Back with another Kratts Creatures episode. This one has Chris and Martin Kratt travelling around Australia in eight days, trying to retrace the journey of a supposed Spanish explorer (Don Estabon) who supposedly did it many centuries earlier. We see the different geographical regions of the continent (which is also a country) and its many creatures: camels and kangaroos in the Outback, sea lions on the beaches, a great deal of plant and fish species in the Great Barrier Reef, cassuaries, koalas, tree-kangaroos and other creatures in the forests, and crocodiles in the rivers and seas. The brothers even visit an orphanage for joeys (baby kangaroos). They make it around Australia in time, but reveal that the Spanish explorer thing was just a joke and a pretext to explore Australia and see its creatures. Pretty ingenious if you ask me, especially considering that the two had a "journal" that was supposed to have been written by the explorer. Overall, a great episode. The only warning I should give is about the evolutionary spin regarding crocodiles being around for over 200 million years. Goodbye for now.
