00:02On the continent of North America,
00:05in the temperate habitats of the Great North,
00:08we're here in owl country.
00:10It's us, the Krat Brothers.
00:12I'm Chris.
00:13And I'm Martin.
00:14And almost everywhere is owl country,
00:16because owls live on every continent
00:19in the creature world except Antarctica.
00:21There are about 268 different species of owl.
00:25Let's check out a few of them.
00:27Like the northern hawk owl,
00:28who hunts mostly during the day,
00:30and the snowy owl from the Arctic tundra.
00:33Or this guy, the screech owl.
00:36One of the smallest owls in North America.
00:40And look, staying still and being the color of the bark
00:43is a perfect camouflage.
00:45They'll sit motionless all day long,
00:47waiting for night to fall so they can go hunting.
00:53This is a barn owl.
00:55They live all around the world,
00:57and they're masters of sound.
00:59Their feathers have fluff.
01:01And it's almost like a muffler,
01:03so that when they fly, there's no sound at all.
01:08Meet the barn owl.
01:11Oh, and that round face.
01:13That's called a facial disc.
01:15It helps collect sound waves for the owl's hearing.
01:18I love the look of the barred owl's face.
01:21This is a great horned owl.
01:24A fierce hunter of the night
01:26and a top predator in North America.
01:29They are designed for hunting,
01:31and they hunt big prey.
01:33Everything up from a little mouse
01:34all the way up to rabbits, skunks, and even geese.
01:39They are powerful.
01:42Imagine if we could creature adventure
01:44with the owls of the world.
01:46Imagine if we had owl power.
01:48What if?
01:56On adventure with the coolest creatures.
01:58From the oceans to the trees.
02:01The brothers' cracks are going places you never get to see.
02:05Hanging with their creature friends.
02:07Get ready, it's the hour.
02:09We are going to sing some animals today

02:40Owl Odyssey
02:43Missed me!
02:54There's lots of snow in these woods today!
02:56Perfect for a snowball fight!
03:09Hey! I'm not a target!
03:12Sorry, Cokie!
03:14I'm almost done fixing this rocket thruster, then I'll be ready to rumble.
03:17But I could use some extra hands.
03:20At your service, extra hands!
03:23Actually, I could use some extra tiny hands.
03:27No problem! Miniaturizer ready for action!
03:34Miniaturize!
03:38Now you can help Cokie!
03:43Four extra tiny hands at your service!
03:46Awesome!
03:47So guys, grab those chips and hold them in place while I laser them.
03:53Whoa!
03:56Uh-oh!
03:59Oh no!
04:01Now function!
04:13Where'd everybody go?
04:17We're shooting clear around the globe!
04:20Hang on!
04:21We're heading back down!
04:23We're hanging!
04:35Where are we?
04:37I have no idea!
04:40Nothing works now!
04:41No GPS!
04:42No power!
04:43Nothing!
04:44And we have no gear!
04:46No creature pods!
04:48No power disks!
04:50Just the miniaturizer!
04:52So we're stranded in a faraway land!
04:55More like a faraway ocean!
04:59Hang on!
05:00There!
05:01I see land!
05:02Yes!
05:03See?
05:04Told you!
05:05A faraway land!
05:07Oh, you got lucky!
05:09Luck is what we'll need if we're going to make it to shore with these engines!
05:18I've got to find out where they are and go pick them up!
05:21No delays!
05:24Huh?
05:25I must be hungrier than I thought!
05:28Oh!
05:29Uh, hi!
05:31Hmm!
05:32What's a little delay?
05:34I can do this later!
05:42A bear's taken over the Tratuga!
05:45And I'm out in the cold!
05:50Anybody see a clue where we are?
05:55Hmm...
05:56Huh?
05:56An owl!
05:58All right!
05:59Where do owls live?
06:01They live on every continent in the world!
06:04Except Antarctica!
06:06Uh, so that doesn't really narrow it down much!
06:09It's true!
06:10They live in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania!
06:16They all have owls!
06:17Wow!
06:18Owls are a super successful group of animals!
06:21Yeah!
06:21They live in all kinds of habitats!
06:23From icy tundra of the Arctic, to deserts in Africa, and South America!
06:28All different kinds!
06:30Okay, well, what kind of owl is this?
06:33That'll tell us where we are!
06:35There are about 268 species of owl in the world!
06:40So we're not exactly sure!
06:42But, it looks big and powerful!
06:45Oh, great!
06:46That's all you've got?
06:47Looks powerful?
06:49Yeah!
06:49It's one of those rare, powerful owls!
06:52Ha ha ha ha!
06:56It's after something!
07:02A koala!
07:04But no!
07:06Don't let it attack a koala!
07:12Nice escape, little guy!
07:17Well, that explains where we are!
07:20Australia!
07:21And it also explains who the owl is!
07:24I thought you already ID'd it!
07:26A powerful owl, remember?
07:28Ha ha ha!
07:30It is!
07:32It is what?
07:33A powerful owl!
07:35No, it's name!
07:37Powerful owl!
07:38It's actually named The Powerful Owl!
07:42It's actually named The Powerful Owl!
07:42You're kidding!
07:44Ha ha ha!
07:45No, it's true!
07:47Ugh, I hate when that happens!
07:50You got lucky!
07:51noted...
08:01em...
08:02oceanic
08:02Ow, man!
08:04He's moved in and taken over!
08:08He's moved in and taken over!
08:09Oh!
08:10Oh!
08:10Not you too!
08:12Oh, not my cherry pie!
08:17Okay, the Tortuga is here in North America,
08:20and we're all the way over here in Australia.
08:23So that means we have a long journey home,
08:26and the Tortuga is damaged.
08:28Well, we've got to work with what we've got.
08:30Grab some tools and let's get started.
08:43Whoo!
08:44All right!
08:46Whoo!
08:49Then let the Odyssey begin.
08:52Odyssey? What's that exactly?
08:54It's a long journey home, and I'm sure it won't be easy.
08:58And won't go as planned.
08:59And isn't that exciting?
09:01Like I said, let the Odyssey begin.
09:05Whoo-hoo!
09:24Land ho!
09:27Huh? Really? Where?
09:31Let me see!
09:32It is! It really is!
09:35Home! It could be home!
09:43Okay.
09:44Well, this doesn't seem like home.
09:47Nope.
09:48I doubt we'll see any familiar faces here.
09:51Well, that's a familiar face.
09:54It really is a familiar face.
09:56It's Hipster!
09:58Yeah!
09:59Hey, Hipster!
10:00Aw, Hipster!
10:02It really is good to see you.
10:04You're still as cute as ever.
10:06And that makes us officially in Africa.
10:10And his family is still as big and tough as ever.
10:14We're floating straight towards them!
10:17And that bull does not look happy.
10:23Uh-oh!
10:24I wish we had the hippo sub.
10:30Don't move!
10:37Oh, no!
10:38Hippo attack!
10:49He's not sure where we went.
10:51Martin's idea worked.
10:52Great thinking, Martin.
10:54Hmm?
10:54Yeah, I figured it was a job for the swimming brother.
10:57We're safe-sized now to sail right on through.
11:02Um, not exactly.
11:04This size isn't safe either.
11:07Don't move!
11:08Stay still!
11:09Huh?
11:10Why is the guy who can't stop moving telling us to stay still?
11:14Look up!
11:14It's an owl!
11:15Uh-oh!
11:18Anyone else have an idea?
11:20Duck!
11:20Duck!
11:21Ah!
11:32A fish?
11:33What kind of an owl catches fish?
11:36A Pelz fishing owl.
11:38That's new.
11:39Unbelievable!
11:41An owl that eats fish!
11:43Yeah!
11:44Let's get back to normal size.
11:51Pelz fishing owls are great hunters.
11:55They use that incredible owl eyesight to catch fish, seeing tiny ripples on the surface of the water, even at
12:03night.
12:06Awesome catch!
12:10And check out the eyes!
12:15Owls have eyes the shape of cylinders.
12:18Most animals, and us too, have eye balls.
12:21So we can move it around like this.
12:24But since an owl's eyes are cylinders, they can't do that.
12:29Their eyes are fixed.
12:30So they turn their heads instead, with their amazing ability to swivel their heads about three quarters of the way
12:38around.
12:39We can't even come close to that!
12:42Amazing!
12:42I had no idea there were so many odd owls.
12:46It seems like our odyssey is an owl odyssey, to be exact.
12:50The Great Owl Odyssey!
12:53I like it!
12:54That's two continents and two amazing owls I never knew existed.
12:58Australia, with its koala-eating powerful owl, and Africa, with its fish-eating Pelz fishing owl.
13:08Happy hunting!
13:11Um, okay, now you're really overstaying your welcome.
13:15Huh?
13:16A great horned owl?
13:18I don't remember inviting you either.
13:21Great idea, Viva!
13:24Converting the rocket pod into a hot air balloon!
13:27Thanks!
13:28Hmm, this coastline must be another continent.
13:31But which one?
13:32I'm guessing South America.
13:34How do you know?
13:36Because there are some burrowing owls living in armadillo holes.
13:40But I thought burrowing owls lived in North America.
13:44They're in South America, too?
13:45My favorite daytime owl!
13:48It's weird to think of an owl that likes daytime.
13:52They're not the only ones.
13:54Snowy owls from the Arctic like daytime, too.
13:56And the northern hawk owl.
13:59But the burrowing owls are the best!
14:03They're calling us!
14:06Oh, I want to go to the owl!
14:09Got to go to the owl!
14:10We can't!
14:11But I have to go!
14:13They're calling!
14:16Sorry, Chris.
14:17You just can't answer the call of the owl today.
14:20Bro, help, please!
14:22They're burrowing owls!
14:24I get it, bro.
14:25Not so fast!
14:27Miniaturize!
14:30Hey!
14:30What are you doing?
14:31Hey!
14:31Stop!
14:32Hey!
14:32Come on!
14:33You've got to understand, guys.
14:34We just can't stop!
14:36We've got to get home!
14:38Need some help?
14:42Oh, wow!
14:44Look!
14:45Huh?
14:46What?
14:47Look at what?
14:49Huh?
14:50Where'd he go?
14:51He's trying to distract us.
14:53Let's keep working.
14:56Oh, amazing!
14:58You barn owls fly so silently, you're impossible to hear.
15:03It's like you're not even there.
15:06See?
15:07Nobody can hear you!
15:08So I'm going to name you...
15:11Nobody!
15:13It's those owl feathers.
15:15With those soft downy edges that muffle the sound.
15:19Oh, most birds make sounds when they fly.
15:24But you owls fly without a sound.
15:27Those special feathers give you the power to sneak up on your prey.
15:31To prey, it's like nobody is there.
15:33Right, nobody?
15:40What's wrong with you?
15:42I was attacked!
15:45Attacked by who?
15:46Nobody!
15:48Nobody?
15:49Yeah, yeah, nobody!
15:51It's gotta be somebody!
15:53No, it's nobody!
15:55Then nobody attacked you.
15:57Yeah, nobody did it!
15:59Okay, was it nobody or somebody?
16:02Nobody!
16:03Ugh!
16:04Nobody is no one!
16:06No, it's nobody!
16:08There!
16:08That's nobody!
16:11Where's nobody?
16:13Well, I think they're both getting loopy!
16:15We gotta get home!
16:16And fast!
16:18Uh-oh!
16:19The wind is whipping up!
16:21Oh no!
16:22We've flown into a storm!
16:23Hang on!
16:24No!
16:26Ahhhh!
16:31Uh...
16:32Where are we?
16:34Well, we're back in the northern hemisphere!
16:37Ooh, and back to winter!
16:39the boreal forest and a great gray owl that's a beautiful owl oh and their
16:53hearing is top-notch but how they don't even have ears see this owl has ears
17:01that one doesn't those aren't ears they're just longer feathers probably
17:06for appearance or camouflage and owls ears are holes underneath the feathers and
17:12lots of owls like the great gray have one ear higher up and one ear lower down that
17:18way sound reaches each ear at slightly different times and the owl brain has
17:23special mapping capabilities that can use those times to compute and pinpoint
17:28exactly where the sound is coming from it's called triangulation hmm and I've
17:35got something I've gotta do I think I know what she's up to
17:39yep what's Martin up to yeah I thought it was too quiet
17:46cookie he was miniaturized remember that means he could have been tossed anywhere
17:51and we wouldn't know we gotta find my bro well that was a crazy landing oh I think I'm really
18:04deep under
18:04the snow oh hello full nice tunnel you built uh which way to the surface I'm
18:11right behind you keep digging Koki hey pal oh you gotta love this face I do yeah see
18:21how the feathers make an owl's whole face the shape of a dish like a sonar dish to
18:27collect sound and direct it to their ears which are under there that's just another
18:33thing that makes owls deadly hunters of the night deadly hunters oh she hears
18:45something under the snow is it of all is it Martin
18:50hey what's happening no no no yikes another owl a Eurasian Eagle Owl she's after us
19:01is this how my owl odyssey ends that other owl is massive Eurasian Eagle Owls will eat anything
19:11even other owls
19:19gotcha you're safe thanks but she isn't
19:24oh go go go oh yes she's out of here
19:30Eurasian Eagle Owls are pretty impressive one of the largest owls in the world and a real predator
19:38hunting deer foxes weasels birds hogs these owls are truly fierce well this rocket pod isn't it's
19:47officially demolished now we're really stuck or not huh I've been so inspired by these owls that I've
19:55used the last bit of battery power in my MIK to make one last disc it should have enough power
20:01to print
20:02the disc so fingers crossed print one Eurasian Eagle Owl power disc oh way to go Aviva looks like it's
20:14my
20:14size bro oh insert Eurasian Eagle Owl power disc touch Eagle Owl and activate owl powers
20:39wow I feel strong powerful and ready to fly then let's head home
20:53miniaturize climb aboard hey thanks for your help I'll see you later come guys hang on
21:11Jimmy Z we're home is that could it be yahoo it's you it's really you happy day
21:31but bad news there's been a takeover they moved in after you left oh no our home isn't ours anymore
21:41that's nothing that Eurasian Eagle Owl powers can't handle right bro let's find out come on
21:52powerful talons gotcha incredible eyesight and hearing
22:07silent flight
22:14party's over head home everybody
22:21not sound sorry but you get the point we just need our place back
22:32you'll be back asleep and happy in no time
22:36home sweet home
22:41what an amazing owl odyssey it wasn't easy getting back but we learned a
22:47lot about owls all around the world like the koala hunting powerful owl in Australia
22:53I left the pels fishing owl in Africa too don't forget the day loving underground living burrowing
23:01owls and the silent flying barn owls we saw in South America and in the north of Europe and Asia
23:07the
23:08great gray owl and Eurasian Eagle Owl and don't forget about the great horn owl who visited the
23:14Tortuga here in North America and those just scratched the surface there are about 268 species out there what better
23:24way to search for owls than owl power
23:26guys we just got home the creature mission the search for cool owls never ends the owl odyssey continues
23:41so owls are one of the coolest groups of birds in the creature world all owls share common owl features
23:48but each species has a special character and unique traits so let's go meet some more
23:54this is a Eurasian eagle owl one of the largest and most powerful owls in the entire world
24:04they're a relative of the great horned owl but much bigger and they live all over Europe and Asia
24:10these are the weapons of the owl the talons the gripping power of these feet is incredible up to five
24:19times a human's gripping power
24:22they're so big and powerful these guys can even hunt red foxes
24:28last winter we checked out the short-eared owl what a cool owl they love the open spaces that's where
24:37we found them
24:37and the amazing thing was this owl roosts in groups which is really unusual for owls you think of owls
24:46as a nighttime creature right
24:47but these short-eared owls they like to be active in daylight hours the early morning and the late afternoon
24:54that's when they're actively hunting one thing we found out is when a short-eared owl catches a vole it
25:01swallows it whole
25:03on that same trip last winter we saw another very different owl
25:10this is a saw wet owl they are so cute they're one of the smallest owls in north america saw
25:18wet owls of course have an excellent sense of hearing
25:21that's because they hunt at night when it's dark they can listen for their prey and they have adaptations
25:27that are special for it they have what's called asymmetrical ears so one ear is down lower the other
25:35ear is up higher and that helps them zero in on their prey no matter where in the world you
25:42live there are
25:43always cool owls to check out so get out in the wild to meet your owl neighbors keep on creature
25:50adventuring
25:50we'll see you on the creature trail
