Transcript: Clever the Raven
The planet appears over a black background.
Yellow and red text reads, “Wild Kratts”.
Singers sing, WILD KRATTS!
North America is highlighted and southern Ontario is zoomed in on.
Martin and Chris Kratt walk through a forest clearing on a sunny day. Martin wears a dark blue button-down shirt with a blue jacket and khakis. He has short blonde hair. Chris wears a light green golf shirt with a green jacket and khakis. He has short brown hair.
Martin says,
ON THE CONTINENT
OF NORTH AMERICA,
IN THE NORTHERN REACHES
THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN
FIND THE CREATURE
WE'RE LOOKING FOR TODAY.
WE'RE HERE IN
A BEAUTIFUL MEADOW...
I'M MARTIN!
Chris adds,
I'M CHRIS,
AND WE WANT TO
INTRODUCE YOU
TO A SUPER SMART BIRD.
Martin says,
THIS BIRD IS SO SMART,
IT NEARS THE
INTELLIGENCE OF HUMANS!
An owl is perched on a dead tree.
Chris asks, COULD IT BE AN OWL?
Martin asks,
OH, HOW
ABOUT A HUMMINGBIRD?
Chris asks, OR AN OSTRICH?
Martin ask,
COULD IT BE AN
EAGLE WITH A MIGHTY BRAIN?
Chris says,
WELL THE
ANSWER IS NONE OF THOSE,
BUT IT COULD BE-- A RAVEN!
THE RAVEN IS DEFINITELY
ONE OF THE SMARTEST BIRDS!
An all-black raven is perched on a tree stump. Chris and Martin walk toward it.
Martin replies,
OH YEAH! AND
REALLY COOL-LOOKING TOO!
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW
HOW SMART A RAVEN IS?
RESEARCHERS HAVE FOUND
THAT IN USING TOOLS
AND SOLVING PROBLEMS,
A RAVEN IS SMART
LIKE A GORILLA,
AND JUST AS SMART
AS A YOUNG HUMAN.
The raven flies away from Martin. It lands beside Chris.
Chris adds,
A RAVEN HAS
A GREAT MEMORY.
SHE CAN HIDE FOOD, THEN
REMEMBER WHERE SHE LEFT IT,
AND GO BACK AND GET IT LATER.
Martin says,
A RAVEN CAN MAKE
SO MANY DIFFERENT SOUNDS.
(Croak-croak)
(Odd raven call)
Martin adds,
IT'S LIKE RAVENS HAVE
THEIR OWN BIRD LANGUAGE!
The raven hops onto a backpack on the ground.
Chris says,
RAVENS PLAY GAMES,
ALONE AND WITH EACH OTHER,
AND RAVENS ALSO PLAY
TRICKS ON PEOPLE!
MAKE SURE YOU DON'T LEAVE
YOUR CAMERA GEAR UNATTENDED!
The raven pulls a small piece of equipment out of the backpack.
Martin says,
IMAGINE IF WE COULD
UNDERSTAND THE MIND OF A RAVEN.
Chris adds,
IMAGINE IF
WE HAD RAVEN POWER!
Martin and Chris ask, WHAT IF?
(Zap)
Chris and Martin disappear in a thick beam of bright green light. They reappear as cartoon versions of themselves.
(Show theme music)
A paw print lights up. It flips over to reveal a map of the world.
Martin travels along the ocean floor in a submarine.
A singer sings,
ON ADVENTURE WITH
THE COOLEST CREATURES
FROM THE OCEANS TO THE TREES
THE BROTHERS KRATT
ARE GOING PLACES
YOU NEVER GET TO SEE.
Chris rides on the back of a bee while it flies through a jungle.
The singer sings,
HANGING WITH THEIR
CREATURE FRIENDS
GET READY IT'S THE HOUR
WE'RE GONNA SAVE SOME
ANIMALS TODAY WITH
CREATURE POWER!
Chris wears a falcon suit and spreads out his wings. Martin wears an insect suit on a tree branch. His wings extend.
The singer sings,
GONNA GO WILD WITH
WILD KRATTS GONNA GO
WILD WILD WILD KRATTS
WILD KRATTS!
GONNA GO WILD
WITH WILD KRATTS
GONNA GO WILD WILD WILD
Martin runs with a cheetah.
A rapper raps,
CHEETAH SPEED
AND LIZARD GLIDE
FALCON FLIGHT
AND LION PRIDE
Chris and a lion roar on top of a cliff.
The singer sings,
GONNA GO WILD WITH
WILD KRATTS
GONNA GO WILD WILD WILD KRATTS
WILD KRATTS!
GONNA GO WILD WITH
WILD KRATTS
GONNA GO WILD WILD
WILD KRATTS
GO WILD WILD WILD KRATTS!
Text reads, “Wild Kratts”.
(Upbeat exciting music)
Martin says, CLEVER THE RAVEN.
Text reads, “Created by Martin Kratt and Chris Kratt”.
A raven soars past snow-covered mountains.
Text reads, “Written by Martin Kratt”.
The raven dives into a forest and flies toward Tortuga, the large mechanical turtle.
(Croaking)
The raven is perched on a tree branch. It takes off again. The raven flies inside Tortuga and lands on a metal railing.
Inside, Aviva meets with Martin and Chris. She wears a yellow track jacket with a blue stripe. Her dark hair is tied into a ponytail.
Aviva says,
ANY CREATURE
ADVENTURING PLANS FOR THE DAY?
Chris answers,
NOPE. JUST CHILLAXING.
Aviva replies, GREAT PLAN!
The raven imitates a dog bark.
The raven imitates a toilet flush.
Koki gets up from her desk and picks up a clipboard. She wears a burgundy T-shirt with a star on it. Her dark curly hair is held back with her yellow headband.
Koki asks,
HEAR THAT? WHY DOES
THE TOILET KEEP FLUSHING?
HMM, THINK IT'S
TIME FOR A TUNE UP.
WE'RE WAY OVERDUE!
I'VE GOT TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS
ON ALL TORTUGA FUNCTIONS,
INCLUDING PLUMBING.
The raven imitates a toilet flush.
Koki says,
UGH... PLUMBING...
NAVIGATION... FLIGHT SYSTEMS...
HYDRAULICS, COOLING,
STABILIZERS,
GENERATORS, VOLTAGE,
REGULATORS, CONTROL BOLTS--
Jimmy Z tosses pizza dough in the air as he enters the room. He wears a grey T-shirt with white shoes and a green backward baseball hat. His orange hair is parted and falls to his shoulders.
Koki distracts Jimmy. The dough falls on his face.
Jimmy replies,
AW...AND I'M
TRYING TO MAKE PIZZA!
Martin, Chris, and Aviva laugh.
The raven imitates laughter.
Aviva says,
WHILE YOU'RE BOTH AT IT,
I GUESS I CAN CLEAN UP
MY INVENTION STATION.
Aviva's invention station is covered with half-finished inventions.
Martin replies,
OHHHH...
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
The raven imitates a wolf howl.
Chris gasps.
He asks, DID YOU HEAR THAT?
Martin says,
YEAH, THAT
WAS A WOLF HOWL!
Chris adds,
WELL, WE'RE IN THE RANGE
OF LITTLE HOWLER'S WOLF PACK.
MARTIN, SHOULD WE GO
CHECK ON LITTLE HOWLER?
Martin replies, GREAT IDEA, CHRIS!
Martin and Chris rush out of Tortuga. The raven follows them outside.
Martin asks,
WHICH WAY DO YOU
THINK THE WOLVES ARE?
Chris replies, HMM?
The raven is perched over the entrance of Tortuga. It holds a small twig in its beak.
(Plonk!)
The raven drops the twig on Martin’s head.
Chris says, OW!
Chris and Martin look up at the raven.
(Croaking)
Martin laughs while he rubs his head.
He asks,
WHY DID THIS RAVEN DROP A
PIECE OF WOOD ON MY HEAD?
Chris replies,
I DON'T KNOW.
RAVENS ARE RASCALLY.
(Croaking)
Martin adds,
SHE HIT ME ON PURPOSE.
Chris says,
MAYBE.
BUT SHE'S FRIENDLY.
The raven flies away from Tortuga.
Martin adds,
HEY, I KNOW WHY?
SHE'S TRYING TO TELL US
WHERE THE WOLVES ARE.
WE SHOULD FOLLOW HER.
Chris asks,
FOLLOW HER?!
VERY FUNNY. SHE DOESN'T KNOW.
Martin and Chris chase the raven. It lands on a snow-covered rock.
The raven imitates a wolf howl.
Martin says,
SHE'S TELLING US SHE KNOWS
WHERE THE WOLVES ARE.
Chris replies,
NO WAY!
THAT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE.
I KNOW RAVENS ARE
INCREDIBLY SMART
AND THEY CAN LEARN TO MAKE
ALL KINDS OF SOUNDS BUT--
The raven imitates a dog bark.
The raven imitates a cat meow.
The raven imitates a toilet flush.
Chris says,
A FLUSHING TOILET?!
IT WAS THE RAVEN.
SHE TRICKED KOKI!
The raven imitates laughing.
Martin chuckles.
He says,
NOW SHE'S LAUGHING LIKE US!
The raven imitates a wolf howl.
Chris replies,
WHOA! THESE
RAVENS ARE AMAZING!
THEY CAN MIMIC MORE SOUNDS
THAN ALMOST ANY CREATURE
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
The raven imitates a wolf howl. She flies away from Chris and Martin and into the forest.
Martin says,
C'MON CHRIS,
THIS RAVEN WILL TAKE US
TO LITTLE HOWLER'S WOLF PACK.
Chris says,
I DON'T THINK
THIS RAVEN IS ACTUALLY
TAKING US TO THE WOLVES,
BUT I DO WANT TO DO AN
ADVENTURE WITH RAVENS,
AND LEARN MORE
ABOUT THEM.
WAIT UP!
Chris and Martin follow the raven through the forest. They look tired as they chase her down a hill.
(Deep breathing)
Martin and Chris say,
I WISH...WE COULD...
FLY!
UUH!
The raven lands next to a frozen lake at the bottom of the hill. Martin and Chris slide down to her.
Gourmand hums as he walks across the ice toward an ice fishing hole. He wears a dark green jacket and a beige toque. He has a small mustache and a large pink nose.
Martin asks,
WHAT'S
GOURMAND DOING HERE?
Gourmand hums. Chris uses binoculars to watch him tug on the fishing line.
Chris says,
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S...
ICE FISHING.
HM, SEEMS PRETTY HARMLESS.
MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST LEAVE HIM?
Martin replies,
UH...
I THINK OUR RAVEN
HAS A DIFFERENT IDEA.
The raven takes off as Gourmand walks to the shore.
Chris shouts, WAIT! NO! COME BACK!
The raven swoops down to the fishing hole. Chris and Martin watch her hop around the line. A bell attached to the line rings.
Chris says,
THERE'S A FISH ON THE LINE!
The raven pulls up the line with her beak and talons.
Martin chuckles.
He asks,
WOW, HOW DID SHE LEARN
TO PULL UP THE LINE LIKE THAT?
Chris replies,
SHE MUST HAVE
OBSERVED HOW HUMANS FISH.
The raven pulls the fish out of the water and grabs it in her beak.
Martin gasps.
He adds,
AND FIGURED OUT
HOW TO PULL UP THE FISH.
Gourmand runs across the ice.
He shouts,
HOLD IT, YOU,
FEATHERY FISH RUSTLER!
THAT'S MY FISH YER SWALLOWIN',
AND I WANT IT BACK!
OHHH, STOP FISH THIEF!
Gourmand pulls out a weapon and shoots dough balls at the raven. The raven flies away from him.
(Blasting)
Gourmand says,
OOF, AH, WHOA!!!!
UH-OH...UGH...
He slips and drops the weapon on the ice.
(Blast!)
Gourmand says, UGH!
The weapon spins toward him and fires the dough balls at his face.
Chris and Martin laugh. The raven flies back to them.
Chris says,
RAVENS ARE SO SMART!
SHE EASILY OUTSMARTED GOURMAND.
The raven holds the fish in her mouth.
Martin laughs.
He says,
CLEVER!
I'LL NAME YOU CLEVER!
Chris adds,
CLEVER THE RAVEN! I LIKE IT!
YOUR NAMING POWER NEVER
CEASES TO AMAZE ME, BRO.
Martin says, NATURALLY.
Clever eats the fish and flies away from Chris and Martin. They chase her.
Later, Aviva works at a desk in Tortuga. Chris appears on a screen in front of her.
Chris asks,
HEY AVIVA, DO YOU WANT TO
CHECK OUT A SUPER-SMART BIRD?
Aviva replies,
SUPER-SMART BIRD?
YEAH! WHO?
Chris answers,
A RAVEN!!
AND MAYBE, YOU MIGHT FEEL LIKE
PROGRAMMING A RAVEN POWER SUIT?
Aviva says, OF COURSE I DO!
Chris replies, YESSSS!
Aviva adds,
I'LL BRING MY
MOBILE INVENTION KIT.
Chris ends the video chat. Aviva’s shoes turn into rollerblades. She skates around Tortuga with her invention kit strapped to her back. She speeds past Jimmy who tosses his pizza ingredients up in the air.
Jimmy says, AAAAH!!
The ingredients land on the pizza dough.
Jimmy says, PHEWWW!
Aviva skates down a hall and finds Koki in a room with a large laser in it. Aviva bumps into Koki who turns on the laser.
Koki says, NOOOO!
The laser works.
Koki says, OH YES!!
Aviva skates to the entrance and puts on a helmet. She uses her hoverbike with a sidecar to travel through the forest.
Meanwhile, Clever does tricks while she flies through the sky.
Chris says,
THE UPSIDE-DOWN DIVE!
THAT'S A CLASSIC
RAVEN FLIGHT PATTERN.
ROLL OVER,
UPSIDE DOWN, AND DIVE!
Clever perches on Martin’s forearm.
Martin adds,
OH, THAT LOOKS FUN!
I WISH WE HAD RAVEN POWER SUITS.
Aviva says,
I CAN HANDLE THAT!
She parks her hoverbike. Clever flies over to her.
Aviva says,
WOW, YOU ARE A COOL BIRD,
BUT ARE YOU SURE THIS IS
A RAVEN AND NOT A CROW?
Martin replies,
GREAT QUESTION, AVIVA,
AND THAT MEANS
IT'S TIME FOR A--
CREATURE COMPARISON!
(Echoing)
Martin’s voice echos in the mountains,
COMPARISON, COMPARISON!
Snow slides off the branches of a tree.
Chris says,
WELL, RAVENS ARE BIGGER,
ABOUT THE SIZE OF
A RED-TAILED HAWK.
CHECK!
Martin adds,
RAVENS HAVE
A BROADER BILL.
Chris says,
YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO SAY 'CHECK.'
Martin says, OH. CHECK!
Chris replies,
THAT'S RIGHT.
CROWS MAKE A CAWING SOUND.
(Caaw-caaw)
Chris says, CHECK.
Martin adds,
RAVENS MAKE
A CROAKING SOUND.
Clever croaks. Martin, Chris, and Aviva laugh.
Martin and Chris say, CHECK!
Martin adds,
CLEVER IS
DEFINITELY A RAVEN.
Aviva pets Clever
Chris says,
SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
PROGRAM A RAVEN POWER SUIT.
Aviva replies, WITH PLEASURE!
Clever flies away from Chris, Martin, and Aviva.
Chris gets on the hoverbike.
He says,
C'MON, WE GOTTA KEEP UP!
Martin and Aviva get on the hoverbike.
Aviva says,
THIS TAKES MOBILE
INVENTING TO NEW HEIGHTS!
Chris follows Clever through the forest. They return to the lake. A bald eagle eats a fish on the ice.
Chris says,
UH, MAYBE RAVENS
AREN'T ALWAYS SMART?
Clever hops toward the eagle. She tugs on the eagle’s tail feathers with her beak.
(Croak)
Martin shouts,
CLEVER?!
WHY ARE YOU MESSING
WITH A BALD EAGLE?
(Croak-croak)
The eagle turns to Clever.
LOOK OUT,
DON'T LET HIM GRAB YOU
WITH THOSE TALONS!
(Croak-croak)
Clever hops around the eagle.
Aviva replies,
BUT WAIT.
CLEVER IS SMART.
SHE KNOWS THAT THE EAGLE,
EVEN THOUGH MUCH BIGGER
AND MORE POWERFUL, CAN'T
GET TO HER IF SHE'S CLEVER.
SO, SHE PULLS AT THE EAGLE'S
TAIL FEATHERS FROM BEHIND.
Clever pulls on the eagle's tail feathers again. The eagle flies away from her.
Chris says,
YES! UNTIL THE
EAGLE GETS SO ANNOYED,
HE LEAVES THE FISH.
Clever eats the fish.
Martin adds, CLEVER, CLEVER.
Aviva says,
OOH, THESE
OBSERVATIONS ARE GOOD.
Later, Martin, Chris, and Aviva follow Clever as she flies through the air.
Martin shouts,
HELLLOOO!!
CLEVER, WHAT'S NEXT?
Cleaver soars down to the ground.
Chris asks,
CLEVER, WHERE
ARE YOU HEADED NOW?
(Camera clicking)
Donita, a model, poses for pictures beside a stool on a frozen lake. She wears a long blue dress with matching fur and hat. Her brown hair is parted and curls down to her chin.
Dabio, a man with long blonde hair, photographs Donita. He wears a thick blue coat with a grey scarf and a blue lumberjack hat.
Dabio says,
AW...YOU DO THE
BEST POSES, DONITA!
Donita replies,
THANK YOU,
DABIO DARLING.
Clever lands on the stool. She notices Donita’s shiny blue earrings.
Donita asks,
WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Clever steals one of Donita’s earrings.
Donita screams,
AAAH!
POSE BEAM!
Dabio replies, UH, YES, DONITA.
(Blasting)
Dabio shines a bright pink beam into the air. Clever flies away from it.
Dabio says,
WHOA!...AH AH AH...
WHOA. AAAH! WOAH!
Donita gasps. She dodges the beam as Dabio loses control of it.
Donita gasps again. Dabio hits her with the beam.
Donita says, UGH!
She falls on the ice.
Dabio says,
I DIDN'T HIT
THE BIRDIE, DONITA.
Donita shouts, DABIO!
Martin laughs. Clever lands on his arm
Martin says,
CLASSIC CLEVER RAVEN.
Aviva asks,
BUT WHY WOULD
SHE WANT A SHINY EARRING?
Chris replies,
WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT SHE'S UP TO.
Martin follows Clever across the forest. Clever swoops down to a small wood cabin in a grassy clearing.
Aviva asks,
WHY IS SHE
HEADING TO THAT CABIN?
Clever lands on a barrel next to the house. She looks in a window with the earring still in her beak.
(Tap-tap!)
Clever pecks on the window. Rose, a young girl, opens it. She wears a bright yellow jacket and a brown toque. Her blonde hair curls down to her shoulders.
Rose says,
GOOD MORNING!
YOU'RE A LITTLE LATE TODAY.
OH WOW! THIS IS A SPARKLY ONE!
THANK YOU.
Clever gives Rose the earring.
Martin, Chris, and Aviva walk over to the cabin.
Martin asks,
YOU KNOW EACH OTHER?
Rose hurries outside.
She replies,
WILD KRATTS, AWESOME!
HI, I'M ROSE.
YEAH, THIS RAVEN
AND I TRADE STUFF.
SHE BRINGS ME SHINY THINGS,
AND I GIVE HER A SNACK
AND A NECK SCRATCH.
Martin says,
OF COURSE!
RAVENS UNDERSTAND THE
CONCEPT OF TRADING.
Chris adds,
THEY TRADE
WITH EACH OTHER!
IT'S REALLY COMMON.
Aviva says,
THAT'S ANOTHER SIGN
OF THEIR HIGH INTELLIGENCE.
Martin replies, CLEVER, THE RAVEN.
Rose says,
THAT'S A GOOD NAME,
BUT I CALL HER SMARTYPANTS,
BECAUSE SHE'S SO SMART!
(Croak!)
(Chuckles)
Martin says, THAT WORKS TOO!
Aviva works on her tablet.
She says,
I'M DONE!
RAVEN POWER
PROGRAMMING COMPLETE!
Two green raven power discs pop out of the tablet. Martin and Chris take them.
They say,
THANKS, AVIVA!
INSERT RAVEN POWER DISCS.
TOUCH RAVEN!
ACTIVATE RAVEN POWERS!
Rose replies,
ACTIVATE RAVEN POWERS!
Clever imitates a human voice.
She says,
ACTIVATE RAVEN POWERS!
Aviva says,
AMAZING!
RAVENS CAN REALLY IMITATE!
(Zap)
Chris and Martin’s suits glow. Their hands transform into wings and their feet into talons.
Chris and Martin fly over Rose and Aviva.
Martin says, AND SO CAN WE!
Chris and Martin croak. They land on the ground. Clever lands beside them.
(Croak-croak)
Chris adds,
YEAH, WE'RE A CONSPIRACY!
A CONSPIRACY OF RAVENS.
Aviva replies, A CONSPIRACY?
Chris replies,
THAT'S WHAT YOU
CALL A GROUP OF RAVENS.
A CONSPIRACY.
Martin says,
WELL, LET'S CONSPIRE
TOGETHER AND FIND THOSE WOLVES!
Chris adds,
OH YEAH, WE HAVE A
CREATURE MISSION TO ACCOMPLISH.
Martin, Chris, and Clever fly over the forest. Aviva follows them on the hoverbike.
She says, BYE, ROSE!
Rose replies, GOOD LUCK!
Chris says, C'MON AVIVA!
Aviva says, RIGHT BEHIND YOU!
Clever twists as she dives down to a river.
Martin says,
UH-UH-UUUUH!
RAVENS LIKE TO PLAY.
Chris adds,
AND NOW WE CAN
UPSIDE-DOWN DIVE TOO!
Chris and Martin swoop down over the river. They fly alongside Aviva.
Aviva asks,
CLEVER, HAVE
YOU SPOTTED SOMETHING?
Martin and Chris ask, WOLVES?!
Clever flies ahead of the hoverbike.
Aviva replies,
NOT NEARLY THAT GOOD.
ZACH!
Zack, a man with short black hair and a small patch of hair on his chin, stands on the river’s edge with two large robots. He wears a black and red puffy jacket and red earmuffs.
Chris says,
UH-OH!
AND CLEVER WANTS A CLOSER LOOK!
Martin asks, WHY?
Chris shouts,
CLEVER, COME BACK!
THAT'S A VILLAIN!
Zack says,
CARVE A STATUE OF ME
OUT OF THIS BIG BLOCK OF ICE.
BE CAREFUL. DON'T DAMAGE IT!
The robots move toward a large block of ice. Clever lands on top of the ice. Zack points at her.
He says,
LISTEN BIRDY, GET
OFF MY ICE BLOCK!
IF YOU SCRATCH IT...
Chris and Martin fly down to Zack and Clever. They croak as they fly over Zack’s head.
(Raven croaking sounds)
Chris and Martin land at Zack’s feet.
Martin shouts, CLEVER, STOP!
Chris adds,
CROAK! HE'S DANGEROUS!
(Raven sounds)
Zack turns to Chris and Martin.
Zack asks,
THERE'S MORE?!
YOU NEED TO MOVE!
THE WORLD IS WAITING TO SEE
MY GREATNESS...
Martin shouts, HE'S BAD!
(Croak)
Zack says,
WHY ARE YOU
JUST SITTING THERE?
I SAID, SCRAM!
(Croak!)
Clever, Chris, and Martin peck at Zack.
Zack screams, AAAAHHHH!
Chris says,
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE HE CALLS HIS ZACHBOTS.
Clever, Chris, and Martin fly away from Zack.
Zack shouts,
ZACHBOTS SNOW BALL THEM!
The Zackbots chase Clever, Chris, and Martin through the forest. The Zackbots throw snowballs in the air while Clever, Chris, and Martin swoop down over Zack’s head.
Zack screams,
AHH!!
GET THEM!
Zack climbs to the top of the ice block.
(Splat!)
The Zackbots throw more snowballs. They hit Zack. He is covered in a layer of snow.
Martin laughs. He flies up to Aviva with Chris and Clever.
Aviva says,
AWESOME!
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED?
CLEVER MAY HAVE LEARNED
FROM THE OTHER RAVENS,
THAT WOULD BE YOU GUYS,
THAT ZACH WAS HER FOE
AND TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
NOW THAT'S VERY SMART!
Martin adds,
ANOTHER REASON
SHE'S CALLED CLEVER.
He wraps his wing around Clever.
Aviva says,
INTERESTING.
THIS GIVES ME AN IDEA
FOR A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT.
Later, Aviva lands the hoverbike in a forest clearing. Clever, Chris, and Martin are perched on a log. Aviva holds a notepad in front of them.
She says,
SO, THIS EXPERIMENT WILL TEST
WHETHER RAVENS HAVE THE ABILITY
TO RECOGNIZE HUMAN FACES,
AND TELL WHO IS A FRIEND
AND WHO IS A FOE.
AND, WHETHER A RAVEN
CAN TEACH ANOTHER RAVEN THAT.
(Croaking)
Aviva says, OKAY, LET'S GET STARTED!
(Chilling music)
Aviva holds up a cutout of Zach’s face over her face. Clever croaks angrily.
Aviva says,
CLEVER HAS LEARNED
THAT ZACH IS A BADDIE,
FROM WHEN HE THREW
SNOWBALLS AT HER.
NOW, LET'S TRY THIS!
Aviva holds up a cutout of Martin’s face. Clever croaks gently.
Martin and Chris croak with Clever.
Aviva says,
CLEVER RECOGNIZES
MARTIN'S FACE,
AND HAS LEARNED
THAT HE'S HER FRIEND.
Aviva holds up a cutout of Gourmand’s face. Clever croaks angrily.
Aviva holds up a cutout of Donita’s face. Clever croaks angrily again.
Aviva adds,
FROM HER ENCOUNTERS
WITH GOURMAND AND DONITA,
SHE HAS LEARNED
TO SEE THEM AS FOES.
Chris replies,
GOOD ONE
AVIVA, IT'S TRUE!
Martin says,
RAVENS CAN RECOGNIZE
THE FACES OF FRIENDS AND FOES.
Aviva asks,
BUT WHAT ABOUT
PEOPLE SHE HASN'T MET?
Aviva holds up a cutout of Koki’s face.
Chris and Martin croak gently. Clever joins them.
Aviva says,
AMAZING!
CLEVER DOESN'T KNOW KOKI,
BUT SHE LEARNED, FROM
FELLOW RAVEN REACTIONS,
THAT KOKI IS A FRIEND.
Aviva holds up a cutout of a blonde-haired person wearing square-framed glasses. Chris and Martin croak angrily. Clever joins them.
Aviva holds up a cutout of Jimmy. Chris and Martin croak gently. Clever joins them.
Aviva says,
SCIENCE
EXPERIMENT COMPLETE!
CONCLUSION: RAVENS CAN
RECOGNIZE AND REMEMBER
WHO IS A FOE AND
WHO IS A FRIEND.
AND THEY CAN ALSO LEARN
THIS FROM OTHER RAVENS.
OH AND ONE OTHER CONCLUSION.
CLEVER IS VERY CLEVER.
Clever perches on Aviva’s arm then takes off back into the forest.
Chris adds,
AND HUNGRY AGAIN, WAIT UP!
Chris and Martin follow Clever.
Later, Clever, Chris, and Martin fly past snow-capped mountains. Aviva rides the hoverbike behind them. They all fly low over a frozen river.
Clever, Chris, and Martin land in another grassy clearing. A patch of animal fur lies on a snowy hill.
Martin asks,
HUH, WHY ARE
YOU STOPPING HERE?
Chris adds, IT'S BISON HIDE.
Clever pecks at the bison hide.
Aviva says,
AWESOME!
RAVENS SCAVENGE FOOD, TOO.
Martin replies,
BUT IT'S TOO THICK.
A RAVEN CAN'T GET
THROUGH THE TOUGH HIDE
TO GET TO THE MEAT TO EAT.
UGH!
Martin pecks quickly at the bison hide. He looks dizzy and falls over.
Clever imitates a wolf howl.
Aviva asks,
WHY IS CLEVER HOWLING?
(Distant howl)
A pack of three white and grey wolves appears in the forest.
Martin says,
WOLVES!
AND THEY'RE ANSWERING.
The wolves walk toward the bison hide. Chris and Martin fly up to Aviva while she floats above on the hover bike.
Chris says,
I THINK I KNOW
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
SHE CAN'T PICK THROUGH THE THICK
BISON HIDE, TO GET TO THE MEAT.
SO, SHE'S CALLING IN
THE WOLVES TO HELP HER.
THAT'S MY THEORY...
One of the wolves growls while they feed on the bison. Clever flies up into the air.
Chris and Martin say, UH-OH!
Clever flies down and lands on the hide.
Chris says,
CAREFUL, CLEVER.
WOLVES ARE FOOD AGGRESSIVE.
Clever takes some food and flies away from the wolves.
Martin says,
AND YOUR THEORY
HAS PROVEN...CORRECT!
CLEVER, CLEVER.
Clever eats the food.
Chris adds,
YES! SHE
CALLED THE WOLVES,
BECAUSE THEIR STRONG
JAWS CAN GET THROUGH
THE THICK HIDE TO THE MEAT.
INGENIOUS!
Martin replies,
HEY, THIS IS ANOTHER
SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP!
WHERE TWO DIFFERENT
SPECIES OF ANIMALS
EACH GET SOMETHING
FROM WORKING TOGETHER.
Aviva says,
I SEE!
CLEVER TOLD THE WOLVES
WHERE THE FOOD WAS,
AND THE WOLVES GAVE
HER ACCESS TO THE FOOD.
THEY BOTH GOT
SOMETHING OUT OF IT.
JUST AS YOU SAID,
A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE RAVEN AND THE WOLF.
Chris adds,
AND THAT'S NOT ALL!
RAVENS ARE ALSO LOOK OUTS.
WHAT DO YOU SEE, CLEVER?
Clever perches on a tall evergreen tree.
(Frantic croaking)
The wolves are alerted.
Martin says,
A WARNING!
A VILLAIN IS COMING.
Gourmand runs through the forest holding his weapon.
He shouts,
NO RASCALLY RAVEN IS
GONNA STEAL A FISH FROM MOI,
AND GET AWAY WITH IT!
Chris says,
HE'S GOT
THE DOUGH BLASTER!
Gourmand fires dough into the air. Chris, Martin, Aviva, Clever, and the wolves hurry away from him.
(Croaking)
Gourmand loses his balance.
He says,
GRRR.
OOF...UGH…
Gourmand falls against a tree. A large pile of snow lands on his head.
(Splat)
Gourmand says, GRRR!
Meanwhile, Chris, Martin, Aviva, Clever, and the wolves move quickly through the forest.
Aviva says,
PHEW, THAT
WAS A CLOSE ONE!
HEY, I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING.
WHY IS CLEVER ALL ALONE?
DON'T RAVENS LIVE IN GROUPS?
WHERE ARE THE OTHER
MEMBERS OF THE CONSPIRACY?
Chris replies,
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
MOSTLY THEY LIVE IN GROUPS,
BUT SOMETIMES THEY'RE SOLITARY.
MAYBE CLEVER IS ALL ALONE.
Martin asks,
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ALONE?
SHE'S GOT US AND THE WOLVES.
He rides on the back of one of the wolves.
Chris says,
SHE SURE DOES!
YOU KNOW BRO, I GOTTA
ADMIT YOU WERE RIGHT.
CLEVER THE RAVEN DID
LEAD US TO THE WOLVES
AND RIGHT BACK TO
THE PACK'S DEN AND...
Chris and Martin shout, LITTLE HOWLER!!
Little Howler, the wolf cub, pokes its head out of a stone wolf den. It jumps up and down while Chris and Martin fly above it.
Martin says, HEY BUDDY!
Chris adds,
WE MISSED YOU!
Little Howler howls.
Martin says,
IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!
Little Howler, Chris, and Martin howl.
Aviva says,
OKAY, I'LL SAY IT.
CREATURE MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Clever flies away from Aviva.
Aviva asks,
WHERE YOU GOING?
WHAT'S UP THERE?
Clever lands in a nest with two other ravens.
Aviva flies the hoverbike up to the nest.
She says,
LET'S GO CHECK IT OUT!
CLEVER HAS ONE MORE
SURPRISE FOR US.
SHE BROUGHT US TO
HER CONSPIRACY.
THEY HAVE A NEST RIGHT
HERE IN THIS PINE TREE.
(Croak-croak)
Martin replies,
SHE WANTS
US TO JOIN THEM.
Aviva says,
SORRY CLEVER,
I'M TOO BIG!
(Croaking)
Aviva says,
WAIT! I PROGRAMMED AN EXTRA DISC
AND I HAVE MY VEST!
INSERT RAVEN POWER DISC...
TOUCH RAVEN...
ACTIVATE RAVEN POWER!
Aviva’s arms transform into wings and her feet turn into talons. A bright pink light flashes. Aviva flies above the nest.
She says,
NOW I CAN JOIN THE
CONSPIRACY TOO!
Chris and Martin cheer, YEAH!!!
They land in the nest while Aviva continues to fly in circles.
Aviva adds,
WHOOHOO!
FLYING LIKE A RAVEN IS FUN!
Martin looks around the nest.
He says,
OH WOW.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS.
THERE'S ONE MORE ADDITION
TO THE CONSPIRACY!
A raven chick smiles.
Chris and Martin say, A RAVEN CHICK!
(Baby croaking)
The raven chick falls over.
Aviva, Chris, and Martin say, AWWWW...
On the ground, Koki rides a beige jeep past the wolf pack. She parks and Jimmy waves to Aviva, Chris, and Martin.
Koki asks,
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
UP THERE IN THE TREE?
Chris replies,
ADVENTURING WITH RAVENS!
Chris, Martin, Clever, and the other ravens fly down to Koki.
Martin adds,
RAVENS ARE SOOOO COOL!
Koki says,
WELL, I'M GLAD
YOU HAD A GOOD TIME.
I FINISHED THE DIAGNOSTIC,
BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG
WITH THE PLUMBING AND--
Clever imitates a toilet flush. She does it again. Koki looks shocked.
She asks, WHAT?! IT WAS YOU?
Martin says,
UH...
I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU. UM--
ONE THING WE LEARNED, IS RAVENS
CAN MIMIC ALL KIND OF SOUNDS.
Jimmy asks, WHO WANTS PIZZA?
He holds a pizza above his head.
Chris says,
AND UH, JIMMY,
RAVENS ARE SCAVENGERS.
IF THEY CAN STEAL
SALMON FROM BALD EAGLES,
I DON'T THINK YOUR
PIZZA STANDS A CHANCE.
(Approaching croaking)
The ravens swoop down to Jimmy and his pizza.
Jimmy says,
OH NO!
LEAVE MY PIZZA ALONE!
IT'S MINE!
The ravens chase Jimmy through the forest.
Aviva says,
NOW THAT'S A
CONSPIRACY OF RAVENS AT WORK!
Martin chuckles.
He says,
THE RAVEN PIZZA CONSPIRACY!
Jimmy pants as he returns to the jeep.
He says,
I MANAGED TO SAVE
A SLICE OF PIZZA.
Clever says, PIZZA.
Everyone laughs.
Jimmy replies,
IT'S ALL YOURS, CLEVER.
Clever takes a half-eaten pizza slice from Jimmy and flies away from him.
Chris says,
THERE GOES
CLEVER THE RAVEN.
LIVING FREE AND IN THE WILD!
A green light flashes. Chris and Martin return to real life.
Chris says,
SO, RAVENS ARE ONE OF THE
COOLEST AND SMARTEST BIRDS
IN THE ENTIRE CREATURE WORLD.
Martin adds,
AND THEY HAVE A
CLOSE RELATIVE, THE CROWS.
WHO SHARE A LOT SIMILAR
CHARACTERISTICS
THEY ARE ALSO DIFFERENT
IN THEIR OWN WAYS.
Chris says,
LET'S CHECK OUT THE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CROWS...
Martin replies, ...AND RAVENS.
A raven flies over thick brush in a clearing. It perches on a dead tree.
Chris says,
WHEN MOST PEOPLE SEE A
BLACK BIRD FLYING IN THE SKY,
THEY THINK IT'S A CROW.
Martin adds,
BUT NOW YOU
KNOW ALL ABOUT RAVENS.
SO, WHEN YOU SEE A BLACK BIRD,
YOU KNOW IT COULD BE
A CROW OR A RAVEN,
BUT HOW DO YOU
TELL THE DIFFERENCE?
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO GO OVER.
FIRST OF ALL, RAVENS ARE BIGGER.
THEY HAVE HEFTIER BODIES AND
ALSO BROADER BIGGER BEAKS.
Chris says,
CROWS ARE
MUCH SMALLER BIRDS,
THEY HAVE A MORE SLENDER BODY
AND A MORE SLENDER POINTY BEAK.
Martin adds,
AND ON THE BEAK,
RAVENS HAVE THESE LONG BRISTLES.
THERE CALLED NASAL BRISTLES,
YOU CAN REALLY SEE THEM.
Chris says,
CROWS HAVE
NASAL BRISTLES TOO.
YOU HARDLY EVEN NOTICE THEM.
Martin replies,
ANOTHER THING
IS THE NECK FEATHERS.
RAVENS HAVE SHAGGY
NECK FEATHERS,
THEY'RE CALLED HACKLES.
Chris adds,
CROWS NECKS ARE SMOOTHER.
Martin says,
RAVENS LOVE
TO SOAR AND GLIDE.
AND THEY PERFORM
AERIAL ACROBATICS
WHEN THEY PLAY TOGETHER.
Chris says,
CROWS LIKE TO
FLAP AROUND A LITTLE MORE.
Martin adds,
RAVENS OFTEN FLY
ALONE OR IN SMALL GROUPS.
Chris says,
CROWS CAN BE SEEN
IN MUCH BIGGER GROUPS
AND SOMETIMES SIT AROUND IN
TREES IN LARGE NUMBERS.
AND THEIR VOCALIZATIONS
ARE DIFFERENT TO.
Martin says,
AS YOU KNOW, RAVENS
CAN MAKE A LOT OF SOUNDS,
BUT THEIR MAIN SOUND
IS LIKE A CROAKING SOUND.
(Croak-croak)
Chris says,
CROWS MAKE THAT CLASSIC
'CAW-CAW-CAW' SOUND.
Martin replies, WELL DONE!
Chris chuckles.
He adds, BUT BOTH CROWS AND
RAVENS ARE SUPER SMART.
Martin says,
YEAH, THEY ARE
AMAZING BIRD BRAINS!
The raven flies away from Chris and Martin.
Martin says,
WHEN YOU'RE OUT IN THE WILD,
YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO SEE A CROW
AND COULD GET LUCKY
AND SPOT A RAVEN.
Chris adds,
SO, REMEMBER
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A CROW AND A RAVEN,
AND KEEP ON CREATURE
ADVENTURING!
Martin says,
WE'LL SEE YOU
ON THE CREATURE TRAIL!

THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN
FIND THE CREATURE
WE'RE LOOKING FOR TODAY.
WE'RE HERE IN
A BEAUTIFUL MEADOW...
I'M MARTIN!
Chris adds,
I'M CHRIS,
AND WE WANT TO
INTRODUCE YOU
TO A SUPER SMART BIRD.
Martin says,
THIS BIRD IS SO SMART,
IT NEARS THE
INTELLIGENCE OF HUMANS!
An owl is perched on a dead tree.
Chris asks, COULD IT BE AN OWL?
Martin asks,
OH, HOW
ABOUT A HUMMINGBIRD?
Chris asks, OR AN OSTRICH?
Martin ask,
COULD IT BE AN
EAGLE WITH A MIGHTY BRAIN?
Chris says,
WELL THE
ANSWER IS NONE OF THOSE,
BUT IT COULD BE-- A RAVEN!
THE RAVEN IS DEFINITELY
ONE OF THE SMARTEST BIRDS!
An all-black raven is perched on a tree stump. Chris and Martin walk toward it.
Martin replies,
OH YEAH! AND
REALLY COOL-LOOKING TOO!
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW
HOW SMART A RAVEN IS?
RESEARCHERS HAVE FOUND
THAT IN USING TOOLS
AND SOLVING PROBLEMS,
A RAVEN IS SMART
LIKE A GORILLA,
AND JUST AS SMART
AS A YOUNG HUMAN.
The raven flies away from Martin. It lands beside Chris.
Chris adds,
A RAVEN HAS
A GREAT MEMORY.
SHE CAN HIDE FOOD, THEN
REMEMBER WHERE SHE LEFT IT,
AND GO BACK AND GET IT LATER.
Martin says,
A RAVEN CAN MAKE
SO MANY DIFFERENT SOUNDS.
(Croak-croak)
(Odd raven call)
Martin adds,
IT'S LIKE RAVENS HAVE
THEIR OWN BIRD LANGUAGE!
The raven hops onto a backpack on the ground.
Chris says,
RAVENS PLAY GAMES,
ALONE AND WITH EACH OTHER,
AND RAVENS ALSO PLAY
TRICKS ON PEOPLE!
MAKE SURE YOU DON'T LEAVE
YOUR CAMERA GEAR UNATTENDED!
The raven pulls a small piece of equipment out of the backpack.
Martin says,
IMAGINE IF WE COULD
UNDERSTAND THE MIND OF A RAVEN.
Chris adds,
IMAGINE IF
WE HAD RAVEN POWER!
Martin and Chris ask, WHAT IF?
(Zap)
Chris and Martin disappear in a thick beam of bright green light. They reappear as cartoon versions of themselves.

Martin says, CLEVER THE RAVEN.
Text reads, “Created by Martin Kratt and Chris Kratt”.
A raven soars past snow-covered mountains.
Text reads, “Written by Martin Kratt”.
The raven dives into a forest and flies toward Tortuga, the large mechanical turtle.
(Croaking)
The raven is perched on a tree branch. It takes off again. The raven flies inside Tortuga and lands on a metal railing.
Inside, Aviva meets with Martin and Chris. She wears a yellow track jacket with a blue stripe. Her dark hair is tied into a ponytail.
Aviva says,
ANY CREATURE
ADVENTURING PLANS FOR THE DAY?
Chris answers,
NOPE. JUST CHILLAXING.
Aviva replies, GREAT PLAN!
The raven imitates a dog bark.
The raven imitates a toilet flush.
Koki gets up from her desk and picks up a clipboard. She wears a burgundy T-shirt with a star on it. Her dark curly hair is held back with her yellow headband.
Koki asks,
HEAR THAT? WHY DOES
THE TOILET KEEP FLUSHING?
HMM, THINK IT'S
TIME FOR A TUNE UP.
WE'RE WAY OVERDUE!
I'VE GOT TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS
ON ALL TORTUGA FUNCTIONS,
INCLUDING PLUMBING.
The raven imitates a toilet flush.
Koki says,
UGH... PLUMBING...
NAVIGATION... FLIGHT SYSTEMS...
HYDRAULICS, COOLING,
STABILIZERS,
GENERATORS, VOLTAGE,
REGULATORS, CONTROL BOLTS--
Jimmy Z tosses pizza dough in the air as he enters the room. He wears a grey T-shirt with white shoes and a green backward baseball hat. His orange hair is parted and falls to his shoulders.
Koki distracts Jimmy. The dough falls on his face.
Jimmy replies,
AW...AND I'M
TRYING TO MAKE PIZZA!
Martin, Chris, and Aviva laugh.
The raven imitates laughter.
Aviva says,
WHILE YOU'RE BOTH AT IT,
I GUESS I CAN CLEAN UP
MY INVENTION STATION.
Aviva's invention station is covered with half-finished inventions.
Martin replies,
OHHHH...
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
The raven imitates a wolf howl.
Chris gasps.
He asks, DID YOU HEAR THAT?
Martin says,
YEAH, THAT
WAS A WOLF HOWL!
Chris adds,
WELL, WE'RE IN THE RANGE
OF LITTLE HOWLER'S WOLF PACK.
MARTIN, SHOULD WE GO
CHECK ON LITTLE HOWLER?
Martin replies, GREAT IDEA, CHRIS!
Martin and Chris rush out of Tortuga. The raven follows them outside.
Martin asks,
WHICH WAY DO YOU
THINK THE WOLVES ARE?
Chris replies, HMM?
The raven is perched over the entrance of Tortuga. It holds a small twig in its beak.
(Plonk!)
The raven drops the twig on Martin’s head.
Chris says, OW!
Chris and Martin look up at the raven.
(Croaking)
Martin laughs while he rubs his head.
He asks,
WHY DID THIS RAVEN DROP A
PIECE OF WOOD ON MY HEAD?
Chris replies,
I DON'T KNOW.
RAVENS ARE RASCALLY.
(Croaking)
Martin adds,
SHE HIT ME ON PURPOSE.
Chris says,
MAYBE.
BUT SHE'S FRIENDLY.
The raven flies away from Tortuga.
Martin adds,
HEY, I KNOW WHY?
SHE'S TRYING TO TELL US
WHERE THE WOLVES ARE.
WE SHOULD FOLLOW HER.
Chris asks,
FOLLOW HER?!
VERY FUNNY. SHE DOESN'T KNOW.
Martin and Chris chase the raven. It lands on a snow-covered rock.
The raven imitates a wolf howl.
Martin says,
SHE'S TELLING US SHE KNOWS
WHERE THE WOLVES ARE.
Chris replies,
NO WAY!
THAT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE.
I KNOW RAVENS ARE
INCREDIBLY SMART
AND THEY CAN LEARN TO MAKE
ALL KINDS OF SOUNDS BUT--
The raven imitates a dog bark.
The raven imitates a cat meow.
The raven imitates a toilet flush.
Chris says,
A FLUSHING TOILET?!
IT WAS THE RAVEN.
SHE TRICKED KOKI!
The raven imitates laughing.
Martin chuckles.
He says,
NOW SHE'S LAUGHING LIKE US!
The raven imitates a wolf howl.
Chris replies,
WHOA! THESE
RAVENS ARE AMAZING!
THEY CAN MIMIC MORE SOUNDS
THAN ALMOST ANY CREATURE
IN THE CREATURE WORLD.
The raven imitates a wolf howl. She flies away from Chris and Martin and into the forest.
Martin says,
C'MON CHRIS,
THIS RAVEN WILL TAKE US
TO LITTLE HOWLER'S WOLF PACK.
Chris says,
I DON'T THINK
THIS RAVEN IS ACTUALLY
TAKING US TO THE WOLVES,
BUT I DO WANT TO DO AN
ADVENTURE WITH RAVENS,
AND LEARN MORE
ABOUT THEM.
WAIT UP!
Chris and Martin follow the raven through the forest. They look tired as they chase her down a hill.
(Deep breathing)
Martin and Chris say,
I WISH...WE COULD...
FLY!
UUH!
The raven lands next to a frozen lake at the bottom of the hill. Martin and Chris slide down to her.
Gourmand hums as he walks across the ice toward an ice fishing hole. He wears a dark green jacket and a beige toque. He has a small mustache and a large pink nose.
Martin asks,
WHAT'S
GOURMAND DOING HERE?
Gourmand hums. Chris uses binoculars to watch him tug on the fishing line.
Chris says,
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S...
ICE FISHING.
HM, SEEMS PRETTY HARMLESS.
MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST LEAVE HIM?
Martin replies,
UH...
I THINK OUR RAVEN
HAS A DIFFERENT IDEA.
The raven takes off as Gourmand walks to the shore.
Chris shouts, WAIT! NO! COME BACK!
The raven swoops down to the fishing hole. Chris and Martin watch her hop around the line. A bell attached to the line rings.
Chris says,
THERE'S A FISH ON THE LINE!
The raven pulls up the line with her beak and talons.
Martin chuckles.
He asks,
WOW, HOW DID SHE LEARN
TO PULL UP THE LINE LIKE THAT?
Chris replies,
SHE MUST HAVE
OBSERVED HOW HUMANS FISH.
The raven pulls the fish out of the water and grabs it in her beak.
Martin gasps.
He adds,
AND FIGURED OUT
HOW TO PULL UP THE FISH.
Gourmand runs across the ice.
He shouts,
HOLD IT, YOU,
FEATHERY FISH RUSTLER!
THAT'S MY FISH YER SWALLOWIN',
AND I WANT IT BACK!
OHHH, STOP FISH THIEF!
Gourmand pulls out a weapon and shoots dough balls at the raven. The raven flies away from him.
(Blasting)
Gourmand says,
OOF, AH, WHOA!!!!
UH-OH...UGH...
He slips and drops the weapon on the ice.
(Blast!)
Gourmand says, UGH!
The weapon spins toward him and fires the dough balls at his face.
Chris and Martin laugh. The raven flies back to them.
Chris says,
RAVENS ARE SO SMART!
SHE EASILY OUTSMARTED GOURMAND.
The raven holds the fish in her mouth.
Martin laughs.
He says,
CLEVER!
I'LL NAME YOU CLEVER!
Chris adds,
CLEVER THE RAVEN! I LIKE IT!
YOUR NAMING POWER NEVER
CEASES TO AMAZE ME, BRO.
Martin says, NATURALLY.
Clever eats the fish and flies away from Chris and Martin. They chase her.
Later, Aviva works at a desk in Tortuga. Chris appears on a screen in front of her.
Chris asks,
HEY AVIVA, DO YOU WANT TO
CHECK OUT A SUPER-SMART BIRD?
Aviva replies,
SUPER-SMART BIRD?
YEAH! WHO?
Chris answers,
A RAVEN!!
AND MAYBE, YOU MIGHT FEEL LIKE
PROGRAMMING A RAVEN POWER SUIT?
Aviva says, OF COURSE I DO!
Chris replies, YESSSS!
Aviva adds,
I'LL BRING MY
MOBILE INVENTION KIT.
Chris ends the video chat. Aviva’s shoes turn into rollerblades. She skates around Tortuga with her invention kit strapped to her back. She speeds past Jimmy who tosses his pizza ingredients up in the air.
Jimmy says, AAAAH!!
The ingredients land on the pizza dough.
Jimmy says, PHEWWW!
Aviva skates down a hall and finds Koki in a room with a large laser in it. Aviva bumps into Koki who turns on the laser.
Koki says, NOOOO!
The laser works.
Koki says, OH YES!!
Aviva skates to the entrance and puts on a helmet. She uses her hoverbike with a sidecar to travel through the forest.
Meanwhile, Clever does tricks while she flies through the sky.
Chris says,
THE UPSIDE-DOWN DIVE!
THAT'S A CLASSIC
RAVEN FLIGHT PATTERN.
ROLL OVER,
UPSIDE DOWN, AND DIVE!
Clever perches on Martin’s forearm.
Martin adds,
OH, THAT LOOKS FUN!
I WISH WE HAD RAVEN POWER SUITS.
Aviva says,
I CAN HANDLE THAT!
She parks her hoverbike. Clever flies over to her.
Aviva says,
WOW, YOU ARE A COOL BIRD,
BUT ARE YOU SURE THIS IS
A RAVEN AND NOT A CROW?
Martin replies,
GREAT QUESTION, AVIVA,
AND THAT MEANS
IT'S TIME FOR A--
CREATURE COMPARISON!
(Echoing)
Martin’s voice echos in the mountains,
COMPARISON, COMPARISON!
Snow slides off the branches of a tree.
Chris says,
WELL, RAVENS ARE BIGGER,
ABOUT THE SIZE OF
A RED-TAILED HAWK.
CHECK!
Martin adds,
RAVENS HAVE
A BROADER BILL.
Chris says,
YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO SAY 'CHECK.'
Martin says, OH. CHECK!
Chris replies,
THAT'S RIGHT.
CROWS MAKE A CAWING SOUND.
(Caaw-caaw)
Chris says, CHECK.
Martin adds,
RAVENS MAKE
A CROAKING SOUND.
Clever croaks. Martin, Chris, and Aviva laugh.
Martin and Chris say, CHECK!
Martin adds,
CLEVER IS
DEFINITELY A RAVEN.
Aviva pets Clever
Chris says,
SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
PROGRAM A RAVEN POWER SUIT.
Aviva replies, WITH PLEASURE!
Clever flies away from Chris, Martin, and Aviva.
Chris gets on the hoverbike.
He says,
C'MON, WE GOTTA KEEP UP!
Martin and Aviva get on the hoverbike.
Aviva says,
THIS TAKES MOBILE
INVENTING TO NEW HEIGHTS!
Chris follows Clever through the forest. They return to the lake. A bald eagle eats a fish on the ice.
Chris says,
UH, MAYBE RAVENS
AREN'T ALWAYS SMART?
Clever hops toward the eagle. She tugs on the eagle’s tail feathers with her beak.
(Croak)
Martin shouts,
CLEVER?!
WHY ARE YOU MESSING
WITH A BALD EAGLE?
(Croak-croak)
The eagle turns to Clever.
LOOK OUT,
DON'T LET HIM GRAB YOU
WITH THOSE TALONS!
(Croak-croak)
Clever hops around the eagle.
Aviva replies,
BUT WAIT.
CLEVER IS SMART.
SHE KNOWS THAT THE EAGLE,
EVEN THOUGH MUCH BIGGER
AND MORE POWERFUL, CAN'T
GET TO HER IF SHE'S CLEVER.
SO, SHE PULLS AT THE EAGLE'S
TAIL FEATHERS FROM BEHIND.
Clever pulls on the eagle's tail feathers again. The eagle flies away from her.
Chris says,
YES! UNTIL THE
EAGLE GETS SO ANNOYED,
HE LEAVES THE FISH.
Clever eats the fish.
Martin adds, CLEVER, CLEVER.
Aviva says,
OOH, THESE
OBSERVATIONS ARE GOOD.
Later, Martin, Chris, and Aviva follow Clever as she flies through the air.
Martin shouts,
HELLLOOO!!
CLEVER, WHAT'S NEXT?
Cleaver soars down to the ground.
Chris asks,
CLEVER, WHERE
ARE YOU HEADED NOW?
(Camera clicking)
Donita, a model, poses for pictures beside a stool on a frozen lake. She wears a long blue dress with matching fur and hat. Her brown hair is parted and curls down to her chin.
Dabio, a man with long blonde hair, photographs Donita. He wears a thick blue coat with a grey scarf and a blue lumberjack hat.
Dabio says,
AW...YOU DO THE
BEST POSES, DONITA!
Donita replies,
THANK YOU,
DABIO DARLING.
Clever lands on the stool. She notices Donita’s shiny blue earrings.
Donita asks,
WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Clever steals one of Donita’s earrings.
Donita screams,
AAAH!
POSE BEAM!
Dabio replies, UH, YES, DONITA.
(Blasting)
Dabio shines a bright pink beam into the air. Clever flies away from it.
Dabio says,
WHOA!...AH AH AH...
WHOA. AAAH! WOAH!
Donita gasps. She dodges the beam as Dabio loses control of it.
Donita gasps again. Dabio hits her with the beam.
Donita says, UGH!
She falls on the ice.
Dabio says,
I DIDN'T HIT
THE BIRDIE, DONITA.
Donita shouts, DABIO!
Martin laughs. Clever lands on his arm
Martin says,
CLASSIC CLEVER RAVEN.
Aviva asks,
BUT WHY WOULD
SHE WANT A SHINY EARRING?
Chris replies,
WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT SHE'S UP TO.
Martin follows Clever across the forest. Clever swoops down to a small wood cabin in a grassy clearing.
Aviva asks,
WHY IS SHE
HEADING TO THAT CABIN?
Clever lands on a barrel next to the house. She looks in a window with the earring still in her beak.
(Tap-tap!)
Clever pecks on the window. Rose, a young girl, opens it. She wears a bright yellow jacket and a brown toque. Her blonde hair curls down to her shoulders.
Rose says,
GOOD MORNING!
YOU'RE A LITTLE LATE TODAY.
OH WOW! THIS IS A SPARKLY ONE!
THANK YOU.
Clever gives Rose the earring.
Martin, Chris, and Aviva walk over to the cabin.
Martin asks,
YOU KNOW EACH OTHER?
Rose hurries outside.
She replies,
WILD KRATTS, AWESOME!
HI, I'M ROSE.
YEAH, THIS RAVEN
AND I TRADE STUFF.
SHE BRINGS ME SHINY THINGS,
AND I GIVE HER A SNACK
AND A NECK SCRATCH.
Martin says,
OF COURSE!
RAVENS UNDERSTAND THE
CONCEPT OF TRADING.
Chris adds,
THEY TRADE
WITH EACH OTHER!
IT'S REALLY COMMON.
Aviva says,
THAT'S ANOTHER SIGN
OF THEIR HIGH INTELLIGENCE.
Martin replies, CLEVER, THE RAVEN.
Rose says,
THAT'S A GOOD NAME,
BUT I CALL HER SMARTYPANTS,
BECAUSE SHE'S SO SMART!
(Croak!)
(Chuckles)
Martin says, THAT WORKS TOO!
Aviva works on her tablet.
She says,
I'M DONE!
RAVEN POWER
PROGRAMMING COMPLETE!
Two green raven power discs pop out of the tablet. Martin and Chris take them.
They say,
THANKS, AVIVA!
INSERT RAVEN POWER DISCS.
TOUCH RAVEN!
ACTIVATE RAVEN POWERS!
Rose replies,
ACTIVATE RAVEN POWERS!
Clever imitates a human voice.
She says,
ACTIVATE RAVEN POWERS!
Aviva says,
AMAZING!
RAVENS CAN REALLY IMITATE!
(Zap)
Chris and Martin’s suits glow. Their hands transform into wings and their feet into talons.
Chris and Martin fly over Rose and Aviva.
Martin says, AND SO CAN WE!
Chris and Martin croak. They land on the ground. Clever lands beside them.
(Croak-croak)
Chris adds,
YEAH, WE'RE A CONSPIRACY!
A CONSPIRACY OF RAVENS.
Aviva replies, A CONSPIRACY?
Chris replies,
THAT'S WHAT YOU
CALL A GROUP OF RAVENS.
A CONSPIRACY.
Martin says,
WELL, LET'S CONSPIRE
TOGETHER AND FIND THOSE WOLVES!
Chris adds,
OH YEAH, WE HAVE A
CREATURE MISSION TO ACCOMPLISH.
Martin, Chris, and Clever fly over the forest. Aviva follows them on the hoverbike.
She says, BYE, ROSE!
Rose replies, GOOD LUCK!
Chris says, C'MON AVIVA!
Aviva says, RIGHT BEHIND YOU!
Clever twists as she dives down to a river.
Martin says,
UH-UH-UUUUH!
RAVENS LIKE TO PLAY.
Chris adds,
AND NOW WE CAN
UPSIDE-DOWN DIVE TOO!
Chris and Martin swoop down over the river. They fly alongside Aviva.
Aviva asks,
CLEVER, HAVE
YOU SPOTTED SOMETHING?
Martin and Chris ask, WOLVES?!
Clever flies ahead of the hoverbike.
Aviva replies,
NOT NEARLY THAT GOOD.
ZACH!
Zack, a man with short black hair and a small patch of hair on his chin, stands on the river’s edge with two large robots. He wears a black and red puffy jacket and red earmuffs.
Chris says,
UH-OH!
AND CLEVER WANTS A CLOSER LOOK!
Martin asks, WHY?
Chris shouts,
CLEVER, COME BACK!
THAT'S A VILLAIN!
Zack says,
CARVE A STATUE OF ME
OUT OF THIS BIG BLOCK OF ICE.
BE CAREFUL. DON'T DAMAGE IT!
The robots move toward a large block of ice. Clever lands on top of the ice. Zack points at her.
He says,
LISTEN BIRDY, GET
OFF MY ICE BLOCK!
IF YOU SCRATCH IT...
Chris and Martin fly down to Zack and Clever. They croak as they fly over Zack’s head.
(Raven croaking sounds)
Chris and Martin land at Zack’s feet.
Martin shouts, CLEVER, STOP!
Chris adds,
CROAK! HE'S DANGEROUS!
(Raven sounds)
Zack turns to Chris and Martin.
Zack asks,
THERE'S MORE?!
YOU NEED TO MOVE!
THE WORLD IS WAITING TO SEE
MY GREATNESS...
Martin shouts, HE'S BAD!
(Croak)
Zack says,
WHY ARE YOU
JUST SITTING THERE?
I SAID, SCRAM!
(Croak!)
Clever, Chris, and Martin peck at Zack.
Zack screams, AAAAHHHH!
Chris says,
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE HE CALLS HIS ZACHBOTS.
Clever, Chris, and Martin fly away from Zack.
Zack shouts,
ZACHBOTS SNOW BALL THEM!
The Zackbots chase Clever, Chris, and Martin through the forest. The Zackbots throw snowballs in the air while Clever, Chris, and Martin swoop down over Zack’s head.
Zack screams,
AHH!!
GET THEM!
Zack climbs to the top of the ice block.
(Splat!)
The Zackbots throw more snowballs. They hit Zack. He is covered in a layer of snow.
Martin laughs. He flies up to Aviva with Chris and Clever.
Aviva says,
AWESOME!
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED?
CLEVER MAY HAVE LEARNED
FROM THE OTHER RAVENS,
THAT WOULD BE YOU GUYS,
THAT ZACH WAS HER FOE
AND TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
NOW THAT'S VERY SMART!
Martin adds,
ANOTHER REASON
SHE'S CALLED CLEVER.
He wraps his wing around Clever.
Aviva says,
INTERESTING.
THIS GIVES ME AN IDEA
FOR A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT.
Later, Aviva lands the hoverbike in a forest clearing. Clever, Chris, and Martin are perched on a log. Aviva holds a notepad in front of them.
She says,
SO, THIS EXPERIMENT WILL TEST
WHETHER RAVENS HAVE THE ABILITY
TO RECOGNIZE HUMAN FACES,
AND TELL WHO IS A FRIEND
AND WHO IS A FOE.
AND, WHETHER A RAVEN
CAN TEACH ANOTHER RAVEN THAT.
(Croaking)
Aviva says, OKAY, LET'S GET STARTED!
(Chilling music)
Aviva holds up a cutout of Zach’s face over her face. Clever croaks angrily.
Aviva says,
CLEVER HAS LEARNED
THAT ZACH IS A BADDIE,
FROM WHEN HE THREW
SNOWBALLS AT HER.
NOW, LET'S TRY THIS!
Aviva holds up a cutout of Martin’s face. Clever croaks gently.
Martin and Chris croak with Clever.
Aviva says,
CLEVER RECOGNIZES
MARTIN'S FACE,
AND HAS LEARNED
THAT HE'S HER FRIEND.
Aviva holds up a cutout of Gourmand’s face. Clever croaks angrily.
Aviva holds up a cutout of Donita’s face. Clever croaks angrily again.
Aviva adds,
FROM HER ENCOUNTERS
WITH GOURMAND AND DONITA,
SHE HAS LEARNED
TO SEE THEM AS FOES.
Chris replies,
GOOD ONE
AVIVA, IT'S TRUE!
Martin says,
RAVENS CAN RECOGNIZE
THE FACES OF FRIENDS AND FOES.
Aviva asks,
BUT WHAT ABOUT
PEOPLE SHE HASN'T MET?
Aviva holds up a cutout of Koki’s face.
Chris and Martin croak gently. Clever joins them.
Aviva says,
AMAZING!
CLEVER DOESN'T KNOW KOKI,
BUT SHE LEARNED, FROM
FELLOW RAVEN REACTIONS,
THAT KOKI IS A FRIEND.
Aviva holds up a cutout of a blonde-haired person wearing square-framed glasses. Chris and Martin croak angrily. Clever joins them.
Aviva holds up a cutout of Jimmy. Chris and Martin croak gently. Clever joins them.
Aviva says,
SCIENCE
EXPERIMENT COMPLETE!
CONCLUSION: RAVENS CAN
RECOGNIZE AND REMEMBER
WHO IS A FOE AND
WHO IS A FRIEND.
AND THEY CAN ALSO LEARN
THIS FROM OTHER RAVENS.
OH AND ONE OTHER CONCLUSION.
CLEVER IS VERY CLEVER.
Clever perches on Aviva’s arm then takes off back into the forest.
Chris adds,
AND HUNGRY AGAIN, WAIT UP!
Chris and Martin follow Clever.
Later, Clever, Chris, and Martin fly past snow-capped mountains. Aviva rides the hoverbike behind them. They all fly low over a frozen river.
Clever, Chris, and Martin land in another grassy clearing. A patch of animal fur lies on a snowy hill.
Martin asks,
HUH, WHY ARE
YOU STOPPING HERE?
Chris adds, IT'S BISON HIDE.
Clever pecks at the bison hide.
Aviva says,
AWESOME!
RAVENS SCAVENGE FOOD, TOO.
Martin replies,
BUT IT'S TOO THICK.
A RAVEN CAN'T GET
THROUGH THE TOUGH HIDE
TO GET TO THE MEAT TO EAT.
UGH!
Martin pecks quickly at the bison hide. He looks dizzy and falls over.
Clever imitates a wolf howl.
Aviva asks,
WHY IS CLEVER HOWLING?
(Distant howl)
A pack of three white and grey wolves appears in the forest.
Martin says,
WOLVES!
AND THEY'RE ANSWERING.
The wolves walk toward the bison hide. Chris and Martin fly up to Aviva while she floats above on the hover bike.
Chris says,
I THINK I KNOW
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.
SHE CAN'T PICK THROUGH THE THICK
BISON HIDE, TO GET TO THE MEAT.
SO, SHE'S CALLING IN
THE WOLVES TO HELP HER.
THAT'S MY THEORY...
One of the wolves growls while they feed on the bison. Clever flies up into the air.
Chris and Martin say, UH-OH!
Clever flies down and lands on the hide.
Chris says,
CAREFUL, CLEVER.
WOLVES ARE FOOD AGGRESSIVE.
Clever takes some food and flies away from the wolves.
Martin says,
AND YOUR THEORY
HAS PROVEN...CORRECT!
CLEVER, CLEVER.
Clever eats the food.
Chris adds,
YES! SHE
CALLED THE WOLVES,
BECAUSE THEIR STRONG
JAWS CAN GET THROUGH
THE THICK HIDE TO THE MEAT.
INGENIOUS!
Martin replies,
HEY, THIS IS ANOTHER
SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP!
WHERE TWO DIFFERENT
SPECIES OF ANIMALS
EACH GET SOMETHING
FROM WORKING TOGETHER.
Aviva says,
I SEE!
CLEVER TOLD THE WOLVES
WHERE THE FOOD WAS,
AND THE WOLVES GAVE
HER ACCESS TO THE FOOD.
THEY BOTH GOT
SOMETHING OUT OF IT.
JUST AS YOU SAID,
A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE RAVEN AND THE WOLF.
Chris adds,
AND THAT'S NOT ALL!
RAVENS ARE ALSO LOOK OUTS.
WHAT DO YOU SEE, CLEVER?
Clever perches on a tall evergreen tree.
(Frantic croaking)
The wolves are alerted.
Martin says,
A WARNING!
A VILLAIN IS COMING.
Gourmand runs through the forest holding his weapon.
He shouts,
NO RASCALLY RAVEN IS
GONNA STEAL A FISH FROM MOI,
AND GET AWAY WITH IT!
Chris says,
HE'S GOT
THE DOUGH BLASTER!
Gourmand fires dough into the air. Chris, Martin, Aviva, Clever, and the wolves hurry away from him.
(Croaking)
Gourmand loses his balance.
He says,
GRRR.
OOF...UGH…
Gourmand falls against a tree. A large pile of snow lands on his head.
(Splat)
Gourmand says, GRRR!
Meanwhile, Chris, Martin, Aviva, Clever, and the wolves move quickly through the forest.
Aviva says,
PHEW, THAT
WAS A CLOSE ONE!
HEY, I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING.
WHY IS CLEVER ALL ALONE?
DON'T RAVENS LIVE IN GROUPS?
WHERE ARE THE OTHER
MEMBERS OF THE CONSPIRACY?
Chris replies,
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
MOSTLY THEY LIVE IN GROUPS,
BUT SOMETIMES THEY'RE SOLITARY.
MAYBE CLEVER IS ALL ALONE.
Martin asks,
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ALONE?
SHE'S GOT US AND THE WOLVES.
He rides on the back of one of the wolves.
Chris says,
SHE SURE DOES!
YOU KNOW BRO, I GOTTA
ADMIT YOU WERE RIGHT.
CLEVER THE RAVEN DID
LEAD US TO THE WOLVES
AND RIGHT BACK TO
THE PACK'S DEN AND...
Chris and Martin shout, LITTLE HOWLER!!
Little Howler, the wolf cub, pokes its head out of a stone wolf den. It jumps up and down while Chris and Martin fly above it.
Martin says, HEY BUDDY!
Chris adds,
WE MISSED YOU!
Little Howler howls.
Martin says,
IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!
Little Howler, Chris, and Martin howl.
Aviva says,
OKAY, I'LL SAY IT.
CREATURE MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Clever flies away from Aviva.
Aviva asks,
WHERE YOU GOING?
WHAT'S UP THERE?
Clever lands in a nest with two other ravens.
Aviva flies the hoverbike up to the nest.
She says,
LET'S GO CHECK IT OUT!
CLEVER HAS ONE MORE
SURPRISE FOR US.
SHE BROUGHT US TO
HER CONSPIRACY.
THEY HAVE A NEST RIGHT
HERE IN THIS PINE TREE.
(Croak-croak)
Martin replies,
SHE WANTS
US TO JOIN THEM.
Aviva says,
SORRY CLEVER,
I'M TOO BIG!
(Croaking)
Aviva says,
WAIT! I PROGRAMMED AN EXTRA DISC
AND I HAVE MY VEST!
INSERT RAVEN POWER DISC...
TOUCH RAVEN...
ACTIVATE RAVEN POWER!
Aviva’s arms transform into wings and her feet turn into talons. A bright pink light flashes. Aviva flies above the nest.
She says,
NOW I CAN JOIN THE
CONSPIRACY TOO!
Chris and Martin cheer, YEAH!!!
They land in the nest while Aviva continues to fly in circles.
Aviva adds,
WHOOHOO!
FLYING LIKE A RAVEN IS FUN!
Martin looks around the nest.
He says,
OH WOW.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS.
THERE'S ONE MORE ADDITION
TO THE CONSPIRACY!
A raven chick smiles.
Chris and Martin say, A RAVEN CHICK!
(Baby croaking)
The raven chick falls over.
Aviva, Chris, and Martin say, AWWWW...
On the ground, Koki rides a beige jeep past the wolf pack. She parks and Jimmy waves to Aviva, Chris, and Martin.
Koki asks,
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
UP THERE IN THE TREE?
Chris replies,
ADVENTURING WITH RAVENS!
Chris, Martin, Clever, and the other ravens fly down to Koki.
Martin adds,
RAVENS ARE SOOOO COOL!
Koki says,
WELL, I'M GLAD
YOU HAD A GOOD TIME.
I FINISHED THE DIAGNOSTIC,
BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG
WITH THE PLUMBING AND--
Clever imitates a toilet flush. She does it again. Koki looks shocked.
She asks, WHAT?! IT WAS YOU?
Martin says,
UH...
I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU. UM--
ONE THING WE LEARNED, IS RAVENS
CAN MIMIC ALL KIND OF SOUNDS.
Jimmy asks, WHO WANTS PIZZA?
He holds a pizza above his head.
Chris says,
AND UH, JIMMY,
RAVENS ARE SCAVENGERS.
IF THEY CAN STEAL
SALMON FROM BALD EAGLES,
I DON'T THINK YOUR
PIZZA STANDS A CHANCE.
(Approaching croaking)
The ravens swoop down to Jimmy and his pizza.
Jimmy says,
OH NO!
LEAVE MY PIZZA ALONE!
IT'S MINE!
The ravens chase Jimmy through the forest.
Aviva says,
NOW THAT'S A
CONSPIRACY OF RAVENS AT WORK!
Martin chuckles.
He says,
THE RAVEN PIZZA CONSPIRACY!
Jimmy pants as he returns to the jeep.
He says,
I MANAGED TO SAVE
A SLICE OF PIZZA.
Clever says, PIZZA.
Everyone laughs.
Jimmy replies,
IT'S ALL YOURS, CLEVER.
Clever takes a half-eaten pizza slice from Jimmy and flies away from him.
Chris says,
THERE GOES
CLEVER THE RAVEN.
LIVING FREE AND IN THE WILD!
A green light flashes. Chris and Martin return to real life.
Chris says,
SO, RAVENS ARE ONE OF THE
COOLEST AND SMARTEST BIRDS
IN THE ENTIRE CREATURE WORLD.
Martin adds,
AND THEY HAVE A
CLOSE RELATIVE, THE CROWS.
WHO SHARE A LOT SIMILAR
CHARACTERISTICS
THEY ARE ALSO DIFFERENT
IN THEIR OWN WAYS.
Chris says,
LET'S CHECK OUT THE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CROWS...
Martin replies, ...AND RAVENS.
A raven flies over thick brush in a clearing. It perches on a dead tree.
Chris says,
WHEN MOST PEOPLE SEE A
BLACK BIRD FLYING IN THE SKY,
THEY THINK IT'S A CROW.
Martin adds,
BUT NOW YOU
KNOW ALL ABOUT RAVENS.
SO, WHEN YOU SEE A BLACK BIRD,
YOU KNOW IT COULD BE
A CROW OR A RAVEN,
BUT HOW DO YOU
TELL THE DIFFERENCE?
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO GO OVER.
FIRST OF ALL, RAVENS ARE BIGGER.
THEY HAVE HEFTIER BODIES AND
ALSO BROADER BIGGER BEAKS.
Chris says,
CROWS ARE
MUCH SMALLER BIRDS,
THEY HAVE A MORE SLENDER BODY
AND A MORE SLENDER POINTY BEAK.
Martin adds,
AND ON THE BEAK,
RAVENS HAVE THESE LONG BRISTLES.
THERE CALLED NASAL BRISTLES,
YOU CAN REALLY SEE THEM.
Chris says,
CROWS HAVE
NASAL BRISTLES TOO.
YOU HARDLY EVEN NOTICE THEM.
Martin replies,
ANOTHER THING
IS THE NECK FEATHERS.
RAVENS HAVE SHAGGY
NECK FEATHERS,
THEY'RE CALLED HACKLES.
Chris adds,
CROWS NECKS ARE SMOOTHER.
Martin says,
RAVENS LOVE
TO SOAR AND GLIDE.
AND THEY PERFORM
AERIAL ACROBATICS
WHEN THEY PLAY TOGETHER.
Chris says,
CROWS LIKE TO
FLAP AROUND A LITTLE MORE.
Martin adds,
RAVENS OFTEN FLY
ALONE OR IN SMALL GROUPS.
Chris says,
CROWS CAN BE SEEN
IN MUCH BIGGER GROUPS
AND SOMETIMES SIT AROUND IN
TREES IN LARGE NUMBERS.
AND THEIR VOCALIZATIONS
ARE DIFFERENT TO.
Martin says,
AS YOU KNOW, RAVENS
CAN MAKE A LOT OF SOUNDS,
BUT THEIR MAIN SOUND
IS LIKE A CROAKING SOUND.
(Croak-croak)
Chris says,
CROWS MAKE THAT CLASSIC
'CAW-CAW-CAW' SOUND.
Martin replies, WELL DONE!
Chris chuckles.
He adds, BUT BOTH CROWS AND
RAVENS ARE SUPER SMART.
Martin says,
YEAH, THEY ARE
AMAZING BIRD BRAINS!
The raven flies away from Chris and Martin.
Martin says,
WHEN YOU'RE OUT IN THE WILD,
YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO SEE A CROW
AND COULD GET LUCKY
AND SPOT A RAVEN.
Chris adds,
SO, REMEMBER
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A CROW AND A RAVEN,
AND KEEP ON CREATURE
ADVENTURING!
Martin says,
WE'LL SEE YOU
ON THE CREATURE TRAIL!
