04:52Arrgh!
04:52Arrgh!
04:52Arrgh!
04:53See, I bumped into our buddy Bumper down there
04:57Hey, Bumper!
04:58Oh, the sperm whale!
05:01Oh, and there's Bumper's mom!
05:05Arrgh!
05:06Arrgh!

05:15See you later, buddy!
05:16Thanks for the whale power!
05:19Okay, pirates!
05:21We gotta batten down the hatches!
05:22There's a big storm on the way!
05:24Look!
05:28Yikes!
05:29So come aboard now!
05:32Whoa!
05:33Aye, Cokie!
05:34She means aye-aye, Cokie!
05:36We'll do that!
05:37Oh, yeah!
05:38Aye-aye, Cokie!
05:40Let's go!
05:53That was the shell holding up, Cokie!
05:56I'll run a diagnostic!
06:00It's a good thing the Tortuga has a double-layer shell system with a shock-absorbing air vent
06:05core in between shells holding.
06:08Whoa!
06:10Woo-hoo!
06:12This storm is awesome!
06:14Look out!
06:15Whoa!
06:17Hover chairs on the high seas!
06:21Well, we made it!
06:25Woo!
06:26The calm after the storm!
06:28Hey!
06:29What's that?
06:32Weird!
06:34It's like a round raft thing!
06:36Wait!
06:38Someone's inside!
06:40What is it?
06:41A castaway?
06:42Someone lost at sea?
06:44Hello!
06:46Hello!
06:46A creature who definitely doesn't belong there!
06:50We've got to save him!
06:53Come here, little guy!
06:55I've got you!
06:58Whoever you are, you'll be safe here with us!
07:05Hey!
07:07Okay, no offense, but that is the weirdest-looking creature I've ever seen!
07:12Like, I want to hug him, Weird!
07:14Like Alien Weird!
07:16What is he?
07:18What do you think?
07:21It looks like some kind of strange squirrel to me!
07:26I mean, look at those teeth!
07:29I think it might even be some kind of flightless bat!
07:32So, Jimmy, what about you?
07:34I think he might be an alien that arrived in a strange round spaceship!
07:42Or a goblin!
07:44Goblin!
07:46He does kind of look like a goblin, actually!
07:50And that's what I'm going to name him!
07:52Goblin!
07:52You like that?
07:54So, what is he, guys?
07:56What do you think, Bart?
07:57He's pretty woodpecker-ish, isn't he?
08:01Hmm.
08:04Yep, a lot like a woodpecker!
08:07Tons of woodpecker in this guy!
08:09Woodpecker?
08:10He doesn't look like a woodpecker at all!
08:12Did you guys lose your creature, Mons?
08:14Come on, you guys know what he is!
08:16You're just not telling!
08:18Who is this guy?
08:20Not telling!
08:21You've got to figure it out!
08:23Aw, come on!
08:24Sorry!
08:25But one thing's for sure, he's not a sea creature!
08:29He's a land creature!
08:30And needs our help getting home!
08:32So let's go ashore and regroup, mateys!
08:36Aye!
08:36No, I mean, which is it again?
08:39Aye-aye!
08:40Oh, right!
08:41Aye-aye, mateys!
08:48Good!
08:49Okay, no damage to any of the shell exterior, Jimmy!
08:53Let's check the interior shell walls!
08:56Righty-o!
09:00Okay, so we shouldn't be too long, Aviva!
09:03Just keep gobbling nice and cozy till we get back!
09:08Oh, he'll be cozy!
09:09But what do we feed him if we don't even know what he is?
09:12Oh, don't worry about that!
09:14We'll bring some food back for him when we figure out exactly where he came from!
09:18We'll be as quick as we can!
09:20And by the time you get back, we'll have figured out what this little guy is!
09:25Good luck!
09:27Hey, quit it, Gob!
09:29Why are you tapping on my forehead with that bony little finger of yours?
09:33Hey!
09:34Don't complain about a little tapping!
09:36I had a woodpecker pecking on my head once, remember?
09:40I still have a scar!
09:42See?
09:43Uh, nope!
09:45Well, it's there!
09:46And being pecked by a woodpecker is a lot worse than this guy's finger tapping!
09:52I disagree!
10:02Did you see the look on their faces when we said he was pretty woodpecker-ish?
10:06Yeah!
10:07Ha ha ha!
10:08You know, maybe we should tell them what we meant!
10:11Come on, call him on your creature pod!
10:13Aye-aye!
10:14Are we doing the pirate thing again?
10:18Arrgh!
10:18Call him then!
10:19No, look!
10:20That kind of aye-aye!
10:22We found what we were looking for!
10:26Wow!
10:27An adult aye-aye!
10:29Aye-ayes are one of the coolest types of lemur on the planet!
10:32Yeah, and the largest nocturnal primate in the world!
10:38They definitely don't look like they're related to lemurs, monkeys, and apes, do they?
10:42But they are!
10:43And the only way to find out if this one is Goblin's mom is to stick with her and look
10:48for clues!
10:52Oh, it's that special, bony third finger!
10:56She's tapping, Martin!
10:58Awesome!
11:00And those bat-like ears!
11:01Look at them swiveling!
11:03Listening real close!
11:06Hmm!
11:08I don't hear anything!
11:12But that finger is leading somewhere, all right!
11:16We gotta follow that finger!
11:20Aviva!
11:20Jimmy!
11:21Come here!
11:22Where did this hole come from?
11:24I just did a full shell inspection and everything was in tip-top shape!
11:28And now look!
11:29It's right through to the shell vent system!
11:32It looks like a woodpecker hole!
11:34Yeah, but there aren't even any woodpeckers in Madagascar, so it can't be that!
11:39Huh?
11:40Hey, Goblin!
11:41What are you doing?
11:46Fritzing out the shell fans' emergency shut-off switch!
11:49That's what!
11:51Hey, go easy on the turtle!
11:53Those teeth of yours are even sharper than they look!
11:57How many of these has he done?
11:58I gotta do another shell check!
12:00Why do you keep making us think about woodpeckers?
12:07Aww!
12:09Hey!
12:10By the way, Jimmy, we shouldn't leave all those vents open with little Goblin around!
12:14Somebody needs to close them!
12:16Aye, Captain!
12:23Hey!
12:26Hear something?
12:27She does!
12:29Whoa!
12:29Look at those sharp teeth go!
12:31No wonder they always keep growing!
12:33If you're chewing on trees like that!
12:35The only primate with ever-growing teeth!
12:39Right there!
12:40The eye eye!
12:41Whoa!
12:42She's really digging for her treasure now!
12:44What'll she find in there?
12:47She's gonna use that cool finger!
12:49I can't believe it!
12:51That finger is super bendable!
12:54With ball-and-socket joints that can go in any direction!
12:58She found a huge beetle army!
13:00Ha-ha!
13:01Nothing like a big old tasty grub for an eye eye!
13:04They'll eat ramy nuts, nectar, and fungi, too!
13:07But digging out grubs is the eye eye's specialty!
13:17No chew holes in the cockpit, Cokie!
13:20Uh, Jimmy?
13:22I think someone's picking the lock on your fridge!
13:25Hey!
13:30Don't even think about taking that mango!
13:33Oh, there goes my midnight snack!
13:37So that finger's for picking locks?
13:40I'm starting to see what they meant by woodpeckerish!
13:43The tapping, the hole-chewing, the long finger...
13:46Get those wild-crack kids with the clubhouse on the line!
13:49And the Krat Brothers, too!
13:50I think I'm ready to guess what kind of creature this is!
13:54Aye, aye, Aviva!
13:58Tortuga to North American Creature Club!
14:00Come in!
14:06Katie and Aiden here!
14:08Good morning, Cokie!
14:09Hi, Aviva!
14:10It's actually nighttime here in Madagascar!
14:13We're on the other side of the world!
14:15Cool!
14:15Good night, then!
14:17Hey, do you still have pileated woodpeckers around your tree fort?
14:21Sure do!
14:22Headbanger's right outside!
14:24Great!
14:24Can you show me how they hunt food again?
14:27Sure!
14:31Okay!
14:32Chris!
14:32Martin!
14:33Are you there, too?
14:34Yep!
14:35So you think you know what he is?
14:36Sure do!
14:38Check this out!
14:39So, the first thing a woodpecker does to find food is tap on a tree looking for hollows, right?
14:44Yeah!
14:44He's doing it right now!
14:47See?
14:48Little taps, and then he listens, trying to hear little bugs inside the tunnels!
14:52Which is just what little goblin does!
14:56Yeah, and watch this adult do it!
14:58Eight taps a second!
14:59Then she listens for grubs with those amazing ears!
15:02So tap to find a tunnel, and then step two, he drills down into it!
15:08With that super strong, sharp beak!
15:11And our goblin creatures?
15:13Same thing, but with her super sharp teeth instead of a beak!
15:17And then, when Headbanger gets to the tunnels, he shoots his long spiky tongue into the tunnel and pulls out
15:23the bug!
15:25And she does the same, but with her special, super long, super skinny, super bendable finger!
15:35So, I'm ready to guess what creature it is!
15:38Okay, let's hear it!
15:40Okay, they do the same thing as woodpeckers.
15:43Catch bugs in wood.
15:44Exactly!
15:45And since Madagascar is the land of the lemurs, and there never have been woodpeckers here, a lemur started to
15:52evolve that could get at those tasty little grubs.
15:55So, I think he's a lemur, who just looks really weird because he has some really special features.
16:00Features he needs to catch the same food as a woodpecker does.
16:04You got it right, Aviva!
16:05Woo-hoo!
16:06Yes!
16:07I knew it!
16:08But wait, I still don't know what it's called.
16:11Tell me the lemur's name.
16:12Aye-aye!
16:14Okay, Buccaneers.
16:16So, what is it?
16:17Aye-aye!
16:19Aye-aye-aye!
16:20No, I mean the name of the lemur!
16:23It's called an aye-aye!
16:25It is?
16:26An aye-aye?
16:27Really?
16:28Yeah!
16:29It sure is!
16:30Hey, but we gotta go!
16:32This aye-aye's on the move!
16:34Wait!
16:35What about Goblin?
16:36Did you find his home?
16:38We'll call you right back!
16:43Where are you going, girl?
16:46Look, there's a few scattered sticks in the crotch of that tree.
16:53Oh, she's upset!
16:55These stray sticks must be where her nest was!
16:59Yeah, it shook loose during the storm and fell into the river below.
17:05It was washed out to sea where we found it floating in the water with little Goblin inside.
17:11Ha-ha!
17:12You're Goblin's mom!
17:15Pirate Bros to Tortuga!
17:17Come in, Tortuga!
17:18Tortuga here?
17:19We found Goblin's mom!
17:21We're on our way back to pick him up and bring him home!
17:24Woo-hoo!
17:25Hooray!
17:26Did you hear that, Goblin?
17:28You're going home to mama!
17:30That's awesome!
17:34Huh?
17:34No Goblin?
17:36Where'd he go, Jimmy?
17:38He climbed over that way.
17:40He finally let me have some mango.
17:45No, wait!
17:47Not the shell, Ben!
17:49Oh, no!
17:51He's gone!
17:53He's inside the turtle shell!
17:55Aviva, that is not good!
17:58I know!
18:02We're back!
18:03But I don't get it!
18:05You said you'd close the vents!
18:07Me?
18:07I didn't say that!
18:09Huh?
18:10Yes, you did!
18:11Remember?
18:12I said someone should close those shell vents, and you said I!
18:17Exactly!
18:17I said I!
18:18Like, yes, someone should!
18:20Not I, I!
18:21Like, I'll do that!
18:23Ugh!
18:23I'll never make it as a pirate!
18:26Wait, let me guess!
18:27Goblin's lost in the turtle shell?
18:30Mm-hmm!
18:32That's horrible!
18:33How are we going to get him out of there?
18:35Exactly!
18:36Taking off the shell panels is a huge job, especially in the middle of the night!
18:41Hey, what about climbing up the vent and searching for him?
18:43We could do that, if we miniaturize, but it'd be really easy to get lost up there.
18:50Hmm, if we could somehow just pinpoint exactly where he is.
18:56Hang on, hang on, Martin, I'm thinking.
18:59Yeah, yeah, yeah, one second, Chris.
19:01I'm trying to figure out what creature power would help here.
19:04Wait, wait, I think I have an idea.
19:07Hold on, hold on, me too.
19:10We need...
19:11I.I. Power!
19:13Finally!
19:14That's a great idea!
19:17And I'm going to need your help to make the power disks with all your cool features.
19:25Wait, which finger is it again?
19:26One, two, three...
19:29Got it!
19:39Got it!
19:41That should do it!
19:48Done!
19:50Heads up, guys!
19:53Got it!
19:56Activate I.I. Power!
20:08Let's find your baby.
20:10To the Goblin Rescue!
20:11Thank you!
20:14Whoa!
20:15These fingers feel as weird as they look.
20:18And they are quick!
20:20And these ears turn like satellite dishes, and...
20:24Whoa!
20:25Every sound is super loud!
20:28I can definitely hear that it's hollow in there.
20:32And wait, I can hear something else.
20:35It sounds like...
20:38Jimmy, are you eating again?
20:41Oops!
20:42Sorry!
20:45Wow!
20:46A primate with echolocation powers!
20:49Amazing!
20:50Don't worry, Mama G.
20:51We'll find him!
21:03Cokie, I'm hearing a humming sound in some places.
21:07What is that?
21:08A humming sound?
21:12The fans!
21:14They keep the air moving through the shell!
21:16Gotta shut them off!
21:19Uh-oh!
21:21The shell's emergency shut-off is broken!
21:23Goblin, shoot it, remember?
21:25Guys, hurry!
21:26We gotta find him fast!
21:27Those fans are dangerous!
21:29We're on it!
21:38Over here!
21:41There's something down there, all right.
21:43And heading that way!
21:55He's Goblin!
21:58Whoa!
21:59It's like having a power chisel for teeth!
22:06I'm through!
22:08Me too!
22:10Aye, aye, finger!
22:12Don't fail us now!
22:14I can't feel him!
22:16Anywhere!
22:18I can't either!
22:27I've got something!
22:29Come here!
22:30Is it?
22:32Yes!
22:33Yeah!
22:34We did it!
22:35Yahoo!
22:36Way to go!
22:37All right!
22:38There's your mom, little guy!
22:40She was worried about you!
22:43Now that's a happy little Goblin!
22:49Everything okay up there?
22:51Yep!
22:52The aye-aye's nest is back in the tree and extra secure!
23:00Well, that's mission accomplished!
23:03Goblin's back home with Mom where he belongs!
23:05And we got to hang out with one of the strangest creatures on Earth!
23:12I can't believe the aye-aye and the woodpecker do the same thing, like go after the same food,
23:17in kind of similar ways, in two different parts of the world!
23:21Yep!
23:21They fill the same niche in nature!
23:24Niche?
23:25Yeah!
23:25That's the scientific name for it!
23:27It's like they have the same job in nature!
23:30Eating grubs and other insects hidden in trees!
23:33Or behind your ear!
23:37Yeah!
23:38That too!
23:42Aye-aye's are one of the most unusual lemurs in Madagascar!
23:46And one of the strangest creatures on Earth!
23:50As they move along the branch, they tap-tap-tap with that long, skinny, bony finger!
23:56The skinny finger taps super fast as those big ears listen closely to the sound!
24:02If they hear something, the chisel-like teeth dig into the tree branch!
24:08Finally, it's that super-long, skinny finger that reaches in for the grub!
24:13Yum!
24:14Nothing like a nice, big, juicy grub as a midnight snack!
24:19I love aye-eyes!
24:21And there are other nocturnal creatures in the forest!
24:24It's just a matter of finding them!
24:29Mouse lemur!
24:30The mouse lemur is one of the smallest primates in the world!
24:34They eat insects, lizards, frogs, and even flowers and sap!
24:37He's quick, too!
24:40As morning broke, we found one more nocturnal lemur!
24:45Sportive lemurs!
24:46Wow!
24:47A.K.A. lepolemurs!
24:49Now, they were always thought to be solitary, but check it out!
24:52We've got two right here!
24:53They're nocturnal, just like the aye-aye, and they're sitting right outside their nest,
24:58which is in the hole in the tree!
25:00Grooming!
25:01Okay, that is not something that a solitary lemur does!
25:04You know, this grooming behavior in sportive lemurs may never have been filmed before!
25:09And a baby popping up right in between them!
25:12Oh, that is a young baby!
25:13Looks only about a month old!
25:15Wow, another first!
25:17Nobody's ever seen a baby sportive lemur in the wild!
25:21That's only a mugged old!
25:24Another one!
25:25Just popped out of the hole!
25:26A juvenile!
25:28Now, this guy is from last year, so he's about a year old, and the baby is only in the
25:33month old!
25:33So there are four sportive lemurs here!
25:36Mom, dad, juvenile, and baby!
25:40Another cool and mysterious nocturnal lemur!
25:44From the mouse lemur, to the sportive lemur, to the mysterious aye-aye!
25:48Nocturnal lemurs are definitely some of the coolest!
25:51Keep on creature adventuring!
25:53We'll see you on the creature trail!
