRE
SALAMANDER SKINS,
AND SEW THEM TOGETHER INTO MY
FIREPROOF SALAMANDER BODYSUIT.
I'LL BE DAZZLING!
DABIO, DROP EVERYTHING.
WE NEED TO GET TO GERMANY
AND COLLECT FIRE SALAMANDERS.
AND MARTINO AND CRISTOBAL
HAVE LED US RIGHT TO THEM.
(LAUGHING)
THEY LED US RIGHT
TO THEM! (LAUGHING)
YEAH (LAUGHING).
(BOTH LAUGHING)
In the forest, Martin says WOW.
A SALAMANDER THAT CAN
WALK THROUGH FIRE.
Chris says WAIT A SECOND,
HOLD IT.
THIS GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING
WE KNOW ABOUT SALAMANDERS.
SALAMANDERS NEED
WATER TO SURVIVE.
Martin says OH, THANKS FOR
THE REMINDER BRO.
AND YOU'RE RIGHT.
SALAMANDERS ARE AMPHIBIANS.
LIKE MOST AMPHIBIANS,
A SALAMANDER'S SKIN
ALWAYS HAS TO STAY WET.
WHETHER IT'S A
SPOTTED SALAMANDER,
A MARBLED SALAMANDER,
OR A TIGER SALAMANDER.
THE ONE THING THAT ALL
SALAMANDERS HAVE IN COMMON,
IS THAT THEIR SKIN HAS
TO STAY COOL AND WET.
Chris says YEAH.
FEEL HIS SKIN.
MOIST AND COOL.
Martin says VERY COOL.
HOW COULD THEY BE
BORN OUT OF FIRE?
SALAMANDERS ARE VERY
SENSITIVE TO HEAT.
I MEAN,
HOW COULD THESE SALAMANDERS
POSSIBLY BE FIREPROOF?
Chris says WE'VE GOTTA FIND OUT ABOUT
THIS SALAMANDER'S LIFE CYCLE,
AND CRACK THE MYSTERY
OF THE FIRE SALAMANDER.
The brothers watch the salamanders.
Martin says HM.
WELL I THINK WE'RE
GONNA DISCOVER
WHAT FIRE SALAMANDERS EAT.
Chris says HE'S HUNTING.
The salamander snatches a snail.
They both say WHOA!
Chris says SALAMANDERS HAVE
PREDATORY POWERS.
THEY HAVE SPECIAL
TEETH THAT HOLD,
BUT DON'T CHEW.
Martin says GRAB AND GULP.
THAT'S THE SALAMANDER
HUNTING STYLE.
WHAT'S THIS OTHER
GUY GOIN' AFTER?
Chris says LET'S SEE.
Martin says OH, IT'S A SPIDER!
WHOA!
DID YOU SEE THAT?
Chris says OH YEAH.
HE ATE A SPIDER!
Martin says YEAH!
AND DID YOU SEE HOW HE
USED HIS EYES TO SWALLOW?
Chris says EYES TO SWALLOW?
Aviva says A SALAMANDER USES HIS
EYEBALLS TO SWALLOW.
Chris says HIS EYEBALLS?
Martin says YEAH, WATCH THE EYEBALLS.
Chris says WOW.
I NEED TO RECORD THIS!
Martin says SEE?
PUSHING THE WORM DOWN
WITH HIS EYEBALLS.
Chris says GOT IT!
LET'S GO TO THE
X-RAY INSTANT REPLAY,
TO SEE IF WE'RE RIGHT.
Martin says NICE.
Chris plays the video and says THE SALAMANDER
SHOOTS OUT HIS TONGUE,
WHICH IS STICKY,
AND GRABS THE WORM.
Martin says WHOA,
IN A HALF A SECOND.
WE NEEDED INSTANT
REPLAY TO EVEN SEE THAT!
THEN, HE HOLDS THE WORM
WITH VOMERINE TEETH.
Chris says VOMERINE TEETH?
Martin says YOU KNOW, THOSE BONY TEETH
ON THE ROOF OF THE MOUTH.
Chris says YEAH, VOMERINE
TEETH HOLD THE WORM,
BUT NO CHEWING.
THEN THE EYE MUSCLES PULL
THE EYES INTO THE HEAD,
AND THE EYEBALLS PUSH THE WORM
DOWN THE SALAMANDER'S THROAT.
Martin says EYE-MAZING!
Chris says YOU MEAN, AMAZING.
Martin says NO.
EYE-MAZING!
THAT IS ONE EYE-MAZING ABILITY.
Chris says OH, I GET IT.
(LAUGHING)
Martin says OKAY, IT WASN'T THAT FUNNY.
NO!
SOMETHING IS TICKLING ME.
(LAUGHING)
A hedgehog climbs up Chris’s back.
Martin says THE EUROPEAN HEDGEHOG!
(LAUGHING)
Chris says HEY BUDDY!
Martin says OH.
SHE'S GOT HER EYE ON
THE FIRE SALAMANDER.
Chris says UH OH.
HEDGEHOGS ARE CUTE,
BUT THEY'RE LITTLE PREDATORS.
Martin says DOES A FIRE SALAMANDER
HAVE ANY DEFENSES?
Chris says RECORDING.
(GASPS)
Martin says THAT SALAMANDER DID SOMETHING!
Chris says OH, WHAT HAPPENED?
Martin says LET'S GO TO THE
INSTANT REPLAY.
OKAY LOOK.
THE SALAMANDER'S
FLEXING HIS SKIN
AND GLANDS BEHIND HIS NECK.
Chris says THERE'S A
SUBSTANCE COMING OUT.
SPRAYING INTO THE
HEDGEHOG'S FACE!
Martin says MUST BE A POISON!
BECAUSE THE HEDGEHOG
DOESN'T LIKE IT.
THE HEDGEHOG GOT OUTTA THERE.
Chris says AND THE
SALAMANDER IS SAFE.
Martin says THAT'S AN AWESOME
CHEMICAL DEFENSE!
At the Tortuga, Aviva says GREAT OBSERVATION GUYS.
AND I'M PUTTING THAT POWER
INTO THE FIRE
SALAMANDER POWER SUIT.
HOW ABOUT THE FIREPROOF POWER?
Chris says NOTHING YET.
Martin says YEAH, STILL DON'T KNOW.
HOW CAN THEY BE
BORN OUT OF FIRE?
Chris says GOOD QUESTION.
OKAY, LET'S REVIEW WHAT
WE KNOW ABOUT SALAMANDERS.
THE STANDARD CYCLE
OF SALAMANDERS.
EGGS ARE LAID IN THE WATER.
A series of pictures appear on a screen.
Martin says LARVAE
HATCH IN THE WATER,
AND BREATHE THROUGH
EXTERNAL GILLS.
SEE THOSE FAN LIKE
THINGS ON THEIR HEADS?
Chris says THEN, THEY
MORPH INTO ADULTS,
AND COME OUT ON LAND.
SOME SALAMANDERS HAVE
VARIATIONS TO THIS,
BUT THERE'S ONE THING
THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON.
Martin says I'M THINKIN' WHAT
YOU'RE THINKIN'.
Chris says YOU THINK?
Martin says YEAH, THE EGGS HAVE
TO STAY COOL AND WET.
THE LARVAE HAVE TO
STAY COOL AND WET.
AND THE ADULT
SALAMANDERS HAVE TO STAY
COOL AND WET!
Chris says THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
They high-five.
Martin says THEY'RE FROM WATER.
IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
THAT THESE FIRE SALAMANDERS
SUPPOSEDLY GENERATED FROM FIRE.
WHAT IS GOIN' ON?
Aviva says HM.
YEAH, AND I'M HAVING TROUBLE
FINDING ANY FIRE RESISTANCE
IN ANIMALS.
TREES, YES.
BUT I'M DEFINITELY NOT
FINDING IT FOR AMPHIBIANS.
Jimmy says YOU GUYS CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT?
NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL!
Koki says IT REALLY IS A MYSTERY!
(ROCK MUSIC)
Meanwhile, Donita says IS THE FIRE BEAM
INSTALLED AND WORKING?
Dabio says UH, I THINK SO.
The beam burns down a rack of clothes.
(EXPLOSION)
Donita gasps and says WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Dabio says UH, TESTING?
Donita says NOT IN THE PLANE!
UH!
YOU ARE SO LUCKY THOSE
WERE LAST YEAR'S FASHIONS.
ARE WE IN GERMANY YET?
Dabio gasps and says OH! HEY!
I SEE THE BLACK FOREST!
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
In the forest, Chris says WELL, LET'S BACK IT UP.
ONE, WE TOOK LOGS THAT WE
FOUND ON THE FOREST FLOOR.
AND TWO, WE PUT
THEM IN THE FIRE.
AND THEN THREE,
A FIRE SALAMANDER
CRAWLED OUT OF THE FIRE.
Martin says HEY, LET'S TAKE A
CLOSER LOOK AT THE LOGS.
Chris says HM.
HEY!
AND MOIST!
A salamander crawls out of a crack in the log.
Martin says OF COURSE!
THE FIRE SALAMANDERS WERE
HIDING IN THE COOL, WET WOOD!
Chris says WHEN THE WOOD WAS
PUT IN THE FIRE,
THEY CRAWLED OUT OF THE FIRE
TO GET AWAY FROM THE HEAT!
Martin says THESE SALAMANDERS
DON'T LIKE FIRE AT ALL!
Chris says AVIVA.
CANCEL THE FIREPROOF FIRE
SALAMANDER POWER SUIT.
Aviva says WHY?
Martin says WELL, THESE
SALAMANDERS ARE COOL,
BUT THEY JUST DON'T HAVE
FIREPROOF CREATURE POWERS.
Chris says I'M SURE THEY HAVE OTHER
COOL CREATURE POWERS, THOUGH.
Martin says YEAH.
I MEAN, LOOK HOW HE PROTECTED
HIMSELF FROM THE HEDGEHOG.
Donita and Dabio come along in her flying pink scooter.
Donita says CLEAR OUT, KRATTS!
They both yell and say DONITA!
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' HERE?
Donita says ALL YOU HAVE TO KNOW,
IS IF YOU GET IN MY WAY,
YOU'LL GET BURNED.
(LAUGHING)
They run as Donita tries to hit them with the beam.
Martin says DOES ANY ANIMAL HAVE
FIRE RESISTANT POWERS?
Chris says I WISH!
WE COULD REALLY
USE THAT POWER NOW!
(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHING)
Martin says DONITA, STOP!
YOU'RE GOING TO BURN
THE FOREST DOWN!
Donita says WHO CARES ABOUT THE FOREST?
WHAT I WANT,
ARE THOSE FIRE
SALAMANDER'S SKINS.
Martin says WHAT?
Chris says WHY?
C says I WILL SEW THOSE FIRE
RESISTANT SALAMANDER SKINS
INTO A FIREPROOF SUIT,
AND MAKE MY ENTRANCE AT THE
FANTASTIC FROGS FASHION SHOW,
WALKING THROUGH A WALL OF FIRE.
Martin says OKAY, OKAY,
I THINK THE HEAT
IS GETTING TO YOU.
THESE ARE LIVING CREATURES.
Chris says THESE SALAMANDERS NEED
THEIR SKIN TO SURVIVE!
Donita says I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.
FASHION FIRST!
AND THIS YEAR,
(YELL)
Donita says FIRE'S IN!
He starts sucking up the salamanders with the scooter’s vacuum.
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Chris says SPARKER!
Martin says FLAME!
DONITA STOP!
Donita says NEVER!
AIM THE FIRE BEAM THERE, DABIO.
THOSE FIRE SALAMANDERS ARE MINE!
(LAUGHING)
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Chris says OH NO.
WE'VE GOTTA SAVE THEM!
TO THE CREATURE RESCUE!
A running tiger knocks them down.
(YELL)
Martin says WHAT?
THE CREATURES ARE RUNNING
AWAY FROM THE FIRE!
Chris says YEAH.
ALL THE OTHER ANIMALS
ARE IN DANGER, TOO!
THEY KNOW THEY'VE
GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE.
Martin says IF THE WIND BLOWS,
THE EMBERS WILL HIT THE
TREES AND START A FIRE.
(WIND BLOWING)
Chris says FIRE!
WE'VE GOTTA PUT IT OUT!
I'LL GO AFTER DONITA!
Martin says I'LL PUT OUT THE FIRE!
Chris says TO THE CREATURE RESCUE!
Martin goes through his backpack and says WHERE'S THAT WATER BLASTER?
A HA!
He puts down the fires and says ALL RIGHT!
YEAH!
YES, I DID IT!
The wind blows and rekindles the fire.
(EXPLOSION)
Martin says WHOA!
OH NO!
I'M EMPTY!
HELP!
(YELLS)
AVIVA.
KOKI, JIMMY, COME IN!
I NEED MORE WATER!
They say WATER?
Martin says DONITA'S STARTING FIRES,
AND I NEED A LOT OF WATER,
AND FAST!
Aviva gasps and says DONITA!
KOKI, ENGAGE
FIREFIGHTING PROTOCOL.
Koki says ON IT!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
The Tortuga lifts off and flies to the lake to suck up water.
(WATER SPLASHING)
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Koki says CONVERT LEGS INTO
WATER BLASTERS!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
ENGAGE!
DEPLOY WATER BLASTERS!
They spray water over the fire and also over Martin.
(WATER SPRAYING)
Martin chuckles and says THANKS GUYS.
FIRE'S OUT.
Aviva says AWESOME MARTIN!
Martin says AND I GOT A SHOWER, TOO!
NOW WE GOTTA FIND CHRIS.
HE WENT AFTER DONITA.
Aviva says I'LL SCAN THE TREETOPS.
HM, I DON'T SEE HIM.
Martin climbs up a tree and says GOTTA GET HIGHER!
(GRUNTING)
NOTHIN'.
SEE ANYTHING, AVIVA?
Aviva says NOT YET.
She gasps and says THERE!
HE'S HANGING ON TO
DONITA'S SCOOTER!
UH OH!
DONITA SPOTTED HIM!
Martin says WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
Aviva says HE'S BEEN POSE BEAMED!
(PLANE FLIES OFF)
Aviva says THEY’RE TAKING HIM TO HER PLANE!
WE'VE GOTTA CATCH THEM!
Martin says HEY AVIVA,
DO YOU HAVE YOUR CREATURE
POWER VEST HANDY?
Aviva says RIGHT HERE.
FEEL LIKE ACTIVATING
A FAST FLYING POWER?
CAUSE HERE'S A NEST
OF PEREGRINE FALCONS.
Aviva says YOU DON'T HAVE
TO ASK ME TWICE.
Aviva puts on the vest and jumps off the Tortuga.
(ROCK MUSIC)
Aviva and Martin hold discs and say INSERT PEREGRINE FALCON DISK.
TOUCH PEREGRINE FALCON!
ACTIVATE PEREGRINE
FALCON POWERS!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
They both morph into falcons.
Martin says TO THE...
Aviva says OH!
I WANNA SAY IT!
Martin says ALL YOURS.
Aviva says TO THE CREATURE RESCUE!
Martin says AND THE CHRIS RESCUE!
(LAUGHING)
Aviva says I LOVE FLYING
FAST WITH FALCON POWERS!
In the plane, Donita says PUT HIM OVER THERE DABIO.
The pose beamed Chris falls forward.
(LAUGHING, GRUNTING)
(HUMMING)
(CACKLING)
Donita says I LIKE THIS
CRISTOBAL MUCH BETTER.
QUIET,
AND HE DOESN'T INTERFERE.
DABIO, GET THE SKINS
OFF THOSE SALAMANDERS.
Dabio says UH, THAT SOUNDS
KINDA MEAN, DONITA.
Donita says MEAN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
Dabio says UH, NOTHING DONITA.
Donita says GOOD.
THEN GET ME THE SKINS.
I'M STARTING UP
THE SEWING MACHINE.
AND SOON,
I WILL BE STYLING IN MY NEW
FIREPROOF FIRE SALAMANDER
BODYSUIT (LAUGHING).
IT'S GONNA LOOK SO GOOD.
(LAUGHING)
Dabio says HOW DO I DO IT?
HOW DO I DO IT?
Chris mumbles.
(DABIO CLEARS THROAT)
Dabio says 'SCUSE ME,
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GET
THE SALAMANDER SKINS OFF?
(MUMBLING)
Dabio says OH, UH, OKAY.
I'LL UNPOSE BEAM
YOU FOR A MINUTE,
BUT NO FUNNY BUSINESS.
(BUTTON BEEPING)
Chris says THANKS DABIO,
YOU'RE A GOOD GUY.
Dabio says HOW DO I GET THEIR SKINS OFF?
Chris says UH, EASY.
JUST PUT THEM IN WATER!
Dabio says OH!
OKAY.
(GOOFY MUSIC)
Dabio puts the salamanders in a large fish tank.
(WATER SPLASHING)
Dabio says OKAY, NOW WHAT?
Chris says UH, JUST WATCH AND WAIT.
YEAH, SEE HOW THEIR FRONT
LEGS SWING BY THEIR SIDE,
AND THEIR BACK LEGS HANG BACK?
THEN THEY USE THEIR TAILS
LIKE A PADDLE TO SWIM.
Dabio says OH, THEY SWIM!
BUT WHEN DO THEIR
SKINS FALL OFF?
Chris giggles and says UH, JUST KEEP WATCHING.
SOON, THEY'LL SWIM RIGHT
OUT OF THEIR SKINS.
WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE.
Dabio says OH!
(ROCK MUSIC)
Aviva says DONITA'S
PLANE IS FAST!
Martin says OUR PEREGRINE FALCON
POWERS ARE FASTER!
OKAY AVIVA,
GET READY TO STOOP!
Aviva says STOOP?
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
Martin says OH STOOP?
TO STOOP,
YOU JUST TUCK IN YOUR WINGS,
AND DIVE,
LIKE THIS!
THIS IS HOW A FALCON HITS TOP
SPEED OF 300 KILOMETERS
PER HOUR!
Aviva says OKAY.
STOOP!
In the plane, Dabio says OH,
THEY'RE PRETTY SWIMMERS.
Chris says I KNOW.
AREN'T THEY COOL TO LOOK AT?
Dabio says YEAH (GIGGLING).
Donita says DABIO, WHY IS CHRIS FREE?
AND, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHY ARE THOSE
SALAMANDERS SWIMMING?
WHY DO THEY STILL
HAVE THEIR SKINS!
Martin flies in and says BECAUSE THEY NEED THEM,
MORE THAN YOU DO!
Aviva says SALAMANDER SKINS
BELONG TO SALAMANDERS!
Chris says LIVING FREE AND IN THE WILD!
Dabio says YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT
WHEN YOU BEAT US.
Donita says DABIO, WATCH CHRIS.
WE'RE NOT BEATEN YET.
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Donita presses a button and 3 mannequins appear.
Donita says MANNEQUINS, ATTACK!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Martin says WHOO! MISSED ME!
Aviva says TOO SLOW!
Martin says I'M FALCON FAST!
Chris says WHOO!
YOUR MANNEQUINS CAN'T
CATCH THEM, DONITA!
Donita says DON'T DISTRACT ME!
MANNEQUIN, BAG HIM!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Chris says I'M NOT GROCERIES.
HEY, YOU CAN'T BAG ME!
LET ME GO!
Chris ducks down and the mannequin bags Dabio.
(GRUNTING)
(MUMBLING)
Dabio says IT'S DARK IN HERE!
HELLO?
(YELLING)
Chris says LET'S GET YOU GUYS HOME!
Martin says THESE
MANNEQUINS DON'T GIVE UP!
Aviva says I KNOW!
ANY IDEAS?
Donita says YOU MISSED AGAIN!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Martin says WHEN WE SWING PAST,
YOU TAKE OUT MY MANNEQUIN,
AND I'LL TAKE OUT YOURS!
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Aviva says OKAY!
Martin says WE'LL HAVE
TO HELP CHRIS, TOO.
Donita says GIVE UP YET?
Martin says DON'T THINK SO.
(EXCITING MUSIC)
Chris puts the salamanders in a bag.
(GRUNTING AND GROANING)
Martin says READY, AVIVA?
Aviva says READY!
They both say ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
They fly towards one another and the mannequins follow them. They deviate their course and the mannequins crash.
(MANNEQUINS CRASH)
Martin tosses the mannequins to Donita and says YEAH!
WHOO!
Donita ducks down and screams.
Chris says HUH?
(MANNEQUINS CRASH)
Donita says DABIO!
Dabio comes out of the bag and says YES, DONITA?
Donita says PUT THE MANNEQUINS
BACK TOGETHER.
THE WILD KRATTS
ARE GETTING AWAY!
Chris says MARTIN!
AVIVA!
I'VE GOT THE SALAMANDERS!
TAKE THEM BACK TO
THE BLACK FOREST!
Aviva says GOT 'EM!
Martin says GOT 'EM!
Chris says YEAH!
HEY!
WHAT ABOUT ME?
Martin comes back and says SORRY BRO!
HOP ON!
Chris says THANKS!
Donita says UH, DABIO!
Dabio tries to reassemble the mannequins and says THAT GOES HERE.
NO NO.
THAT GOES THERE.
Donita says WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Dabio says HUH?
Martin says THAT DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT.
Donita gasps and says NO!
MY SALAMANDERS ARE GONE!
Martin says SAVIN' THE PLANET
WITH CREATURE POWER!
Chris says ONE SPECIES AT A TIME!
In the forest, Aviva says THERE YOU GO, LITTLE GUYS.
Koki says TIME TO GO HOME.
Martin says BACK TO THE SAFETY
OF THE FOREST.
They all say LIVING FREE
AND IN THE WILD!
Now the show goes back to real life.
The Kratt brothers walk in a forest.
Martin says OH YEAH,
THERE ARE A LOT OF AMAZING
SALAMANDERS AROUND THE WORLD.
ABOUT 686 SPECIES.
MOST OF THEM LIVING IN
THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.
Chris says LIKE, CHECK OUT THIS MEMBER
OF THE SALAMANDER FAMILY.
IT'S A FULLY AQUATIC ONE.
THIS IS A SPANISH RIBBED NEWT,
AND IT HAS A REALLY
COOL CREATURE POWER.
WHEN A PREDATOR GRABS THEM,
THEY EXPAND THEIR RIBS,
AND THEY CAN PUSH THEM
RIGHT THROUGH THEIR SKIN,
DELIVERING A POISON
INTO THE PREDATOR.
(LAUGHING)
AND CHECK OUT HIS FACE.
THAT IS ONE CUTE FACE.
Martin says HEY, AND YOU WANNA SEE
ANOTHER SALAMANDER WITH A COOL
CREATURE POWER?
CHECK THIS OUT.
UNDER THIS WET MOSS IS,
He gasps and says A FIRE SALAMANDER.
WOW (LAUGHING).
LOOK AT THOSE BRIGHT
YELLOW MARKINGS, HUH?
THEY'RE ADVERTISING THE
POISON OF THE FIRE SALAMANDER,
BECAUSE RIGHT BEHIND
THE SALAMANDER'S EYES,
THERE ARE THESE GLANDS
ABOVE THIS CHEEK,
AND THEY HAVE POISON IN THEM.
IF A PREDATOR TRIES TO
GRAB THE FIRE SALAMANDER,
THE POISON RELEASES.
THE FIRE SALAMANDER CAN
EVEN SHOOT THE POISON
AT THE PREDATOR!
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
SALAMANDERS ARE AMAZING ANIMALS
WITH SUPER CREATURE POWERS.
Chris says AND THESE EXAMPLES JUST
SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF THE
SALAMANDER WORLD.
Martin says ALL RIGHT.
NOW LET'S GET OUR TWO YOUNG
SPOTTED SALAMANDERS BACK HOME.
Chris says LIVING FREE,
AND IN THE WILD.
SO HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT.
WHAT YOU DON'T WANNA DO,
IS PUT THE SALAMANDERS
DOWN FIRST.
Martin says AND THEN PUT THE LOG DOWN,
BECAUSE YOU COULD
ACCIDENTALLY CRUSH THEM.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS FIRST
PUT THE LOG BACK IN PLACE.
Chris says AND THEN,
PUT YOUR SALAMANDERS
DOWN NEAR THE LOG,
THAT'S THE WAY THEY
SAFELY RETURN TO THEIR
UNDERGROUND HOME.
Martin says THERE ARE SO MANY AWESOME
KINDS OF SALAMANDERS!
Chris says AND SO MANY SECRETS
IN THE SALAMANDER WORLD.
