00:00Atlantic Ocean.
00:02We're here in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
00:05It's us, the Krat Brothers.
00:07I'm Chris.
00:07I'm Martin.
00:08And we are searching for a really, really cool bird.
00:12It has awesome features.
00:13It's big, has a really long neck, a spear-like beak.
00:17And it's blue.
00:18That's one of its best features.
00:20Well, it's not one of its best features.
00:21Yeah, it is. Blue is my favorite color.
00:25Coming in over the treetops, that is a blue heron.
00:28Great blue herons fly like prehistoric creatures.
00:33Reminds me of a pterodactyl.
00:36Great blue herons nest in groups called rookeries.
00:39They really like tall trees where predators can't get to them.
00:44Here, we've got another blue heron coming in.
00:47They look like they're moving kind of slow
00:49just because they have those huge wings they have to flap.
00:51But really, these birds can fly pretty fast
00:54and cover a long distance in no time
00:57as they go out looking for food.
00:59Oh, this is cool.
01:01Great blue herons fly with their necks folded back
01:03and their feet reaching past their tail.
01:06So when they land, their legs are already in position.
01:11The great blue heron is one of the largest birds in North America.
01:15They use their long, thin legs to wade through water.
01:18He moves really slowly to make sure he doesn't scare his prey.
01:23Waiting patiently for his chance, and then...
01:26Boom!
01:27Ha!
01:27He strikes with his spear-like beak.
01:31Imagine if we had blue heron powers.
01:34The long legs and stalking ability.
01:36The patience and laser focus.
01:39The lightning strike.
01:40What if?
01:49On adventure with the coolest creatures.
01:52From the oceans to the trees.
01:54The brothers' cracks are going places you never get to see.
01:58Hanging with their creature friends.
02:01Get ready, it's the hour.
02:03We're gonna save some animals today
02:05With your creature powers!
02:07Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:09Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:11Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:13Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:15Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:17Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:18Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:24Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:26Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:29Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:29Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:29Gonna go wild, wild plants
02:29Go wild, wild, wild plants
02:31Go wild, wild, wild plants
02:34Lou Heron.
02:47Woo-hoo!
02:49Ha-ha, yeah!
02:51This is living!
02:53Ha-ha-ho!
02:55And the final touch.
02:57Let's go!
03:02Woo!
03:03I don't believe it!
03:05Stop the tortuga!
03:07I see something blue.
03:09What?
03:09The sky?
03:11The water?
03:12No.
03:13Your painting?
03:15No.
03:16That bird!
03:19A blue heron!
03:24Wow!
03:25Like a feathery dinosaur!
03:27Knock me over with a big blue feather!
03:31Fantastico!
03:32No fair!
03:33I can't see it!
03:35Hang on, Jimmy!
03:36There you go!
03:39Nice!
03:42Hey, my big blue buddy!
03:45Oh, no!
03:46Is this going to be another blue adventure?
03:49What am I going to name you?
03:53I gotta find something green!
03:58Hmm, green, green, green.
04:01Marsh grass?
04:02No!
04:03Hmm.
04:04Oh, tortuga!
04:05It's green-ish.
04:08Where's a green heron when you need one?
04:10There should be a green heron around here somewhere.
04:14I don't worry about it, bro.
04:16It doesn't matter that the bird is blue.
04:18Just think about how amazing any heron power suit would be.
04:21True?
04:23Oh, yeah.
04:24All herons are totally awesome creatures, Martin.
04:28Hey, and you know what?
04:30I think I'm thinking what you're thinking.
04:32It's not the color of the creature power suit.
04:35It's the power of the creature within.
04:38Yeah!
04:39Yeah, you got it.
04:40We're both thinking about what heron powers can do.
04:43Time for some wildlife observations.
04:46Yeah, let's check out this great blue heron!
04:49Ha-ha!
04:50Yeah!
04:51Wait, I'm coming, too!
04:54Awesome!
05:01Shh!
05:06The blue heron may be the most patient bird ever.
05:11And when he wants to move, may be the fastest.
05:17He caught a fish!
05:18So fast!
05:20So blue!
05:22Long neck and lightning strike with a spear beak,
05:26this blue heron has some great creature powers.
05:33Yeah, you guys need to break it down.
05:35Make more observations.
05:37I've got to make a blue heron power suit.
05:40Blue?
05:40Ah, but it would be great to find a green heron.
05:45Why don't we look around for one?
05:47Green herons hunt the same way and have similar powers.
05:50There must be a green heron around here someplace.
05:54But, Chris, there's a blue heron right in front of us,
05:57and he's still hunting.
05:59Hmm, and I've got to think of a name for him.
06:02Hmm.
06:07Got it!
06:08Blue beaky!
06:09Blue beaky?
06:11Yeah!
06:12Blue beaky!
06:14Any particular reason?
06:16Well, he's blue, has a beak, and, uh,
06:18I like the sound of it.
06:19Blue beaky.
06:21Good one, Martin!
06:22I'm going back to the Tortuga to program blue heron powers.
06:26This blue heron power suit is going to be so much fun to make!
06:34Oh, Viva!
06:36She always thinks she's smarter than me.
06:39Hmm.
06:42And there she goes into her big, annoying turtle ship.
06:47Hey!
06:49What if the turtle ship wasn't so big,
06:52and I could hold it in the palm of my hand?
06:56Yes!
06:58Then I could steal it and everything in it,
07:01all the inventions and technology,
07:03all at once!
07:05Then she'll see who's the smartest!
07:13Hello, little robber bots!
07:18Listen up, robber bots!
07:20Go get the miniaturizer.
07:22It's in the turtle ship!
07:27And then I'll meet you under it!
07:37The blue heron is so beautiful!
07:41It really is!
07:43A predator with real creature power.
07:46Pretty big, too!
07:48One of the largest birds in North America
07:50and the biggest heron, too!
07:52I like the long neck.
07:54Yup, folded up like a noodle.
07:56But then it shoots forward into a long spear.
07:59With eyes!
08:01A living spear with eyes!
08:03I like the feathers at the back of his head.
08:06Style factor.
08:08Yup.
08:09The blue heron power suit is going to be a classic.
08:13Yeah.
08:17Hey!
08:21Over here!
08:24Put it down right here!
08:29My miniaturizer!
08:31Let's get this ready for operation!
08:35Let's get this ready for operation!
08:46I want this to be a surprise!
08:54Okay, let's test out the neck extension!
08:57What are we testing it on?
09:01Hey!
09:02Good dick!
09:03Whoa!
09:04Great zag!
09:05Cut that out!
09:06Nice move!
09:09Oh!
09:10My elbow!
09:11Got it!
09:14Thanks, Jimmy!
09:16Hey, guys!
09:16We've got the concept of neck extension.
09:18So, are you ready to go through the creature feature checklist of the blue heron's amazing talents and abilities?
09:24Oh, yeah!
09:25We were born ready!
09:27Actually, we were born in New Jersey.
09:29But we are ready!
09:30What do you got?
09:32Blue Beaky has very long legs to wade through water.
09:36Long legs!
09:37Check!
09:41He moves slowly and freezes.
09:45Excellent muscle control.
09:46Check!
09:47Check!
09:48Neck is held in trigger position.
09:50Like a backwards S.
09:52Got it!
09:53Check!
09:54His eyes have great depth perception, seeing the fish deep in the water.
09:59Got it!
10:00Increasing depth perception to the goggles.
10:05Wow!
10:06Check!
10:07And patience.
10:09Just waiting until the fish comes close enough.
10:12Don't look away or you'll miss it.
10:16Waiting.
10:18Waiting.
10:20Don't blink.
10:22Waiting.
10:23Just don't look away.
10:26Once upon a time, there was a big turtle ship.
10:29And the greatest inventor in the world, that's me, had another great idea.
10:37And then there was a tiny turtle ship.
11:00it will be worth the wait.
11:05I-I-I-I-I-I.weh
11:07I-I-I-I-I.
11:11Wait for it
11:13Getting closer
11:16Almost there
11:22Yeah, nailed it
11:24What a strike
11:26Wow, that was fast
11:28Gotta play that back
11:35Whoa
11:37That sums it up
11:39And gives us the last info we need
11:41Creature power programming initiating
11:45And the electro-digital magic
11:47Does its work
11:52Blue heron power disc complete
11:55Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
12:00We'll bring them to you
12:02Yeah, it's a nice sunny day
12:04I've got my marsh boots
12:14Whoa, this grass got long
12:16What happened?
12:18Hello, tiny tinies
12:24Back to the cartoon
12:26Hide if you want
12:39I have all of your technology in the palm of my hand
12:44Literally
12:47We've been miniaturized by Zack
12:50So he can get all my inventions
12:52Initiate Tortuga Lockdown
12:54Initiating now
13:04Oh, you pinched my finger
13:07There's no way he's getting in
13:09Oh, yeah
13:10You think that'll stop me?
13:13I'll show you
13:19Ow!
13:20It hurts!
13:24Ah!
13:25Cloaking device off!
13:30I'll open up your turtle ship in my laboratory
13:37Zack thinks he knows everything
13:39But there's one thing he doesn't know
13:41We have our new blue heron creature power discs
13:45I'd like to see Zack deal with those lightning fast blue heron spear beaks when Martin and Chris come to
13:51the rescue
13:54Martin, Chris, Zack has captured the Tortuga
13:57What?
13:58We need your help
13:59Blue heron discs are on the way
14:01Coming at you, Jimmy
14:02Catch!
14:04Energize!
14:05And zap him!
14:09There!
14:11Okay, we're on it
14:15But these are tiny
14:17They don't fit
14:18They're minuscule
14:19Oh, no, we forgot
14:21Zack miniaturized us
14:23We're teeny tiny
14:24So the discs are teeny tiny too
14:29Now, let's get all the wild cracks inventions and technology out of that shell
14:35Hmm
14:36Oh, this doesn't look good
14:38I know what we can do
14:40Make one huge disc in here
14:42And program it with blue heron powers
14:44Great idea, Cookie
14:46Bros, stay there with the blue heron
14:48We'll get you the disc
14:49We will
14:50But hurry
14:51Guys, Zack is gonna cut the Tortuga in half
14:55Uh-oh
14:56Get us out of here, Jimmy
14:58Cookie, help me
15:00Whoa
15:01We have to fabricate a giant blue heron power disc
15:04But I'll need some more parts
15:05I'm on it
15:08Activate turtle wheels
15:13Stay still
15:14Stop moving
15:20Zack's quick
15:21I can't dodge him forever
15:23Flight mode
15:26Get back here
15:28Huh?
15:29You can't get away from me
15:38Zack bots
15:39Get them
15:50Okay
15:51Fabrication complete
15:52Programming
15:53Get ready to teleport it, Jimmy
15:55I can't teleport it while I'm driving
15:57And we're being chased by Zack bots
15:59So I can't stop driving
16:06Okay, so I have another plan
16:08I'm gonna take it to them
16:10How are you going to do that?
16:13Like this
16:14Attach thrusters
16:15Great idea, Cookie
16:17We'll make sure the Zack bots follow us
16:19Open the sunroof, Jimmy
16:24Initiate thrusters
16:33And see me
16:38Where are the rogues?
16:41There they are
16:42Coming in one day
16:47Oh, wow
16:48Oh, yeah
16:50Oh
16:54Hey
16:55What are all those Zack bots doing up there?
16:59What?
17:00They're chasing a mini Tortuga
17:03And there's something else
17:06Huh?
17:07A mini Cokie is flying?
17:10On a creature power disc?
17:12Are you kidding me?
17:14Whoa
17:17Here, bros
17:19A blue heron power disc
17:20Huh?
17:23Phew
17:24Sorry, Martin
17:25A creature power disc is not easy to fly
17:28Nice one, Cokie
17:31Yeah
17:31I managed to escape with the disc
17:34We need blue heron powers to rescue the Tortuga
17:36And get back the Miniaturizer
17:38Hey, Chris
17:39You want to activate this one?
17:41Nah
17:42You're the blue brother
17:43Yeah
17:44Blue is my favorite color
17:45Well, you better hurry, bro
17:47We gotta rescue that Tortuga
17:49Insert blue heron disc
17:52Hey, Blue Beaky
17:53Can you lend me some blue heron power?
17:58Yes
18:00Touch blue heron
18:01Activate blue heron power
18:19Wow
18:19I like it
18:21But I still gotta test this out
18:23Hold still, Chris
18:25I'm going to try and grab your shoelace
18:31Yeah
18:32Nailed it
18:34Oh, great
18:36Ow
18:42I can't hold them off for long
18:45We gotta try to hide somewhere
18:47In the murky water
18:48Down there
18:49Get ready for a crash dive
18:54Engage water features
19:05Yeah
19:05Phew
19:06Great driving, Jimmy
19:08Come on
19:09Let's split while the Zackbots are trying to get unstuck from the muck
19:12You got it
19:13Sneaky now
19:20What?
19:26Crab, a monster crab
19:29Uh-oh
19:30Full reverse
19:34I think we're trapped
19:37Evasive maneuvers
19:40She's got us
19:41And look at those mouth parts
19:43She's trying to bite through the glass
19:45That's not good
19:47She wants to eat us
19:49It's gonna flood
19:51Ah
19:56Was that a blue heron beak?
19:58I think so
19:59We've got to get a look
20:00Periscope up
20:05Yes
20:06With the crab in his beak
20:10Phew
20:11The blue heron saved us
20:13Unless he just saved us for later
20:15What if the blue heron is still hungry?
20:17We're snack size
20:21Uh-oh
20:26We're gonna be eaten
20:27Relax, guys
20:29It's just Martin
20:30Yeah, well, me
20:31In my awesome new blue heron power suit
20:36Phew
20:38What a relief
20:39I thought it was over when I saw that heron beak coming at us
20:42Here you go, bro
20:45Are you okay in there?
20:47Yep
20:48And I've got a surprise for you, Chris
20:50I made another blue heron power disc
20:52Real size
20:55Oh, thanks, Aviva
20:57One question
20:58Do you think it'll still work if I touch a green heron to activate it?
21:02Uh, no time to be picky, Chris
21:04I think you better just touch the nearest heron and activate
21:08Look!
21:12Get my tiny tortuga back!
21:20That's a lot of zackbots
21:22I'll need some help
21:26Here they come!
21:30Gah!
21:31Hurry, Chris
21:32Activate heron powers!
21:36Please come out green
21:37Please come out green
21:44Watch it, blue boy
21:48Thanks for the warning, Zach
21:49I didn't see that one
21:55What?
21:56Uh-oh
21:57Chris!
21:59Yes!
22:01Aw, it's blue
22:03Really, really blue
22:05Aw, that's no problem
22:07This is a problem
22:09Oh, no
22:10Coming to the Martin rescue!
22:21One down
22:25Gotcha
22:27Woo-hoo
22:34Okay, fine
22:35So you keep the turtle ship and its technology for today
22:39But I get it tomorrow
22:42Not so fast, Zach
22:43You've still got something of ours
22:47We'll need this to get our friends back to real size
22:50And the tortuga, too
22:52Ha-ha-ha-ha
22:54Ow!
22:56I'll get you next time, wild rats!
22:59That's wild crats!
23:02Yeah!
23:04Well, everything's back to normal again
23:07And you know what?
23:08You look pretty good in blue, bro
23:10No, I really don't
23:14Green's my color
23:15Then, uh, why didn't you touch that green heron right there?
23:18It was there the whole time
23:20Huh?
23:21Oh!
23:23Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
23:27Where have you been, buddy?
23:29Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
23:34The great blue heron is the largest heron in North America
23:38Spends most of his day standing around
23:41Looking down into the water for his next meal
23:44Not that turtle
23:46And when they find a good hunting spot
23:48That's when the great blue heron's amazing creature powers are revealed
23:53It starts with the legs
23:54Those long legs are perfectly designed
23:57For wading through the water, shallow or deep
24:00Looking for prey
24:02And the eyes, laser-focused
24:05With great depth perception
24:07So he can see his target
24:09Way down under the water's surface
24:11The patient blue heron waits, waits, and strike!
24:17Not this time
24:18But that beak is what gets the heron in its meal
24:20That is a great collection of creature powers in one bird
24:25Sometimes when he's looking around and watching the pond
24:28He takes a little break for feather maintenance
24:30That's another creature power of the long neck
24:33It can reach every single feather
24:36He preens them, keeps them dry, and keeps them healthy
24:40So he can fly again
24:46Oh yeah!
24:48Great blue herons are awesome
24:50But they're not the only herons
24:52They're one species in a family called Ardeidae
24:55Which has 64 different species all around the world
24:59There might be some more around here too
25:01Want to check it out?
25:02Why not?
25:02See if we can find some
25:03Let's do it
25:05Hey Chris, we got heron action
25:07A tricolored heron
25:09And a snowy egret
25:11Wow, hey, and they're hunting
25:12Not waiting patiently this time
25:15This is a run, chase, and grab strategy
25:18They still use the long legs
25:19And the long neck
25:20And the sharp beak
25:21Oh, they're quick
25:23Yeah, you got one
25:24Hey, it's like they're competing for food
25:27Who's going to catch more?
25:29The tricolored heron?
25:30Or the snowy egret?
25:32The hunting's good
25:33That is a great display of heron creature power
25:37So next time you're near a wetland
25:39Keep your eyes peeled for the amazing great blue herons
25:42And other kinds of herons
25:43Keep our creature adventuring
25:45We'll see you on the creature trail
25:47Get ready
