KRATT BROTHERS: Hello, sea otters!
Aww... sea otters!
Yep!
The heaviest member of the weasel family.
But the smallest marine mammal.
And they can live their entire lives at sea, so they are master swimmers.
CHRIS: Over here!
I found Coach!
(Laughing) Hey, girl.
It'’’s good to see you.
Hi, Coach.
Hey, Coach!
I named her that because she showed me a few new swimming moves too.
Hey, we have a friend up there who needs to take his swimming to the next level and we thought of you.
Can you help him out?
Uh... guys?
I don'’’t know... She looks a little busy right now.
(Laughing) I think she'’’ll do it, Jimmy!
Oh, great... Who else can say that they had a sea otter for a swim coach?
Hey!
Where you going?
She'’’ll be back.
AVIVA: Aww, que lindo!
Who is this?
Coach, you have a baby!
Congratulations!
A little four-week-old sea otter pup!
All right, Jimmy!
You have someone to learn with.
This little guy'’’s learning to swim too.
Hmmm...
I'’’ll name you... Cork!
Yeah, Cork!
Because as they learn to swim, a baby sea otter is a fluffy little puffball that floats like a cork!
(Laughing) Yeah, problem is, I sink... like a stone.
Why do some things float and some things sink anyway?
It depends partly on how light the object is compared to its size.
See, this stone and this cork are the same size, but the cork is light for its size and the stone is heavy for its size.
So the stone sinks.
And the cork floats.
(Laughing) JIMMY Z: Now there are two floating corks!
Yup.
You can start off with this life jacket.
It'’’s so light and airy that you end up bigger and lighter for your size.
Now you won'’’t have to worry about sinking while you practice swimming.
Okay, Cork.
I guess I'’’m in your swim class.
