00:00This is called Wild Wild Wild Rats!
00:03Maxilla! She's gone.
00:05Gone? Where'd she go?
00:07There! Oh, no!
00:10You're right, Martin. Now she does need our help.
00:16Hang on, Maxilla. I'll get you out.
00:19Martin, behind you!
00:22Uh-oh. I'm too late.
00:26Nice, Spider.
00:28Okay, we're just passing through.
00:31Whoa!
00:34Oh, got you, bro.
00:36I can't believe it.
00:38Why did the spider cut her loose?
00:40Why did he let her go?
00:43Monarchs taste bad.
00:44Yeah. I'll stick to hot dogs.
00:47No, really. It says right here that they're poisonous.
00:50Look at this.
00:52All it takes is for a predator to try eating a monarch once,
00:55and he gets so sick that he'll never eat another one as long as he lives.
01:02So that's why the spider didn't eat Maxilla.
01:05He knows monarchs are poisonous.
01:07Wow. It really helps to have a few tricks like that when you're on a 4,800-kilometer journey.
01:13Over forests, through cities, until after 3,200 kilometers, the butterflies have to pass through this thin strip of land
01:23to their final destination, Mexico.
01:26I asked Davio, we're going to Mexico.
01:32Where's that?
01:33We must be getting close. They're all going into that forest.
01:39Whoa! We have arrived!
01:43Amazing! The secret winter hideout of the monarch butterflies.
01:49All the monarchs from across eastern North America, right here in this tiny forest.
01:55Maxilla, I knew you could do it.
01:584,800 kilometers on 10-centimeter wings.
02:00And the amazing thing is, you've never even been here before.
02:05Yeah. When you started the trip, you just emerged from your chrysalis.
02:08Nobody knows how you guys find your way here, but you do.
02:12That's what I call nature's know-how.
02:15Hey, the butterflies are settling down.
02:18Everyone's finding a place in the trees.
02:21Of course. It's getting colder. It's hibernation time.
02:25And it's even colder up here, Chris. We've got the first snowstorm of the season.
02:29This must be why they left in the first place. Right, guys? Guys?
02:34They couldn't survive up there, but here they can huddle together through the winter.
02:39And so are we. Butterfly style.
02:45Butterfly play.
02:48Migrators turned hibernators.
02:50Well, if they hang out with the sleeping butterflies for four months,
02:54it'll give me time to work on butterfly programming for the creature power suits.
02:58Sweet dreams.
03:03The wild cratcher that way.
03:06Aw, he's like the hound dog I never had.
03:12Ha, yeah!
03:23Wow! Litter Goose and Crattorum is fast!
03:27Truly the cheetahs of the mantis world!
03:30Yeah!
03:32And they can stop on a dime.
03:34Uh-huh!
03:37Wow! Check it out!
03:39Litter Goose and Crattorum has great camouflage, too.
03:42He blends into the bark and disappears.
03:45Now I understand why we never saw them before.
03:48But they don't just hide and wait for prey to come to them.
03:56They chase it down!
03:59Whoa!
04:04How's it going, Rose?
04:06Great!
04:10Uh-oh!
04:14This mini-adventure has too much big excitement for me.
04:18I'm gonna get back to the miniaturizer to get real size.
04:23Whoa!
04:24Watch out for the bird, bros!
04:27Huh?
04:29Ah!
04:35Whoa!
04:36A tree tarantula!
04:39Cool!
04:40A turnip-tailed gecko!
04:42Whoa!
04:43Whoa!
04:45The life of Litter Goose and Crattorum is fast and furious.
04:51We are getting close now!
04:53This way!
04:54Coming!
04:56Oh, goody!
05:02Okay, so where exactly did Martin bury the miniaturizer?
05:07Oh!
05:08Hello, Shadow!
05:09You are so cute!
05:12Whoa!
05:13Hey!
05:14And I'm a kitty toy!
05:17Huh?
05:20Shadow, what's wrong?
05:24That sounds like...
05:26Donita!
05:27And Zack!
05:29And Gourmand!
05:36Up there!
05:38That's where the Cratt Bros are!
05:40Surely they're with the new mantis named after them!
05:44Oh!
05:45That makes me so mad!
05:49Ready for collection!
05:50Let's get them all!
05:55There!
05:55Oh, we bees love flowers because they give us that sugary water called nectar!
06:01Whoa!
06:02Look!
06:02Uh, Chris?
06:03Might not want to crowd them!
06:04Us bees like our space!
06:06He's sipping up nectar!
06:08With his tongue!
06:09Then he puts it in his stomach for storage!
06:13Uh-oh!
06:15Ouch!
06:17That bee was just doing his thing and then I...
06:20Stuck your nose into Busy Bee's business?
06:22Yeah!
06:22I bugged him!
06:23So of course he stung me!
06:25Honeybees only sting when they're protecting themselves or their hive!
06:31Oh, these bees get really riled up!
06:33Of course!
06:34It's an African honeybee!
06:36Sometimes called the killer bee!
06:37The most aggressive honeybee in the world!
06:41Whoa!
06:42I think I've found the roughest, toughest animal in Africa!
06:46The honeybee!
06:47Well, at .14 grams, he's just a little guy so he gets extra toughness points for taking on a giant
06:53like Chris!
06:54That gets him an 8 on the Wild Kratz Tough-O-Meter!
06:57Nah, the lion is still the toughest!
07:01Come on, he's a predator who attacks!
07:04Take him from someone who's been stung!
07:06It's the African honeybee!
07:08Uh, Chris, is that your nose or are you wearing a tomato on your face?
07:13I'll always remember, give a bee his space!
07:16Cleared for takeoff!
07:20Follow that bee!
07:21To the hive!
07:22Don't lose him!
07:32Whoa!
07:38Whoa!
07:39Whoa!
07:40Whoa!
07:41Whoa!
07:41I'm sorry!
07:41I didn't see you!
07:46See?
07:47The lion's the toughest!
07:49Whoa!
07:49Whoa!
07:50Oh!
07:55Whoa!
07:56We've got a nine!
07:59It's too close to call between the lion
08:01and the African honeybee.
08:02I need more data.
08:04Keep your eye on that bee!
08:12The sweet smell strengthens.
08:15Honey is near.
08:21Hello, honeybees!
08:22Hello, honey!
08:24There goes the bee!
08:25Back to his hive!
08:31I couldn't be happier to see
08:33Green Grape and Blueberry.
08:36They will help me steal the honey.
08:43Ha-ha! We did it!
08:45Yeah!
08:51Oh, boy!
08:52Am I glad to see you!
08:53Ha!
08:54The fig flower pollinators are born!
08:57I get it.
08:58This whole thing works for the fig and the fig wasp.
09:01The plant gave your mom these nice, safe boards
09:04to lay her eggs in.
09:06And when you hatch,
09:07you get covered with pollen
09:09as you head for the exit hole.
09:11Does that mean you're on your way to another fig?
09:18Wherever you're going, I'm going too!
09:20Wait for me!
09:30Let's ride, pollinator!
09:37The pollinator attractor is almost done.
09:39I think it has every single pollination trick there is.
09:42Reds for hummingbirds?
09:44Oranges for butterflies?
09:45Check!
09:46Smelly perfumes for bees?
09:48And rotten carcass smells for flies?
09:49Check!
09:51Traps?
09:51Check!
09:52Fake bees to trick other bees?
09:54Check, check, check!
09:55I got them all!
09:56If this doesn't lure in whatever pollinator Chris is attached to,
09:59nothing will!
10:01Alright!
10:02Start her up, Aviva!
10:13Calling all pollinators!
10:16Calling all pollinators!
10:20That didn't take long.
10:23It's a pollinator swarm!
10:28It's working alright!
10:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
10:36Huh?
10:37What is going on?
10:42That's a lot of pollinators!
10:44Chris!
10:45Are you out there?
10:47Chris!
10:48Aviva!
10:49Martin, over here!
10:50On the wasp!
10:54I didn't see him, but I heard him!
10:58Follow that wasp!
11:02Ahhhh!
11:03Activating bee power!
11:12Chris!
11:13Hop on!
11:14Too stinky!
11:15Meet us at the fake gourd!
11:17She was just born an inside one, and now she's finding another one to lay her eggs in!
11:21Like that one!
11:22A fig gourd!
11:27Quick!
11:29Unstick me!
11:34Thanks, bro!
11:36No problem, dude!
11:38See ya, Figgy!
11:40She found a fig to lay her own eggs in, and delivered the fig pollen at the same time!
12:04The
