Wild Kratts
Beetle Battle!
Clip: Season 5 Episode 16 | 4m 3sVideo has Closed Captions
It takes the Wild Kratts Team all hands on deck to stop Hercules the giant beetle.
Going up against a gigantic beetle is tough for the bros who are regular sized. The Wild Kratts Team head into action with the Tortuga, tricking the beetle into thinking it's another beetle. This gives Aviva a chance to fix the miniaturizer and the bros time to flip Hercules on his back right and on to the miniaturizer.

Where'd he go?
[Jimmy Z] I don't know, I don't see him anywhere.
[Koki] There he is!
[Koki] Hey, Hercules!
Stop right there!
[Martin] I think he's falling for our Tortuga decoy!
Come on, let's get into position.
Okay, here we go.
I hope everybody else is ready.
Gotta get this miniaturizer repaired fast.
I gotta say Atlas, you insects fascinate me, There's so much amazing creature power packed into [Aviva] your small, little bodies.
Sure is strange to imagine what the world would be like, if insects were bigger.
But you're not, so we have to set things right in the creature world.
And fa... (grunts) We've got the best seat in the house.
Oh, I mean city.
[Chris] Oh yeah, and for this plan to work, our timing needs to be spot on.
[Koki] Jimmy, engage robotic arms.
[Jimmy Z] Engaged!
This is weird, a giant beetle and a turtle ship in a wrestling match?
Hang onto him, Jimmy!
Don't disengage.
[Jimmy Z] I'm not, but he's too strong.
Even for the Tortuga.
And we don't have those little, grabby pokes on our legs to hold onto anything.
[Koki and Jimmy Z] Uh oh!
Whoa!!!
[Koki] Well, that confirms it.
If a Hercules beetle was the size of a two storey house, it could lift a jet airplane.
[Chris] Now!
While he thinks he won, we can get in there.
Got him!
Me too!
[Martin and Chris] Lift!
I don't know if we're strong enough.
[Chris] By my calculations, a Hercules beetle the size and weight of a human should be able to lift about 100 times their weight.
That's like lifting a big truck!
Exactly.
So two human size beetles should be able to lift it.
[Martin] We're budging him.
Keep going!
Lift!!
[Martin] We did it!
That is a take up, bro.
[Chris] Miniaturizer, we need... the miniaturizer.
Almost ready.
Keep holding him!
[Chris] Hurry, we can't hold him much longer.
[Martin] Gotta keep hi s feet off the ground.
(power drill sound) [Aviva] Come on Atlas!
Let's go!
[Aviva] If I'm not too late.
Can't...hold it...anymore.
[Aviva] I'm coming!
[Aviva] I'm here, guys!
Huh?
(Aviva gasps) [Aviva] Uh oh!
( crashing sound ) [Chris and Martin] Aviva!
Are you ok?
I'm fine, but he looks really mad.
Hercules, hey wait, we're just trying to help.
(Martin yells) [Chris] Easy, buddy!
Oh no, you don't!
[Aviva] Miniaturize!
I like you much better that size.
