You were right, Chris.
He was escaping the predator, that great white shark.
The octo just said, eat this, and shot a cloud of ink
into the great white's face to mask his escape.
He didn't only take off to escape.
His ink has chemicals that are poisonous, even to him.
Oh, it did a super job at irritating the shark's eyes
so the octopus could get away.
Oh, add an ink defense to the octopod of Eva?
Oh, yeah.
We need an ink defense.
How's that going to help us find the suits?
The octopus has it for a reason, so the octopod should too.
It worked great for him because the shark is gone.
I spoke too soon.
The shark must think we're an octopus.
He's chewing on us.
Oh, no.
We're going down with no way up.
No better time to test my jet propulsion feature than now.
Way to go, Eva.
Awesome.
Thanks, guys.
Oh, look how fast he skitters.
I'm going to call him Skitter.
Any lizard could be called Skitter,
and this guy does way more than Skitter.
For one, he walks on water.
Oh, you're right, Chris.
I need to come up with something that's all about being
a basilisk.
They munch fruit and gobble up bugs.
So that means a basilisk is an omnivore,
eating a lot of different things.
But isn't it dangerous to hang out
in the open on a branch with so many predators around?
We're about to find out.
Eagle, 2 o'clock.
It's a harpy eagle.
A harpy?
A harpy eagle has the longest talons of any bird
of prey on the planet.
Talons as long as a grizzly bear's claws.
Aren't harpies known to pluck monkeys out of treetops?
Sure are.
Martin, you look kind of like a monkey holding the jobo fruit.
Maybe.
But this giant blue monkey is too big for even a harpy
to snatch.
But a basilisk lizard isn't.
I didn't even name him yet.
Oh, no.
Yikes.
Oh, that's why a basilisk can hang out like that,
because he has a quick escape.
He's walking on water.
Woo-hoo, red river.
Whoa, check out this big clawfish splashing away.
That's what I'm going to call him, Splash Claw.
Cool name.
He ran over two meters per second on the water.
That's fast.
Yeah.
Wait a second.
That's the same as eight kilometers per hour.
Humans run that fast.
You're right.
We can run that fast.
So if we do, maybe we can cross the river, too.
Hmm.
On your mark, get set, go.
Whoa.
Well, that didn't work.
Speed's important, but it's definitely not
foot speed alone that makes the basilisk walk on water.
Maybe it's the size of those wide back feet.
They're way bigger than the rest of them.
And it's those feet that he was water walking on.
Oh, another water walking trick up my sleeve.
Actually, in my backpack.
Snow cues in the rainforest.
Hey, you might be more organized,
but I'm better prepared.
On your mark, get set, go.
Well, at least we got a few more steps before we sunk.
So that's who the rhino was going for.
We were just in the way.
They're after the calf.
It's a 1,300 kilogram mega mammal
with some fancy footwork.
I've heard of tossed salad, but tossed lions?
Incoming.
That horn is a serious weapon.
Rhino defense is awesome.
Now here's what kickboxing is all about.
One male roo saying to the other,
So for kangaroos, the best kickboxer
gets to be the top roo of the mob.
I want to go near that boxing match.
One kick from those powerful hind legs
could cause a serious stomach ache.
Oh, it's a good thing kangaroos have
an extra thick layer of skin on their belly
to absorb blows like that one.
Good luck, challenger.
If you win, you'll take over as roo boss.
Roo boss wins and stays head of the mob.
Kangaroo predator.
Martin, hide.
Hit the first sign of danger.
Joeys like me head right to the safety of a pouch.
I better find one fast.
A wedge-tailed eagle.
Pouch, here I come.
Hey, I've got a joke for you.
What did the fake joey say to the wedge-tailed eagle?
Give up?
Let go of me.
Activate kangaroo pouch power.
I'm an infern crash landing.
I got you.
Nice catch, Chris.
Thanks, Martin.
Couldn't have done it without my new pouch.
Either the eagle realized I wasn't a real joey,
or he didn't like my joke.
Either way, whew.
Oh no, the roo boss is heading to the waterhole
with the dingo right on his tail.
Let's go.
Believe me, that roo boss is tough.
He'll be OK, I hope.
Whoa, roo boss is trying to grab the dingo with his arms.
It looks like he's trying to dunk him.
He's overpowering the dingo by holding him underwater.
This is unbelievable.
Kangaroos actually go to the water
and try to ground dingoes to defend themselves.
He did it, Chris.
The roo boss saved himself from the dingo.
And the dingo got away.
But I have a feeling he won't be back anytime soon.
Way to go, roo boss.
Nice, the squirrel got it.
Now he hops off, digs a hole, pushes the acorn in,
covers it with dirt.
Acorn hidden to eat later.
Yes, that's squirrel power.
So that's not the only acorn in the forest.
An oak tree can drop 23,000 acorns in the fall.
And the blue jays got one.
She flies off, finds some soft soil,
pushes the acorn into the ground.
Blue jays hide acorns.
Well, squirrels can remember where they hit the nuts
and dig them up in the winter.
Memory.
And hey, blue jays are bird brains.
For a blue jay, that's a compliment.
Because this bird brain is smarter than a squirrel.
A blue jay is so smart, she can remember
where she hit her acorns through the winter
and into next spring and come back to the exact spot
to eat it.
Oh, better memory.
You couldn't do that.
Get this, any acorn a squirrel forgets to eat
stays safely in the ground.
Then when the snow melts and the sun shines in the spring,
those acorns grow into oak trees.
That's how the gray squirrel plants the trees that feed it.
Well, any acorn a blue jay chooses not to eat
stays safely in the ground.
Then when the snow melts and the sun shines in the spring,
those uneaten acorns grow into oak trees.
That's how the blue jay plants oak forests.
Blue jays better.
Gray squirrel's greater.
Blue jay, gray squirrel, blue, gray, blue, gray.
Hmm.
Check this out.
A gray squirrel digs a fake hole to fool acorn predators
like deer and wild turkey.
Turkeys eat acorns too?
Yeah, look.
The turkey is tricked.
The squirrel buries the acorn safely over there.
Now that's clever.
