♪ Wild Kratts!

♪ - [Chris] On the continent of Asia, including parts of the country of India, an impressive big cat roams the wi ld forests and grasslands.

The Bengal Tiger.

Hey it's us the Kratt Brothers.

I'm Chris.

- I'm Martin.

- [Martin] We've been creature adventuring with a lot of animals that are masters of camouflage.

Like chameleons who blend in with the color of their surroundings and sneak up on bugs.

- [Chris] Or this Praying mantis, who is perfectly camouflaged as a leaf.

- [Martin] But there's one master of camouflage who is perhaps the most powerful and stealthy of them all.

- [Chris] We're talking about the tiger.

-[Chris] To be more specific, the Bengal tiger found here in India.

-[Chris] Oh wow.

Check it out.

The Bengal tiger.

One of the world's mightiest land predators with super strong muscles, lightning fast reflexes and look at those stripes.

Tiger stripe patterns are like fingerprints.

No two tigers have the sa me exact pattern.

And it's that striped pattern that lets the Bengal tiger blend into their surroundings making them such stealthy predators.

Oh Chital deer.

Aw, but lucky for them, it looks like this tiger has already had a meal.

Imagine if we could step into the paws of the tiger.

- [Martin] Imagine if we had Bengal tiger power.

- [Chris And Martin] What if?

-[Martin] You have to notice things that others miss.

- [Koki] Well, you guys are the best there is.

Tell me more.

- [Chris] It's a special awareness you have to have.

-[Martin] We call it our creature sense.

-[Chris] Nothing gets past us, nothing at all!

- [Aviva] Nothing?

- [Both] Ahhhhh!!

- What's the matter guys?

(Koki laughing) - [Koki] Seems like that creature sense of yours needs a little tune-up there.

(both groaning) - [Aviva] Yeah, I just saw a raccoon I wanted to show you guys.

See, that's all.

- [Chris And Martin] Oh great.

- [Koki] Great spotting Aviva.

- [Aviva] Thanks.

It was easy really.

Anybody could have seen it.

- [Chris] Uh, Martin, do you think we've lost our creature sense?

- [Martin] Maybe, I mean that's just not like us to miss so much.

- [Donita] Ahem!

- [Chris And Martin] Ahhhh!!!!!

- [Martin] Aw, you gotta be kidding me?!

- [Chris] Surprised again.

- [Donita] Oh, hello Kratt Brothers.

Nice day isn't it?

- [Chris] Well, we have had better.

- [Donita] Oh well, cheer up.

A bad day can't keep a couple of tigers like you down.

- [Dabio] Ow, you guys are tigers all right.

- [Martin] Well thanks I guess.

- [Donita] Okay, well, it's back to the mansion for us.

You know how it is, top fashion designers like me need to spend plenty of time relaxing in luxury!

- [Chris] Well, I wouldn't exactly call her a top fashion designer.

After all she does like to use innocent animals in her fashion designs.

- [Martin] Well at least she's going to sit around in her mansion for awhile.

- [Chris] Well, we can't sit around.

What about our creature sense?

This is a crisis situation, bro.

- [Martin] Let's not jump to conclusions.

We need to put our creature sense through the paces.

- [Chris] And prove to ourselves that we've still got it.

With the biggest challenge we can think of.

- [Chris And Martin] Hmmm...

tigers!!!

- [Chris] That's it!

The ultimate stealth machine.

Who's more in tune with nature than the Bengal tiger?

- [Martin] No one!

And if we can find a tiger before a tiger finds us we'll know we've still got our creature sense!

- [Chris] Oh ho, let's do this!

- [Martin] Yeah!

- [Chris And Martin] Bengal tigers here we come!

- [Donita] See Dabio, I knew we could get them to help us find a tiger.

All we had to do was mention tigers and off they'd go!

- [Dabio] Ooo, you still have your villain sense Donita.

- [Donita] I know.

(laughter) (laughter) - [Chris] Ah, the country of India.

Okay bro, time to do this Pure Kratt.

No power suits.

- [Martin] Nothing but us and our creature sense.

- [Chris] Now where are those tigers?

- [Martin] They could be anywhere.

I mean, a camouflaged ambush hunter that likes to attack from behind.

See anything Chris?

Chris?

- Yeah.

- [Martin] Ahhhh!!

Two faces?!!

Trust me bro, one Chris face is more than enough.

- [Chris] You said it yourself Martin.

Tigers like to attack from behind when the prey isn't looking.

So, wear a mask on the back of your head, and trick a tiger.

He can't sneak up from behind me now.

Because there is no 'behind me'.

- [Martin] Nice!

But we're supposed to find the tiger before he finds us remember?

- [Chris] Right on brother!

- [Martin] So who needs masks?

- [Chris] Not us!

- [Martin] No way, no how!

(leaves rustling) Ah, but do you have another one of those masks just in case?

- [Chris] Got you covered bro.

- [Martin] Thanks.

(chuckling) (ominous music) - [Aviva] Jimmy, Jimmy, wake up!

Have you seen the Kratt Brothers?

They're gone!

Koki and I can't find them anywhere and they're not answering their creature pods.

- [Koki] I searched the garage too.

No Kratt Brothers!

But their space pod's gone!

- [Aviva] So they did leave.

- [Koki] And I found this on their computer.

- [Aviva] Bengal tigers, a map of India?

- [Koki] Can you guess what that means?

- [Jimmy] Tigers live in India.

I could of told you that.

- [Aviva] Jimmy, set a course for India.

- [Martin] Hmmm, that looks like good tiger habitat over there.

- [Chris] Yeah, but how are we going to get across?

- [Martin] Hmmm... - [Chris] Aha!

It's a good thing I packed our trusty inflatable dingy.

- [Martin] Nice one bro.

- [Chris] Let's go.

Wow, it sure would be cool to spot a tiger out here.

- [Martin] Yeah, a big wildcat who loves water and has incredible swimming powers.

I mean that's pretty rare.

- [Chris] Yeah, they're so good at swimming that they'll even stalk prey through the water.

Um, Martin, you want a turn in the back?

- [Martin] Sure!

Wait a second.

No way!

I'm not sitting in the back.

I've heard of tigers snatching people out of boats!

- [Chris] Ah, well, I don't want the back either.

- [Martin] Hey, no problem bro.

I know who will sit in the back.

Ah here he is.

- [Chris] Of course.

- [Martin] Brad!

It's a good thing I packed our trusty crash test dummy.

Just in case, on the off chance, the tiger finds us first.

- [Chris] Which is not going to happen.

- [Martin] No way, no how!

Hey hang on there Brad.

We'll be there soon.

Brad?

(gasps) He's gone!

- [Chris] Ah, you thinking what I'm thinking?

- [Martin] I think I'm thinking what you're thinking.

- [Chris] Uh oh.

- [Chris And Martin] Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Whooaaaaaa!!!!!

Ooof!

- [Martin] Ahhh.

- [Chris] Ah, well I have a feeling a tiger has spotted us.

- [Martin] But we still haven't spotted one of them, aahh.

- [Chris] Yeah those stripes, they just mix in with the dappled vertical shadows of the forest and make tigers so hard to see.

- [Martin] And they're so stealthy.

Those padded paws don't make a sound.

(gasps) Aaahhh!!!!

- [Chris] A tiger, we found one!

- [Martin] Aw, I think he found us.

- [Chris] Hey little guy!

Aw, you're pretty sneaky.

Nice camouflage.

- [Martin] (giggles) Yeah, awesome camo!

Hey, that's what I'll call you Camo!

Awww, well bro, I'm happy we're meeting a tiger cub, but you know what this means?

- [Chris] We didn't know he was there.

We failed in our challenge.

Our creature sense.

- [Chris And Martin] It's gone!

- [Chris] Hey, where's he going?

- [Martin] Let's find out.

Whoaaaa!

- [Chris] Wow!

- [Aviva] Jimmy, wait, down there!

Is that Donita?

- [Donita] They went across there Dabio.

We have to follow them.

- [Dabio] Uh, okay Donita.

- [Aviva] Hello Donita!

- [Donita] oh hello darling.

Nice day.

- [Aviva] Donita, I was wondering if you've seen the Kratt Brothers out here.

It's important.

- [Dabio] Wow, we were just going-- - [Donita] Ahem, um, the Kratt Brothers, why yes, we just saw them.

They were going that way.

- [Aviva] That way?

- [Donita] For sure, that way.

- [Aviva] Ah, okay, thanks.

- [Donita] Quick Dabio, that way.

Follow those Kratt Brothers!

- [Dabio] Ah, aah, right Donita!

- [Martin] Wow, she's impressive.

The queen of her domain, master of stealth.

I'm going to call her Queen Stealth.

- [Chris] And look, Camo has a sister and a brother!

- [Martin] Oh oh, nice eyes.

Oh I love that tiger cubs have blue eyes before they turn light gold.

I'll call you Baby Blue.

And you'll be Tackle!

- [Chris] Oh ho ho, these tiger cubs love to practice their tiger moves.

Wow Queen Stealth must know what she's doing.

Three healthy tiger cubs.

- [Martin] Yup, she rules the place.

- [Chris] Totally in tune with nature.

- [Chris] You know what Martin?

If anybody can help us get our creature sense back, it's her.

- [Martin] Yes we have to tap into the tiger's incredible awareness of the forest.

Hey, Brad!

- [Chris] Check it out, some fur.

Aviva come in, tiger trackers here, come in Aviva.

- [Aviva] Well it's about time.

We were looking all over for you!

- [Koki] Tiger trackers, really?

- [Chris] Actually we're in what you might call a slump.

We really need your help.

- [Martin] Yeah, we need to be more like tigers and figure out tiger power.

Can you help us?

- [Aviva, Koki] Hmmm - [Aviva] Okay we will.

But I'm only doing it because my future inventions depend on you guys being sharp out there.

- [Koki] And because we love tigers.

- [Chris & Martin] Thanks Koki.

- [Martin] Thanks Aviva.

- [Chris] She's on the move!

- [Martin] Let's go!

- [Aviva] Okay, so far so good.

No wonder the tiger is such an awesome predator.

Its senses of sight, smell, and hearing are top-notch.

What have you got on the stripes Koki?

- [Koki] The camouflage feature is tiger to the core.

Did you know that underneath the fur, even the tiger's skin is striped?

And every tiger has its own stripe pattern.

- [Aviva] Awesome lets implement that into the suit.

Okay Jimmy.

We're ready to test the paw prototype.

- [Jimmy] Wow, it's about as big as my face!

- [Aviva] It's in stealth mode now.

See, no claws showing.

Just sound-muffling pads and fur to make the tiger's footsteps super quiet.

- [Jimmy] Oh yeah, they're soft, niiiicccee ahhh.

- [Aviva] Jimmy careful, don't press - [Jimmy] Oooowwwww!!!!

- [Aviva] Ooh, the Hunting Mode switch.

Hold still.

- [Jimmy and Aviva] Oooww, ughh, ahhh!!!

- [Aviva] Tigers have retractable claws Jimmy.

They can just pop them out when they need them.

Claws are attached to muscles and ligaments that move them in and out.

Retractable, well, we know it works right?

- [Jimmy] Glad to help.

- [Dabio] Ha ha ha, we have tigers Donita.

- [Donita] Yes Dabio, yes we do, and I quite like this place too.

Oh yes, this is quite my style.

Dabio, get the satellite feed ready.

Get my things.

I will announce my new tiger line from this very spot.

When I'm through, everyone will be wearing Tiger Stripes!

(laughter) - [Martin] Okay, now's our chance to learn from the master.

- [Chris] Look at that.

She moves so fluidly and silently through the forest.

We need to move like a tiger, quiet and controlled.

- [Martin] Oh check it out, all senses firing, nothing gets past her.

We need to use all our senses like a tiger.

That's weird, she's sniffing, but I don't smell a thing out here.

- [Chris] Well tigers have a much better sense of smell than we do.

- [Martin] Uh, do you think she smells something?

- [Chris] Well, there's your answer, a sambar.

That sambar's senses are firing too and he's on alert.

- [Martin] Uh oh, little does he know, there's a tiger stalking nearby.

- [Chris] Amazing!

Her knowledge of the forest is incredible.

We need to think like a tiger.

- [Martin] And sometimes, sit quietly and watch like a tiger.

With that awesome camouflage, the tiger is able to wait until she's really close.

- [Chris] Before she - [Chris And Martin] Whoaa!

Look out!

- [Both] Ooof!!

- [Martin] Ah, they're gone!

What happened?

- [Chris] I don't know bro, but I know one thing.

That was an awesome lesson in creature sense.

- [Martin] No kidding.

(gasps) Chris look!

I bet she's heading back to the den.

Come on!

Got to be the tiger!

- [Chris] Huh, Martin did you hear that?

- [Martin] Huh, yeah, nice one, Chris.

Over there!

- [Chris] Good spot Martin, something is in there.

Camo, what are you doing here?

Martin, do you realize what we just did?

- [Martin] Yeah, our creature sense, I think it's coming back.

- [Chris] And my creature sense is telling me something is still wrong here.

- [Martin] Queen Stealth, she's leaving!

- [Chris] Come on Camo, let's follow your mom.

- [Donita] Tiger cub shawl, pose it, tiger cub hat.

Huh?

Mannequins, pose Beam!

Well done, now bring her here.

- [Martin] We were right!

- [Chris] Oh yeah, we definitely have our creature sense back.

- [Martin] But now, we have to get Camo's mom back.

- [Chris] She helped us, now it's our turn to help her.

- [Donita] Oooo, I like this.

Tiger stripes are all the rage.

I'm ready for my close-up Dabio!

- [Dabio] Yes, okay Donita, ready.

- [Donita] Hello fans!

It's me Donita Donata coming from India with the latest in animal fashion.

This year is all about stripes, tiger stripes!

- [Chris] Seriously?

We got to stop her.

- [Martin] But we need a way to get past all those mannequins.

- [Chris And Martin] Ah!

- [Koki] They're supposed to be around here.

- [Chris] Hi!

- [Aviva And Koki] Ahhh!

- [Chris] We're back.

- [Martin] To our old selves.

- [Aviva] I can see that, here!

- [Martin] Wow, thanks Aviva!!!

- [Chris] And just in time.

- [Chris And Martin] Insert tiger power disc.

Touch tiger.

And activate Bengal Tiger Power!!!!

- [Chris] Awesome.

- [Martin] Yeah.

- [Chris] Now this is cool!

The keen senses, the strong athletic body.

- [Martin] The stealth, the camouflage, it's got it all!

- [Chris] Now all we need is a plan.

- [Donita] Ah yes it's the season of stripes.

Hats, shawls, rugs all in tiger stripes.

Be sure to pre-order now!

- [Dabio] And got it Donita.

- [Donita] Good.

Now we need to collect as many tigers as we can Dabio.

See that mannequin?

You can send it out to catch some.

- [Dabio] Yeah, catch tigers.

You mannequin, go get, uh it's gone Donita.

- [Donita] No it was just there.

Fine, send that then.

- [Dabio] Okay, right away Donita.

It's gone too Donita.

- [Donita] What, where are they going?

(growls) That's it, mannequins come.

All right, Kratt Brothers.

I know you're out there somewhere.

I just can't see you.

Show yourselves!

Pose Beam!!

Ha, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist my hat.

Now where is that green brother of yours?

- [Martin] Donita you can't do this to tigers.

They're one of the most beautiful wildcats on the planet.

- [Donita] Exactly darling.

- [Martin] No, those stripes aren't for you to use to make you feel important, they're for camouflage, one of the tiger's keys to survival.

Umm Donita?

Did you know that every tiger's stripes are a slightly different pattern?

- [Dabio] Oooh its true .

- [Donita] That's marvelous.

No two items in my fashion line will be the same!

- [Koki] Don't worry Camo.

Let the Kratt Brothers handle this.

- [Donita] Every one will be unique!

There!

Get him!

- [Chris] Bring it on Donita.

Tiger power is not just camouflage and stealth but speed and agility too!

And strength!

- [Donita] Don't let him reach my Pose Orb!

- [Chris] Got to do it for the tigers!

Tiger Power!!!!

- [Martin] Finally free!

Step aside, I'll take those cubs Donita!

You've got bigger problems.

- [Donita] Uh-oh.

(screaming) - [Aviva] Need a different ride?

- [Donita] You can have your Bengal tigers.

- [Dabio] Oof.

- [Donita] Stripes are so yesterday!

- [Martin] Back to mama.

- [Chris] Well, we did it.

The tigers are safe, living free and in the wild.

- [Martin] And we got our creature sense back!

Ooh and it may be sharper than ever thanks to her.

- [Chris] I'd say that's a Creature Mission accomplished.

- [Both] Shhhh, the bushes.

- [Aviva] What?

- [Koki] There's nothing there!

- [Martin] Brad!

- [Chris] We couldn't leave without him.

- [Martin] You'll never know when we'll need him on another creature adventure.

He helped us figure out the awesome powers of the Bengal tiger.

- [Chris] So the tiger is one impressive big cat.

- [Martin] No doubt about it.

The only other big cat that matches up in terms of size and power is the mighty lion.

- [Chris] Right and we've been creature adventuring with both.

So how do they compare?

The tiger.

- [Martin] And the lion.

So the biggest lions are males.

A male lion in his prime can get up to be 9 feet long and weigh up to 500 pounds.

- [Chris] So how does a lion stack up against a big male Bengal tiger?

If you compare Bengal tigers to lions, they're about the same size.

But the Bengal tiger's cousin, the Siberian tiger, is the largest cat in the world.

- [Martin] The lifestyle of these cats is very different.

Lions are social.

- [Chris] Tigers are solitary.

- [Martin] Lions live in prides.

The pride is a unique family group made up of females, offspring and one or two males.

- [Chris] So lions in Africa live in groups, but here in India, tigers have a different lifestyle.

Oh yeah, a mother tiger and two cubs.

Unlike lions who live in prides, tigers live alone.

Except in the case of a mother with her cubs.

These cubs look like they're about four months old and boy, are they playful.

Play is so important to young tigers.

It helps them practice their hunting skills before they go out on their own.

This mother tiger has a radio collar on her because scientists are studying everything they can about these endangered cats and how we can help them.

(growls) She's calling for her cubs.

Making sure they follow her because they don't want to run into a big male tiger.

There they go.

- [Martin] So lions and tigers have their differences, but both are impressive big cats with incredible creature power.

- [Chris] You know, I think I'm more of a tiger guy.

- [Martin] Oh yeah?

I kind of like lions better.

- [Chris] Keep on creature adventuring.

- [Martin] We'll see you on the creature trail.

(upbeat music) - [Chris] To find out more about cool animals.

- [Martin] And collect your own Wild Kratts creature powers.

- [Chris] Go to the Wild Kratts website.

- [Martin] At pbskids.org.

- [Chris And Martin] We'll see you there.
