Quick post about another episode. The action takes place in Cost Rican rainforest habitats. The brothers are there because they want to check out its creatures and also because Allison has to give a report for her school on them. Needless to say, there are problems early on as the Kratts slide into a muddy river with tapirs and goof off with monkeys in the trees. Of course, this conflicts with Allison not doing well on her report and she gets flustered. Ttark suggests showing how animals work together. Then it gets serious as Chris and Martin show how acacia trees and its ants benefit in a symbiotic relationship. We learn about the balance of predator and prey with tayras and monkeys and jaguars and tapirs. Some creatures such as peckerees will fight back at predators and charge as the brothers find out. Lastly, we learn about hummingbirds and insects and how they work to pollinate flowers so that both sides get what they need. Rainforests even help to regulate our oxygen and water supplies. Unfortunately, there is some climate change ("global warming") propaganda advocated in the episode. That's all for now. Later.
