Transcript: The Vanishing Stingray
Music plays as the Wild Kratts logo pops up and a voice says Wild Kratts!
Then, a globe spins and the Caribbean sea appears highlighted. A clip shows the Kratt brothers on a boat.
The Kratt brothers appear. Chris wears a green shirt and Martin wears a blue shirt.
Chris says OVER 70 percent OF THE
EARTH IS COVERED BY WATER.
WITH 90 percent FOUND IN THE OCEANS.
WE'RE HERE OFF AN ISLAND
CALLED GRAND CAYMAN.
IT'S US, THE KRATT BROTHERS.
I'M CHRIS...
WHERE'S MARTIN?
MARTIN? MARTIN?
On the creature pad, Martin says I'M HERE BRO.
Chris says HEY, THERE YOU ARE!
Martin says RIGHT HERE AT THE
CANADIAN MUSEUM OF NATURE,
IN THE FISH LAB.
I'M LOOKING AT A
SPECIAL GROUP OF FISHES.
THE CHONDRICHTHYES.
ALSO CALLED THE
CARTILAGINOUS FISHES
BECAUSE THEIR SKELETONS
ARE MADE OUT OF CARTILAGE.
NOW CARTILAGE IS A SUBSTANCE
THAT'S STRONG,
BUT MORE BENDABLE THAN BONE.
YOU HAVE CARTILAGE
IN YOUR EARS
AND THE TIP OF YOUR NOSE.
AND SHARK'S JAWS ARE
MADE OUT OF CARTILAGE.
CARTILAGINOUS FISHES ARE
A GROUP THAT INCLUDE SHARKS,
SKATES AND RAYS.
AND YOUR CREATURE
MISSION CHRIS,
SHOULD YOU CHOOSE
TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO FIND US A
CARTILAGINOUS FISH.
In a diving suit, Chris says I ACCEPT.
He jumps in the water and says I WAS PRETTY CONFIDENT I'D
FIND A CARTILAGINOUS FISH
OUT HERE IN THE OCEAN,
AND I WAS RIGHT!
STINGRAYS!
BUT I DIDN'T FIND JUST ONE.
I FOUND A GROUP OF STINGRAYS.
I WAS SURROUNDED BY THEM.
THIS CARTILAGINOUS FISH PACKS
A LOT OF CREATURE POWER.
FLAPPING WING FINS.
AND A TAIL WITH A VENOMOUS BARB.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE COULD
SWIM THE SEAS LIKE A STINGRAY.
IMAGINE IF WE HAD
STINGRAY POWER.
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 "The vanishing stingray."
In the Tortuga under sea, Chris says I DON'T SEE ANY ANIMALS.
Martin says YEAH, ME NEITHER.
(SIGH)
HEY, DO YOU WANT TO PLAY
CREATURE HIDE AND SEEK?
Chris says I DON'T KNOW.
Martin says HEY, COME ON.
IT COULD BE FUN.
LIKE WE COULD ACTIVATE SOME
CREATURE POWERS AND HIDE,
AND THEN THE REST OF THE
GANG WILL TRY TO FIND US.
Chris says YEAH, BUT THERE ISN'T
REALLY ANYWHERE TO HIDE
OUT HERE IN THE SAND FLATS.
SO THEY'LL FIND US
WITHOUT EVEN TRYING.
Martin says BUT THERE
ARE SOME CREATURES
THAT HIDE UNDER THE SAND.
YOU THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING?
Chris says I'M DEFINITELY THINKING
WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
They say LET'S GO FIND
A SAND HIDING CREATURE!
Chris says BUT WE'LL
NEED AVIVA'S HELP.
Martin says OH, YEAH, BUT
HOW ARE WE GOING TO
TELL HER ABOUT
OUR SECRET MISSION
WITHOUT KOKI AND
JIMMY FINDING OUT?
Chris says I'VE GOT A PLAN FOR THAT.
AND YOU CAN HELP ME.
Martin says OOH, A DWARF GECKO.
Chris says THE SMALLEST
GECKO IN THE CARIBBEAN.
Martin says BUT HOW'S HE
GOING TO HELP YOU?
(GASPS)
WITH HIS...
CLIMB-ANYWHERE-EVEN-UPSIDE
DOWN-STICK ANYWHERE POWERS?
Chris says EXACTLY.
INSERT GECKO POWER DISC.
TOUCH GECKO.
ACTIVATE GECKO POWERS!
Chris inserts the disc, touches the dwarf gecko and morphs one.
Chris says THE GECKO EFFECT.
Martin says NICE BRO.
ALRIGHT!
TALK ABOUT STICKING THE LANDING.
Chris says OKAY, MY CREATURE
MISSION IS TO TELL AVIVA
ABOUT OUR PLAN WITHOUT KOKI
AND JIMMY Z FINDING OUT.
Martin says GOOD LUCK!
Chris says OH HO. NOTHING LIKE
CLIMBING WITH THE GECKO'S
ELECTRICAL CLINGING POWER.
(ADVENTUROUS MUSIC)
(music plays)
Meanwhile on another area of the Tortuga, Jimmy, Aviva, and Koki put together a puzzle.
Jimmy says SO THIS GOES HERE.
OOH...AND THIS GOES HERE.
Koki says JIMMY...
Jimmy says WHAT?
Koki says WE'VE GOT TO
FINISH THE BORDER FIRST.
PERFECT.
Aviva says THIS LOOKS
LIKE PART OF AN EYE.
Chris climbs up Aviva's body.
Aviva says AAAAAH!
Koki says HUH?
Jimmy says WHAT IS IT?
Chris whispers in Aviva's ear and says AVIVA!
IT'S ME. DON'T GIVE ME AWAY.
Aviva says UH...OKAY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Koki says HUH? WE'RE DOING A PUZZLE?
Aviva says UM...RIGHT. PUZZLE.
Jimmy says YOU'RE ACTING
A LITTLE STRANGE.
Aviva says ME? STRANGE?
(NERVOUS LAUGHTER)
Zach watch the scene in his ship and says AVIVA ACTING STRANGE?
HA! TELL ME SOMETHING
I DON'T KNOW.
Chris says THANKS AVIVA
Aviva says WHAT IS IT?
Chris says IT'S A SECRET.
(WHISPERING)
Zach says A SECRET?
WHAT'S THE SECRET?
STOP WHISPERING!
I MUST HEAR THE SECRET.
NOBODY KEEPS A SECRET FROM ME.
MAXIMUM VOLUME!
Chris says A CREATURE POWER SUIT
THAT IS SO GOOD AT HIDING...
THEY'LL NEVER FIND US.
Zach says SO GOOD AT HIDING, HUH?
IPSO FACTO,
THAT MEANS SO GREAT FOR SPYING!
BUT WHAT'S THE CREATURE?
I COULDN'T HEAR.
AW...SNEAKY WHISPERING WILD RAT.
Meanwhile at the Tortuga, Martin wears a diving suit and says THE SWIMMING BROTHER IS
ALWAYS READY FOR DIVE TIME!
AND MY CREATURE MISSION.
He jumps in the water.
(SPLASH)
He says TO FIND THE MYSTERY CREATURE
WITH THE HIDE AND SEEK POWERS.
Chris says WE NEED TO KEEP WHAT
WE'RE DOING A SECRET.
SO LET'S GO TO YOUR
INVENTION STATION.
COME ON.
Aviva says OKAY.
Koki says OKAY, WHAT?
Aviva says UH... I'M GOING.
Koki says WHERE'S SHE GOING?
Jimmy says I DON'T KNOW, BUT
SHE'S REALLY ACTING WEIRD.
Koki says OOH, I FOUND A
PIECE OF THE TAIL.
ONLY 888 PIECES TO GO.
Aviva laughs and says IT'S
FUN HAVING A PET GECKO.
Chris says I AM NOT YOUR PET GECKO.
Aviva says A CUTE LITTLE
TALKING PET GECKO.
COOCHIE, COOCHIE, COO.
(LAUGHTER)
Chris says STOP IT AVIVA.
I AM NOT A PET.
REMEMBER, WE'RE ON A MISSION.
Aviva says RIGHT.
Chris says THERE GOES MARTIN.
Martin says THE CREATURE
POWER I'M LOOKING FOR
IS HIDING IN THE SAND
AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
Aviva says I BETTER GO AND
SET UP THE CREATURE POWER
PROGRAMMING EQUIPMENT.
Chris says GREAT!
Martin says NOTHING. HMM...
OKAY MARTIN.
SEARCH IMAGE IS TWO EYES.
THE ONLY PART THAT IS VISIBLE.
LOOK FOR TWO EYES
STICKING OUT OF THE SAND.
HMM...THERE!
I FOUND YOU!
OOH...ALWAYS APPROACH
THIS CREATURE CAREFULLY.
Aviva says MARTIN, WHAT IS IT?
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
Martin says ARE YOU READY TO
MEET THIS MYSTERY CREATURE?
Chris says WELL THAT'S
EASY TO ANSWER.
Chris and Aviva say YES!
Martin says OKAY THEN...
SAY HELLO TOOO...
THE STINGRAY!
A stingray comes out of the sand.
Aviva says WOW...
Chris says WOO HOO...WOW!
SO COOL!
Martin says OH YEAH!
STINGRAYS ARE AN
ANCIENT SPECIES.
THEY EXISTED DURING THE
TIME OF THE DINOSAURS
AND STILL SURVIVE TODAY.
IN FACT, THERE ARE 630
DIFFERENT SPECIES OF RAY
AND THIS IS THE
SOUTHERN STINGRAY.
OH, THE STINGRAY LOOKS
PRETTY TOUGH ON TOP,
BUT UNDERNEATH, THEY
HAVE A SMILEY FACE.
OH THAT'S IT. I'M GOING
TO CALL YOU...SMILEY!
HEY, WAIT UP SMILEY!
Aviva says OKAY, DATA
COLLECTION TIME.
TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE
OBSERVING BRO'S.
Chris says ON IT.
Martin says OKAY, TRIANGULAR BODY
SHAPE, HEAD ON FRONT POINT.
Chris says TWO EYES ON
TOP OF THE HEAD.
MOUTH ON THE BOTTOM.
Aviva says OOH...THAT'S COOL.
Martin swims alongside the ray and says LEATHERY PECTORAL FINS
MOVE LIKE WINGS FLAPPING,
WITH A RISING AND
FALLING, OR UNDULATING,
WAVE MOTION THAT MOVES
THE STINGRAY FORWARD.
HE'S SETTLING ON THE SAND.
AND NOW GET READY FOR
ONE, BUT NOT THE ONLY,
WORLD FAMOUS CREATURE POWER
OF THIS MAGNIFICENT CREATURE
THE STINGRAY WILL
NOW...DISAPPEAR.
Aviva says DISAPPEAR?
Martin says YES, LOOK.
UNDULATING ITS FINS,
MOVING THEM UP AND DOWN,
THE STINGRAY QUICKLY
FLIPS SAND ON ITSELF.
AND THIS ALL CAUSES THE STINGRAY
TO VIRTUALLY DISAPPEAR.
Zach says A STINGRAY?
SO THAT'S THE CREATURE WITH THE
POWERS THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
AND IT CAN DISAPPEAR
IN THE WATER?
HMM...THAT MAY JUST HELP BECAUSE
I HAVE BEEN HAVING
ONE LITTLE GLITCH
WITH MY INVISIBILITY CLOAK.
IT WORKS PERFECT WHEN DRY,
BUT WHEN IT GETS WATER ON
IT...THERE'S A PROBLEM.
ZACHBOT, SPRAY ME!
The Zachbot sprays water on Zach's face.
Zach says AAAH!
I MEANT THE CLOAK, NOT MY FACE!
YOU CAN SEE IT WHEN IT'S WET!
SO MAYBE THE STINGRAY POWER
DISCS WILL HAVE THE SECRET
TO FIXING MY INVISIBILITY CLOAK.
I MUST GET THOSE
CREATURE POWER DISCS
AND STEAL THEIR TECHNOLOGY!
HA, HA, HA HA!
In the water, Martin says THE STINGRAY
IS SOOO COOL!
AND EVEN ITS EYES ARE
COLORED LIKE SAND.
ONLY ITS EYES LOOK OUT ON
TOP LOOKING FOR PREDATORS.
(CLICKING SOUND)
A couple of dolphins come along to play with Martin.
Martin says HEY CLICK!
(LAUGHS)
HI...AND WHISTLE!
(LAUGHING)
GUYS, THAT TICKLES!
WHAT'RE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?
(CLICKING SOUNDS)
Martin says OF COURSE - YOU LIVE OUT HERE
ON THE CARIBBEAN SAND FLATS.
OH, AND YOU ARE THE PREDATORS
THE STINGRAY IS HIDING FROM.
UH-OH.
I THINK THEY WERE WATCHING
WHERE THE STINGRAY WAS HIDING.
The dolphins chase the stingray.
Martin says CLICK, WHISTLE, BE CAREFUL!
STINGRAYS HAVE A DEFENSE.
WATCH OUT FOR THEIR WHIP
TAIL WITH A STINGER!
BABY DOLPHINS NEVER LISTEN.
WHOA!
The dolphin start poking the stingray.
Aviva says WHOA!
Chris says THAT IS ONE
DANGEROUS DEFENSE.
THE TAIL GOES UP
AND THE BARB COMES OUT
TOWARDS THE THREAT.
IF IT HITS THE TARGET,
VENOM CAN ENTER THE WOUND.
OH, IT'S REALLY DAMAGING.
Aviva says YEAH, MARTIN
TELL THOSE CUTE LITTLE
DOLPHIN BABIES TO BE CAREFUL!
Martin says I'M TRYING.
AVIVA, SAYS YOU
SHOULD BE CAREFUL.
The dolphins swim around Martin in circles.
Martin says AAH...OOH...
THEY DON'T REALLY LISTEN.
WELL, NOT TO ME ANYWAY.
BUT I THINK MOM'S GOTTEN
THEM UNDER CONTROL.
SHE'LL HAVE TO TEACH THEM HOW
TO DEAL WITH STINGRAY BARBS.
Chris says HEY, MARTIN?
Martin says GO BRO.
Chris says WHERE'D SMILEY GO?
Martin says UH...
THERE! NOW HE'S HUNTING.
OH, HEY AVIVA,
DID YOU KNOW THAT STINGRAYS
ARE RELATED TO SHARKS?
Aviva says REALLY?
Chris says OH YEAH!
I'LL SHOW YOU.
SHARKS AND RAYS ARE IN A GROUP
OF CARTILAGINOUS FISHES.
THE SCIENTIFIC NAME OF THE
GROUP IS CHONDRICHTHYES.
Aviva says THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.
SO THEY'RE NOT BONY FISHES.
Chris says THAT'S RIGHT.
SHARKS AND RAYS HAVE NO BONES.
Aviva says INTERESTING.
SO THEIR SKELETONS ARE
MADE UP OF CARTILAGE.
THE SAME KIND OF CARTILAGE
THAT GIVES THE SHAPE
TO OUR EARS AND NOSE.
AND IS MORE FLEXIBLE THAN BONE.
Chris says AND THE STINGRAY
HAS REALLY POWERFUL JAWS.
SO ONCE IT CATCHES ITS PREY,
IT CAN CRUNCH THROUGH
ITS SHELL EASILY.
Aviva says GOT IT. POWERFUL JAWS...
PLUS UNDULATING FINS,
WITH SAND COVERING POWERS...
PERISCOPE EYES...
AND A DYNAMIC DEFENSE OF A TAIL
WITH A BARB WITH
A VENOMOUS STING.
THIS IS GOING TO BE
ONE POWER PACKED
CREATURE POWER DISC!
PROGRAMMING NOW.
STINGRAY POWER
PROGRAMMING COMPLETE.
Zach says GOOD. THE CREATURE
POWER DISCS ARE READY.
ZACHBOTS...
TIME TO STEAL THOSE
DISCS FROM THE WILD RATS.
C'MON - LET'S BOUNCE!
The Zachbots start bouncing around him.
Zach says AW...I DIDN'T MEAN LITERALLY!
OH...YOU CAN STOP BOUNCING NOW.
(EVIL LAUGHTER)
Zach and the Zachbots fly off the ship.
In the Tortuga, Aviva says OKAY, DISCS ARE READY.
CHRIS, ALL SET?
Now in human form and wearing a diving suit, Chris says I SURE AM.
WHEN A NEW CREATURE
ADVENTURE CALLS,
I'M READY TO ROLL.
Aviva says GREAT!
Martin says ALRIGHT WELL ROLL
ME MY STINGRAY POWER DISC.
Chris says ON IT. THANKS AVIVA!
Chris jumps in the water.
(SPLASH)
Aviva says GOOD LUCK!
Now the brothers swim together close to the bottom of the ocean.
Chris says SO, WHERE ARE
ALL THE STINGRAYS?
Martin says HIDDEN IN THE SAND.
Chris says I KNOW, BUT WHERE?
Martin says NOW THAT WE HAVE
STINGRAY POWER DISCS,
I CAN'T FIND A SINGLE STINGRAY.
Chris says MARTIN, YOU JUST
GOT TO STAY FOCUSED.
Martin says I AM FOCUSED.
Chris says GOT ONE!
Martin says NOT FAIR.
Chris says HEY BUDDY!
INSERT STINGRAY POWER DISC.
TOUCH STINGRAY.
ACTIVATE STINGRAY POWERS!
Chris morphs into a stingray and says AWESOME. WOO HOO!
I HAVE FAST MOVING
STINGRAY POWERS!
Martin says WHOA!
WHOA...HEY...WATCH WHERE YOU'RE
GOING WITH THE STINGRAY BARB.
Chris says OOPS, SORRY MARTIN.
Martin says NO PROBLEM BRO,
BECAUSE THAT IS ONE
SUPER-COOL STINGRAY POWER SUIT.
OKAY, NOW MY TURN TO
TOUCH THE STINGRAY.
HEY...WHERE'D HE GO?
THERE!
INSERT STINGRAY POWER DISC.
TOUCH STINGRAY...
ACTIVATE STINGRAY POWER!
HUH?
Martin morphs into a flounder looking creature.
He says SOMETHING'S WRONG!
CREATURE POWER SUIT MALFUNCTION!
Chris says WHOA BRO,
IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE
YOU HAVE STINGRAY POWERS.
Aviva says OH NO! WHAT
COULD'VE GONE WRONG?
WHAT HAPPENED?
Martin says I DON'T KNOW.
I PRESSED THE DISC
WHILE I WAS TOUCHING
THIS STINGRAY.
Aviva says WAIT A SECOND.
ZOOMING IN. OH NO.
YOUR PRIMARY PAW
ICON IS CRACKED.
THAT'S WHAT CAUSED
THE MALFUNCTION.
Martin says WHAT?
Chris says AND I THINK YOU
DIDN'T TOUCH A STINGRAY BRO.
YOU TOUCHED A FLOUNDER.
Martin says A FLOUNDER?!
OH...A FLOUNDER.
Chris says THAT SURE IS
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
YEP, YOU'RE PRETTY FLAT.
Martin says OH, FLOUNDERS
ARE COOL FISH
AND THEY CAN HIDE TOO, BUT
I WANTED STINGRAY POWERS.
(CLICKING SOUND)
Martin says OH, CLICK AND WHISTLE.
HEY I KNOW I MAY
LOOK A LITTLE FUNNY,
BUT IT'S STILL ME. MARTIN.
HEY GUYS, DON'T LAUGH.
AW, YOU'RE SO SMART,
YOU KNOW IT'S ME.
Chris says WHAT THEY KNOW IS
YOU'RE NOT REALLY A FLOUNDER.
WHAT FLOUNDER RUNS AROUND
THE SANDY BOTTOM LIKE THAT?
Martin says THIS KIND!
(LAUGHING)
OKAY...WHOA...
The dolphins poke Martin around.
Martin says I GUESS NOW WE'RE PLAYING
FLOUNDER IN THE MIDDLE.
WHOA!
Zach and the Zachbots approach the Tortuga.
On his hovering station, Zach says THERE'S THE TORTUGA.
THE WILD RATS MUST BE NEAR BY.
ZACHBOTS!
OVER HERE!
I'M INVISIBLE, REMEMBER?
NOW LISTEN UP!
I NEED THOSE POWER
DISCS TO FIX MY CLOAK!
DIVE, ZACHBOTS, DIVE!
As they dive in the water, the Zachbots splash water on Zach and he becomes visible again.
Zach says AAH!
Aviva giggles and says THOSE DOLPHINS
SURE LIKE TO PLAY.
I BET MARTIN'S GETTING TIRED.
(LAUGHS)
As she spots the Zachbots, Aviva gasps and says ZACHBOTS! OH NO.
CHRIS, MARTIN...
INCOMING ZACHBOTS.
Martin says ZACHBOTS?
WHAT ARE THEY AFTER?
Chris says DON'T KNOW.
BUT I THINK WE SHOULD...
The brothers say HIDE!
They both hide in the sand.
Chris says WITH THESE
CREATURE POWERS,
I CAN SEE THE ZACHBOTS,
BUT THEY CAN'T SEE ME.
HERE THEY COME.
GET READY FOR A STINGRAY...
Chris jumps up and hits one of the Zachbots.
He says SURPRISE!
BARB TAIL DEFENSE.
(ZAP)
GOTCHA!
(KABOOM)
Chris says YEAH! STINGRAY POWER!
ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO.
Martin says OH HO. NICE ONE BRO!
WAY TO USE THOSE
STINGRAY POWERS.
One of the remaining Zachbots uses laser beams to scan the sand.
Martin says OOPS.
WHEW.
Chris says HEY ZACHBOT? OVER HERE.
ZACHBOTS NEVER LEARN.
IF YOU CHASE A STINGRAY,
YOU'D BETTER WATCH OUT FOR
THE STING OF THE TAIL.
Chris whips his tail against the Zachbot and says BULLS-EYE.
(KABOOM)
The Zachbot explodes.
Chris says THAT'S HOW A STINGRAY
HANDLES PREDATORS.
Martin says AWESOME BRO!
YOU GOT HIM!
The last Zachbot looks down at the sand.
Martin says UH-OH. I DID IT AGAIN.
IF HIDING DOESN'T WORK,
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING
FOR A FLOUNDER TO DO.
RUN!
Chris says WHAT? MARTIN, A
FLOUNDER'S A FISH,
SWIM!
Martin says AAAAAAHHHH!
Chris says OH BROTHER, TALK
ABOUT A MALFUNCTION.
TO THE MARTIN RESCUE!
Martin says AAAHAAAHH!
Chris says I'M NOT GOING
TO MAKE IT IN TIME.
Martin says AND IN THIS MALFUNCTION,
I CAN'T EVEN SWIM.
WHOAA...
AAAH...
THE ZACHBOT WANTS TO
FILLET THIS FLOUNDER!
(WOOSH)
The dolphins grab the Zachbot by its arms and wrap them around its body.
Martin says HUH? CLICK!
WHISTLE!
NICE JOB.
(LAUGHING)
The Zachbot releases himself and pulls out nets.
Martin says OH.
NETS!
NETS. OH NO, NETS! AAAH!
Chris says HANG ON MARTIN!
Martin says HURRY CHRIS!
THIS ZACHBOT WANTS ME TO
BE THE CATCH OF THE DAY.
Chris says NOT ON MY WATCH!
STINGRAY SMASH!
Chris destroys the Zachbot.
(KABOOM)
Martin says YEAHHH!
Aviva says YEAH! THAT'S
HOW YOU DO IT!
A tiny Zach hologram comes out of the Zachbot's head and says NOOO!
I'LL GET YOU NEXT
TIME, WILD RATS!
The brothers say THAT'S WILD KRATTS!
Martin says CLICK, WHISTLE,
TELL HIM IN DOLPHINESE.
Zach says DOLPHIN WHAT?
The dolphins start playing with the Zachbot's head.
Zach says LEAVE MY HOLOGRAM ALONE!
STOP IT! HEY!
WHAAAAHHH!
They send Zach's hologram and the head back up to the surface.
(SPLASH)
Martin says HEY, SO WHAT
DID ZACH WANT ANYWAY?
Chris says DON'T KNOW,
BUT I DON'T THINK HE GOT IT.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP GUYS.
Martin says YEAH, CLICK AND WHISTLE,
YOU SAVED THIS FLOUNDER!
AND WE FOUND OUR HIDE
AND SEEK CREATURE SO,
THAT'S A CREATURE
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Chris says YEAH!
WELL, I LEARNED ONE THING.
STINGRAYS HAVE A SMASHINGLY
EFFECTIVE DEFENSE.
Martin says AND I LEARNED
ONE THING TOO.
MAKE SURE WHEN YOU
ACTIVATE STINGRAY POWERS,
YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING A FLOUNDER.
(LAUGHS)
DEACTIVATE.
Martin goes back to human form.
Chris says WANT A RIDE BRO?
Martin jumps on Chris' back and says YEAH, STINGRAY STYLE!
WOO HOO...YEAH!
(LAUGHING)
WHOA!
Back in the Tortuga, Koki says ONLY ONE PIECE LEFT.
DO YOU HAVE IT JIMMY?
Jimmy says UH...NOPE.
Aviva says HEY GUYS!
WHO'S UP FOR A GAME OF
CREATURE HIDE AND SEEK?
Chris says OH YEAH! FUN.
Martin says YEAH!
Jimmy says A GAME
OF HIDE AND SEEK?
COUNT ME IN.
Koki says YEAH I'D BE DOWN FOR THAT.
JUST AS SOON AS WE
FINISH OUR PUZZLE.
Jimmy says BUT WE'RE
MISSING A PIECE.
Chris says HUH. WONDER WHERE IT IS?
Martin says HEY...OW...I'VE
GOT SOMETHING IN MY BOOT.
Koki says WHAT?
(SPLUT)
Martin says HUH? WHAT'S THIS?
IT'S THE MISSING PUZZLE PIECE!
Koki says AWESOME AND
IT GOES RIGHT HERE.
Aviva says IT'S A STINGRAY!
Martin laughs and says WE FOUND TWO IN ONE DAY!
STINGRAYS ARE HIDING EVERYWHERE.
Everyone laughs.
Now the show turns back to real life.
At the museum, Martin says THE CARTILAGINOUS FISH
ARE A SUPER COOL
GROUP OF FISHES,
BUT, THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER
BIG GROUP OF FISH TOO.
BASED ON WHAT THEIR
SKELETONS ARE MADE OF.
BONE. THE BONY FISHES!
AND MOST FISH IN THE WORLD
HAVE SKELETONS MADE OF BONE.
ALL WITH UNIQUE FEATURES.
LIKE THIS COLORFUL PARROT FISH
WITH ITS BIRD-LIKE BEAK.
OR THE BARRACUDA WITH IT'S
TORPEDO-SHAPED BODY
AND RAZOR-SHARP TEETH.
IN FACT, THERE ARE OVER
25,000 DIFFERENT SPECIES
OF BONY FISHES IN THE WORLD.
Chris says WHILE RAYS AND SKATES
MAY NOT HAVE 25,000 SPECIES,
THERE ARE SO MANY
DIFFERENT TYPES.
630!
Martin says YEAH, THERE ARE
THAT MANY DIFFERENT KINDS,
BUT THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME BASIC
FLATTENED BODY SHAPE.
WIDE AND TRIANGULAR.
LIKE THE GIANT MANTA RAY.
THE LARGEST RAY IN THE WORLD.
THESE MANTAS ARE FILTER FEEDERS,
SWALLOWING UP FOOD
IN THEIR BIG MOUTHS.
AND OTHER RAYS, LIKE
THIS SPOTTED STINGRAY,
ARE BENTHIC FEEDERS.
MEANING, THEY HUNT ALONG
THE SEA BOTTOM FOR PREY.
Chris says OR THE SOUTHERN STINGRAY.
BECAUSE THEIR EYES ARE
ON TOP OF THEIR HEADS,
THEY CAN'T SEE THEIR PREY.
SO THEY HAVE TO USE
THEIR OTHER SENSES
TO FIND THEIR FOOD.
AND UNLIKE OTHER FISH,
THEIR MOUTHS AND GILLS
ARE ON THEIR BELLY.
LOVE THAT SMILEY FACE!
THEY USE THEIR WING-LIKE FINS
TO CRUISE THROUGH THE WATER,
BUT ARE CAPABLE OF BURSTS
OF SPEED TO ESCAPE DANGER.
STINGRAYS ARE MASTERS
OF CAMOUFLAGE.
THEY CAN HIDE UNDER THE SAND
WITH ONLY THEIR EYES STICKING
OUT TO KEEP A LOOK OUT.
THEY ARE REALLY GENTLE,
BUT YOU NEED TO
WATCH OUT BECAUSE
THEIR TAIL HAS A VENOMOUS BARB
THAT THEY USE FOR DEFENSE.
CARTILAGINOUS FISHES
ARE AN AMAZING
GROUP OF CREATURES.
Martin says OH YEAH. THEY SURE ARE!
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 the Caribbean sea appears highlighted. A clip shows the Kratt brothers on a boat.
The Kratt brothers appear. Chris wears a green shirt and Martin wears a blue shirt.
Chris says OVER 70 percent OF THE
EARTH IS COVERED BY WATER.
WITH 90 percent FOUND IN THE OCEANS.
WE'RE HERE OFF AN ISLAND
CALLED GRAND CAYMAN.
IT'S US, THE KRATT BROTHERS.
I'M CHRIS...
WHERE'S MARTIN?
MARTIN? MARTIN?
On the creature pad, Martin says I'M HERE BRO.
Chris says HEY, THERE YOU ARE!
Martin says RIGHT HERE AT THE
CANADIAN MUSEUM OF NATURE,
IN THE FISH LAB.
I'M LOOKING AT A
SPECIAL GROUP OF FISHES.
THE CHONDRICHTHYES.
ALSO CALLED THE
CARTILAGINOUS FISHES
BECAUSE THEIR SKELETONS
ARE MADE OUT OF CARTILAGE.
NOW CARTILAGE IS A SUBSTANCE
THAT'S STRONG,
BUT MORE BENDABLE THAN BONE.
YOU HAVE CARTILAGE
IN YOUR EARS
AND THE TIP OF YOUR NOSE.
AND SHARK'S JAWS ARE
MADE OUT OF CARTILAGE.
CARTILAGINOUS FISHES ARE
A GROUP THAT INCLUDE SHARKS,
SKATES AND RAYS.
AND YOUR CREATURE
MISSION CHRIS,
SHOULD YOU CHOOSE
TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO FIND US A
CARTILAGINOUS FISH.
In a diving suit, Chris says I ACCEPT.
He jumps in the water and says I WAS PRETTY CONFIDENT I'D
FIND A CARTILAGINOUS FISH
OUT HERE IN THE OCEAN,
AND I WAS RIGHT!
STINGRAYS!
BUT I DIDN'T FIND JUST ONE.
I FOUND A GROUP OF STINGRAYS.
I WAS SURROUNDED BY THEM.
THIS CARTILAGINOUS FISH PACKS
A LOT OF CREATURE POWER.
FLAPPING WING FINS.
AND A TAIL WITH A VENOMOUS BARB.
Martin says IMAGINE IF WE COULD
SWIM THE SEAS LIKE A STINGRAY.
IMAGINE IF WE HAD
STINGRAY POWER.
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 "The vanishing stingray."
In the Tortuga under sea, Chris says I DON'T SEE ANY ANIMALS.
Martin says YEAH, ME NEITHER.
(SIGH)
HEY, DO YOU WANT TO PLAY
CREATURE HIDE AND SEEK?
Chris says I DON'T KNOW.
Martin says HEY, COME ON.
IT COULD BE FUN.
LIKE WE COULD ACTIVATE SOME
CREATURE POWERS AND HIDE,
AND THEN THE REST OF THE
GANG WILL TRY TO FIND US.
Chris says YEAH, BUT THERE ISN'T
REALLY ANYWHERE TO HIDE
OUT HERE IN THE SAND FLATS.
SO THEY'LL FIND US
WITHOUT EVEN TRYING.
Martin says BUT THERE
ARE SOME CREATURES
THAT HIDE UNDER THE SAND.
YOU THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING?
Chris says I'M DEFINITELY THINKING
WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
They say LET'S GO FIND
A SAND HIDING CREATURE!
Chris says BUT WE'LL
NEED AVIVA'S HELP.
Martin says OH, YEAH, BUT
HOW ARE WE GOING TO
TELL HER ABOUT
OUR SECRET MISSION
WITHOUT KOKI AND
JIMMY FINDING OUT?
Chris says I'VE GOT A PLAN FOR THAT.
AND YOU CAN HELP ME.
Martin says OOH, A DWARF GECKO.
Chris says THE SMALLEST
GECKO IN THE CARIBBEAN.
Martin says BUT HOW'S HE
GOING TO HELP YOU?
(GASPS)
WITH HIS...
CLIMB-ANYWHERE-EVEN-UPSIDE
DOWN-STICK ANYWHERE POWERS?
Chris says EXACTLY.
INSERT GECKO POWER DISC.
TOUCH GECKO.
ACTIVATE GECKO POWERS!
Chris inserts the disc, touches the dwarf gecko and morphs one.
Chris says THE GECKO EFFECT.
Martin says NICE BRO.
ALRIGHT!
TALK ABOUT STICKING THE LANDING.
Chris says OKAY, MY CREATURE
MISSION IS TO TELL AVIVA
ABOUT OUR PLAN WITHOUT KOKI
AND JIMMY Z FINDING OUT.
Martin says GOOD LUCK!
Chris says OH HO. NOTHING LIKE
CLIMBING WITH THE GECKO'S
ELECTRICAL CLINGING POWER.
(ADVENTUROUS MUSIC)
(music plays)
Meanwhile on another area of the Tortuga, Jimmy, Aviva, and Koki put together a puzzle.
Jimmy says SO THIS GOES HERE.
OOH...AND THIS GOES HERE.
Koki says JIMMY...
Jimmy says WHAT?
Koki says WE'VE GOT TO
FINISH THE BORDER FIRST.
PERFECT.
Aviva says THIS LOOKS
LIKE PART OF AN EYE.
Chris climbs up Aviva's body.
Aviva says AAAAAH!
Koki says HUH?
Jimmy says WHAT IS IT?
Chris whispers in Aviva's ear and says AVIVA!
IT'S ME. DON'T GIVE ME AWAY.
Aviva says UH...OKAY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Koki says HUH? WE'RE DOING A PUZZLE?
Aviva says UM...RIGHT. PUZZLE.
Jimmy says YOU'RE ACTING
A LITTLE STRANGE.
Aviva says ME? STRANGE?
(NERVOUS LAUGHTER)
Zach watch the scene in his ship and says AVIVA ACTING STRANGE?
HA! TELL ME SOMETHING
I DON'T KNOW.
Chris says THANKS AVIVA
Aviva says WHAT IS IT?
Chris says IT'S A SECRET.
(WHISPERING)
Zach says A SECRET?
WHAT'S THE SECRET?
STOP WHISPERING!
I MUST HEAR THE SECRET.
NOBODY KEEPS A SECRET FROM ME.
MAXIMUM VOLUME!
Chris says A CREATURE POWER SUIT
THAT IS SO GOOD AT HIDING...
THEY'LL NEVER FIND US.
Zach says SO GOOD AT HIDING, HUH?
IPSO FACTO,
THAT MEANS SO GREAT FOR SPYING!
BUT WHAT'S THE CREATURE?
I COULDN'T HEAR.
AW...SNEAKY WHISPERING WILD RAT.
Meanwhile at the Tortuga, Martin wears a diving suit and says THE SWIMMING BROTHER IS
ALWAYS READY FOR DIVE TIME!
AND MY CREATURE MISSION.
He jumps in the water.
(SPLASH)
He says TO FIND THE MYSTERY CREATURE
WITH THE HIDE AND SEEK POWERS.
Chris says WE NEED TO KEEP WHAT
WE'RE DOING A SECRET.
SO LET'S GO TO YOUR
INVENTION STATION.
COME ON.
Aviva says OKAY.
Koki says OKAY, WHAT?
Aviva says UH... I'M GOING.
Koki says WHERE'S SHE GOING?
Jimmy says I DON'T KNOW, BUT
SHE'S REALLY ACTING WEIRD.
Koki says OOH, I FOUND A
PIECE OF THE TAIL.
ONLY 888 PIECES TO GO.
Aviva laughs and says IT'S
FUN HAVING A PET GECKO.
Chris says I AM NOT YOUR PET GECKO.
Aviva says A CUTE LITTLE
TALKING PET GECKO.
COOCHIE, COOCHIE, COO.
(LAUGHTER)
Chris says STOP IT AVIVA.
I AM NOT A PET.
REMEMBER, WE'RE ON A MISSION.
Aviva says RIGHT.
Chris says THERE GOES MARTIN.
Martin says THE CREATURE
POWER I'M LOOKING FOR
IS HIDING IN THE SAND
AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
Aviva says I BETTER GO AND
SET UP THE CREATURE POWER
PROGRAMMING EQUIPMENT.
Chris says GREAT!
Martin says NOTHING. HMM...
OKAY MARTIN.
SEARCH IMAGE IS TWO EYES.
THE ONLY PART THAT IS VISIBLE.
LOOK FOR TWO EYES
STICKING OUT OF THE SAND.
HMM...THERE!
I FOUND YOU!
OOH...ALWAYS APPROACH
THIS CREATURE CAREFULLY.
Aviva says MARTIN, WHAT IS IT?
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
Martin says ARE YOU READY TO
MEET THIS MYSTERY CREATURE?
Chris says WELL THAT'S
EASY TO ANSWER.
Chris and Aviva say YES!
Martin says OKAY THEN...
SAY HELLO TOOO...
THE STINGRAY!
A stingray comes out of the sand.
Aviva says WOW...
Chris says WOO HOO...WOW!
SO COOL!
Martin says OH YEAH!
STINGRAYS ARE AN
ANCIENT SPECIES.
THEY EXISTED DURING THE
TIME OF THE DINOSAURS
AND STILL SURVIVE TODAY.
IN FACT, THERE ARE 630
DIFFERENT SPECIES OF RAY
AND THIS IS THE
SOUTHERN STINGRAY.
OH, THE STINGRAY LOOKS
PRETTY TOUGH ON TOP,
BUT UNDERNEATH, THEY
HAVE A SMILEY FACE.
OH THAT'S IT. I'M GOING
TO CALL YOU...SMILEY!
HEY, WAIT UP SMILEY!
Aviva says OKAY, DATA
COLLECTION TIME.
TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE
OBSERVING BRO'S.
Chris says ON IT.
Martin says OKAY, TRIANGULAR BODY
SHAPE, HEAD ON FRONT POINT.
Chris says TWO EYES ON
TOP OF THE HEAD.
MOUTH ON THE BOTTOM.
Aviva says OOH...THAT'S COOL.
Martin swims alongside the ray and says LEATHERY PECTORAL FINS
MOVE LIKE WINGS FLAPPING,
WITH A RISING AND
FALLING, OR UNDULATING,
WAVE MOTION THAT MOVES
THE STINGRAY FORWARD.
HE'S SETTLING ON THE SAND.
AND NOW GET READY FOR
ONE, BUT NOT THE ONLY,
WORLD FAMOUS CREATURE POWER
OF THIS MAGNIFICENT CREATURE
THE STINGRAY WILL
NOW...DISAPPEAR.
Aviva says DISAPPEAR?
Martin says YES, LOOK.
UNDULATING ITS FINS,
MOVING THEM UP AND DOWN,
THE STINGRAY QUICKLY
FLIPS SAND ON ITSELF.
AND THIS ALL CAUSES THE STINGRAY
TO VIRTUALLY DISAPPEAR.
Zach says A STINGRAY?
SO THAT'S THE CREATURE WITH THE
POWERS THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
AND IT CAN DISAPPEAR
IN THE WATER?
HMM...THAT MAY JUST HELP BECAUSE
I HAVE BEEN HAVING
ONE LITTLE GLITCH
WITH MY INVISIBILITY CLOAK.
IT WORKS PERFECT WHEN DRY,
BUT WHEN IT GETS WATER ON
IT...THERE'S A PROBLEM.
ZACHBOT, SPRAY ME!
The Zachbot sprays water on Zach's face.
Zach says AAAH!
I MEANT THE CLOAK, NOT MY FACE!
YOU CAN SEE IT WHEN IT'S WET!
SO MAYBE THE STINGRAY POWER
DISCS WILL HAVE THE SECRET
TO FIXING MY INVISIBILITY CLOAK.
I MUST GET THOSE
CREATURE POWER DISCS
AND STEAL THEIR TECHNOLOGY!
HA, HA, HA HA!
In the water, Martin says THE STINGRAY
IS SOOO COOL!
AND EVEN ITS EYES ARE
COLORED LIKE SAND.
ONLY ITS EYES LOOK OUT ON
TOP LOOKING FOR PREDATORS.
(CLICKING SOUND)
A couple of dolphins come along to play with Martin.
Martin says HEY CLICK!
(LAUGHS)
HI...AND WHISTLE!
(LAUGHING)
GUYS, THAT TICKLES!
WHAT'RE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?
(CLICKING SOUNDS)
Martin says OF COURSE - YOU LIVE OUT HERE
ON THE CARIBBEAN SAND FLATS.
OH, AND YOU ARE THE PREDATORS
THE STINGRAY IS HIDING FROM.
UH-OH.
I THINK THEY WERE WATCHING
WHERE THE STINGRAY WAS HIDING.
The dolphins chase the stingray.
Martin says CLICK, WHISTLE, BE CAREFUL!
STINGRAYS HAVE A DEFENSE.
WATCH OUT FOR THEIR WHIP
TAIL WITH A STINGER!
BABY DOLPHINS NEVER LISTEN.
WHOA!
The dolphin start poking the stingray.
Aviva says WHOA!
Chris says THAT IS ONE
DANGEROUS DEFENSE.
THE TAIL GOES UP
AND THE BARB COMES OUT
TOWARDS THE THREAT.
IF IT HITS THE TARGET,
VENOM CAN ENTER THE WOUND.
OH, IT'S REALLY DAMAGING.
Aviva says YEAH, MARTIN
TELL THOSE CUTE LITTLE
DOLPHIN BABIES TO BE CAREFUL!
Martin says I'M TRYING.
AVIVA, SAYS YOU
SHOULD BE CAREFUL.
The dolphins swim around Martin in circles.
Martin says AAH...OOH...
THEY DON'T REALLY LISTEN.
WELL, NOT TO ME ANYWAY.
BUT I THINK MOM'S GOTTEN
THEM UNDER CONTROL.
SHE'LL HAVE TO TEACH THEM HOW
TO DEAL WITH STINGRAY BARBS.
Chris says HEY, MARTIN?
Martin says GO BRO.
Chris says WHERE'D SMILEY GO?
Martin says UH...
THERE! NOW HE'S HUNTING.
OH, HEY AVIVA,
DID YOU KNOW THAT STINGRAYS
ARE RELATED TO SHARKS?
Aviva says REALLY?
Chris says OH YEAH!
I'LL SHOW YOU.
SHARKS AND RAYS ARE IN A GROUP
OF CARTILAGINOUS FISHES.
THE SCIENTIFIC NAME OF THE
GROUP IS CHONDRICHTHYES.
Aviva says THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.
SO THEY'RE NOT BONY FISHES.
Chris says THAT'S RIGHT.
SHARKS AND RAYS HAVE NO BONES.
Aviva says INTERESTING.
SO THEIR SKELETONS ARE
MADE UP OF CARTILAGE.
THE SAME KIND OF CARTILAGE
THAT GIVES THE SHAPE
TO OUR EARS AND NOSE.
AND IS MORE FLEXIBLE THAN BONE.
Chris says AND THE STINGRAY
HAS REALLY POWERFUL JAWS.
SO ONCE IT CATCHES ITS PREY,
IT CAN CRUNCH THROUGH
ITS SHELL EASILY.
Aviva says GOT IT. POWERFUL JAWS...
PLUS UNDULATING FINS,
WITH SAND COVERING POWERS...
PERISCOPE EYES...
AND A DYNAMIC DEFENSE OF A TAIL
WITH A BARB WITH
A VENOMOUS STING.
THIS IS GOING TO BE
ONE POWER PACKED
CREATURE POWER DISC!
PROGRAMMING NOW.
STINGRAY POWER
PROGRAMMING COMPLETE.
Zach says GOOD. THE CREATURE
POWER DISCS ARE READY.
ZACHBOTS...
TIME TO STEAL THOSE
DISCS FROM THE WILD RATS.
C'MON - LET'S BOUNCE!
The Zachbots start bouncing around him.
Zach says AW...I DIDN'T MEAN LITERALLY!
OH...YOU CAN STOP BOUNCING NOW.
(EVIL LAUGHTER)
Zach and the Zachbots fly off the ship.
In the Tortuga, Aviva says OKAY, DISCS ARE READY.
CHRIS, ALL SET?
Now in human form and wearing a diving suit, Chris says I SURE AM.
WHEN A NEW CREATURE
ADVENTURE CALLS,
I'M READY TO ROLL.
Aviva says GREAT!
Martin says ALRIGHT WELL ROLL
ME MY STINGRAY POWER DISC.
Chris says ON IT. THANKS AVIVA!
Chris jumps in the water.
(SPLASH)
Aviva says GOOD LUCK!
Now the brothers swim together close to the bottom of the ocean.
Chris says SO, WHERE ARE
ALL THE STINGRAYS?
Martin says HIDDEN IN THE SAND.
Chris says I KNOW, BUT WHERE?
Martin says NOW THAT WE HAVE
STINGRAY POWER DISCS,
I CAN'T FIND A SINGLE STINGRAY.
Chris says MARTIN, YOU JUST
GOT TO STAY FOCUSED.
Martin says I AM FOCUSED.
Chris says GOT ONE!
Martin says NOT FAIR.
Chris says HEY BUDDY!
INSERT STINGRAY POWER DISC.
TOUCH STINGRAY.
ACTIVATE STINGRAY POWERS!
Chris morphs into a stingray and says AWESOME. WOO HOO!
I HAVE FAST MOVING
STINGRAY POWERS!
Martin says WHOA!
WHOA...HEY...WATCH WHERE YOU'RE
GOING WITH THE STINGRAY BARB.
Chris says OOPS, SORRY MARTIN.
Martin says NO PROBLEM BRO,
BECAUSE THAT IS ONE
SUPER-COOL STINGRAY POWER SUIT.
OKAY, NOW MY TURN TO
TOUCH THE STINGRAY.
HEY...WHERE'D HE GO?
THERE!
INSERT STINGRAY POWER DISC.
TOUCH STINGRAY...
ACTIVATE STINGRAY POWER!
HUH?
Martin morphs into a flounder looking creature.
He says SOMETHING'S WRONG!
CREATURE POWER SUIT MALFUNCTION!
Chris says WHOA BRO,
IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE
YOU HAVE STINGRAY POWERS.
Aviva says OH NO! WHAT
COULD'VE GONE WRONG?
WHAT HAPPENED?
Martin says I DON'T KNOW.
I PRESSED THE DISC
WHILE I WAS TOUCHING
THIS STINGRAY.
Aviva says WAIT A SECOND.
ZOOMING IN. OH NO.
YOUR PRIMARY PAW
ICON IS CRACKED.
THAT'S WHAT CAUSED
THE MALFUNCTION.
Martin says WHAT?
Chris says AND I THINK YOU
DIDN'T TOUCH A STINGRAY BRO.
YOU TOUCHED A FLOUNDER.
Martin says A FLOUNDER?!
OH...A FLOUNDER.
Chris says THAT SURE IS
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
YEP, YOU'RE PRETTY FLAT.
Martin says OH, FLOUNDERS
ARE COOL FISH
AND THEY CAN HIDE TOO, BUT
I WANTED STINGRAY POWERS.
(CLICKING SOUND)
Martin says OH, CLICK AND WHISTLE.
HEY I KNOW I MAY
LOOK A LITTLE FUNNY,
BUT IT'S STILL ME. MARTIN.
HEY GUYS, DON'T LAUGH.
AW, YOU'RE SO SMART,
YOU KNOW IT'S ME.
Chris says WHAT THEY KNOW IS
YOU'RE NOT REALLY A FLOUNDER.
WHAT FLOUNDER RUNS AROUND
THE SANDY BOTTOM LIKE THAT?
Martin says THIS KIND!
(LAUGHING)
OKAY...WHOA...
The dolphins poke Martin around.
Martin says I GUESS NOW WE'RE PLAYING
FLOUNDER IN THE MIDDLE.
WHOA!
Zach and the Zachbots approach the Tortuga.
On his hovering station, Zach says THERE'S THE TORTUGA.
THE WILD RATS MUST BE NEAR BY.
ZACHBOTS!
OVER HERE!
I'M INVISIBLE, REMEMBER?
NOW LISTEN UP!
I NEED THOSE POWER
DISCS TO FIX MY CLOAK!
DIVE, ZACHBOTS, DIVE!
As they dive in the water, the Zachbots splash water on Zach and he becomes visible again.
Zach says AAH!
Aviva giggles and says THOSE DOLPHINS
SURE LIKE TO PLAY.
I BET MARTIN'S GETTING TIRED.
(LAUGHS)
As she spots the Zachbots, Aviva gasps and says ZACHBOTS! OH NO.
CHRIS, MARTIN...
INCOMING ZACHBOTS.
Martin says ZACHBOTS?
WHAT ARE THEY AFTER?
Chris says DON'T KNOW.
BUT I THINK WE SHOULD...
The brothers say HIDE!
They both hide in the sand.
Chris says WITH THESE
CREATURE POWERS,
I CAN SEE THE ZACHBOTS,
BUT THEY CAN'T SEE ME.
HERE THEY COME.
GET READY FOR A STINGRAY...
Chris jumps up and hits one of the Zachbots.
He says SURPRISE!
BARB TAIL DEFENSE.
(ZAP)
GOTCHA!
(KABOOM)
Chris says YEAH! STINGRAY POWER!
ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO.
Martin says OH HO. NICE ONE BRO!
WAY TO USE THOSE
STINGRAY POWERS.
One of the remaining Zachbots uses laser beams to scan the sand.
Martin says OOPS.
WHEW.
Chris says HEY ZACHBOT? OVER HERE.
ZACHBOTS NEVER LEARN.
IF YOU CHASE A STINGRAY,
YOU'D BETTER WATCH OUT FOR
THE STING OF THE TAIL.
Chris whips his tail against the Zachbot and says BULLS-EYE.
(KABOOM)
The Zachbot explodes.
Chris says THAT'S HOW A STINGRAY
HANDLES PREDATORS.
Martin says AWESOME BRO!
YOU GOT HIM!
The last Zachbot looks down at the sand.
Martin says UH-OH. I DID IT AGAIN.
IF HIDING DOESN'T WORK,
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING
FOR A FLOUNDER TO DO.
RUN!
Chris says WHAT? MARTIN, A
FLOUNDER'S A FISH,
SWIM!
Martin says AAAAAAHHHH!
Chris says OH BROTHER, TALK
ABOUT A MALFUNCTION.
TO THE MARTIN RESCUE!
Martin says AAAHAAAHH!
Chris says I'M NOT GOING
TO MAKE IT IN TIME.
Martin says AND IN THIS MALFUNCTION,
I CAN'T EVEN SWIM.
WHOAA...
AAAH...
THE ZACHBOT WANTS TO
FILLET THIS FLOUNDER!
(WOOSH)
The dolphins grab the Zachbot by its arms and wrap them around its body.
Martin says HUH? CLICK!
WHISTLE!
NICE JOB.
(LAUGHING)
The Zachbot releases himself and pulls out nets.
Martin says OH.
NETS!
NETS. OH NO, NETS! AAAH!
Chris says HANG ON MARTIN!
Martin says HURRY CHRIS!
THIS ZACHBOT WANTS ME TO
BE THE CATCH OF THE DAY.
Chris says NOT ON MY WATCH!
STINGRAY SMASH!
Chris destroys the Zachbot.
(KABOOM)
Martin says YEAHHH!
Aviva says YEAH! THAT'S
HOW YOU DO IT!
A tiny Zach hologram comes out of the Zachbot's head and says NOOO!
I'LL GET YOU NEXT
TIME, WILD RATS!
The brothers say THAT'S WILD KRATTS!
Martin says CLICK, WHISTLE,
TELL HIM IN DOLPHINESE.
Zach says DOLPHIN WHAT?
The dolphins start playing with the Zachbot's head.
Zach says LEAVE MY HOLOGRAM ALONE!
STOP IT! HEY!
WHAAAAHHH!
They send Zach's hologram and the head back up to the surface.
(SPLASH)
Martin says HEY, SO WHAT
DID ZACH WANT ANYWAY?
Chris says DON'T KNOW,
BUT I DON'T THINK HE GOT IT.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP GUYS.
Martin says YEAH, CLICK AND WHISTLE,
YOU SAVED THIS FLOUNDER!
AND WE FOUND OUR HIDE
AND SEEK CREATURE SO,
THAT'S A CREATURE
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Chris says YEAH!
WELL, I LEARNED ONE THING.
STINGRAYS HAVE A SMASHINGLY
EFFECTIVE DEFENSE.
Martin says AND I LEARNED
ONE THING TOO.
MAKE SURE WHEN YOU
ACTIVATE STINGRAY POWERS,
YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING A FLOUNDER.
(LAUGHS)
DEACTIVATE.
Martin goes back to human form.
Chris says WANT A RIDE BRO?
Martin jumps on Chris' back and says YEAH, STINGRAY STYLE!
WOO HOO...YEAH!
(LAUGHING)
WHOA!
Back in the Tortuga, Koki says ONLY ONE PIECE LEFT.
DO YOU HAVE IT JIMMY?
Jimmy says UH...NOPE.
Aviva says HEY GUYS!
WHO'S UP FOR A GAME OF
CREATURE HIDE AND SEEK?
Chris says OH YEAH! FUN.
Martin says YEAH!
Jimmy says A GAME
OF HIDE AND SEEK?
COUNT ME IN.
Koki says YEAH I'D BE DOWN FOR THAT.
JUST AS SOON AS WE
FINISH OUR PUZZLE.
Jimmy says BUT WE'RE
MISSING A PIECE.
Chris says HUH. WONDER WHERE IT IS?
Martin says HEY...OW...I'VE
GOT SOMETHING IN MY BOOT.
Koki says WHAT?
(SPLUT)
Martin says HUH? WHAT'S THIS?
IT'S THE MISSING PUZZLE PIECE!
Koki says AWESOME AND
IT GOES RIGHT HERE.
Aviva says IT'S A STINGRAY!
Martin laughs and says WE FOUND TWO IN ONE DAY!
STINGRAYS ARE HIDING EVERYWHERE.
Everyone laughs.
Now the show turns back to real life.
At the museum, Martin says THE CARTILAGINOUS FISH
ARE A SUPER COOL
GROUP OF FISHES,
BUT, THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER
BIG GROUP OF FISH TOO.
BASED ON WHAT THEIR
SKELETONS ARE MADE OF.
BONE. THE BONY FISHES!
AND MOST FISH IN THE WORLD
HAVE SKELETONS MADE OF BONE.
ALL WITH UNIQUE FEATURES.
LIKE THIS COLORFUL PARROT FISH
WITH ITS BIRD-LIKE BEAK.
OR THE BARRACUDA WITH IT'S
TORPEDO-SHAPED BODY
AND RAZOR-SHARP TEETH.
IN FACT, THERE ARE OVER
25,000 DIFFERENT SPECIES
OF BONY FISHES IN THE WORLD.
Chris says WHILE RAYS AND SKATES
MAY NOT HAVE 25,000 SPECIES,
THERE ARE SO MANY
DIFFERENT TYPES.
630!
Martin says YEAH, THERE ARE
THAT MANY DIFFERENT KINDS,
BUT THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME BASIC
FLATTENED BODY SHAPE.
WIDE AND TRIANGULAR.
LIKE THE GIANT MANTA RAY.
THE LARGEST RAY IN THE WORLD.
THESE MANTAS ARE FILTER FEEDERS,
SWALLOWING UP FOOD
IN THEIR BIG MOUTHS.
AND OTHER RAYS, LIKE
THIS SPOTTED STINGRAY,
ARE BENTHIC FEEDERS.
MEANING, THEY HUNT ALONG
THE SEA BOTTOM FOR PREY.
Chris says OR THE SOUTHERN STINGRAY.
BECAUSE THEIR EYES ARE
ON TOP OF THEIR HEADS,
THEY CAN'T SEE THEIR PREY.
SO THEY HAVE TO USE
THEIR OTHER SENSES
TO FIND THEIR FOOD.
AND UNLIKE OTHER FISH,
THEIR MOUTHS AND GILLS
ARE ON THEIR BELLY.
LOVE THAT SMILEY FACE!
THEY USE THEIR WING-LIKE FINS
TO CRUISE THROUGH THE WATER,
BUT ARE CAPABLE OF BURSTS
OF SPEED TO ESCAPE DANGER.
STINGRAYS ARE MASTERS
OF CAMOUFLAGE.
THEY CAN HIDE UNDER THE SAND
WITH ONLY THEIR EYES STICKING
OUT TO KEEP A LOOK OUT.
THEY ARE REALLY GENTLE,
BUT YOU NEED TO
WATCH OUT BECAUSE
THEIR TAIL HAS A VENOMOUS BARB
THAT THEY USE FOR DEFENSE.
CARTILAGINOUS FISHES
ARE AN AMAZING
GROUP OF CREATURES.
Martin says OH YEAH. THEY SURE ARE!
KEEP ON CREATURE ADVENTURING.
Chris says WE'LL SEE YOU
ON THE CREATURE TRAIL!
