No Goliath Tarantula yet.
Ooh, but looks like I found some cows.
(cows moo) But I don't want to be a moo cow for Halloween.
Ohhh, yeah I know how you feel, I'm tired too.
(Martin yawns) Maybe I'll just rest here with you for a sec.
(yawning) (spooky sounds) A Vampire Bat!
Oooh hooo!
Phew.
You're not scary.
More like a little creepy... and totally cool.
Look at that nose.
[Martin] Specially designed for sensing heat.
The heat of blood.
Blood is what a Vampire Bat eats.
And that's what he's searching for.
Hey Aviva, you getting this?
[Aviva] I sure am.
Let's break it down.
[Martin] The Vampire bat is drawn to the heat of the blood that flows near the surface of the cow's skin.
When the bat finds the spot, cue razor sharp teeth.
He nips the neck with his incisors.
Blood flows.
The bat licks up the blood.
Blood is the Vampire Bat's number one food.
Oh and check it out.
The Vampire Bat has a special grooved tongue that is really good at licking up blood.
The special formula of the bat's spit, or saliva, keeps the blood flowing.
Oh, they can drink 2 tablespoons of blood in around 20 minutes.
That's a full meal for the Vampire Bat.
Not enough blood to harm the cow, who's still sleeping by the way, but enough to give the Vampire Bat the meal it needs to survive.
Uh oh, but with a full belly, the Vampire Bat has to rest a while before it takes off, but he can still walk around... and run!
You know a Vampire Bat is the only bat in the world who can run and jump!
Oh oh cool!
Look at him go.
Ooh he looks really creepy cool.
[Aviva] Increible!
That is amazing!
Vampire Bat powers are some unusual and interesting Creature Powers.
Oh yeah they're going to make a great Halloween Creature Power Suit for Chris.
[Aviva] Let's surprise him!
He's going to love it!
I would really love to find a Vampire Bat, so I could have a Vampire Bat Power suit for my Halloween costume.
[Chris] Nothing in there.
Hmmm... [Chris] Oh....they might be inside that cave.
(spooky music) Here batty, batty, batties.
Hmmm, you'd think there'd be some Vampire Bats hanging from the ceiling.
But nothing.
Wah!
Is someone there?
Aaahh!
Who is that?
Hmm, huh, why does my hair feel fuzzier?
Uh oh .. a Goliath Tarantula!
Terrific!
You're not scary.
You're just really [Chris] creepy cool.
Aviva you've got to see this spider!
[Aviva] Amazing.
Look at these fangs.
[Chris] They inject venom for hunting.
Lucky for me, he's not hungry right now.
And they have a great defense.
When he's alarmed the Tarantula can rub his abdomen with his hind legs to release urticating hairs, which are irritating to the skin.
That's cool.
And check out this offense.
Eight strong legs.
He's called the birdeating spider because they have been seen eating and catching birds.
Also rodents and lizards.
Wow, that's some good stuff!
This is going to make a great new Creature Power suit for Halloween, for my bro.
[Aviva] Yeah... let's surprise him [Chris] Martin is going to love it.
[Aviva] The Goliath Tarantula and the Vampire Bat.
Wheeee!
They're both going to love their new Creature Power Suit surprises.
Here are two blank Creature Powers discs.
And you've gotta program both of them into Halloween surprises.
Yeah!
There's not much time.
