02:43Mystery of the Flamingo's Pink
02:51Aviva, wake up!
02:53You gotta see this!
02:57Que pasa?
02:59Can you believe that pink color?
03:01It's gorgeous, right?
03:03It's amazing!
03:04What a beautiful pink!
03:07Aviva!
03:08You're not even looking at it!
03:10The sunrise is that way!
03:12Yeah, but the flamingos are that way!
03:17Wow!
03:25Here they are, Jimmy!
03:27This salt marsh is the home
03:29of the Caribbean Flamingo's
03:31One of the Caribbean Flamingo's
03:31One of six different Flamingos in the world!
03:34Check out that cool hooked beak
03:36The long S-shaped neck
03:39The brilliant pink feathers
03:42And the legs that...
03:44What?
03:44There's only one leg?
03:45It's a one-legged Flamingo!
03:48It's a one-legged Flamingo!
03:48Jimmy, it's okay!
03:50He has two legs!
03:52See?
03:53Flamingos like to stand on one leg
03:55It's efficient because it uses less energy
03:57And they even sleep standing on one leg
04:01Woo-hoo!
04:03Check it out!
04:03I call it the Flamingo pose
04:06This takes years to perfect it
04:08Whoa!
04:10Ah!
04:11And you need more practice!
04:15Yeah, this water is salty
04:18Ooh!
04:20Hey, where are you going?
04:23Oh, to her nest!
04:25They make them out of mud
04:27with a few stones, some straw, and feathers
04:30And look!
04:31One super cute chick!
04:34Hello, little buddy!
04:36But he's white!
04:38Isn't he supposed to be pink?
04:39And his beak is straight!
04:41You sure he's a Flamingo?
04:44Positive!
04:45Those features will come as he grows up!
04:47I'm gonna name you...
04:50Pinkster!
04:50You'll grow into the name!
04:53Both the mom and dad work together
04:56to raise their chick
04:57Taking care of the egg
04:58Protecting the chick
05:00And feeding them
05:05Really?
05:06What?
05:07I'm hungry!
05:09Well, too many chips aren't good for you
05:10Try an apple or something
05:13No thanks!
05:15Chips for me!
05:16I know!
05:17He's a loud muncher
05:22Okay, Aviva
05:23Feather loaded in DNA analyzer
05:26Perfect!
05:27That'll give me all the genetic coding I need
05:29to start a Flamingo Creature Power Suit
05:33Make sure you put plenty of pink in those suits
05:35Forget the blue and the green this time
05:37For sure!
05:39You can't have a Flamingo Creature Power Suit
05:41without the pink
05:44Pink!
05:50Pink!
06:12Oh, yes!
06:12Goodies are in this water
06:13But I know I'm gonna bottle the stuff
06:16and make a lot of moolah!
06:19Old Zanky will be jealous!
06:22Heh heh heh heh heh!
06:26Whoa, Pinkster!
06:28You stand on one leg better than me!
06:30And you're only a week old!
06:32Ooh, here's your mom!
06:34Martin, check it out!
06:36It's feeding time!
06:38Yeah, she makes a milky liquid in her esophagus
06:41and feeds it to her chick!
06:43Whoa, that's so cool!
06:45Excuse me!
06:46Pardon me!
06:47Coming through!
06:48Excuse us!
06:49Uh, excuse us!
06:50Sorry to bother you!
06:51Don't mean to ruffle any feathers!
06:53Guys!
06:54We did it!
06:55Flamingo Creature Power Disk
06:57ready for action!
06:59Yes!
07:00All right!
07:01Is it going to be pink?
07:03Of course!
07:05Woohoo!
07:05Yes!
07:06Me first!
07:09It's mine!
07:10Whoa!
07:11No!
07:11It's mine!
07:12Got it!
07:13Ha ha!
07:14Okay, you first!
07:16Thanks, bro!
07:17Insert Flamingo Power Disk!
07:19Touch Flamingo!
07:20And activate Flamingo Power!
07:25Flamingo Power!
07:36Oh, I feel so white!
07:41A white flamingo?
07:43Who ever heard of a white flamingo?
07:46This is a horrible creature power suit malfunction!
07:50What happened to the pink?
07:51We've got a creature mystery here, team!
07:55The mystery of the flamingo's pink!
07:59Hey, flamingo guys!
08:00Mind if I join ya?
08:01Oh, come on, guys!
08:03Aw, okay, so I'm not pink!
08:05But everything else is flamingo-y!
08:07I got the neck and legs!
08:10Ooh, and check this out!
08:11Standing on one leg has never been easier!
08:14That's because flamingos actually have a locking mechanism in their leg!
08:19Check this out!
08:20With this neck, I can hang my head all the way down to the water!
08:25Whoa, things look pretty different from down here!
08:27And the world is upside down!
08:31Oh, put that upside down thing to use, bro!
08:33The flamingos are doing their classic upside down feeding!
08:38They swing their heads back and forth through the water as they walk slowly along!
08:43This flamingo beak is even built for upside down feeding!
08:47It's smaller on the top and bigger on the bottom!
08:50The opposite of many bird beaks!
08:54Except when upside down, then everything's right-side up!
08:59Yeah, I think I've got the move down!
09:01But, uh, what exactly am I after?
09:04Not sure!
09:05Flamingos are filter feeders, so it's something small!
09:08But we need to get a closer look!
09:11Deploy Miniatrizer!
09:15Miniatrize!
09:18Sure you want to go that mini?
09:20Got to!
09:22To find out what's in here!
09:23Watch this dive, bro!
09:25Woo-hoo!
09:27Uh-oh!
09:28Uh-oh!
09:29I got a little knotted up here!
09:33Oh, wow!
09:34This water is really salty!
09:37This mineral-filled water is called brine!
09:41Mmm!
09:42Blue-green algae!
09:43Not many things can live in water this salty, but this algae can!
09:48And brine shrimp!
09:50Hey, guys!
09:52You must love it in here!
09:54You pretty much have the place to yourself, because it's too salty for most fish and other
09:59predators to survive in!
10:01And you ate the algae!
10:03Nice little life you got here!
10:05Okay, quick scan, and...
10:08Shrimpy Chris to Aviva!
10:10Come in, Aviva!
10:11Aviva here!
10:12Go, Shrimpy Chris!
10:13I'm sending scans of the creatures I found here!
10:16Algae and shrimp!
10:17You can...
10:18Ah!
10:18Look out!
10:19Yeah!
10:20Feeding flamingos!
10:21They're going after the algae and the brine shrimp!
10:24Uh-oh!
10:24We're getting sucked in!
10:26Whoa!
10:27Whoa!
10:27He got us into his beak by moving his tongue back and forth quickly and creating a suction!
10:34Whoa!
10:35Up we go!
10:37Look at that tongue!
10:41Whoa!
10:42The little creatures get pushed towards the outside of the beak and get caught in hair-like
10:47plates called lamellet!
10:48Oh, no!
10:49He's about to swallow!
10:52Gotta get out of here!
10:54I'm safe!
10:56Woo!
10:57Just missed being a flamingo snack!
11:00All right, I'm out of here!
11:02See ya!
11:06Did you get that, Martin?
11:07Got all that, dude!
11:09But, uh, now, if I can only get out of this knot!
11:12I can help!
11:16It's really...
11:18Sigh!
11:19Whoa!
11:22Yes!
11:23Thanks, Jimmy!
11:26Don't mention it!
11:28Okay, now, to try out the old filter system.
11:31Ready, Pinkster?
11:33Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,
11:39Hey!
11:40You can even stomp the ground to stir up more shrimp from the mud?
11:44Let me give it a try.
11:45Let me give it a try.
11:46Like this!
11:47Oh, this is not as easy for me as it looks!
12:12I...
12:14Carotenoids?
12:14Sounds like what you get when you cross a carrot with an asteroid.
12:18Not exactly!
12:19It's a type of pigment, something responsible for color.
12:22And the flamingo's natural foods are loaded with the stuff.
12:26Oh!
12:27That sounds like more than a coincidence.
12:30And look, if I isolate the carotenoids in a solution...
12:35Pink!
12:36A pinkish pigment!
12:38We just might be onto something here.
12:41Hey, Martin!
12:42How's the feeding going?
12:44Well, working on it.
12:45Well, pick up the pace.
12:47That suit needs to absorb brine shrimp.
12:49Lots of them!
12:50Brine shrimp?
12:51Really?
12:52Yeah, they just might be the secret to the mystery of the flamingo's pinks.
12:57Okay, Pinkster.
12:58Let's get flamingo-ing!
13:05I am a brine shrimp collecting machine!
13:13Why are you slowing down?
13:14Keep going!
13:16Can I stop now?
13:18We need more shrimp.
13:19Gotta get those carotenoids.
13:20Oh, shrimp.
13:24Oh, shrimp.
13:28Must eat shrimp.
13:31Must eat shrimp.
13:35Mmm, you're doing good.
13:38Keep going, Martin.
13:41So many shrimp, I'm stuffed.
13:44Martin, your face!
13:46It's pink!
13:47Pink?
13:48Really?
13:49It worked!
13:50My feathers are pink!
13:52Hooray!
13:54I'm pink.
13:55You're pink.
13:55We're all pink!
13:56Pink, pink, pink, pink, pink!
13:59Awesome!
14:01Wow!
14:02The pink color really does come from what the flamingo eats.
14:06Exactly.
14:06What you eat is really important, Jimmy.
14:09So flamingos need to eat right to stay healthy and pink.
14:13For them, that means brine shrimp, algae, things with carotenoids, of course.
14:20And people need to eat right to stay healthy, too.
14:23Oh, so easy on the junk food.
14:26Hey, I have something important to do.
14:28You are what you eat.
14:31Flamingos are proof.
14:33You are what you eat!
14:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:36Oh, yeah!
14:37Woo-hoo!
14:38Loop-de-loop brine shrimp style!
14:41Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:42So, you guys are the secret to the flamingos pink.
14:46Mystery solved.
14:48I love you guys.
14:50I do too, Chris.
14:52They deserve to have a creature power suit built in their honor.
14:55Sure do.
14:56Look at all their feathery legs.
14:58Oh, they're great for swimming through the water.
15:01And for tickling, too.
15:03Okay.
15:04Okay, I give.
15:05I give.
15:08And they have eyes on stalks.
15:11Kind of like lobsters.
15:12Some people call these guys sea monkeys.
15:15But they don't look like monkeys at all.
15:18No, they don't.
15:19At all.
15:21Okay, I'm grabbing some design tablets.
15:23Don't move.
15:25Not going anywhere, Aviva.
15:26I'm hanging with these guys for a while.
15:29A brine shrimp holiday.
15:37Huh?
15:38Whoa!
15:44All right.
15:46So, let's get started on this brine shrimp suit.
15:49Chris?
15:50Chris?
15:51Oh, well.
15:52At least you guys stuck around.
15:54Ah!
15:54Hang on, guys!
15:56I think we got sucked into some kind of tube!
16:00Ah!
16:01But where does it leave tube?
16:03Oh, well.
16:04Heh, heh, heh.
16:05Yes, yes.
16:07The perfect briny broth.
16:09Oh, no!
16:11Gourmand!
16:12What is he up to?
16:14I want whatever tasty morsels and minerals are in this water.
16:19Let the filters run day and night!
16:22Heh, heh, heh.
16:23What?
16:24No!
16:32Ah!
16:33Mayday!
16:33Mayday!
16:34Help!
16:35Mayday!
16:37Ah!
16:38What?
16:38What's happening?
16:40The flamingos!
16:41What about the flamingos?
16:43They're white!
16:45They've lost their pink!
16:48Me too!
16:49Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
16:51What is going on?
16:52Why are they all white?
16:54Oh, not again.
16:56Now it's the mystery of the disappearance of the flamingos pink.
17:01Through the filter systems and into the jar,
17:04My briny broth, concentrate how delicious you are.
17:09Easy to use, just add water and then add it to any meal.
17:14Then do it again.
17:16Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:22Uh-oh.
17:24Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
17:35ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:35Oh.
17:37Full of tasty morsels.
17:40Morsels?
17:41For you?
17:42No way.
17:43For flamingos, maybe, but not you.
17:47Flamingos need their natural food, their nourishment.
17:50You guys are part of the natural order.
17:52You need to be living free and in the wild
17:55Shrimpy Chris to Tortuga
17:56Come in Tortuga
17:57It's Chris here
17:59Oh hey bro
18:01Done with your brine shrimp holiday?
18:03We've got trouble with gourmands
18:05And the gourmand trouble
18:07Is he's taking all the shrimp
18:09We've got trouble with the flamingos too
18:11They're white
18:13Ugh, double whammy
18:15Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
18:18I think we're all thinking the same thing
18:20The flamingos aren't getting
18:22The nourishment they need
18:23Because gourmand is taking all the shrimp
18:26Without the shrimp
18:27We'd lose our pig
18:28We need a plan
18:30Let's all huddle
18:35There, loaded and ready to go
18:39Oh no, he's gonna take off
18:41Where are they?
18:45Not so fast gourmand
18:47You?
18:48Yeah, me and my flamingos
18:50Guys, you can't take all the brine shrimp
18:53Brine shrimp?
18:55Is that what's in the water?
18:57Among other things
18:58You can't take them
18:59The flamingos need those brine shrimp too
19:03Flamingos?
19:04Those aren't flamingos
19:05They're not even pink
19:07Exactly
19:08Because you took away the food that makes the flamingos pink
19:13Food that makes them pink
19:15That's a good one
19:16Ridiculous
19:19What's that?
19:20Look
19:21There's a pink gorilla
19:22What?
19:23Where?
19:24Wait
19:25I don't see it
19:27I think he ate your shrimp
19:35He obviously doesn't know about carotenoids
19:39After him, guys
19:43Even with the long legs and neck
19:45Flamingos are awesome flyers
19:47Come on, let's keep up with them, guys
19:50Huh?
19:54So they think they can catch me
19:57I can outfly those skinny birds
20:02Better hurry with our plan, Aviva
20:04Gormand's trying to make a getaway
20:06I'm done
20:07Printing disc now
20:11Brine shrimp disc ready for teleportation
20:14Jimmy, catch
20:16Energize
20:17And stop it
20:22Yes
20:23Insert brine shrimp power disc
20:26Touch brine shrimp
20:27Hey, that's easy
20:29And activate brine shrimp power
20:47Oh-ho
20:48Shrimpy Chris isn't so shrimpy anymore
20:50Huh?
20:52Autopilot?
20:53Oh
20:53What's going on here?
20:55What are you?
20:57A brine shrimp
20:58The ones captured in your briny broth constantly?
21:02Huh?
21:04Well, no one said they had to look good to taste good
21:07Now, get off my plane, you little shrimp
21:10Well, I too
21:11But I'm taking my friends
21:15Oh, no, you don't
21:19Incoming!
21:20Get ready to catch, guys
21:23Got it, Chris
21:25Use your necks
21:26Yeah!
21:28Woo-hoo!
21:28Way to flamingos!
21:31Keep them coming, brother
21:32Underway, bro
21:34Gotcha!
21:35Oh, not for long
21:36Brine shrimp legs tickle
21:43Heads up!
21:44Yeah!
21:45Nice one, gang
21:47Whoops!
21:58Last ones!
22:02Nothing to tickle with now
22:04Uh-oh
22:05Never underestimate a brine shrimp
22:09Feather arm tickle power
22:11All ticklers engaged
22:16I give, I give!
22:18I told you
22:19You never underestimate the best tickle arms on the planet
22:22Huh?
22:23See you, gourmand
22:24Woo-hoo!
22:26I'll get you next time, wild crack crew time
22:33Thanks, Martin
22:34No problem, Chris
22:36Back to the salt marsh
22:41Well, that's a creature mission accomplished
22:44All the brine shrimp are safely back home in the salt marsh
22:49And the flamingos have their healthy food source back
22:52We're pink again
22:55Pinkster and all the chicks have nutritious food to grow up healthy, strong, and pink
23:01And I ditch the chips for a whole bunch of foods that are healthy for a human body
23:06Gotta give my body what it needs
23:08That's great, Jimmy
23:09Hey, I just made a few fun adjustments to the programming of Martin's suit
23:13Try some, Martin
23:15Oh, okay
23:16How about grapes?
23:20Ha-ha!
23:21Wow!
23:22Cool!
23:23Check this out
23:26Like that one, bro?
23:28Sure do
23:28That's the best one yet
23:32Well, it's just a fun way to show what the flamingos taught us
23:37You are what you eat
23:39Where are the blueberries?
23:43So flamingos get that amazing pink color from the food they eat
23:48And that special beak gives them the
23:51Before they leave on the food they eat
