Where to Watch Wild Kratts
Wild Kratts is available to stream on pbs.org and the PBS app.
Chris: With bald eagle powers of keen eyesight and a bird's eye view, I should be able to spot some deer.
One deer can have a home range of more than 500 acres of woods, fields, and even human neighborhoods.
Which is exactly why Buckaroo showed up a second time.
Aviva: So why did you guys want to plant these dogwood seedlings so badly?
Chris: It's one of the favorite foods of the white-tailed deer.
Great for cover too.
Martin: We met the cutest little fawn today.
So we thought we'd help the deer out a little bit.
Aviva: Cool.
Look at how many we planted so far.
Leo: Chris!
Martin!
Aviva!
We need your help.
Audrey: With a creature rescue.
Martin: Hey Audrey, Leo, what's going on?
Leo: We found an animal in trouble, so we brought him to you.
Martin/Chris: Buckaroo!
Audrey He was all alone in a field.
Martin: Um...uh...
Okay, you kids are great for wanting to help animals...but... Chris:...sometimes animals may seem like they're in trouble... but they're really not.
Leo: What do you mean?
Martin: It's natural for a fawn to be alone in the grass or the woods.
Audrey: It is?
Chris: It sure is.
So the best thing to do is leave the fawn alone and his mother will come back.
Leo: Oh no.
We made a big mistake.
Audrey: We're sorry.
We were only trying to help.
Aviva: We know.
And don't worry.
Together we can fix this, right guys?
Martin: Right.
We'll get him back to his mom.
And in the meantime, we know exactly how to care for him.
Chris: We sure do.
With special fawn milk to tide him over.
Leo: Cool!
Audrey: Awesome!
Martin: I really hope we can get this guy back to his Mom.
Chris: I know.
We've got to try.
Chris: Finding a certain individual deer isn't easy.
Even though white-tailed deer are the most common large mammal in North America.
Jenny: Chris!
Down here!
Chris: Coming down Jenny!
Hey... Jenny: Chris, we just got Koki's message.
There's a place near here where there's lots of deer.
Nolan: There's so much sumac for the deer to eat.
It's that way.
Over that hill.
Chris: Thanks Nolan, I'll check it out!
Jenny: Bye!
Nolan: Good luck!!
Aviva: Okay, we're almost there.
One last thing to program.
I'm going to make sure you have a big full rack, isn't that what you call it?
Martin: Oh yeah!
Great.
I'm ready.
Aviva: And.. print White- tailed Deer PowerDisc.
Catch.
Martin: Insert Creature Power Disc.. touch deer or antler... and activate White-tailed Deer Power!
Wow!
I feel graceful and deer like.
Aviva: Momentito, something doesn't look like a deer.
Martin: What?
Horns!
Who ever heard of a deer with horns!
Aviva: Uh-oh there must have been mistake in the programming module I connected to.
Martin: Deer don't have horns.
They have antlers.
Jimmy: Eh, horns.
Antlers.
What's the diff?
Martin: That's like saying there's no difference between a baseball and a tennis ball.
Horns and antlers are different.
Jimmy: That different?
Koki : Yeah.
Look here Jimmy.
Horns grow continuously throughout the buffalo's life.
They are fed by blood vessels and growth plates in the core of the horn.
They never fall off or shed.
Martin: Antlers, on the other hand, are fed by blood vessels in the outer coating, called velvet.
And the amazing thing is, deer grow a new set of antlers every year.
They start growing in the spring and then sometime in the winter, automatically fall off.
Jimmy: They hit the old antler eject button.
Martin: Well sort of.
