Koki: Wow.
Beautiful!
So much life here to see... (howling) And strange sounds to hear.
(howling) Sounds like a monster!
Martin: It's not a monster, it's a monkey!
Look...howler monkeys!
(howling) Koki: Well, I see where they get their name.
Chris: They're a vegetarian monkey.
They eat mostly leaves and fruit.
Martin: And check this out Aviva, they have a special bone in their throat that makes that awesome sound.
See, the hyoid bone.
Aviva: Right, it acts like a resonating chamber and that bone helps to amplify the sound making it louder.
Martin: Very inspiring huh?
It's kind of like a megaphone built into the throat of the monkey.
(monkey imitation call) And these monkeys had hyoid bones way before humans invented megaphones.
Aviva: Well that's a good example of nature's inventions, but I'm looking for something higher tech.
Hmm... Martin: We're not going to give up.
We got to find something.
Chris: Yeah, we'll find another one of nature's inventions to inspire her.
A hummingbird!
Perfect.
With its power, I can do a quick buzz around the forest to see if I can find anything in there.
Insert Hummingbird Power Disc.
Touch hummingbird.
And activate hummingbird powers!
(exciting transformation music) ♪♪ Awesome.
I feel so full of energy!
A mini-helicopter bird.
Be right back Aviva!
Wow, the rivers and lakes are part of the story out here.
And the amazing forest is the other.
The Amazon is sometimes called 'the lungs of the earth' because there's so much plant life giving off oxygen that we breathe.
Koki: That's right Chris, almost 20 percent of the world's oxygen comes from the Amazon.
Chris: And all this plant life supports kinkajous, sloths, praying mantises, hey Liturgusa krattorum, tamarin monkeys, and much more.
Want to check out any of those, Aviva?
(beep) Uh-oh.
Sugar Levels low.
I got to fuel back up!
Martin: Go find some nectar.
Chris: Oh no, need that flower nectar now!
Ahhh....ahhh.... red-bellied piranha!
Not just one...lots of them!
Martin: They're hungry!
Koki: Hang on Chris!
Chris: Yikes!
Oh those teeth are shaaarp!
Martin: We're coming bro!
Chris: A rock.
Got to get to the rock... Ow!
Oh.
Ah...Whew!
Aah!
That was close.
Aviva: Chris!
Martin: Chris, you ok?
Chris: Yeah, thanks to this rock... which is...kind of hairy...whoa!
Martin: Cause that rock is a capybara!
Aviva: What are they?
