♪ Wild Kratts ♪ MARTIN: Hey, we’re in Africa!

Right off the coast of the main continent on a large island called Madagascar.

Up here in the central mountain highlands in a habitat called the Cloud Forest.

CHRIS: It’s us, the Kratt brothers!

I’m Chris!

I’m Martin!

Do you want to meet an animal species that science didn’t even know existed?

An animal that was first discovered in the 1980s?

Well that’s who we’re looking for!

♪ (Martin gasping) MARTIN: Red-fronted brown lemurs.

That’s the female.

Those are males with the white fur on their heads.

CHRIS: This species is a little more common than the extremely endangered lemurs we’re looking for.

To find this creature, we first have to find a bamboo grove.

Hey, check it out!

Bamboo!

MARTIN: This is where the mystery lemur we’re looking for will be hiding.

(Crunching) Do you hear that crunching sound?

Bamboo is hard and crunchy, and bamboo is what this animal eats.

MARTIN: Whoa!

There he is!

Oh, the golden bamboo lemur!

(Chirping) MARTIN: He’s out collecting breakfast: bamboo shoots.

Bamboo, of course, is the golden bamboo lemur’s favorite food.

Check out the color.

You can see how he got his name.

When the light hits his fur just right, it shines a golden color.

There are only about 1,000 left in the wild.

They’re very endangered.

They only live here, in this small forest.

Imagine if we could help the golden bamboo lemur survive.

WILD KRATTS: Wow!

The golden bamboo lemur.

One of the rarest animals on the planet.

Nobody even knew they existed until about 20 years ago.

Really?

Yeah.

And then a pair was found in 1986.

It was the discovery of a new species.

And they only live here in a small area of mountain rainforest.

And there are only 1,000 living in the wild.

And now 1,001.

Fine.

This golden lemur is more special than the monkey.

It will fit perfectly with the golden dress I’m wearing to the Golden Fashion Forward Awards!

Full speed to Madagascar!

Yes, Donita!

I deserve to be dressed in gold.

(Donita laughing maniacally) Oh, they are such a quiet lemur, so secretive, and that’s why for the longest time no-one even knew that they existed.

And check this out.

Millions of years ago, the continents looked a little different then they do today, with lemur ancestors living almost all over the world.

MARTIN: They lived together with monkeys on the continent of Africa.

But monkeys were smarter and more aggressive, and may have outcompeted them.

CHRIS: Eventually, some lemur ancestors made their way to the island of Madagascar.

Here, the lemur ancestors were free from monkeys and other predators, so they multiplied and evolved into the many different kinds of lemurs on Madagascar today.

Oh, I know what we could do.

(Laughing) What, Donita, what?

Get me my sewing kit and some furry material.

Yes, Donita!

MARTIN: And it’s amazing what they can eat.

Golden Bamboo lemurs crunch through bamboo.

CHRIS: And it’s not only really hard to chew, but bamboo has a poison called cyanide in it.

So how do they eat it?

Their stomachs and intestines can somehow handle the poison.

(Dabio screaming) (Wild Kratts gasping) (Screeching) Oh, monkey!

Monkey, monkey, monkey!

Ho, ho, ho!

Look at me!

Monkey!

What in the creature world is that?

I don’t know, but it sure doesn’t look natural.

That’s Dabio, in a monkey suit!

(Dabio chuckling) Dabio, what are you doing?

Uh... oh!

I’m distracting you.

While I am grabbing this!

(Wild Kratts gasping) (Laughing) And now I’ll give you a choice.

You can either rescue this one, or rescue all the lemurs in Madagascar.

MARTIN AND CHRIS: Huh?

What?

Dabio!

MARTIN AND CHRIS: Oh, no!

Don’t even think about it, Donita!

Even you couldn’t do that!

What are you going to do?

I heard what you said about how monkeys replaced lemurs throughout the world, and that is exactly what is now going to happen here!

I’m bringing monkeys to Madagascar.

These monkeys will multiply and drive all the lemurs to extinction, unless you stop it.

Spider monkeys to South America, and Proboscis monkeys to Indonesia.

All creatures should be living free and in the wild, where they belong.

CHRIS: Lemurs belong in Madagascar... forever.

PATRICIA: Bye, Wild Kratts!

Bamboo is a giant grass, and is an important part of the habitat of this Cloud Forest.

Bamboo are vital for the survival of the rare and endangered golden bamboo lemur.

But it takes a special technique to eat this tough grass.

See how he does it?

He bites it off with his sharp teeth.

That’s step number one.

Step number two: he breaks the bamboo.

He goes along the branch with his teeth, chewing, and then strips off that hard outer layer, exposing that tender stuff inside.

And then, he just munches on the tender stuff like a piece of celery.

The bamboo that these guys eat is full of cyanide, which is a type of poison.

But the golden bamboo lemur has a digestive system that can deal with the poison, and that’s one of their Creature Powers.

MARTIN: And that is so amazing, because the amount of cyanide a golden bamboo lemur eats in a single day is enough to kill 12 animals of the same size.

But the golden bamboo lemur survives.

Now, bamboo doesn’t look very tasty to me, but it’s such a good food for lemurs.

So good, that there are two other species of bamboo lemurs in this forest who depend on bamboo to survive.

The gentle bamboo lemur, the smallest, about the size of a large squirrel.

He eats thin, vine-y bamboo.

And the greater bamboo lemur.

This bamboo-eating species was once thought to be extinct, but then was rediscovered.

It’s the biggest bamboo lemur, and there are very few surviving today.

They eat a special part of the bamboo that other bamboo lemurs can’t get to.

CHRIS: They have the power in their jaws to chew through the big, thick woody stalks to get to the tender stuff inside.

But it’s tough work.
