00:00Help all kids learn and grow with PBS Kids.
00:03Thank you for supporting your PBS station.
00:08Hi, we're the Krat Brothers.
00:10I'm Martin.
00:11And I'm Chris.
00:11And we love lizards.
00:13Oh, yeah.
00:14They're scaly.
00:17They have claws.
00:19They're cool.
00:20You mean cold-blooded.
00:21Yeah, that too.
00:22But I mean cool.
00:24Check out the attitude.
00:25Whoa.
00:27A monitor lizard.
00:28All lizards have certain things in common.
00:31The claws, the scaly skin, the general body shape.
00:35Plus, a lot of lizards do similar things.
00:38They prowl.
00:40Like this guy who walks around shooting out his tongue to smell.
00:51They climb like the green iguana who climbs trees or me.
00:57They swim like the marine iguanas of the Galapagos Islands.
01:04But there are very, very few lizards that can glide.
01:08Gliding lizards that can jump out of a tree, glide through the air like the flying gecko.
01:14This special lizard has skin between his toes that act like wings.
01:18So when he jumps off a tree, those foot wings help him glide through the air.
01:24Look at those flying feet.
01:26Amazing.
01:28He even has skin around the sides of his body.
01:32Perfect parachute-like features.
01:36Imagine if we could fly through the rainforest with the gliding lizards.
01:40What if?
01:49On adventure with the coolest creatures from the oceans to the trees.
01:54The brothers' cracks are going places you never get to see.
01:58Hanging with their creature friends.
02:00Get ready, it's the hour.
02:02We're going to save some animals today with Creature Power.
02:07We're going to save some animals today with Creature Power.
02:40Zip lining is one great way to get around up here.
02:43Yeah, but we've been zipping around all day, and we haven't found zip.
02:47Where are you Draco lizards?
02:57Whoa.
02:59No time for sightseeing, bro.
03:01You've got to keep up if we're going to...
03:02What are you talking about?
03:03I was right behind you.
03:04Yeah, but today we've got to be at the top of our climbing game.
03:08Like, can you do this?
03:10Woo-hoo-hoo!
03:12So what is this now?
03:13A Who's the Best Climbing Brother contest?
03:16I thought we were on a mission to find a rare lizard.
03:19We are!
03:21Draco volans, one of the few species of gliding lizards in the world.
03:25There are others like the flying gecko,
03:27but the one we're looking for is the Draco lizard.
03:31That's why you've got to climb like me.
03:34It'll come down to a split second.
03:36Whether we catch up with the Draco and discover the secret of this mysterious flying lizard or not.
03:42A Draco lizard!
03:44Zipping away!
03:45Wait up, Zip!
03:46Zip?
03:47You named him already?
03:48Well, he kind of named himself.
03:49Look!
03:51Does he zip or what?
03:53Come on.
03:54Now I'll show you how to climb.
03:58Wait up, Draco!
04:00They found one!
04:01A lizard that's mastered the secret of gliding flight.
04:04Whoa!
04:06Huh?
04:09Woo-hoo!
04:10Hang on, buddy!
04:14Yeah!
04:22Woo-hoo!
04:27Woo-hoo!
04:29Uh-oh!
04:31I've got no glide!
04:32Whoa!
04:33I forgot one basic law of physics!
04:36If there's nothing holding an object up,
04:38it falls!
04:40It falls faster and faster until...
04:43I grabbed something else to hold me up!
04:47Martin's going to have to admit it.
04:48I really am the best climber.
04:51Huh?
04:53Wait!
04:54That's not fair!
04:55Oh!
05:00Chris!
05:01Bro!
05:03Are you okay?
05:05Pretty lizards.
05:07Land on my finger.
05:08We better get him back to Tortuga HQ.
05:15We're there almost, Donita.
05:17Good.
05:18I want these pretty little reptiles.
05:21Ooh, the colors and wings like this will make remarkable hanging earrings.
05:26Big ones for a brooch.
05:28And ooh-la-la, a belt buckle!
05:30This will be the new fall collection of Donita Donata's living jewels.
05:36Ha-ha!
05:37Oh-ho-ho!
05:38Ha-ha!
05:39Ha-ha!
05:39Ha-ha!
05:40Ha-ha!
05:41Ha-ha!
05:42Guys, I'm okay.
05:44I'm okay.
05:45But Chris, that was some big fall.
05:48Yeah, when I fall off my chair, I'm out for the day.
05:52Yeah, you're lucky you touched down in that mud puddle.
05:54I'm absolutely fine, really.
05:56It was just the little fall.
05:59And I'm even better now!
06:01A Draco!
06:02Oh, it's Zippy!
06:04Let's go!
06:07Ha-ha-ha!
06:14Yeah, come on, Chris!
06:15We can't lose a step on this little speedster, remember?
06:18Uh, yeah.
06:20You go ahead.
06:21Lizards are tricky.
06:22We'll need more climbing gear.
06:23I'll go get it and catch up.
06:26Come on, Chris.
06:27I'll help you collect the gear.
06:34Yes?
06:35We're here, Donita.
06:36I activate Vacuum now.
06:42Well?
06:43Oh, oh, yeah.
06:45Now the lizards will be mine.
07:01Now, aren't they fabulous?
07:06Zippy, come on, slow down.
07:08Or at least don't take off until I catch up.
07:11I've got to see how you do it.
07:13What's your trick to being one of the only gliding lizards in the world?
07:18How's it going, MK?
07:20Going up, but not as fast as Zippy.
07:22Hey, tell Chris to hurry.
07:24I could use some help.
07:25Yeah, about that.
07:28Okay, I got ropes, boots.
07:31Yeah, Chris.
07:32Do your climbing thing.
07:34Oh, who am I kidding?
07:36Just thinking about climbing is making my knees lock up.
07:39I've lost my climbing mojo.
07:41I've come down with...
07:42A fear of heights?
07:44Hey, Chris.
07:45I know a lot about fear.
07:47I'm afraid of the dirt between my toes, losing my controller, and heights, too.
07:51But check it out.
07:52That's why I play with this.
07:54Chris Kratz climbing extreme.
07:56I programmed in all your moves.
07:58That's the swing, flip, with a lemur landing.
08:02Just play this, see?
08:03You'll get all your moves back.
08:05Oh, yes!
08:09Ah.
08:11Nice one, Jimmy.
08:12You just made him feel worse.
08:14I'm going to go for a walk.
08:16Not a climb.
08:17Just a walk.
08:20Control tower to pilot.
08:21You're cleared for takeoff.
08:23Zippy the Draco Lizard is lining it up.
08:26Face down is the takeoff position.
08:28Are you kidding me?
08:30That tree must be almost 200 feet away.
08:33Can you glide that far?
08:36A little breeze coming in from the east.
08:38Can you handle it, Zippy?
08:40Okay.
08:41Now show us your creature power, little buddy.
08:43What's your secret?
08:48What?
08:49You've got wings!
08:50Where did those come from?
08:54Huh?
08:55That's not gliding.
08:57Whoa!
09:00As long as my feet are on the ground, I'm not going to bang my head.
09:04But I've got to get back up there.
09:06Huh?
09:08Boots?
09:09Oh!
09:10Boots live in trees?
09:12Oh!
09:14All right!
09:16I am so ready to max out the creature power suit with Draco powers.
09:20I just need some data.
09:21Okay!
09:22I'll bring up Martin and his little buddy Zippy Doodle Zipper Pants or whatever he's called
09:26him this time.
09:27Hey, Martin!
09:27Where are you?
09:30Huh!
09:31That's weird.
09:32I'm not even getting a signal.
09:34Do you think he fell?
09:35His boots did.
09:37But where's Martin?
09:44Huh?
09:46Hmm.
09:48Uh, Donita, there is clog.
09:51So unclog the clog.
09:57Here is clog.
09:59Hey, I've been called a lot of things.
10:00Animal lover, tree hugger.
10:02But never a clog.
10:04Huh?
10:05What?
10:05What are you doing to the Draco wizards?
10:07And where's my Zippy?
10:08Oh, so spunky.
10:10I like that.
10:11You know my style, Martino.
10:13I take the jewels of nature to make fabulous accessories.
10:18And this fall, these precious gems will be frozen in suspended animation and crafted
10:24into luxurious living jewelry.
10:29Dazzling, no?
10:30No.
10:31I'd describe it as mean, cruel, unkind, or maybe twisted.
10:34Those lizards are living creatures with feelings and thoughts and maybe even plans for the weekend.
10:41You've got to let them go!
10:44Oh, I love his passion.
10:48Zippy.
10:49Oh, that is elegant design.
10:51The angular features of lizard and man.
10:53Oh, a man's collection!
10:56Martino, my darling, I have plans for you and your little friend.
11:01Uh-oh, Zippy.
11:02Something tells me we're in real trouble.
11:05Martin!
11:06Martin, can you hear me?
11:08Ah, maybe he can't.
11:10The trees in the Indonesian rainforest are some of the tallest in the world.
11:15But I've got to get up there and look for clues.
11:19I've got it!
11:20Aviva, let's activate the Tortuga wings and fly the HQ up to the canopy.
11:24Well, we could, except we can't.
11:27I pulled out all the solar panels this morning.
11:30Nobody told me we'd have to fly in an hour.
11:32Tortuga is terrestrial today.
11:34And so am I.
11:36Grounded.
11:37Huh?
11:41Eggs!
11:42And they're hatching!
11:47Mm-hmm.
11:48Mm-hmm.
11:50Hmm.
11:51Now, my Martino.
11:53Wear this!
11:55Are you kidding me?
11:56Those aren't my kind of duds.
11:59Don't disappoint me, darling.
12:02No way are you getting me into that costume.
12:05Oh, no.
12:07Oh, yeah.
12:12Unless you have some kind of mannequin pose, Bean.
12:16Now, let me help you into this.
12:18While your little friend takes a trip through my jewelry-making machine.
12:32Now, let's see what you are.
12:36A Draco.
12:38Eggs are laid in that moist, loamy soil.
12:4132 days later, they hatch.
12:43What's the first thing you guys do?
12:48Climb off the ground to get away from the predators.
12:52Like wild pigs and clouded leopards.
12:54To survive, Dracos have to get into the trees.
12:57Guided by instinct, they climb.
13:00Instinct?
13:01That's it.
13:02They don't learn it.
13:03They don't think about it.
13:04They just do it.
13:05They climb.
13:07Wait up, guys.
13:10Thanks to you, I'm me again.
13:12Chris the climbing wildcrat.
13:14Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
13:17Nobody's picked out my clothes for me since I was five.
13:20And see your little lizard friend makes a lovely headband.
13:24How could you do that?
13:26You've taken all the life out of them.
13:28There's no zip in Zippy.
13:31Now strike a pose.
13:33I don't want to.
13:35What?
13:39Prowl the catwalk.
13:40Now swing those hips.
13:43No catwalks like this.
13:46Skin.
13:47And pose.
13:49Now smoochy face.
13:50Now silly monkey.
13:52Smoochy face.
13:54Silly monkey.
13:55Smoochy face.
13:57You will be my top model this year.
14:00I will make millions with my living lizard collection.
14:03And Martino, your new career.
14:06You will learn to love it.
14:09Oh.
14:11Hey, it looks like we're nearing the top.
14:13I can see how this kind of forest canopy gets creatures gliding here.
14:17Tall trees spread out.
14:19It would take too much energy to climb up and down and get around.
14:22To get from here to there, they glide.
14:25And I think we're nearing a launch point.
14:29Fantastic.
14:30And we're all ready.
14:31We know what gliding is and how it works, so...
14:34We do?
14:35Yeah.
14:37Yes, you do.
14:38Here.
14:39Take a piece of paper.
14:40Crumple it into a loose ball.
14:42Throw it as far as you can.
14:44It goes that far before it falls to the floor.
14:47Not too far.
14:48That's because you throw like a...
14:50Don't you say it.
14:51It's because it doesn't have any parachute-like features to keep it floating in the air longer.
14:56But if I design it like this...
14:59That's a paper airplane.
15:01Exactly.
15:02With these features, wings, to keep it from falling.
15:05That's gliding.
15:07Awesome.
15:09But the question is, what parachute-like features does the Draco lizard have for gliding?
15:14Here comes the answer.
15:16This one's ready for his first flight.
15:19Stations, everybody!
15:20If we get the secret, I can modify the creature power suit with Draco power.
15:24And I can glide through the rainforest and find Martin.
15:27We're recording.
15:28Oh, yeah.
15:29A Draco hatchling's first flight.
15:32This has never been documented before.
15:34He's getting into launch position.
15:35Head down, eyeing his landing spot.
15:38Okay, get ready.
15:39And he jumps!
15:42Unfurls his wings.
15:43Whoa, I don't believe it!
15:45His wings are ribs that stick out from his body, with skin spread in between them.
15:50Like opening a fan.
15:52Yeah, and he's dropping at a 45 degree angle.
15:56He's still falling, but the wings are catching the air, so he's moving forward while he's falling.
16:00That's gliding.
16:01That's incredible.
16:03Data capture.
16:04Okay, he's nearing the tree.
16:06Whoa!
16:08Perfect landing.
16:10Data replay.
16:12Got what I need.
16:13Rib extension into wings.
16:15That's the secret.
16:18Draco disc complete.
16:20Jimmy?
16:22Energize teleporter and zap it.
16:25Coming at you, Chris.
16:26Chris, can you touch one of those baby Dracos for DNA activation?
16:31Not a problem.
16:36Activate creature power suit.
16:45Let's do it, Draco.
16:48Swing those arms, silly monkey.
16:51Hey, Danita.
16:52I think I'm starting to feel this.
16:54You are?
16:57Yeah.
16:58You?
17:00Yeah.
17:03Oh, yeah.
17:05These clothes are so hot.
17:07I'm feeling the beat.
17:09Let me loose.
17:11I knew you would.
17:13Release him.
17:17In just a few hours, you will unveil my living lizard collection at the treetop runway.
17:24Wearing living lizards and loving it.
17:29Time to find my bro.
17:31Let's glide.
17:35Woo-hoo-hoo!
17:36This is awesome!
17:38Muscles pull on the wings, giving them steering control, so I can head right to the landing path.
17:44Wait, how do you land?
17:47I don't have the instinct.
17:49What's the technique?
17:50How do I land?
17:52Oh!
17:53Oh, not like that.
18:00Okay, I got it.
18:01More of a quick swoop up and land.
18:03Now I've just got to find out what happened to Martin.
18:11Any sign of him, Zippy?
18:13What?
18:13You don't think I was seriously digging being a model.
18:16I was just acting to trick Danita.
18:19So, I could do this.
18:25Wildcrafs, come in, quick.
18:28Martin, what in the world are you wearing?
18:31You're at a Halloween party and you didn't invite me?
18:34No, it's a fashion show and...
18:36A fashion show?
18:37What are you doing at a fashion show?
18:39I'm trying to tell you.
18:41It's Danita's fashion show and she's selling living lizard jewelry at her treetop runway in 30 minutes.
18:48Sending coordinates.
18:49Gotta go rescue-release these lizards from Madam Crazy Clothes.
18:52I just wanted to let you know in case I needed backup.
18:55Actually, Martin, don't backup.
18:58Why no backup?
18:59Because of the outfit?
19:00I don't mean no backup.
19:01I mean don't backup.
19:02Uh, look behind you.
19:12Chris!
19:13Danita, Donata's got Martin.
19:14Can you get a visual from up there?
19:16Scanning.
19:18There!
19:19Five degrees south by 120 degrees east.
19:22I'm on my way.
19:23With Draco power!
19:30You're lucky you hired my Zackbots.
19:33Best security force in the universe.
19:36Your fashion show will go seamlessly.
19:40Get it?
19:41Fashion?
19:42Seamless?
19:43Huh?
19:44Get off my stage.
19:48Welcome to the heights of fashion.
19:50Tonight, I, Danita Donata, present you my living lizard collection.
19:56For me.
20:09Hey, that's a wild rat.
20:16Oh, that's cold.
20:18Making my brother wear that outfit?
20:20Ouch.
20:21And throw that move?
20:2410,000 pairs of air.
20:25Give me 500 headbands.
20:27I want all the Draco roof buggles.
20:29But worse, making him sell living Draco lizards?
20:33At this rate, she'll sell up all the Dracos in the forest.
20:36Tonight.
20:38I've got to stop that show.
20:39Oh, if I could take out that beam controlling Martin.
20:43Oh, but it's too far.
20:45Too far for me to glide to.
20:47How am I going to get there?
20:51I would be such a better top model than that.
20:56What?
20:57The other one, too?
20:59Something's wrong here.
21:01Get him!
21:06Oh, no.
21:08Oh, yes.
21:09Zackpots are exactly what I need.
21:12I'm gliding to the creature rescue.
21:15Draco style.
21:16Woo-hoo!
21:28Oh, boy.
21:34Go, Chris!
21:38Zippy, I'm free.
21:40What?
21:46And now for you and the rest of your kind.
21:51You're much more beautiful, unfrozen, and alive.
22:02Draco's back where they belong.
22:04Oh, oh, no!
22:05I'm here!
22:06I'm here!
22:06I'm here!
22:06I'm here!
22:07I'm here!
22:07I'm here!
22:46I'm here!
22:49I'm here!
22:53I'm here!
22:55I'm here!
22:57I'm here!
22:58I'm here!
23:00I'm here!
23:01Nothing like gliding around on a moonlit night, making lizard jewelry out of tree resins and flower
23:08pigments.
23:08Now that's real attractive.
23:11And we invented a new sport.
23:16Lizard Glide! It's the height of adventuring.
23:19Did I mention I love heights?
23:21Hey Zippy, what did the Draco Lizard say to the Flying Squirrel?
23:25You want to play Glide and Seek?
23:33Gliders glide to move from tree to tree.
23:36And we're ziplining through a glider's habitat!
23:40Woohoo!
23:45Looking for the cutest gliding creature in the world!
23:57Woohoo!
24:01Martin, where'd you go?
24:03Over here, Chris. I found her.
24:07A flying squirrel.
24:10She has all the features and abilities a glider needs.
24:14She's light, only weighs about as much as a doughnut.
24:17Lightness, plus the parachute-like feature, she has what it takes to glide.
24:22Fuzzy tail.
24:26Looks like it tickles.
24:27Oh yeah, and she's cute too.
24:30What does that have to do with gliding?
24:32Nothing, but you can't hang out with a flying squirrel without noticing how cute she is.
24:37A flying squirrel's parachute-like feature is the skin stretched between her front leg and her back leg.
24:43That's all the loose skin that stretches out between her legs.
24:47You see it right there?
24:49Wow!
24:52Oh! Hey, she's ready to do her gliding thing!
