Transcript: Spots in the Desert
Music plays as the Wild Kratts logo pops up and a voice says Wild Kratts!
Then, a globe spins and Southern Asia appears highlighted. A clip shows images of a desert.
The Kratt brothers appear. Chris wears a green shirt and Martin wears a blue shirt.
Chris says WE’RE HERE
IN NORTH AMERICA
IN THE SPECTACULAR
SONORAN DESERT.
WOW, THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!
Martin says IT’S US,
THE KRATT BROTHERS.
Chris says I’M CHRIS.
Martin says I’M MARTIN.
Chris says AND THAT’S A CACTUS.
IN THIS HOT,
DRY DESERT, YOU’LL FIND
ALL KINDS OF CREATURES
WHO ARE PERFECTLY ADAPTED
TO LIVING IN THIS HABITAT.
LIKE LIZARDS,
SCORPIONS, AND SNAKES.
Martin says AND THIS DESERT
IS ALSO HOME
TO A REALLY ELUSIVE
CREATURE, THE OCELOT.
OCELOTS ARE MOSTLY
FOUND THROUGHOUT CENTRAL
AND SOUTH AMERICA IN
A VARIETY OF HABITATS,
BUT MOSTLY JUNGLE.
SO TO FIND A DESERT OCELOT UP
HERE IN THE NORTHERN DESERT
IS VERY RARE AND SPECIAL.
Chris says THE OCELOT IS ABOUT
TWICE THE SIZE OF A HOUSE CAT.
ITS COAT IS BEAUTIFUL
WITH LOTS OF SPOTS.
THE SPOTS SOMETIMES RUN
TOGETHER TO CREATE STRIPES.
Martin says THIS CAT USES
ITS AWESOME SENSES,
HEARING, SIGHT, AND
SMELL, TO TRACK DOWN PREY.
AND WHEN IT’S AFTER SOMETHING,
THE OCELOT’S ACROBATIC POWERS
HELP IT GRAB A MEAL.
THE OCELOT IS REALLY
SECRETIVE AND HARD TO FIND.
Chris says ANY OCELOT MOVING
INTO THIS HABITAT FACES
SERIOUS COMPETITION
FROM OTHER PREDATORS.
Martin says LIKE BOBCATS.
BOBCATS ARE ABOUT THE
SAME SIZE AS AN OCELOT
AND THEY’RE GOING AFTER
THE SAME PREY SPECIES.
LIKE JACKRABBITS.
Chris says AND THERE ARE PUMAS.
THEY ARE THE TOP
PREDATOR OUT HERE.
AND OCELOTS REALLY HAVE
TO WATCH THEIR BACKS
WITH PUMAS AROUND.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE COULD
FIND AN OCELOT PROWLING
IN THE SONORAN DESERT.
Chris says IMAGINE IF WE COULD
PROWL LIKE AN OCELOT.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE
HAD OCELOT POWERS.
They both 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 “Spots in the desert.”
Inside the Tortuga, Chris polishes different animal power discs and says SIFAKA LEMUR.
Chris says OKAY, NOW ONTO THE CATS.
CHEETAH POWER DISC.
TIGER POWER DISC.
LION POWER DISC.
JAGUAR POWER DISC.
(GIGGLES) GOTTA LOVE WILD CATS.
Martin says HMM, HEY, I WOULDN’T
MIND DOING A WILD KRATTS
WILD CATS ADVENTURE TODAY.
Koki says OKAY THEN.
SINCE WE’RE HERE
IN CENTRAL AMERICA,
LET’S SEE IF ANY
WILD KRATTS KIDS
HAVE SEEN ANY WILD
CATS AROUND HERE.
He presses a button on the central station and says SENDING MESSAGE TO ANY WILD
KRATTS KIDS IN THE AREA.
HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN ANY
WILD CATS IN YOUR BACKYARD?
Chris says UH, ALL WILD CATS
ARE PRETTY SECRETIVE.
Martin says YEAH, WILD CATS
CAN BE HARD TO SPOT.
Aviva says YEAH, CATS
CAN HIDE REALLY WELL.
Chris says THEY CAN BE RIGHT NEAR
YOU AND YOU WOULDN’T KNOW IT.
Martin says YOU DO HAVE TO GET REAL
LUCKY TO SPOT A WILD CAT.
Aviva says WE GOT A MESSAGE!
Chris and Martin say WHOO-HOO! YES!
Koki says CONNECTING.
Aviva says KOKI, PROBLEM
WITH THE TRANSMISSION?
Koki says JUST A LITTLE STATIC.
GOT IT, TRANSMISSION COMING IN.
A boy named Manuel pops up on the screen and says HI, IT’S MANUEL.
I THINK I SAW AN OCELOT.
THAT’S A WILD CAT, RIGHT?
Chris and Martin say AN OCELOT?
Manuel says YEAH, JUST LAST NIGHT.
IT WAS SMALL, WELL,
MORE MEDIUM, WITH SPOTS.
I LIVE IN—
The transmission goes off.
(STATIC HISSING)
Koki gasps and says AW, THERE’S A PROBLEM
WITH THE TRANSMISSION.
Aviva says AND THE LOCATION
POINTER IS MOVING AROUND.
Koki says I KNOW, I JUST
CAN’T GET A LOCK.
Chris says YOU KNOW, WE’VE NEVER
SEEN AN OCELOT IN THE WILD.
THEY’RE NOT ON MY LIFE LIST
WITH THE OTHER WILD CATS.
LIKE THE JAGUAR, LION, OR LYNX.
He looks at the archive in his arm tablet and says SEE, NO LEOPARDUS PARDALIS.
Martin says YOU’RE RIGHT.
I REALLY LIKE OCELOTS,
THEY’RE LIKE MINI JAGUARS.
WE GOTTA MEET ONE UP
CLOSE AND PERSONAL.
Chris says AND GET IT FOR
THE CREATURE LIST.
Martin says YEAH, OKAY, LET’S GO!
Chris says WAIT, WE DON’T KNOW WHERE
MANUEL SPOTTED THE WILD CAT.
Martin chuckles and says VERY FUNNY.
Chris says WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Martin says WHERE HE SPOTTED
IT, OCELOT SPOTS,
SPOT THE SPOTTED
OCELOT. (CHUCKLES)
Chris says OKAY.
Martin says SO LET’S GO!
Chris says GO WHERE?
Martin says TO SPOT AN OCELOT.
Chris says BUT WE HAVEN’T
GOT A LOCATION.
Martin says WELL, WE’RE
IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GO
OUTSIDE INTO THE RAINFOREST
WHERE THEY LIVE AND
WE’LL SPOT ONE EASY.
Chris says WHAT ABOUT WILD CATS
BEING HARD TO SPOT?
Martin says WELL, WE’RE THE
WILD KRATTS, COME ON!
Chris says BUT WE DON’T KNOW WHERE!
The brothers get on a jeep and ride out to the rainforest.
Martin says OCELOTS, HERE WE COME!
Aviva says DO YOU THINK
THEY’LL FIND AN OCELOT?
Koki says IF THEY DO, IT WON’T
BE THE ONE MANUEL SAW.
MY TRACKING IS SHOWING
HE’S FURTHER NORTH.
SO THE BROS AREN’T
HEADING TO THE RIGHT SPOT.
Jimmy says SPOT, I GET IT.
OCELOT SPOT.
Chris says OKAY, THIS LOOKS
LIKE GOOD HABITAT.
Martin says YOU GOT IT, BRO.
Chris says LOTS OF
TREES, VEGETATION.
Martin gets off the jeep, steps on a muddy slope and says OH, YEAH, HEY, AND,
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
He holds onto Chris and drags him with him.
(BOTH YELLING)
(WATER SPLASHING)
(BOTH GROANING)
They slide down the slope.
They land in a stream.
Chris says NOT HELPFUL.
Martin says BUT THAT
MIGHT BE, TRACKS.
Chris says AHA, MUST BE A WILD CAT.
SEE, NO CLAWS SHOWING.
Martin says BUT WHAT KIND?
Chris says MAY BE A
JAGUAR OR AN OCELOT.
OR A MARGAY.
Martin says MARGAY,
SMALL, OCELOT, MEDIUM,
AND JAGUAR, LARGE.
Martin says MARGAY PAWS ARE
THE SIZE OF A QUARTER.
Chris says THIS TRACK IS MUCH
BIGGER THAN A QUARTER.
Martin says OKAY, HOW ABOUT
A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.
OCELOT PAWS ARE ABOUT
THE SIZE OF YOUR AVERAGE
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.
Chris says STILL BIGGER THAN
A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.
Martin says WELL, HOW
ABOUT A JAGUAR’S?
THEIR PAWS ARE ABOUT
THE SIZE OF A PANCAKE!
Chris says THAT’S A MATCH!
HOLD IT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH A PANCAKE IN YOUR BACKPACK?
Martin laughs and says WELL,
GOT A WHOLE STACK.
AND BUTTER AND MAPLE SYRUP.
Chris says OKAY, WHILE YOU
HAVE YOUR BREAKFAST,
I’M GONNA SEE IF I
CAN SPOT THAT JAGUAR.
THIS IS IDEAL RAINFOREST
HABITAT FOR JAGUARS,
OCELOTS, AND MARGAYS, TOO.
GOTTA BE AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
Chris looks for jaguar in the bushes and up in the trees.
He says MARTIN, THEY MIGHT
BE RIGHT AROUND YOU
AND YOU WOULDN’T EVEN SEE THEM.
(MARTIN MUMBLES)
‘CAUSE THEY’RE SO
GOOD AT HIDING.
THEIR SPOTS REALLY HELP THEM
BLEND INTO THE RAINFOREST.
Martin finishes his breakfast and says YUM, ALL DONE.
Chris says NOTHIN’.
Koki pops up on Chris’s arm tablet and says NO SURPRISE THERE, YOU’RE
SEARCHING IN THE WRONG PLACE.
MANUEL DIDN’T CALL
FROM THE RAINFOREST.
HE CALLED FROM THE DESERT.
The brothers say AN
OCELOT IN THE DESERT?
Koki says YES, THE SONORAN DESERT,
IN SOUTHWESTERN NORTH AMERICA.
Chris says WOW, WHAT’S AN OCELOT
DOING IN THE SONORAN DESERT?
Martin says WELL, A DESERT
WOULD BE AN EASIER PLACE
TO SPOT AN OCELOT
WITHOUT ALL THIS JUNGLY
VEGETATION IN THE WAY.
Chris says RIGHT, LET’S GO!
HEY, BUT IT’S TOO BAD WE
DIDN’T SEE ANY WILD CATS.
As they run back to the Tortuga, an ocelot and her two cobs appear.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
They both say TO THE DESERT!
The brothers get in the Tortuga.
Jimmy says BYE-BYE, RAINFOREST.
The Tortuga takes off.
Chris says LOOK AT THIS, JAGUARS,
OCELOTS, AND MARGAYS
LIVE IN THIS HUGE AREA
FROM NORTHERN ARGENTINA
TO CENTRAL AMERICA.
AND IF YOU’RE LUCKY, YOU
CAN EVEN FIND OCELOTS
IN THE UNITED STATES,
BUT THAT’S RARE.
Aviva says YOU WERE RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF JAGUAR, OCELOT,
AND MARGAY TERRITORY
AND YOU DIDN’T SEE ANY?
Martin says DON’T RUB IT IN.
Chris says AND NOW WE’RE HEADED
TO THE FAR NORTHERN END
OF THE OCELOT’S DISTRIBUTION,
THE SONORAN DESERT.
Koki says I HOPE MANUEL DIDN’T JUST
SEE A HOUSE CAT WITH SPOTS.
Jimmy says KOKI, HAVE A LITTLE FAITH
IN THE WILD KRATTS KIDS.
Chris, Martin and Aviva say YEAH!
Koki says I WAS JUST KIDDING.
(BEEPING)
Now Jimmy flies the Tortuga over the desert and says WOW AS FAR AS HABITATS
GO, RAINFOREST AND DESERT
COULDN’T BE MORE DIFFERENT.
Chris says AND YET OCELOTS
LIVE IN BOTH PLACES.
THEY’RE ADAPTABLE CREATURES.
Martin says AND MUST HAVE SOME
AWESOME CREATURE POWERS.
Aviva says FIND AN OCELOT OUT THERE
AND I’LL DO THE PROGRAMMING.
I’VE GOT TO MAKE A
NEW OCELOT POWER SUIT.
Martin says YES!
The brothers high-five in front if Jimmy.
Jimmy says DO YOU MIND, I’M DRIVING.
Martin says YES, WE’RE BACK
IN THE SONORAN DESERT.
THE ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD
WHERE THE SAGUARO
CACTUS GROW WILD.
COME ON, BRO...OOF!
As he runs out of the Tortuga, Martin bumps into a giant cactus and says OOH, WHO PUT THAT CACTUS THERE?
A small owl comes out a hole in the cactus.
Martin says OH, HI, ELFIS, GREAT
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
AND I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING.
I SHOULD LOOK WHERE I’M RUNNING.
I’M JUST SO EXCITED TO BE
IN THE SONORAN DESERT AGAIN.
Chris says UH, MARTIN, YOU OKAY?
YOU’RE TALKING TO A CACTUS.
Martin says NOPE, I’M TALKING
TO ELFIS, THE ELF OWL.
Chris says ELFIS!
HEY, BUDDY, YOU SEE ANY OCELOTS?
Martin chuckles and says CUTE.
BUT NOT VERY HELPFUL.
Chris says YOU’D THINK THEY’D
BE EASY TO SPOT HERE.
NO LUSH GREEN
TREES TO HIDE THEM.
Manuel says MARTIN, CHRIS!
Chris says OH, I SEE MANUEL.
They both say MANUEL!
Manuel says CHRIS, MARTIN,
YOU MADE IT!
Martin says HOW YOU DOING, BUDDY?
Manuel says GREAT!
Chris says AND YOU SAW AN OCELOT?
Manuel says YEAH, I DID, LAST NIGHT.
I WAS SLEEPING WHEN
A NOISE WOKE ME UP.
I WENT TO THE WINDOW
TO SEE WHAT IT WAS.
BUT THEN IT WAS QUIET,
NOTHING WAS THERE.
THEN SOMETHING
MOVED IN THE SHADOW.
AT FIRST, I COULDN’T
SEE ANYTHING,
BUT THEN SLOWLY I SAW A CAT.
IT WAS BIGGER THAN MY PET CAT,
BUT SMALLER THAN
A MOUNTAIN LION.
AND IT HAD SPOTS.
AND THEN IT WAS GONE.
IT HAD TO BE AN OCELOT, RIGHT?
Martin says OH, YEAH!
Chris says OKAY, WELL FIRST OF ALL,
HOW MANY SPOTS...
Martin says ABSOLUTELY
IT WAS AN OCELOT.
GREAT JOB, YOU SAW AN
OCELOT IN THE DESERT.
THAT’S SO RARE, OH,
WAY TO GO, OCELOT!
Martin and Manuel high-five and say YEAH!
Chris says HOW MANY SPOTS
DID IT HAVE?
Manuel says LOTS AND LOTS.
AND SOME OF THEM WERE
KIND OF LIKE STRIPES.
Chris says HMM, THAT DOES
SOUND LIKE AN OCELOT.
BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, IT COULD’VE
BEEN SHADOWS AND MOON SPOTS.
SO WE DON’T KNOW FOR SURE.
Martin says OKAY, SO LET’S
FIND OUT FOR SURE.
LET’S FIND THAT OCELOT.
AVIVA, WE’RE ON THE MOVE.
Aviva says FANTASTICO, GOOD LUCK
WITH YOUR TRACKING, BYE.
Chris says MANUEL, COULD YOU
SHOW US WHERE YOU SAW HIM
TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY TRACKS?
Manuel says SURE, THIS WAY.
Inside the Tortuga, Aviva says HMM. OCELOTS ARE SIMILAR
TO JAGUARS, BUT SMALLER.
WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT?
DO THEY HAVE UNIQUE
CREATURE POWERS?
Jimmy says WELL, JAGUARS ARE
ORANGER, ORANGIER?
UH, MORE ORANGY, MORE ORANGE?
YEAH, MORE ORANGE.
OCELOTS, LESS ORANGE.
Aviva says THAT’S TRUE.
Koki says AND LOOK AT
THEIR COAT PATTERNS.
THEY’RE DIFFERENT, TOO.
Aviva says YEAH, THE OCELOT’S
SPOTS CAN RUN TOGETHER,
CREATING STRIPED PATTERNS,
WHILE THE JAGUAR’S DOESN’T.
MAYBE OCELOTS ARE MORE SIMILAR
TO THE MID-SIZED
CLOUDED LEOPARD.
THEIR SPOTS LOOK LIKE CLOUDS.
Koki says OR A CARACAL, WHO TOOK
YOUR BADMINTON BIRDIE, REMEMBER?
Aviva says UGH, DON’T REMIND ME.
BUT I GUESS I CAN USE THE
CARACAL PROGRAMMING AS THE BASIS
FOR THE NEW OCELOT POWER DISC.
LET’S JUST HOPE THE BROS CAN
FIND THAT ELUSIVE OCELOT.
LET’S GET TO WORK.
Jimmy and Koki say YEAH!
Manuel takes the brothers to his house and says HERE’S MY WINDOW.
AND THE OCELOT WAS LIKE, OVER
THERE, OUTSIDE MY WINDOW.
Chris says TIME FOR
SOME TRACKIN’ ACTION.
He trips with a rock and falls.
(CHRIS YELLS)
Chris says OH!
Martin says ACTION TRACKSON.
Chris says WELL, GOTTA GET LOW
TO ANALYZE THESE TRACKS.
THERE WAS DEFINITELY A CAT HERE.
AND THESE ARE
DEFINITELY CAT TRACKS.
SEE, NO CLAWS IN
FRONT OF THE TOE PADS.
THAT MEANS THAT THEY
WERE RETRACTED OR HIDDEN.
SOMETHING ALMOST ALL CATS DO.
LET’S MEASURE THE PAW SIZE.
Martin says OOF! OKAY.
YUP, THE TRACK’S THE SIZE
OF A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.
DEFINITELY AN OCELOT TRACK.
Chris says AWESOME.
Manuel says YAY, OCELOTS AND
COOKIES, CAN I HAVE IT?
Martin says SURE.
Manuel says THANKS.
Martin says HEY, AND I THINK
I KNOW A GREAT NAME
FOR WHEN WE SPOT AN OCELOT.
Manuel says SPOT?
Martin eats a cookie and says COOKIE.
(LAUGHS)
Chris says OH YEAH, IT JUST
MIGHT BE AN OCELOT.
PAW WIDTH, FIVE CENTIMETERS.
INDIVIDUAL TOE PADS ARE
ALMOST THREE CENTIMETERS.
SO THIS COULD EITHER BE AN
ADULT FEMALE OR A JUVENILE MALE.
THE TRACKS HEAD THAT WAY.
Martin says WE’LL LET YOU KNOW
WHEN WE FIND HIM OR HER.
Chris says LET’S GO!
Manuel says GOOD LUCK, BYE!
The brothers follow the tracks.
Chris says ON COURSE, 12 O’CLOCK
STRAIGHT AHEAD,
LIKE SHE’S OR HE’S
GOING SOMEWHERE.
Martin says OOH, THAT’S
A NEAT TRACK.
GOTTA SEE WHO’S
MAKING THESE TRACKS.
HMM,
Martin gasps and says A ROADRUNNER!
SO THESE TRACKS BELONG
TO A ROADRUNNER.
OH, YOU MIGHT BE
MY FAVORITE BIRD.
WOW, OH, HEY, WHERE’S HE GOING?
SPOTTED A LIZARD!
The roadrunner chases the lizard and eats it.
Martin says GOT IT!
WHOA, THAT IS SOME
DEADLY CREATURE SPEED.
Martin looks through his binoculars and says WHAT DO YOU SEE?
MY BRO GOT THAT FAR?
OH, AND HE’S STILL TRACKING.
I GOTTA GET GOING, BUT HE’S FAR!
AND I DON’T HAVE A HORSE,
HOW AM I GONNA CATCH UP?
The roadrunner stands in front of him.
He says OH, YES, I THINK YOU CAN HELP.
Chris says LOOK AT THIS, MARTIN.
THE TRACKS MAKE A CIRCLE
AROUND THIS SAGUARO CACTUS
AND STRAIGHT ON AGAIN.
LOOKS LIKE THIS OCELOT,
WHETHER BOY OR GIRL,
IS ON A MISSION,
GOING SOME PLACE.
SO WE’VE GOT TO KEEP OUR
EYES ON THESE TRACKS.
DON’T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING.
Martin says YEAH, YOU’VE
GOT THE POWER
TO GET ME ACROSS
THE DESERT FAST.
INSERT ROADRUNNER POWER DISC.
TOUCH ROADRUNNER.
ACTIVATE ROADRUNNER POWERS!
He morphs into a roadrunner and runs after Chris.
(WHOOSHING)
(FRANTIC MUSIC)
Chris says HEY, THANKS FOR BEING SO
QUIET WHILE WE TRACK THE CAT,
MARTIN, YOU HAVEN’T
SAID A THING.
Martin says UH...
Chris says IT’S A LITTLE STRANGE,
BUT IT KEPT ME FOCUSED.
Martin morphs back to human form and says OH, YEAH,
SURE, NO PROBLEM.
YEAH, UH, ME TOO, FOCUSED
ON CREATURE TRACKS, RIGHT?
Chris says THIS OCELOT IS
FOCUSED TOO, REALLY FOCUSED
ON GOING SOMEWHERE
IN PARTICULAR.
On Chris’s arm tablet, Aviva says HEY, BROS,
SPOTTED THE OCELOT YET?
Chris says NOT YET, STILL TRACKING.
Martin says AVIVA, HOW’S
THE DISC GOING?
Aviva says GETTING CLOSE.
LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU
FIND THAT WILD CAT.
SEE YA.
Chris says OKAY, STEPS TO THE
SIDE TO CHECK SOMETHING OUT.
BUT THEN KEEPS
HEADING DUE NORTH.
Martin says LET’S KEEP TRACKING.
Chris says ALL RIGHT, HEY,
WHAT ARE THESE TRACKS?
TWO OF THE FEET ARE REAL
LONG, TWO ARE REAL SHORT.
Martin says INTERESTING.
GOTTA SEE
WHO’S MAKING THESE.
WHOA, A JACKRABBIT!
THE BIGGEST WILD
HARE IN THE WORLD.
AND THE FASTEST, TOO.
HUH, WHAT IS IT?
A COYOTE!
JACKRABBIT HEARD HIM COMING.
NOT MUCH GETS PAST THOSE EARS.
HE HEARS THE COYOTE, NOW
SEES HIM, HERE WE GO!
LOOK AT THAT JACKRABBIT RUN!
COYOTE’S ON HIS TAIL.
RABBIT ZIGS AND ZAGS AND ZIGS.
AND GETS AWAY!
says THAT IS SOME
SERIOUS RUNNING POWER.
YOU LEFT THAT COYOTE IN A
CLOUD OF DUST.
He chuckles and says OH, I SEE WHAT YOU’RE DOING NOW.
FREEZE LIKE A STATUE.
BLEND INTO THE BACKGROUND
‘TILL THE COAST IS CLEAR.
GOOD ONE, OH, YEAH.
WHOA, AND CHRIS IS LEAVING
ME IN THE DUST, AGAIN.
He looks at the jackrabbit and says UH, I THINK I’M
GONNA NEED YOUR HELP.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
He says INSERT JACKRABBIT POWER DISC.
TOUCH JACKRABBIT.
ACTIVATE JACKRABBIT POWERS!
He morphs into a jackrabbit.
He leaps away and says YEAH, WHOO-HOO, ALL RIGHT!
WHOO, LET’S GET HOPPING!
ZIGGING AND ZAGGING
THROUGH THE DESERT, WOW!
Chris says MARTIN, CAN
YOU BELIEVE IT?
SEEMS LIKE THESE
TRACKS HAVE FINALLY
REACHED THEIR
DESTINATION, RIGHT?
Martin reaches Chris, morphs back to human and says UH, YEAH, RIGHT.
Chris points at a giant rocks maze and says THE OCELOT WENT IN THERE.
Chris says WHOA!
Martin says COOL.
Chris says LOTS OF
TRACKS IN AND OUT.
THE OCELOT MUST USE THIS A LOT.
Martin laughs and GOOD ONE.
LET’S SPLIT UP,
I’LL GO THIS WAY.
Chris says AND I’LL GO THAT WAY.
CONTACT ME ON THE CREATUREPOD
IF YOU FIND ANYTHING.
Martin says WILL DO.
(LIVELY MUSIC)
Martin bumps into Chris and says OOF.
Chris says AH!
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Martin says HEY, BRO, IT’S YOU.
Chris says I DIDN’T SEE YOU COMING.
LOOK, TRACKS CLIMBING THE ROCKS.
Martin says AND TRACKS
CROSSING THE STREAM.
I’M FOLLOWING THESE.
Chris says AND I’LL GO UP.
Chris says I HEAR SOMETHING SLIDING.
COULD BE A SLINKING OCELOT.
Martin says I HEAR
SOMETHING SCRATCHING.
COULD BE AN OCELOT
SHARPING ITS CLAWS.
(GASPS)
A reptile comes out of a small cave.
Martin says GILA MONSTER!
(GILA MONSTER HISSING)
Martin says WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
WHEW, THAT WAS CLOSE.
NEARLY GOT CRUNCHED
BY HIS POWERFUL JAWS.
(GILA MONSTER HISSING)
Chris climbs up a rock and sees a rattlesnake at the top.
He says RATTLESNAKE!
(TAIL RATTLING)
He falls down on Martin and says WHOA!
(MARTIN GROANS)
Chris says THANKS FOR
THE CUSHION, BRO.
Martin says OH, NO PROBLEM.
Martin says UH, CHRIS, PROBLEM.
(GILA MONSTER HISSING)
(CHRIS AND MARTIN YELLING)
They run away from the gila monster.
Chris says WHERE WE GOING?
Chris trips and falls and says WHOA!
(CHRIS YELLING)
Martin says CHRIS, YOU OKAY?
CHRIS, SPEAK TO ME, BRO!
(GILA MONSTER HISSING)
Martin says THAT’S NOT CHRIS, IS IT?
OKAY, GILA MONSTER, I’M GOING.
(MARTIN YELLS)
Martin jumps off the rock, lands on Chris and says THANKS FOR THE CUSHION...
Chris says SHH, DON’T MOVE.
HUH, WHAT?
Martin says THE GILA MONSTER, A
RATTLESNAKE, A SCORPION?
Chris says NO, LOOK.
They both say OCELOT KITTENS.
Martin says OH, THEY ARE SO CUTE.
AND PLAYFUL.
Chris says WHOA, SOMETHING’S COMING.
IT’S AN OCELOT.
SO OUR OCELOT WAS
AN ADULT FEMALE.
Martin says A MOM.
HIYA, COOKIE!
In the Tortuga, Aviva says AW.
Koki says MANUEL, YOU
DID SEE AN OCELOT.
Manuel says I KNEW IT!
Aviva says AND GUYS,
YOUR CREATURE MISSION
IS ACCOMPLISHED, TOO.
Koki says YEAH, YOU FOUND AN
OCELOT IN THE DESERT.
Martin says EVEN BETTER, WE FOUND
A DEN FULL OF OCELOT KITTENS
IN THE DESERT, AND NOW WE
HAVE A NEW CREATURE MISSION.
Aviva says A NEW CREATURE MISSION?
Martin says YEAH, PLAYING
WITH KITTENS.
He approaches the kittens and says HI, GUYS.
Mom ocelot snarls at him.
(OCELOT SNARLING)
Martin jumps on Chris’ arms and says WHOA!
(MARTIN YELLS)
Chris says SHE DOESN’T LIKE THAT.
Martin says NUH-UH.
Martin says OOH, YOU THINKING
WHAT I’M THINKING, BRO?
Chris says I THINK SO, WE
NEED SOME HELP FROM...
They both say OCELOT POWERS.
AVIVA?
Aviva says OCELOT POWER DISCS
HOT OFF THE PRESSES.
COMING AT YA, JIMMY.
She prints the disc and tosses to the teleporter.
Jimmy says ENERGIZE AND ZAP ‘EM.
(DISCS ZAPPING)
The brothers get the discs.
Martin says OKAY, YOU DISTRACT THE
MOM AND I’LL TOUCH A KITTEN.
Chris says WHAT, I DON’T
THINK I LIKE THIS PLAN.
He talks to the mom and says UH, SO MOM, HOW DO
YOU LIKE THE DESERT?
DIFFERENT FROM THE
RAINFOREST, RIGHT?
Meanwhile, Martin approaches the kittens and says ACTIVATE OCELOT POWERS.
Chris says MARTIN!
Martin says UH-OH.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
He morphs into an ocelot.
Martin says YEAH, WHOA!
Mom chases Martin.
Chris touches the kittens and says MY TURN...
ACTIVATE OCELOT POWERS!
Chris says WHOO-HOO!
He morphs into an ocelot.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(MARTIN PANTING)
Martin hides behind a rock and says WHEW, WHERE DID SHE GO?
Martin spots the mom up on the rock and says UH-OH, HI, MOM. (YELLS)
Mom grabs him like one of his kittens.
Martin says HEY, YES, SHE’S ACCEPTED
OUR OCELOT-NESS.
Chris says UH, HI, MOM.
Martin says WHOA. (CHUCKLES)
WE ARE OFFICIALLY
OCELOT KITTENS.
WHO WANTS TO PLAY?
Martin says WHAT’S UP, SIS?
Chris says HEY, BRO.
They jump and play with the kittens.
Martin says WHOA, YOU GOT ME,
YOU’RE QUICK!
Chris says OOF, SNEAK ATTACK.
(LAUGHING)
Now the show turns back to real life.
The brothers walk along the desert.
Martin says SO SEEING AN OCELOT
IN THE SONORAN DESERT
WOULD BE THE FIND OF A LIFETIME.
Chris says LET’S KEEP PROWLING.
Martin says WE HIKED THROUGH
THIS HOT, DRY DESERT
WITH NO SIGN OF AN OCELOT.
BUT WE FOUND SOME OF ITS PREY.
LIKE AN ARIZONA
MOUNTAIN KINGSNAKE.
Chris picks up a red, white, and black striped snake.
Martin says WOW, AND LOOK
AT THAT PATTERN.
THIS STRIPED COLORFUL
PATTERN MIMICS
THE VENOMOUS CORAL SNAKE, SO
YOU WOULD NEVER WANNA PICK UP
ANY SNAKE THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS
WITHOUT BEING A SNAKE EXPERT.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER,
GIVE SNAKES THEIR SPACE.
THIS MOUNTAIN KINGSNAKE
WOULD BE SOMETHING
AN OCELOT WOULD EAT.
Chris says YEP.
BUT WE STILL COULDN’T
FIND AN OCELOT, SO WE SPLIT UP.
AN OCELOT COULD BE HIDING
ANYWHERE, BEHIND ANY CACTUS.
WOW, THE JAVELINA, THE
WILD PIG OF THIS DESERT REGION.
PIGS CAN BE TOUGH, SO
A FULL GROWN JAVELINA
MIGHT BE ONE OF THE HARDER
THINGS FOR AN OCELOT TO TACKLE.
BUT A PIGLET, OR A
YOUNG ONE, IS FAIR GAME.
OCELOTS, LIKE A LOT OF
WILD CATS, AREN’T PICKY.
THEY’LL EAT SMALLER
PACKETS OF PROTEIN, TOO.
LIKE INSECTS AND ARACHNIDS.
THIS IS A DESERT HAIRY SCORPION.
THEIR TAIL HAS A VENOMOUS
STINGER ON THE END.
BUT FOR AN OCELOT, THE STING
IS ONLY AS BAD AS A BEE STING.
SO OCELOTS GOBBLE
THESE GUYS DOWN.
BUT STILL NO LUCK
FINDING OCELOTS.
Martin says THEY’RE VERY
GOOD AT HIDING,
ESPECIALLY WHEN SNEAKING UP
ON UNSUSPECTING PREY.
AN OCELOT CAN EASILY
CATCH A SMALL REPTILE
LIKE A SPINY LIZARD
OR AN IGUANA.
BUT THEY WOULD HAVE A
MUCH HARDER TIME TACKLING
THE VENOMOUS REPTILES
LIKE A GILA MONSTER
WITH A STRONG, POWERFUL JAW.
OR A RATTLESNAKE.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT A HUNGRY
WILD CAT IS GONNA TRY TO EAT.
WHEW, WE’RE STILL
SEARCHING FOR THAT OCELOT
OF THE SONORAN DESERT.
Chris says AND WE COULD BE
SEARCHING FOR A LONG TIME.
Martin says KEEP ON
CREATURE ADVENTURING.
Chris says WE’LL SEE YOU ON
THE CREATURE TRAIL.
Music plays as the end credits roll.

Then, a globe spins and Southern Asia appears highlighted. A clip shows images of a desert.
The Kratt brothers appear. Chris wears a green shirt and Martin wears a blue shirt.
Chris says WE’RE HERE
IN NORTH AMERICA
IN THE SPECTACULAR
SONORAN DESERT.
WOW, THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!
Martin says IT’S US,
THE KRATT BROTHERS.
Chris says I’M CHRIS.
Martin says I’M MARTIN.
Chris says AND THAT’S A CACTUS.
IN THIS HOT,
DRY DESERT, YOU’LL FIND
ALL KINDS OF CREATURES
WHO ARE PERFECTLY ADAPTED
TO LIVING IN THIS HABITAT.
LIKE LIZARDS,
SCORPIONS, AND SNAKES.
Martin says AND THIS DESERT
IS ALSO HOME
TO A REALLY ELUSIVE
CREATURE, THE OCELOT.
OCELOTS ARE MOSTLY
FOUND THROUGHOUT CENTRAL
AND SOUTH AMERICA IN
A VARIETY OF HABITATS,
BUT MOSTLY JUNGLE.
SO TO FIND A DESERT OCELOT UP
HERE IN THE NORTHERN DESERT
IS VERY RARE AND SPECIAL.
Chris says THE OCELOT IS ABOUT
TWICE THE SIZE OF A HOUSE CAT.
ITS COAT IS BEAUTIFUL
WITH LOTS OF SPOTS.
THE SPOTS SOMETIMES RUN
TOGETHER TO CREATE STRIPES.
Martin says THIS CAT USES
ITS AWESOME SENSES,
HEARING, SIGHT, AND
SMELL, TO TRACK DOWN PREY.
AND WHEN IT’S AFTER SOMETHING,
THE OCELOT’S ACROBATIC POWERS
HELP IT GRAB A MEAL.
THE OCELOT IS REALLY
SECRETIVE AND HARD TO FIND.
Chris says ANY OCELOT MOVING
INTO THIS HABITAT FACES
SERIOUS COMPETITION
FROM OTHER PREDATORS.
Martin says LIKE BOBCATS.
BOBCATS ARE ABOUT THE
SAME SIZE AS AN OCELOT
AND THEY’RE GOING AFTER
THE SAME PREY SPECIES.
LIKE JACKRABBITS.
Chris says AND THERE ARE PUMAS.
THEY ARE THE TOP
PREDATOR OUT HERE.
AND OCELOTS REALLY HAVE
TO WATCH THEIR BACKS
WITH PUMAS AROUND.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE COULD
FIND AN OCELOT PROWLING
IN THE SONORAN DESERT.
Chris says IMAGINE IF WE COULD
PROWL LIKE AN OCELOT.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE
HAD OCELOT POWERS.
They both 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 “Spots in the desert.”
Inside the Tortuga, Chris polishes different animal power discs and says SIFAKA LEMUR.
Chris says OKAY, NOW ONTO THE CATS.
CHEETAH POWER DISC.
TIGER POWER DISC.
LION POWER DISC.
JAGUAR POWER DISC.
(GIGGLES) GOTTA LOVE WILD CATS.
Martin says HMM, HEY, I WOULDN’T
MIND DOING A WILD KRATTS
WILD CATS ADVENTURE TODAY.
Koki says OKAY THEN.
SINCE WE’RE HERE
IN CENTRAL AMERICA,
LET’S SEE IF ANY
WILD KRATTS KIDS
HAVE SEEN ANY WILD
CATS AROUND HERE.
He presses a button on the central station and says SENDING MESSAGE TO ANY WILD
KRATTS KIDS IN THE AREA.
HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN ANY
WILD CATS IN YOUR BACKYARD?
Chris says UH, ALL WILD CATS
ARE PRETTY SECRETIVE.
Martin says YEAH, WILD CATS
CAN BE HARD TO SPOT.
Aviva says YEAH, CATS
CAN HIDE REALLY WELL.
Chris says THEY CAN BE RIGHT NEAR
YOU AND YOU WOULDN’T KNOW IT.
Martin says YOU DO HAVE TO GET REAL
LUCKY TO SPOT A WILD CAT.
Aviva says WE GOT A MESSAGE!
Chris and Martin say WHOO-HOO! YES!
Koki says CONNECTING.
Aviva says KOKI, PROBLEM
WITH THE TRANSMISSION?
Koki says JUST A LITTLE STATIC.
GOT IT, TRANSMISSION COMING IN.
A boy named Manuel pops up on the screen and says HI, IT’S MANUEL.
I THINK I SAW AN OCELOT.
THAT’S A WILD CAT, RIGHT?
Chris and Martin say AN OCELOT?
Manuel says YEAH, JUST LAST NIGHT.
IT WAS SMALL, WELL,
MORE MEDIUM, WITH SPOTS.
I LIVE IN—
The transmission goes off.
(STATIC HISSING)
Koki gasps and says AW, THERE’S A PROBLEM
WITH THE TRANSMISSION.
Aviva says AND THE LOCATION
POINTER IS MOVING AROUND.
Koki says I KNOW, I JUST
CAN’T GET A LOCK.
Chris says YOU KNOW, WE’VE NEVER
SEEN AN OCELOT IN THE WILD.
THEY’RE NOT ON MY LIFE LIST
WITH THE OTHER WILD CATS.
LIKE THE JAGUAR, LION, OR LYNX.
He looks at the archive in his arm tablet and says SEE, NO LEOPARDUS PARDALIS.
Martin says YOU’RE RIGHT.
I REALLY LIKE OCELOTS,
THEY’RE LIKE MINI JAGUARS.
WE GOTTA MEET ONE UP
CLOSE AND PERSONAL.
Chris says AND GET IT FOR
THE CREATURE LIST.
Martin says YEAH, OKAY, LET’S GO!
Chris says WAIT, WE DON’T KNOW WHERE
MANUEL SPOTTED THE WILD CAT.
Martin chuckles and says VERY FUNNY.
Chris says WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Martin says WHERE HE SPOTTED
IT, OCELOT SPOTS,
SPOT THE SPOTTED
OCELOT. (CHUCKLES)
Chris says OKAY.
Martin says SO LET’S GO!
Chris says GO WHERE?
Martin says TO SPOT AN OCELOT.
Chris says BUT WE HAVEN’T
GOT A LOCATION.
Martin says WELL, WE’RE
IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GO
OUTSIDE INTO THE RAINFOREST
WHERE THEY LIVE AND
WE’LL SPOT ONE EASY.
Chris says WHAT ABOUT WILD CATS
BEING HARD TO SPOT?
Martin says WELL, WE’RE THE
WILD KRATTS, COME ON!
Chris says BUT WE DON’T KNOW WHERE!
The brothers get on a jeep and ride out to the rainforest.
Martin says OCELOTS, HERE WE COME!
Aviva says DO YOU THINK
THEY’LL FIND AN OCELOT?
Koki says IF THEY DO, IT WON’T
BE THE ONE MANUEL SAW.
MY TRACKING IS SHOWING
HE’S FURTHER NORTH.
SO THE BROS AREN’T
HEADING TO THE RIGHT SPOT.
Jimmy says SPOT, I GET IT.
OCELOT SPOT.
Chris says OKAY, THIS LOOKS
LIKE GOOD HABITAT.
Martin says YOU GOT IT, BRO.
Chris says LOTS OF
TREES, VEGETATION.
Martin gets off the jeep, steps on a muddy slope and says OH, YEAH, HEY, AND,
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
He holds onto Chris and drags him with him.
(BOTH YELLING)
(WATER SPLASHING)
(BOTH GROANING)
They slide down the slope.
They land in a stream.
Chris says NOT HELPFUL.
Martin says BUT THAT
MIGHT BE, TRACKS.
Chris says AHA, MUST BE A WILD CAT.
SEE, NO CLAWS SHOWING.
Martin says BUT WHAT KIND?
Chris says MAY BE A
JAGUAR OR AN OCELOT.
OR A MARGAY.
Martin says MARGAY,
SMALL, OCELOT, MEDIUM,
AND JAGUAR, LARGE.
Martin says MARGAY PAWS ARE
THE SIZE OF A QUARTER.
Chris says THIS TRACK IS MUCH
BIGGER THAN A QUARTER.
Martin says OKAY, HOW ABOUT
A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.
OCELOT PAWS ARE ABOUT
THE SIZE OF YOUR AVERAGE
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.
Chris says STILL BIGGER THAN
A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.
Martin says WELL, HOW
ABOUT A JAGUAR’S?
THEIR PAWS ARE ABOUT
THE SIZE OF A PANCAKE!
Chris says THAT’S A MATCH!
HOLD IT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH A PANCAKE IN YOUR BACKPACK?
Martin laughs and says WELL,
GOT A WHOLE STACK.
AND BUTTER AND MAPLE SYRUP.
Chris says OKAY, WHILE YOU
HAVE YOUR BREAKFAST,
I’M GONNA SEE IF I
CAN SPOT THAT JAGUAR.
THIS IS IDEAL RAINFOREST
HABITAT FOR JAGUARS,
OCELOTS, AND MARGAYS, TOO.
GOTTA BE AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
Chris looks for jaguar in the bushes and up in the trees.
He says MARTIN, THEY MIGHT
BE RIGHT AROUND YOU
AND YOU WOULDN’T EVEN SEE THEM.
(MARTIN MUMBLES)
‘CAUSE THEY’RE SO
GOOD AT HIDING.
THEIR SPOTS REALLY HELP THEM
BLEND INTO THE RAINFOREST.
Martin finishes his breakfast and says YUM, ALL DONE.
Chris says NOTHIN’.
Koki pops up on Chris’s arm tablet and says NO SURPRISE THERE, YOU’RE
SEARCHING IN THE WRONG PLACE.
MANUEL DIDN’T CALL
FROM THE RAINFOREST.
HE CALLED FROM THE DESERT.
The brothers say AN
OCELOT IN THE DESERT?
Koki says YES, THE SONORAN DESERT,
IN SOUTHWESTERN NORTH AMERICA.
Chris says WOW, WHAT’S AN OCELOT
DOING IN THE SONORAN DESERT?
Martin says WELL, A DESERT
WOULD BE AN EASIER PLACE
TO SPOT AN OCELOT
WITHOUT ALL THIS JUNGLY
VEGETATION IN THE WAY.
Chris says RIGHT, LET’S GO!
HEY, BUT IT’S TOO BAD WE
DIDN’T SEE ANY WILD CATS.
As they run back to the Tortuga, an ocelot and her two cobs appear.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
They both say TO THE DESERT!
The brothers get in the Tortuga.
Jimmy says BYE-BYE, RAINFOREST.
The Tortuga takes off.
Chris says LOOK AT THIS, JAGUARS,
OCELOTS, AND MARGAYS
LIVE IN THIS HUGE AREA
FROM NORTHERN ARGENTINA
TO CENTRAL AMERICA.
AND IF YOU’RE LUCKY, YOU
CAN EVEN FIND OCELOTS
IN THE UNITED STATES,
BUT THAT’S RARE.
Aviva says YOU WERE RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF JAGUAR, OCELOT,
AND MARGAY TERRITORY
AND YOU DIDN’T SEE ANY?
Martin says DON’T RUB IT IN.
Chris says AND NOW WE’RE HEADED
TO THE FAR NORTHERN END
OF THE OCELOT’S DISTRIBUTION,
THE SONORAN DESERT.
Koki says I HOPE MANUEL DIDN’T JUST
SEE A HOUSE CAT WITH SPOTS.
Jimmy says KOKI, HAVE A LITTLE FAITH
IN THE WILD KRATTS KIDS.
Chris, Martin and Aviva say YEAH!
Koki says I WAS JUST KIDDING.
(BEEPING)
Now Jimmy flies the Tortuga over the desert and says WOW AS FAR AS HABITATS
GO, RAINFOREST AND DESERT
COULDN’T BE MORE DIFFERENT.
Chris says AND YET OCELOTS
LIVE IN BOTH PLACES.
THEY’RE ADAPTABLE CREATURES.
Martin says AND MUST HAVE SOME
AWESOME CREATURE POWERS.
Aviva says FIND AN OCELOT OUT THERE
AND I’LL DO THE PROGRAMMING.
I’VE GOT TO MAKE A
NEW OCELOT POWER SUIT.
Martin says YES!
The brothers high-five in front if Jimmy.
Jimmy says DO YOU MIND, I’M DRIVING.
Martin says YES, WE’RE BACK
IN THE SONORAN DESERT.
THE ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD
WHERE THE SAGUARO
CACTUS GROW WILD.
COME ON, BRO...OOF!
As he runs out of the Tortuga, Martin bumps into a giant cactus and says OOH, WHO PUT THAT CACTUS THERE?
A small owl comes out a hole in the cactus.
Martin says OH, HI, ELFIS, GREAT
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
AND I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING.
I SHOULD LOOK WHERE I’M RUNNING.
I’M JUST SO EXCITED TO BE
IN THE SONORAN DESERT AGAIN.
Chris says UH, MARTIN, YOU OKAY?
YOU’RE TALKING TO A CACTUS.
Martin says NOPE, I’M TALKING
TO ELFIS, THE ELF OWL.
Chris says ELFIS!
HEY, BUDDY, YOU SEE ANY OCELOTS?
Martin chuckles and says CUTE.
BUT NOT VERY HELPFUL.
Chris says YOU’D THINK THEY’D
BE EASY TO SPOT HERE.
NO LUSH GREEN
TREES TO HIDE THEM.
Manuel says MARTIN, CHRIS!
Chris says OH, I SEE MANUEL.
They both say MANUEL!
Manuel says CHRIS, MARTIN,
YOU MADE IT!
Martin says HOW YOU DOING, BUDDY?
Manuel says GREAT!
Chris says AND YOU SAW AN OCELOT?
Manuel says YEAH, I DID, LAST NIGHT.
I WAS SLEEPING WHEN
A NOISE WOKE ME UP.
I WENT TO THE WINDOW
TO SEE WHAT IT WAS.
BUT THEN IT WAS QUIET,
NOTHING WAS THERE.
THEN SOMETHING
MOVED IN THE SHADOW.
AT FIRST, I COULDN’T
SEE ANYTHING,
BUT THEN SLOWLY I SAW A CAT.
IT WAS BIGGER THAN MY PET CAT,
BUT SMALLER THAN
A MOUNTAIN LION.
AND IT HAD SPOTS.
AND THEN IT WAS GONE.
IT HAD TO BE AN OCELOT, RIGHT?
Martin says OH, YEAH!
Chris says OKAY, WELL FIRST OF ALL,
HOW MANY SPOTS...
Martin says ABSOLUTELY
IT WAS AN OCELOT.
GREAT JOB, YOU SAW AN
OCELOT IN THE DESERT.
THAT’S SO RARE, OH,
WAY TO GO, OCELOT!
Martin and Manuel high-five and say YEAH!
Chris says HOW MANY SPOTS
DID IT HAVE?
Manuel says LOTS AND LOTS.
AND SOME OF THEM WERE
KIND OF LIKE STRIPES.
Chris says HMM, THAT DOES
SOUND LIKE AN OCELOT.
BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, IT COULD’VE
BEEN SHADOWS AND MOON SPOTS.
SO WE DON’T KNOW FOR SURE.
Martin says OKAY, SO LET’S
FIND OUT FOR SURE.
LET’S FIND THAT OCELOT.
AVIVA, WE’RE ON THE MOVE.
Aviva says FANTASTICO, GOOD LUCK
WITH YOUR TRACKING, BYE.
Chris says MANUEL, COULD YOU
SHOW US WHERE YOU SAW HIM
TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY TRACKS?
Manuel says SURE, THIS WAY.
Inside the Tortuga, Aviva says HMM. OCELOTS ARE SIMILAR
TO JAGUARS, BUT SMALLER.
WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT?
DO THEY HAVE UNIQUE
CREATURE POWERS?
Jimmy says WELL, JAGUARS ARE
ORANGER, ORANGIER?
UH, MORE ORANGY, MORE ORANGE?
YEAH, MORE ORANGE.
OCELOTS, LESS ORANGE.
Aviva says THAT’S TRUE.
Koki says AND LOOK AT
THEIR COAT PATTERNS.
THEY’RE DIFFERENT, TOO.
Aviva says YEAH, THE OCELOT’S
SPOTS CAN RUN TOGETHER,
CREATING STRIPED PATTERNS,
WHILE THE JAGUAR’S DOESN’T.
MAYBE OCELOTS ARE MORE SIMILAR
TO THE MID-SIZED
CLOUDED LEOPARD.
THEIR SPOTS LOOK LIKE CLOUDS.
Koki says OR A CARACAL, WHO TOOK
YOUR BADMINTON BIRDIE, REMEMBER?
Aviva says UGH, DON’T REMIND ME.
BUT I GUESS I CAN USE THE
CARACAL PROGRAMMING AS THE BASIS
FOR THE NEW OCELOT POWER DISC.
LET’S JUST HOPE THE BROS CAN
FIND THAT ELUSIVE OCELOT.
LET’S GET TO WORK.
Jimmy and Koki say YEAH!
Manuel takes the brothers to his house and says HERE’S MY WINDOW.
AND THE OCELOT WAS LIKE, OVER
THERE, OUTSIDE MY WINDOW.
Chris says TIME FOR
SOME TRACKIN’ ACTION.
He trips with a rock and falls.
(CHRIS YELLS)
Chris says OH!
Martin says ACTION TRACKSON.
Chris says WELL, GOTTA GET LOW
TO ANALYZE THESE TRACKS.
THERE WAS DEFINITELY A CAT HERE.
AND THESE ARE
DEFINITELY CAT TRACKS.
SEE, NO CLAWS IN
FRONT OF THE TOE PADS.
THAT MEANS THAT THEY
WERE RETRACTED OR HIDDEN.
SOMETHING ALMOST ALL CATS DO.
LET’S MEASURE THE PAW SIZE.
Martin says OOF! OKAY.
YUP, THE TRACK’S THE SIZE
OF A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.
DEFINITELY AN OCELOT TRACK.
Chris says AWESOME.
Manuel says YAY, OCELOTS AND
COOKIES, CAN I HAVE IT?
Martin says SURE.
Manuel says THANKS.
Martin says HEY, AND I THINK
I KNOW A GREAT NAME
FOR WHEN WE SPOT AN OCELOT.
Manuel says SPOT?
Martin eats a cookie and says COOKIE.
(LAUGHS)
Chris says OH YEAH, IT JUST
MIGHT BE AN OCELOT.
PAW WIDTH, FIVE CENTIMETERS.
INDIVIDUAL TOE PADS ARE
ALMOST THREE CENTIMETERS.
SO THIS COULD EITHER BE AN
ADULT FEMALE OR A JUVENILE MALE.
THE TRACKS HEAD THAT WAY.
Martin says WE’LL LET YOU KNOW
WHEN WE FIND HIM OR HER.
Chris says LET’S GO!
Manuel says GOOD LUCK, BYE!
The brothers follow the tracks.
Chris says ON COURSE, 12 O’CLOCK
STRAIGHT AHEAD,
LIKE SHE’S OR HE’S
GOING SOMEWHERE.
Martin says OOH, THAT’S
A NEAT TRACK.
GOTTA SEE WHO’S
MAKING THESE TRACKS.
HMM,
Martin gasps and says A ROADRUNNER!
SO THESE TRACKS BELONG
TO A ROADRUNNER.
OH, YOU MIGHT BE
MY FAVORITE BIRD.
WOW, OH, HEY, WHERE’S HE GOING?
SPOTTED A LIZARD!
The roadrunner chases the lizard and eats it.
Martin says GOT IT!
WHOA, THAT IS SOME
DEADLY CREATURE SPEED.
Martin looks through his binoculars and says WHAT DO YOU SEE?
MY BRO GOT THAT FAR?
OH, AND HE’S STILL TRACKING.
I GOTTA GET GOING, BUT HE’S FAR!
AND I DON’T HAVE A HORSE,
HOW AM I GONNA CATCH UP?
The roadrunner stands in front of him.
He says OH, YES, I THINK YOU CAN HELP.
Chris says LOOK AT THIS, MARTIN.
THE TRACKS MAKE A CIRCLE
AROUND THIS SAGUARO CACTUS
AND STRAIGHT ON AGAIN.
LOOKS LIKE THIS OCELOT,
WHETHER BOY OR GIRL,
IS ON A MISSION,
GOING SOME PLACE.
SO WE’VE GOT TO KEEP OUR
EYES ON THESE TRACKS.
DON’T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING.
Martin says YEAH, YOU’VE
GOT THE POWER
TO GET ME ACROSS
THE DESERT FAST.
INSERT ROADRUNNER POWER DISC.
TOUCH ROADRUNNER.
ACTIVATE ROADRUNNER POWERS!
He morphs into a roadrunner and runs after Chris.
(WHOOSHING)
(FRANTIC MUSIC)
Chris says HEY, THANKS FOR BEING SO
QUIET WHILE WE TRACK THE CAT,
MARTIN, YOU HAVEN’T
SAID A THING.
Martin says UH...
Chris says IT’S A LITTLE STRANGE,
BUT IT KEPT ME FOCUSED.
Martin morphs back to human form and says OH, YEAH,
SURE, NO PROBLEM.
YEAH, UH, ME TOO, FOCUSED
ON CREATURE TRACKS, RIGHT?
Chris says THIS OCELOT IS
FOCUSED TOO, REALLY FOCUSED
ON GOING SOMEWHERE
IN PARTICULAR.
On Chris’s arm tablet, Aviva says HEY, BROS,
SPOTTED THE OCELOT YET?
Chris says NOT YET, STILL TRACKING.
Martin says AVIVA, HOW’S
THE DISC GOING?
Aviva says GETTING CLOSE.
LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU
FIND THAT WILD CAT.
SEE YA.
Chris says OKAY, STEPS TO THE
SIDE TO CHECK SOMETHING OUT.
BUT THEN KEEPS
HEADING DUE NORTH.
Martin says LET’S KEEP TRACKING.
Chris says ALL RIGHT, HEY,
WHAT ARE THESE TRACKS?
TWO OF THE FEET ARE REAL
LONG, TWO ARE REAL SHORT.
Martin says INTERESTING.
GOTTA SEE
WHO’S MAKING THESE.
WHOA, A JACKRABBIT!
THE BIGGEST WILD
HARE IN THE WORLD.
AND THE FASTEST, TOO.
HUH, WHAT IS IT?
A COYOTE!
JACKRABBIT HEARD HIM COMING.
NOT MUCH GETS PAST THOSE EARS.
HE HEARS THE COYOTE, NOW
SEES HIM, HERE WE GO!
LOOK AT THAT JACKRABBIT RUN!
COYOTE’S ON HIS TAIL.
RABBIT ZIGS AND ZAGS AND ZIGS.
AND GETS AWAY!
says THAT IS SOME
SERIOUS RUNNING POWER.
YOU LEFT THAT COYOTE IN A
CLOUD OF DUST.
He chuckles and says OH, I SEE WHAT YOU’RE DOING NOW.
FREEZE LIKE A STATUE.
BLEND INTO THE BACKGROUND
‘TILL THE COAST IS CLEAR.
GOOD ONE, OH, YEAH.
WHOA, AND CHRIS IS LEAVING
ME IN THE DUST, AGAIN.
He looks at the jackrabbit and says UH, I THINK I’M
GONNA NEED YOUR HELP.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
He says INSERT JACKRABBIT POWER DISC.
TOUCH JACKRABBIT.
ACTIVATE JACKRABBIT POWERS!
He morphs into a jackrabbit.
He leaps away and says YEAH, WHOO-HOO, ALL RIGHT!
WHOO, LET’S GET HOPPING!
ZIGGING AND ZAGGING
THROUGH THE DESERT, WOW!
Chris says MARTIN, CAN
YOU BELIEVE IT?
SEEMS LIKE THESE
TRACKS HAVE FINALLY
REACHED THEIR
DESTINATION, RIGHT?
Martin reaches Chris, morphs back to human and says UH, YEAH, RIGHT.
Chris points at a giant rocks maze and says THE OCELOT WENT IN THERE.
Chris says WHOA!
Martin says COOL.
Chris says LOTS OF
TRACKS IN AND OUT.
THE OCELOT MUST USE THIS A LOT.
Martin laughs and GOOD ONE.
LET’S SPLIT UP,
I’LL GO THIS WAY.
Chris says AND I’LL GO THAT WAY.
CONTACT ME ON THE CREATUREPOD
IF YOU FIND ANYTHING.
Martin says WILL DO.
(LIVELY MUSIC)
Martin bumps into Chris and says OOF.
Chris says AH!
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Martin says HEY, BRO, IT’S YOU.
Chris says I DIDN’T SEE YOU COMING.
LOOK, TRACKS CLIMBING THE ROCKS.
Martin says AND TRACKS
CROSSING THE STREAM.
I’M FOLLOWING THESE.
Chris says AND I’LL GO UP.
Chris says I HEAR SOMETHING SLIDING.
COULD BE A SLINKING OCELOT.
Martin says I HEAR
SOMETHING SCRATCHING.
COULD BE AN OCELOT
SHARPING ITS CLAWS.
(GASPS)
A reptile comes out of a small cave.
Martin says GILA MONSTER!
(GILA MONSTER HISSING)
Martin says WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
WHEW, THAT WAS CLOSE.
NEARLY GOT CRUNCHED
BY HIS POWERFUL JAWS.
(GILA MONSTER HISSING)
Chris climbs up a rock and sees a rattlesnake at the top.
He says RATTLESNAKE!
(TAIL RATTLING)
He falls down on Martin and says WHOA!
(MARTIN GROANS)
Chris says THANKS FOR
THE CUSHION, BRO.
Martin says OH, NO PROBLEM.
Martin says UH, CHRIS, PROBLEM.
(GILA MONSTER HISSING)
(CHRIS AND MARTIN YELLING)
They run away from the gila monster.
Chris says WHERE WE GOING?
Chris trips and falls and says WHOA!
(CHRIS YELLING)
Martin says CHRIS, YOU OKAY?
CHRIS, SPEAK TO ME, BRO!
(GILA MONSTER HISSING)
Martin says THAT’S NOT CHRIS, IS IT?
OKAY, GILA MONSTER, I’M GOING.
(MARTIN YELLS)
Martin jumps off the rock, lands on Chris and says THANKS FOR THE CUSHION...
Chris says SHH, DON’T MOVE.
HUH, WHAT?
Martin says THE GILA MONSTER, A
RATTLESNAKE, A SCORPION?
Chris says NO, LOOK.
They both say OCELOT KITTENS.
Martin says OH, THEY ARE SO CUTE.
AND PLAYFUL.
Chris says WHOA, SOMETHING’S COMING.
IT’S AN OCELOT.
SO OUR OCELOT WAS
AN ADULT FEMALE.
Martin says A MOM.
HIYA, COOKIE!
In the Tortuga, Aviva says AW.
Koki says MANUEL, YOU
DID SEE AN OCELOT.
Manuel says I KNEW IT!
Aviva says AND GUYS,
YOUR CREATURE MISSION
IS ACCOMPLISHED, TOO.
Koki says YEAH, YOU FOUND AN
OCELOT IN THE DESERT.
Martin says EVEN BETTER, WE FOUND
A DEN FULL OF OCELOT KITTENS
IN THE DESERT, AND NOW WE
HAVE A NEW CREATURE MISSION.
Aviva says A NEW CREATURE MISSION?
Martin says YEAH, PLAYING
WITH KITTENS.
He approaches the kittens and says HI, GUYS.
Mom ocelot snarls at him.
(OCELOT SNARLING)
Martin jumps on Chris’ arms and says WHOA!
(MARTIN YELLS)
Chris says SHE DOESN’T LIKE THAT.
Martin says NUH-UH.
Martin says OOH, YOU THINKING
WHAT I’M THINKING, BRO?
Chris says I THINK SO, WE
NEED SOME HELP FROM...
They both say OCELOT POWERS.
AVIVA?
Aviva says OCELOT POWER DISCS
HOT OFF THE PRESSES.
COMING AT YA, JIMMY.
She prints the disc and tosses to the teleporter.
Jimmy says ENERGIZE AND ZAP ‘EM.
(DISCS ZAPPING)
The brothers get the discs.
Martin says OKAY, YOU DISTRACT THE
MOM AND I’LL TOUCH A KITTEN.
Chris says WHAT, I DON’T
THINK I LIKE THIS PLAN.
He talks to the mom and says UH, SO MOM, HOW DO
YOU LIKE THE DESERT?
DIFFERENT FROM THE
RAINFOREST, RIGHT?
Meanwhile, Martin approaches the kittens and says ACTIVATE OCELOT POWERS.
Chris says MARTIN!
Martin says UH-OH.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
He morphs into an ocelot.
Martin says YEAH, WHOA!
Mom chases Martin.
Chris touches the kittens and says MY TURN...
ACTIVATE OCELOT POWERS!
Chris says WHOO-HOO!
He morphs into an ocelot.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(MARTIN PANTING)
Martin hides behind a rock and says WHEW, WHERE DID SHE GO?
Martin spots the mom up on the rock and says UH-OH, HI, MOM. (YELLS)
Mom grabs him like one of his kittens.
Martin says HEY, YES, SHE’S ACCEPTED
OUR OCELOT-NESS.
Chris says UH, HI, MOM.
Martin says WHOA. (CHUCKLES)
WE ARE OFFICIALLY
OCELOT KITTENS.
WHO WANTS TO PLAY?
Martin says WHAT’S UP, SIS?
Chris says HEY, BRO.
They jump and play with the kittens.
Martin says WHOA, YOU GOT ME,
YOU’RE QUICK!
Chris says OOF, SNEAK ATTACK.
(LAUGHING)
Now the show turns back to real life.
The brothers walk along the desert.
Martin says SO SEEING AN OCELOT
IN THE SONORAN DESERT
WOULD BE THE FIND OF A LIFETIME.
Chris says LET’S KEEP PROWLING.
Martin says WE HIKED THROUGH
THIS HOT, DRY DESERT
WITH NO SIGN OF AN OCELOT.
BUT WE FOUND SOME OF ITS PREY.
LIKE AN ARIZONA
MOUNTAIN KINGSNAKE.
Chris picks up a red, white, and black striped snake.
Martin says WOW, AND LOOK
AT THAT PATTERN.
THIS STRIPED COLORFUL
PATTERN MIMICS
THE VENOMOUS CORAL SNAKE, SO
YOU WOULD NEVER WANNA PICK UP
ANY SNAKE THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS
WITHOUT BEING A SNAKE EXPERT.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER,
GIVE SNAKES THEIR SPACE.
THIS MOUNTAIN KINGSNAKE
WOULD BE SOMETHING
AN OCELOT WOULD EAT.
Chris says YEP.
BUT WE STILL COULDN’T
FIND AN OCELOT, SO WE SPLIT UP.
AN OCELOT COULD BE HIDING
ANYWHERE, BEHIND ANY CACTUS.
WOW, THE JAVELINA, THE
WILD PIG OF THIS DESERT REGION.
PIGS CAN BE TOUGH, SO
A FULL GROWN JAVELINA
MIGHT BE ONE OF THE HARDER
THINGS FOR AN OCELOT TO TACKLE.
BUT A PIGLET, OR A
YOUNG ONE, IS FAIR GAME.
OCELOTS, LIKE A LOT OF
WILD CATS, AREN’T PICKY.
THEY’LL EAT SMALLER
PACKETS OF PROTEIN, TOO.
LIKE INSECTS AND ARACHNIDS.
THIS IS A DESERT HAIRY SCORPION.
THEIR TAIL HAS A VENOMOUS
STINGER ON THE END.
BUT FOR AN OCELOT, THE STING
IS ONLY AS BAD AS A BEE STING.
SO OCELOTS GOBBLE
THESE GUYS DOWN.
BUT STILL NO LUCK
FINDING OCELOTS.
Martin says THEY’RE VERY
GOOD AT HIDING,
ESPECIALLY WHEN SNEAKING UP
ON UNSUSPECTING PREY.
AN OCELOT CAN EASILY
CATCH A SMALL REPTILE
LIKE A SPINY LIZARD
OR AN IGUANA.
BUT THEY WOULD HAVE A
MUCH HARDER TIME TACKLING
THE VENOMOUS REPTILES
LIKE A GILA MONSTER
WITH A STRONG, POWERFUL JAW.
OR A RATTLESNAKE.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT A HUNGRY
WILD CAT IS GONNA TRY TO EAT.
WHEW, WE’RE STILL
SEARCHING FOR THAT OCELOT
OF THE SONORAN DESERT.
Chris says AND WE COULD BE
SEARCHING FOR A LONG TIME.
Martin says KEEP ON
CREATURE ADVENTURING.
Chris says WE’LL SEE YOU ON
THE CREATURE TRAIL.
Music plays as the end credits roll.
