♪ Chris: We're here in North America.

Winter's on its way, so it's a good time to look for some warm and fuzzy creatures.

Martin: It's us the Kratt Brothers!

I'm Martin-- Chris: --I'm Chris!

And we're looking for two kinds of animals, that people love to have around.

Martin: We're looking for dogs-- Chris: --and cats.

Martin: Hey, we gotta checkout this barn here.

(dog barking) Puppies!

Chris: Kittens!

Cat: (meow) Cats love to climb just like me.

They climb fences, they climb trees, and it's those sharp claws that help them do it.

Climbing is one of the amazing powers of pet cats and wild cats.

Like leopards.

Leopards are master big cat climbers.

They can easily climb tall trees in seconds.

And once they're up there, it's time to chill.

I think I'm a cat person.

Martin: Oh yeah, cats are cool, but what about dogs?

Hey, hey, hey guys, all right we got a little pack of puppies!

Oh yeah, the thing I love about dogs is they love to be together as a group.

That's the basis of the pack.

Dogs are canids like wolves and they depend on the pack for protection and comfort.

These puppies love to hang-out with each other.

I'm definitely a dog person.

C'mon!

Chris: Imagine if I had cat powers.

Martin: Oh, imagine if I had dog powers.

Martin/Chris: What if?

Look out!

(stomps) Phew!

Martin: Whoa-- Martin/Chris: A pet kitty?

Martin: Oh no, someone's pet kitty got lost on the African savanna.

Aviva: How did a pet kitty get way out here?

Chris: Yeah.

We're in the wilderness really far from the nearest town.

Martin: Living lost and in the wild.

She's so cute and small and vulnerable.

Chris: She'll never survive out here.

We've gotta help her.

Time for a creature rescue.

Martin: You mean... A pet kitty rescue.

(laughter) Drive close Chris and I'll reach out and grab her.

Um-- Uh-oh.

Remember that rhino?

Chris: Yeah.

Martin: Well here she comes!

Martin/Chris: Whoa!!

Aaah!

Uaaah!

Oof!

Martin: Why are you stopping?

(crunch) Reverse!

Oooh!

There go the tires.

Koki: There goes the engine.

It's totally destroyed!

Martin: Oh, sorry Koki.

Chris: Our Createrra VX couldn't cut it!

Uh--.

Martin: Hey, how can a little pet kitty like you survive out here?

Chris: Wait a second.

Longer legs than a house cat and a more muscular body.

Martin: And that stripe pattern, that's not your everyday tabby.

Chris: Much fewer stripes, mostly on the legs and tail.

Those are the markings of a wild species.

This isn't a pet cat, it's-- Martin/Chris: The African wild cat!

Chris: And this wild cat can survive out here.

Martin: Better than us Wild Kratts!

You might not be a pet, but even a wild kitty still needs a name.

Being a small cat in a big dangerous savanna, you've got to have your wits about you.

Wits!

Witty!

That's it!

Witty the Wild Kitty!

Witty: (growls) Martin: What's up?

Chris: A jackal, a wild dog.

Classic defensive behaviour.

Puff up and stand sideways to look bigger.

Martin: But the jackal isn't fooled... Dog chases cat.

Classic dog behaviour.

Chris: Whoa, did you see that cat climb?

Classic cat behavior.

Martin: Did you see the dog not climb?

Classic dog behavior.

Jimmy Z: Uh guys, we're getting cat and dog questions.

Lots!

Koki!

Koki: Did you see the Createrra?

I've gotta fix it, you take the questions.

Jimmy Z: But we're getting flooded!

Aviva: I'll help.

Whoa!

Kids really love cats and dogs.

Let's dig into it.

Nina: Why do dogs chase cats?

Aviva: Hmhmhm?

Javier: How come dogs can't climb?

Jimmy Z: Errrrrr?

Aviva: Bros you getting this?

Lots of cat and dog questions.

Steven: Do cats always land on their feet?

Scarlett: Why does my dog stick his tongue out when it's hot outside?

Yi: Do all cats purr?

Leo: Do you like cats better?

Audrey: Or dogs?

Martin: Well I guess I'm more of a dog person.

Chris: And me, a cat person.

Leo: Like that jackal, our dog chases our cat but-- Do cats ever chase dogs?

Chris: Uh-- I think this caracal might answer that.

Big dogs chase small cats, but when the cat is close to the size of the dog-- Cat chases dog!

Scarlett: Whoa, cats chase dogs too?!

Martin: Yup.

Yi: A jackal is a dog?

Chris: Sure is.

Audrey: Why does my dog love me so much?

Martin: Dogs are pack animals who like to show affection to their friends.

Yi: Why does my cat act so cool?

Chris: Cats are pretty independent, so they seem confident and cool.

Martin: These are great questions.

We have so much to learn about cats and dogs.

♪ (suspenseful music) ♪ Zach: Hmmm, those little kiddies are so into cats and dogs.

What if I capture all the wild ones in the world and sell them as special pets?

Everybody will buy one or two (gasps) or even three of each.

I'll make zillion's of dollars!

(evil laughter) Time to set some traps.

Koki: Totally wrecked, so many repairs!

Gotta fix it, gotta fix it.

Aviva: Dog chases cat, cat chases dog.

Maybe the wild cat, wild dog relationship isn't as simple as we thought.

Chris: Sounds like we've got some creature adventuring to do!

But first, here's a simple creature quiz.

Who do you like best?

Cats?

Martin: Or dogs?

I'm definitely a dog dude.

Aviva: Do you mean wild dogs and cats?

Or pet dogs and cats?

Martin: Uh, are we the Wild Kratts or the Pet Kratts?

Wild of course!

Chris: Although the pet ones have a lot in common with the wild ones.

Martin: Yeah well, you can definitely like both, but which do you like better?

Even if it's just a little better.

Dogs?

Chris: Or cats?

Jimmy Z: Uhh, I don't know.

Martin: Who do you like?

Koki: Ughh, are foxes wild dogs?

Martin: Well, like dogs they are members of the canid family, so what we're calling wild dogs today are canids.

Chris: So that's dogs, jackals and foxes.

Koki: Well, I love foxes so I guess then I'm a dog person.

Aviva: Okay, so it looks like Koki and foxes are on Team Dog.

Chris: What about you Aviva?

Aviva: Well, I do like tigers.

The cubs are soooo cute and the mom's so beautiful and powerful.

Jimmy Z: Ooh, and I like those little dogs that gang up and chase the tigers.

Aviva: Hey, that's not fair, so maybe I am a cat person?

Martin: Yeah those little Indian wild dogs called dholes will team up to chase one of the biggest cats.

Jimmy Z: Yeah, I like dholes and coyotes too!

So I'm down with dogs.

Aviva: Hmmm, I can't decide.

This is a big decision.

I have to learn more.

Martin: Well then let's get adventuring, and find some more wild cats and wild dogs.

C'mon!

Zach: Okay Zachbots, you know what to do.

Operation Dog and Cat Capture unleashed.

(evil laughter) ♪ (suspenseful music) ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ (energetic music) ♪ Ready.

Good catch!

(evil laughter) Martin: How about this, whatever we find first, a new dog or a new cat, is what we adventure with today.

Chris: Okay, you're on!

Martin: Hmmm-- Who could it be?

Yes!

It's dogs!

Chris: Oh no!

Martin: African wild dogs!

A whole pack.

(laughter) That's why I love wild dogs.

They run in a big pack.

They have fun together.

C'mon let's hop in the Createrra.

Jimmy Z: Uhh, you really wrecked it, remember?

Chris: Right.

Martin: Oh yeah.

Koki: (honking) But I-- Fixed it!

Aviva: How did you fix it so fast?

Koki: Repair power.

Martin: Way to go!

Let the wild dog adventure begin.

Chris: Huh?

Caracal!

What a catch.

You can't ignore the spectacular leaping ability of cats.

Cats jump higher than dogs.

Martin: C'mon Chris, we gotta go!

The pack is taking off.

Chris: Oh, but this caracal just caught a bird out of mid-air.

Martin: Cool cat, but it's a dog day today.

Chris: Aw, catch ya later caracal.

Hey wait up!

Aviva: It's really hot out here.

Martin: Sure is, but these dogs know how to cool off after a long run in the savanna sun.

They pant.

See they stick their tongues out to release the heat and cool their body temperature.

Plus with a drink from the watering hole, it's a great way for them to beat the heat.

African wild dogs are so great.

Aviva, I really, really need an African wild dog power suit.

Aviva: I've got my mobile invention kit all set-up, and I'm getting a jump start from past canid power suit programming, like coyote, Arctic wolf and dhole.

I'm using what we've learned canids have in common.

One: sensitive nose with great sense of smell, like the dingo.

Two: Claws for gripping and digging, like the bat eared fox.

Three: Good endurance running ability, like the gray wolf.

Four: Vocalizations like the Arctic wolf.

And five: Togetherness and a real team spirit, just like the dhole.

In other words, pack behavior.

Martin: And we've got a pack of 12 African wild dogs here.

Koki: So, what's original about the wild dogs?

Martin: Well the amazing patterns for one.

Swirl, patches, swishes.

It's like splashes of paint.

That's why African wild dogs are also called-- Chris: (panting) Panting dogs!

Martin: (chuckles) No, not panting dogs.

Chris: I said painted dogs!

Martin: Yeah!

Painted dogs.

Because their patterns look painted on, each one unique.

Oh, and they're going swimming!

Uh-oh!

Don't wash the paint off!

(laughter) Dogs are playful swimmers.

Oh, this swimming bro definitely likes dogs.

Chris: Whoa, that dog found a croc.

Crocodile: (hisses) Martin: That's how wild dogs deal with predator and prey, as a team.

Chris: They come in at all different angles.

Dogs: (growling) Martin: Look out!

Chris: Even a huge croc can't defend teeth coming in from every direction.

Martin: Alone, a dog is one set of teeth, but as a pack, they can be twelve.

Chris: Gotta admit, African wild dogs, aka painted dogs, are awesome!

Zach: Wait, what?

Painting dogs?

(gasps) Dogs that can paint.

Everyone will want one!

I'll sell them for so much money!

(evil laughter) Aviva: These African wild dogs are so inspiring.

I just need to add some African wild dog fur to get those unique wild dog instincts and cool fur patterns, and-- African wild dog power programming complete!

This could be fun.

Koki: Martin as a puppysitter?

I gotta deactivate.

I gotta admit, you dogs have incredible running power.

Zach: Nicely done, Chris.

Those pricey dogs are standing on my net.

All I have to do is drop my hand and my Zachbot will pull the net.

Oh-ho!

Zach: I do not like big cats.

Chris: Uh Zach, I don't think those wild dogs are too happy with you trying to trap them.

Chris: A lone wild dog is no match for a leopard, but together-- Dogs: (growling) Leopard: (growls) Chris: Dog chases cat.

Martin: That's dog power!

Chris: Classic cat escape-- climb a tree.

Cats have sharp claws, so cats can climb, but dogs have dull claws.

Great for traction on those long distant runs, but no good for climbing.

I love climbing, so I'm still a cat person.

Time for some wild cat action.

You're safe now.

Chris: Going back for more.

Chris: Grab with the forepaws.

Martin: Rake with hind claws.

Now, let's get Witty and Batsox.

Zach: Not so fast!

You might be able to battle my big bots, but what are you gonna do about my mini-Zachbot disruptor editions, that are entering your creature power vests?

Chris/Martin: (gasp!)

Chris: What?

Martin: Oh no!

Zach: (evil laughter) Tapping into past activations to create-- (whirring) Martin/Chris: A creature power suit malfunction!

(zap) Chris: I'm a dog!

Martin: Hey, you're connected to my cat body.

Both: (struggling) Ooof!

Chris: Grrrrrrr!

Martin: Hissssss!

Both: (barking and hissing) Zach: (evil laughter) Your love of wild cats and wild dogs is gonna be your downfall!

Literally!

(evil laughter) Martin: Aaaahhh - meooowwrrr!

Meooowwrrr!

Chris: Martin, what do you have in your pockets?

Martin: Miniaturizer.

Chris: The Miniaturizer won't break our fall.

Martin: I know, but that's what I have in... Martin/Chris: Whoaah!

(meowing/woofing) Both: Deactivate.

Whooaaa!

Oof!

(splash) Chris: He's getting away!

Martin: He has Witty, Batsox and so many others.

Chris: We need cat powers back.

Martin: Yeah, but look!

Any activation we do now will malfunction.

Chris: But an actual cat's powers won't.

Martin: And cats are curious.

Chris: The Miniaturizer is set to big size.

Martin: Well you know what they say-- Curiosity big-sized the cat!

Aviva: Whoa!

Chris: Let's get on.

Got the Miniaturizer.

We might not have leaping powers.

Martin: But Megafang does.

Whoaaaa!

(wham!)

Zach: Drive smoother!

Aaaaahhhh--a giant eyeball!

Chris: Not any eyeball.

A cat eyeball.

One of the most amazing eyes in the creature world!

Martin: Oh and by the way, a giant cat has some pretty amazing hang time.

Chris: But now we're going down!

Martin: Hang onnnnnnnnnn!

Aviva: Oh no, they're going to crash!

Chris/Martin: Uaaaaah!

Chris: Don't worry, cats have other creature powers.

Martin: Cats can really twist.

Uaaaah!

(bam!)

(ka-bam!)

Martin/Chris: A cat always lands on his feet.

Aviva: This kitten is just having fun.

Zach: Aaaaahhh!

I'm not.

Uha-haa!

Forget it!

I don't like small cats, I don't like ginormous cats, or any cats in between!

(sobbing) Martin: Aw, don't worry, he ends up saying that about all our animal friends.

Chris: And what we always say is wild cats and dogs belong living free and in the wild.

Martin: Uh huh.

(laughter) Chris: Now Megafang's teeth are really mega.

Megafang: (purring) Martin: He's purring, louder than ever now.

(chuckles) Megafang: (purring) Martin: It's a Purr-quake!

Chris: Let's get him back to normal size.

Super miniaturize!

Martin/Chris: Whew.

Martin: Way to go Megafang.

Aviva: What about the rest of the wild cats and wild dogs?

Martin/Chris/Aviva: To the creature rescue!

♪ (upbeat music) ♪ ♪ ♪ Aviva: Un-pose beam!

(zap) Martin: Now let's get all you cats and dogs back to your natural habitats.

Aviva: First stop, Sahara.

Katie: Why do sand cat and fennec foxes have such big ears?

Martin: Well the sand cat, Chris: --and the fennec fox-- Martin: Both live here in the desert where it's hot hot hot!

Chris: The big ears let body heat escape their bodies, so this fox-- Martin: --and this cat, can cool off.

Chris: Fennec fox and sand cat, living free and in the desert.

Aviva: Next stop, African savanna.

Koki: Here's your mom.

Cats: (purring) All: Awwww!

Sani: Hey Wild Kratts, why does the African wild cat look so much like my pet cat?

Chris: The amazing answer is that most pet cats are actually descendants of-- the African wild cat.

Sani: Cool!

Martin: What is it Batsox?

Koki: What are they doing?

Chris: Of course!

Bat-eared foxes mate for life.

Both parents take care of the kits.

Aviva: That's amazing.

Hmmm.

Kittens: (mewing) Aviva: Attention everyone!

I have an announcement to make.

I've made my decision on cats and dogs.

I have decided that-- I don't have to decide!

I love cats and dogs equally!

(laughter) Martin/Chris/Koki/Jimmy Z: Yay!

Jimmy Z: That's right.

Koki: Why pick just one?

Chris: When there are so many!

Amazon bush dog, ocelot, tiger-- Martin: --coyote, margay, bobcat.

Chris: Just some of the 41 species of wild cats.

Martin: And 37 species of wild dogs and foxes in the creature world.

Chris: Living free and in the wild!

Martin: That's where they all belong.

So, I guess now I'm a cat person.

Chris: And now I'm a dog person.

Martin: Oh yeah, there's so much to learn about these amazing groups of animals.

Cats--.

Chris: --and dogs.

Martin: Now, you know all those wild cats and wild dogs we saw, they've got so much in common with our pet cats and dogs.

Chris: And they have similar powers and behaviours of their wild cousins.

You know how your dog likes to dig?

That's a wild behaviour that comes straight from wolves.

It's called food caching.

They'll dig a hole, put the food inside and then cover it up, saving it for later and protecting it from other animals.

Martin: Dogs have an amazing sense of smell.

That nose helps them find whatever they bury.

A dog's sense of smell can be thousands of times greater than a human's.

And wild canids, like wolves, have an even stronger sense of smell.

That's one of the coolest things about the dog family.

Chris: And you know your pet cat has a lot more in common with wild cats then you'd think.

Check it out.

See this playful wrestling match?

Kittens love to play, just like these tiger cubs who are practicing their hunting skills.

Let's see a replay.

It's the same technique.

Feline take down.

(chuckles) You can really think of your pet cat like a miniature tiger or lion.

See, they even groom themselves the same way.

Martin: Now, around the farm, dogs will usually chase cats and sometimes it can be just for fun.

Dogs and cats can be great friends and play together, and cuddle together.

Or just hang out and be buddies.

You're a little bigger than this kitten.

Puppies and kittens, doesn't get much cuter than that.

Cats and dogs have amazing creature powers.

Chris: You can see it in your pets every day.

Martin: So, let's keep on creature adventuring.

Chris: We'll see you on the creature trail!
