♪ Wild Kratts ♪ Hey, we'’’re the Kratt brothers!

I'’’m Martin.

And I'’’m Chris!

And these are rhinos!

Famous for that prehistoric look.

The tough armor-like skin, and that amazing horn.

That horn, and the weight behind it.

If you had that charging at you, Not many creatures want to mess with a rhino!

The third-largest land animal in the world!

Oh, and check out that horn!

It'’’s made of a special substance called keratin.

The same stuff our fingernails are made of!

And our hair!

But in a rhino, it'’’s woven together to make a very light horn.

But when the rhino smoothes it out on the rocks, it looks like, and is, a pretty awesome weapon!

Rhinos are near-sighted.

That means they can see things pretty well close up, but anything far away is a little blurry.

And if they don'’’t know what something is, they get nervous and that is when they charge!

Rhinos have a special relationship with a bird that gives a warning call whenever danger'’’s near.

The bird is called an oxpecker, and it hangs out on top of the rhino!

The oxpecker picks ticks and parasites out of the rhino'’’s ears and off its skin, getting a meal and cleaning up the rhino.

Everyone gets something out of the relationship.

And that kind of relationship is called a symbiotic relationship.

Creature teamwork!

The rhino'’’s horn, its impressive size and its charging power make the rhino one of the most impressive animals on earth!

Imagine if we had the creature powers of the rhino.

BOTH: What if?

Ah, ooh, ah!

I am so stoked we found those missing rhinos.

Yeah, me too!

But the Createrra took a beating!

You can'’’t jump a 20 foot ravine when we'’’re still in truck mode, bro.

Hey, a charging hippo doesn'’’t change modes, dude.

I was going hippopotamus!

Hmm, just pass me the oil cap.

I don'’’t think an equatorial land snail is going to work.

(Laughing) (Growling off-screen) Whoa!

(Coughing) What'’’s going on with that black rhino?

I don'’’t know, but we'’’ve got to find out!

Aviva, come in!

Something strange happened to a black rhino in the Serengeti!

I'’’ll teleport you something that will give you a bird'’’s eye view of the situation.

Voila, a collapsible hang-glider.

Too slow!

I got it!

Show-off.

Whoo-hoo!

Let'’’s go, bro.

We'’’ve got a creature mystery to solve!

More rhinos!

Maybe we'’’ll find clues!

Back up, Martin!

Black rhinos are the most ready-to-charge rhinos in the world!

Relax!

If we don'’’t move, she can hardly see us.

Poor eyesight, remember?

(Snorting) Shh!

But the nose and ears are super-sensitive.

That rhino will charge if we sound, or even smell like a threat.

I took a shower, did you?

Shh!

How about cleaning those ears?

Oh!

I mean, the oxpeckers!

Crawling right into the rhino'’’s ears.

Picking ticks like flying Q-Tips.

The rhinos get their ears cleaned.

The birds get a meal!

Both get something out of the deal!

It'’’s an amazing symbiotic relationship.

Oh, yeah?

I think the coolest part is that the rhino can chill out and eat, '’’cause the oxpecker will sound the danger alarm.

Dude, you got me on that one!

(Screeching) Uh, did we just set off the rhino alarm?

Yup, we set it off!

Whoa!

Whoa!

(Crashing) (Laughing) Did you see that?

See it?

I felt it!

Ouch!

No, I mean the oxpeckers hung on even when the rhino charges.

Now, that'’’s the coolest thing!

I win!

Okay, you got me.

But what I don'’’t get is who would want to mess with the third-heaviest land mammal on the planet?

And take on that charge?

(Roaring) So, that'’’s who the rhino was going for!

We were just in the way.

They'’’re after the calf!

(Snarling) Amazing, that'’’s a 3000 pound mega-mammal with some fancy footwork!

I'’’ve heard of tossed salad, but tossed lions?

Incoming!

(Roaring) Ooh, that horn is a serious weapon!

Rhino'’’s defense is awesome!

Huh?

(Rumbling) Whoa!

Oh, no!

I just tuned it up!

I like it!

It gives it character.

You know, that made no sense.

Black rhinos are solitary.

They'’’d never stampede in a huge herd.

It'’’s unnatural.

(Baby squeaking) Hey, are you okay?

Oh, look at that little nub of a horn you'’’ve got!

I'’’m going to call you Nubs!

Oh, but there'’’s no way your mom would leave you behind, little buddy!

(Squeaking) Or not come charging towards the lost call.

Something'’’s very wrong here.

Poachers?

I don'’’t know, but we'’’re going to find out.

Let'’’s track them!

Uh-oh, don'’’t look now, Chris!

But someone'’’s tracking us!

(Snarling) They know there'’’s no mom to protect him.

We'’’ve got to get Nubs out of here fast!

I think I'’’ll stick around.

Something about that rhino stampede just didn'’’t seem right.

I got you, Nubs!

Whoa!

Ahh-- ugh!

Createrra, don'’’t fail us now!

Later, lions!

Dude, what are you doing up there?

Getting a bird'’’s eye view!

I'’’ll take Nubs to safety, and be right back!

CHRIS: Don'’’t get distracted and forget about me!

Oh, don'’’t worry!

I won'’’t leave you hanging!

He always finds a way to hang out with a baby animal.

A flock of oxpecker birds means a herd of some kind of creature is nearby!

Rhinos!

What is going on?

Got to check this out!

Martin, Chris here!

I'’’m definitely onto something.

I'’’ll keep you posted, over and out!

(Engine whirring) No rhinos are taking off on my watch!

Ugh!

Whoa!

Hey, guys!

I'’’ve got Nubs, a baby rhino!

Isn'’’t he adorable?

Nubs is a perfect name!

I thought you'’’d like him!

I saved him from a bunch of lions.

Teeth, claws, the works!

What'’’s going on with the disappearing rhinos?

Oh, you know Chris.

He'’’s all over it.

With this little pumpkin in the HQ, I can add some incredible rhino-inspired features into the Creature Power suits!

There you go, sweetie.

I'’’m just going to scan your skeleton.

Keep him distracted, M.K.

(Giggling) I didn'’’t say scare him!

(Laughing) Chains?

What kind of wildlife ranger is that?

(Laughing off-screen) MARTIN: Hey, want to hear me snort like a rhino?

Blargh!

I should have known!

It'’’s another Zach attack on creatures!

Knock it off, Martin!

Zach can see you.

He'’’s spying on us!

Green Guy!

Glad you could stop by!

And guess what?

Your silly little Creature Pod doesn'’’t work anymore!

So, the blue boy can'’’t hear you!

Oh, too bad!

(Laughing) Uh-oh!

Hi!

(Laughing) Okay, I'’’ve got Nubsie all decoded.

As soon as I have the program done, you and Chris can try out your rhino-inspired suits.

Chris!

What am I doing?

I'’’ve been here forever!

I got to get back to Chris!

Dude, it'’’s me!

I'’’m on my way!

Stay where you are, bro!

It was just a park ranger vaccinating rhinos.

He already took care of the rhino calf.

Keep it as long as you want, and have Aviva work on the disk for the Creature Power suit.

Toodles!

Huh?

"Toodles"?

Chris can be such a geek!

But something about him didn'’’t seem right.

M.K., I'’’ve got it!

Get over here!

Everyone has a bulldozer, but I have a rhino-dozer!

(Laughing) Now with Blue Boy distracted, I can finish building my rhino-dozers.

Rhino-dozers?

My greatest invention ever!

With 3000 pounds of strength, I can dig up trees and flatten things!

So, I can build a parking lot!

Leave the rhinos alone, Zach!

They'’’re seriously endangered.

They belong living free and in the wild!

Not this week!

And you Wild Ratts are going to help me.

And because I know Aviva, I knew the little rhino would inspire her to work on the Creature Power suit, and then reveal the charge code that I need for my rhino-dozers!

I gave the little rhino a contact lens with a camera feature so I can see everything going on in your headquarters.

I found the charge code!

Ready for testing!

Yes!

Told ya!

No!

Let'’’s try a rhino horn.

It'’’s working!

Oh!

Heavy!

(Laughing) Oh, that'’’s not what I want to watch!

Stop acting goofy, Blue Boy!

That'’’s my bro!

Ugh!

Sorry, M.K.

Hold still while I recalibrate the horn density.

Like I have a choice!

All right, here'’’s the DNA code that controls horn growth and their strong charge impulse.

ZACH: Pause!

Capture!

That'’’s it!

Now I have what I need for the rhino charge impulse!

I chose the black rhino for their lack of brains!

They'’’ll charge at anything, even trees!

Lay off, Zach!

It'’’s because they have poor eyesight.

Dumbness!

Poor eyesight!

Whatever!

Now that Aviva has delivered the rhino charge code, I can control my rhino-dozers!

Ugh!

Relax, Green Guy.

The only thing that can break through those bars is-- uh, well, nothing!

(Laughing) Zach-bots!

Prepare the rhino-dozers to flatten the African savannah!

I'’’ll be back to deal with you later.

Nubs is feeling a little toasty.

You'’’re right!

How do you keep an overheated rhino cool?

I know!

Oh, rhinos love mud for 4 reasons, Aviva!

It cools them down, protects them from getting sunburned, and keeps flies away!

That'’’s 3.

And... yahoo!

And feels great!

You just can'’’t keep a rhino out of the mud.

(Laughing) Looks like you can'’’t keep a Martin out of it either.

(Laughing) Hey, Green Guy!

Still think I won'’’t get away with it?

Heh, heh, heh!

My rhino-dozers will flatten anything I want them to!

No way, Zach!

I might be locked up, but Martin'’’ll stop you!

Get off me, you pesky woodpeckers!

Try oxpeckers!

And they can'’’t help being attracted to parasites.

(Laughing) Think I'’’m funny, do you?

Me too!

But you won'’’t be laughing when I knock down the barn hiding your turtle ship.

You'’’ll never find it!

I already did!

The rhino'’’s contact lens also has a GPS feature to find your exact location!

Ha, ha!

Zach got your tongue?

Oh, goody!

We'’’ve arrived at the demolition location.

Time to destroy some nature!

Zach-bots!

Prepare the rhino-dozers!

Let'’’s get this parking lot started!

Hmm.

That'’’s it!

Oxpeckers are the key to my escape!

Ugh!

But first, I need a tick!

Heh, heh!

Okay, let'’’s see if this plan works.

Hey, oxpecker, hungry?

I'’’ve got a nice tasty tick for you!

Come on over!

Do it for the rhinos.

(Lock turning) Yeah!

Way to go, oxpecker!

I'’’ll pay you back by freeing the rhinos.

Nothing will stand in the way of my rhino-dozers!

All right, Nubsie!

If you ever get bored of us, here'’’s a totally awesome little creature for you to play with.

(Purring) Now we'’’ve got two orphans in our rescue center.

(Purring) It'’’s so great having Nubs here!

But I guess I really should get him back to his mom.

What'’’s this?

A contact lens?

Since when do you wear contact lenses?

I don'’’t!

Time for a little demonstration!

One flat barn coming up!

MARTIN: And why is it flashing red?

It'’’s got Zach Varmitech written all over it!

(Gasping) Oh, no!

That'’’s what was wrong!

Chris was wearing red!

He always wears green.

And he'’’d never tell me to keep the rhino for as long as I want.

That couldn'’’t have been him!

Wait a sec.

It also has a transmitter.

With a tracking device!

(Rumbling) Bye-bye, barn!

Charge!

Zach'’’s using the rhinos as bulldozers?

Yeah, and they'’’re charging straight for us!

Rhinos charge at 31 miles per hour, and at 3000 pounds per rhino, that'’’s a lot of force.

Enough to smash this hangar!

Oh, this is all my fault!

You were the bait all along, and I led Zach right to us!

It'’’s not over yet.

Koki, engage the emergency escape protocol.

Oh, no!

Hover power isn'’’t engaging!

Diverting all non-essential power to hover thrusters!

Yes!

I'’’ve got hover power!

Whee!

(Laughing) (Crashing) Chris, buddy!

Talk to me!

There he is!

Climb like you'’’ve never climbed before, Chris!

You can make it!

Excuse me!

Passing through!

Just keep those spiky horns steady!

Hey, Chris!

Care to dance?

Whoa, ugh!

Ahhhh!

Nice grab, Martin!

Zach'’’s going to run those rhinos into the ground.

We'’’ve got to stop him!

Look, I got us into this mess.

I'’’ve got to get us out.

Okay, I'’’m pretty sure there was a mud wallow around here.

I remember seeing it too!

It'’’s past the baobab tree, and then east of the water hole.

First, I'’’m going to need help from this lion cub!

Activate Creature Power suit!

Now, I need you to help me pull this off, Nubs.

To the creature rescue!

Yo, rhinos!

Look what I got!

That'’’s it.

Protective rhino instinct overriding Zach control!

Follow me!

So, that'’’s how you want to play?

I need your help now, Nubs.

(Squeaking) Yeah, not only will your mom respond to your call, but other rhinos will!

(Squeaking) Right on, Nubs!

You can'’’t stop me, Wild Ratt!

So give up now!

Huh?

Hurry!

The rhinos can'’’t take much more!

I got to get Zach'’’s remote!

Here'’’s some rhino power, Chris!

Hmm?

Yeah!

That was not good!

Rhino-dozers, charge!

Huh?

All right, bro!

They'’’re all yours.

(Roaring) Like I always say, you can'’’t keep a rhino out of the mud.

Let the rhinos roll!

Ahh!

Ugh, help!

I'’’m contaminated!

Somebody save me!

Ah-ah-ah!

Later, Zach!

Don'’’t come by anytime!

BOTH: Oh, yeah!

Saving the planet with Creature Power!

Oh, it sure was great having a baby rhino to hang out with.

(Sighing) Well, you'’’ll always have the rhino power suit to remind you of Nubs.

He'’’s with his mom where he belongs, and all the rhinos are back, living free and in the wild.

Hey, what were you thinking, bro?

I'’’d never tell you to keep a rhino calf back at the HQ!

I know!

And since when do I wear red shirts?

Yeah, I may have been a little distracted.

A little?

And you thought I'’’d say "Toodles"?

I'’’d never say "Toodles"!

I did think that was pretty dorky, even for you!

(Laughing) Symbiotic relationships are awesome!

Great examples of creature teamwork.

And the rhino and the oxpecker make a great team!

They each get something out of the relationship.

The rhino gets all the ticks and blood-sucking parasites picked off its body.

And the oxpecker gets a tasty meal and a good place to perch!

And from that place, the oxpecker also gives the rhino a warning system, sounding the alarm if any danger or predators approach!

There are all kinds of amazing symbiotic relationships all over the creature world.

One other great example of symbiotic relationships is under the sea.

The clownfish and the anemone.

The anemone is an amazing invertebrate with stinging tentacles, and the clownfish is the only fish that can swim safely through the anemone without getting stung.

So, the anemone gives the clownfish protection, and the clownfish brings the anemone little bits of food.

It'’’s a classic symbiotic relationship.

And maybe the most surprising symbiotic relationship we'’’ve ever seen was when we stumbled upon some warthogs that were hanging out with a group of banded mongoose.

The warthog was approaching really close to the mongoose.

We weren'’’t sure what was going to happen.

The warthog walked right up to the mongoose.

And they didn'’’t run!

And then, the warthog, he laid down!

The mongoose approached and started climbing on it!

They started nibbling his ear, picking ticks off the warthog'’’s body!

The mongoose were getting a meal, and the warthog was getting cleaned.

Now that was a really cool and bizarre symbiotic relationship.

These rhinos, the white rhinos, also live in groups, but they don'’’t always get along.

Oh, wow, cool!

But for the most part, a group of 10 white rhinos?

They graze pretty peacefully.

Hey, we have a symbiotic relationship here going!

We got to check out a cool creature, and the rhino gets scratched!

So, that'’’s the end of this episode!

Keep on creature adventuring!

We'’’ll see you on the creature trail!

See you later, bud!
