FunTranscript
00:01We're here on the continent of Asia, in the southern mountains of China, where summers are hot and winters are
00:09cold.
00:10It's us, the Crad Brothers. I'm Chris. I'm Martin.
00:13And it's pretty warm in the mountains right now because it's the end of the summer.
00:17But in the winter, it gets cold here.
00:19And we're searching for a monkey that can deal with some of the coldest weather of any monkey in the
00:24world.
00:25Come on!
00:27There they are.
00:28Golden snub-nosed monkeys.
00:31Look at that golden fur.
00:33The skeleton-like noses.
00:35They have blue faces.
00:37That is one cool-looking monkey.
00:40Golden snub-nosed monkeys live together in groups called troops.
00:44There are single male troops made up of one male and a bunch of females and their young.
00:49And then there are all-male troops.
00:51This right here is an all-male troop.
00:54A mature male snub-nosed monkey has a special feature.
00:57The long hair on his back.
00:59It's like a cape.
01:00And it's really impressive to the females.
01:03Being big, being strong, being brave, and having a cape like that, that's the way a golden snub-nosed male
01:09becomes the leader of the troop.
01:12Check it out!
01:13Over there in the trees, some young ones and their moms.
01:19These golden snub-nosed monkey babies are super cute, aren't they?
01:23They stick with their mom until they're almost two years old.
01:28Moms protect the babies.
01:30Oh, and groom them too.
01:32Snub-nosed monkeys have to take care of that thick coat of fur.
01:36It's just one of the important features that will help them survive the coming winter.
01:42Imagine if we could have the golden snub-nosed monkeys' cold-weather creature powers.
01:47What if?
01:56Unadventured with the coolest creatures, from the oceans to the trees.
02:00The brothers' cracks are going places you never get to see.
02:04Hanging with their creature friends.
02:07Get ready, it's the hour.
02:09We're gonna sing some animals today with Creature Power.
02:40Golden Snub-nosed Monkey Man.
02:43We're passing high over the Daba Mountain range of China right now.
02:48So how long do you want me to circle the Himalayan foothills region anyway?
02:52Chris and Martin said they'd call us when they found something.
03:00Guys, come in.
03:02How's it going down there?
03:03No luck yet, but we're in the right place.
03:06The monkeys should be here somewhere.
03:08Are you sure there are monkeys that live down there?
03:10I mean, I'm used to seeing monkeys in warm tropical rainforests, not snowy mountains.
03:16Oh, yeah.
03:17They're down here all right.
03:19This type of monkey lives in the coldest habitat of any primate.
03:23Well, besides humans.
03:24Long winters at sub-zero temperature, snow covering the ground,
03:29and somehow these monkeys deal with it.
03:32They're the great Snub-nosed Monkeys.
03:36And we've gotta find them.
03:39Huh?
03:41Whoa.
03:43Looks like they found us.
03:45Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys.
03:49Whoa.
03:51Where?
03:52Where are they?
03:53Ah, I'm a snow monkey sundae.
03:57You look like you have blue goggles on.
04:00Hey, that's what I'm gonna call you.
04:02Blue goggle.
04:04These monkeys are so impressive.
04:07With that unique snub nose,
04:10the golden orange fur,
04:11the cool shaggy mane on this guy.
04:14Don't forget that blue face.
04:16Oh, I love that blue face.
04:19Hey, I wonder what other animals have blue faces.
04:22I can think of other blue animals,
04:24like the blue jay,
04:25blue-ringed octopus,
04:27blue whale,
04:28blue bird.
04:29But a face that blue?
04:32That's rare.
04:33But why the blue face?
04:35And don't say because he's so cold his face is turning blue.
04:39Well, who wouldn't want an ice blue face?
04:41It goes well with the golden hair,
04:43and hey,
04:44why don't I name you?
04:46Golden ice.
04:56Oh, hello.
04:58Okay, guys,
04:59can I just tell you
05:00that this is just about the most beautiful monkey I have ever seen?
05:05Seriously?
05:06Stick with them, guys.
05:07I want to make a golden snub-nosed monkey power suit.
05:10You've got to figure out all their cold-weather creature powers.
05:13Will do.
05:15Because it's colder than we thought up here.
05:18Yeah.
05:20We should have brought warmer gear.
05:23Well, I'm ready to design.
05:25What can you tell me about them?
05:29Well, a typical golden snub-nosed monkey group is made up of a male and three to five females,
05:35plus their young.
05:35Sometimes groups get together in the summer and you can have up to six hundred traveling together.
05:42But in the winter, when there's not much food around, they stick together in these small groups.
05:47Which small groups, exactly?
05:50Hey!
05:51Wait for us!
05:53Let's hope those two monkeys can keep up with the real monkeys.
05:59Loch Ness Monster?
06:01No.
06:02Unicorns?
06:03Yuck.
06:03Yetis?
06:04Hmm.
06:05What else can you find me about this yeti creature?
06:09Oh.
06:10Yeti.
06:11A legendary giant man-ape creature.
06:14Several expeditions to find the yeti have failed to bring back undisputable evidence that the creature really exists.
06:21Hmm.
06:23Ooh.
06:24Now that's my kind of creature.
06:26You know, the kind that'll make me rich.
06:29You see, if I bring back one from the wilderness, everyone will want to see it.
06:36Oh, I'll charge people tons of money just to see it for two minutes.
06:40My yeti will be the main attraction of everything.
06:45Zackbutt?
06:46I need all the information I can get about where we might find this yeti.
06:51Dig deeper in those books.
06:58Oh, no, no.
06:59I didn't mean dig literally.
07:01Ow!
07:07Okay, guys.
07:08I'm programming the thick, warm fur for dealing with the cold mountain habitat.
07:12But let's see that nose again.
07:15Th-th-th-this nose?
07:16Whoa, that's red.
07:18Getting chilly?
07:19Yeah, since human noses stick out so much, th-th-th-they get cold fast.
07:25Usually noses, fingers, and toes are the first things to get f-f-frost bite.
07:32But these guys don't have to worry about that.
07:35Their nose isn't big and fleshy, like human noses.
07:39So it's less likely to get frostbite.
07:41Huh?
07:42And their hands have short, stubby fingers with so much hair on them that it looks like they're wearing furry
07:48mittens.
07:49It sure would be nice to have those features soon.
07:55Tell me about it.
07:57Don't worry, guys.
07:58I think I've got it already.
08:01Coming at you, Jay-Z.
08:04And zap it.
08:07Thanks!
08:08Ha-ha!
08:09Hey!
08:13Don't worry, Martin.
08:14I'll get that disc back.
08:17Activate golden snub-nosed monkey power!
08:21Well, that's a mouthful.
08:30All right!
08:31I feel warm, lean, and strong, and ready to climb.
08:36Oh, sure.
08:38Rub it in.
08:40Ha!
08:40Get back here with that disc, Blue Goggle!
08:44Woo-hoo!
08:46Ha-ha-ha-ha!
08:49Not so fast, buddy!
09:02Gotcha!
09:03Ha-ha-ha!
09:05Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
09:06Whoa!
09:08Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
09:12I got you, Chris!
09:13Hang in there, brother!
09:16Whoa!
09:20Whoa!
09:21Oh! Martin, here's your desk!
09:23Hey!
09:24No way I'm missing seeing these monkeys.
09:35Besides, it's good to get out of the lab every now and then and take a break.
09:42Uh-oh! Run away, Snowball!
09:59Whoa! Those aren't my feet! Aviva, where's Martin and Bluegoggle?
10:18Chris? Aviva?
10:21Hang on, buddy.
10:24Oh, it's busted.
10:26It's smashed.
10:29Mine's gone.
10:31Uh-oh.
10:38Don't worry, Blue Goggle.
10:40I'll help you find your troop, but it's so cold.
10:44I need your cold-weather monkey powers first.
10:47Uh-oh.
10:47My creature power vest took a beating, too.
10:50But I ain't got to try it anyway.
10:51Let's hope it works, Blue Goggle.
10:54Activate cold and snub-nosed monkey power!
11:05Uh-oh.
11:06A creature power suit malfunction.
11:09Something must be really wrong with the suit's size modulation.
11:14But at least I'm a warm, snub-nosed monkey, huh?
11:17A big one, but still a snub-nosed monkey.
11:20Come on, Blue Goggle.
11:22If we climb up on top of this mountain range,
11:24we might be able to flag down the Tortuga.
11:26They must be looking for us by now.
11:38Ooh, this is not a good place to be lost.
11:44Yeah, but at least being in a warm monkey power suit makes it pretty fun.
11:48Huh?
11:49Golden Ice, it's you!
11:52Wow, they're really on the move.
11:54Maybe they're looking for Blue Goggle.
11:56He was in the runway snowball, too.
11:58Better stick with them.
11:59They know how to survive up here,
12:01and they know their way around.
12:03Let's swim.
12:05Easy for you to say.
12:11Oh, yeah, Yeti!
12:14Oh, Yeti!
12:16Oh, hello!
12:18Oh, I...
12:21No, no, I'm just...
12:34Oops.
12:35Huh, I guess people aren't used to seeing people in giant monkey power suits, huh?
12:44Temperature is dropping.
12:46Yeah, and these monkeys even know how to get through a cold night out here.
12:50They huddle together to help each other stay warm
12:53and to keep an eye out for predators, like clouded leopards.
12:58Clouded leopards?
12:59Don't worry.
13:00They wouldn't mess with a person, just a monkey.
13:03Yeah, maybe I'll just go see if we can join them.
13:07Come on, I'll try to sneak in.
13:11It's much warmer.
13:14Come on.
13:16Much better.
13:25I've been trying to contact them all night.
13:27No one's answering the creature pods.
13:29Those monkeys are pretty amazing.
13:31It's not the first time they've stayed out with the creatures all night long.
13:35No, I think something's wrong here.
13:38Breaking news.
13:40I'm here with Mr. Zach Varmatek of Varmatek Industries, who is preparing to trek up...
13:45Yes, yes, blah, blah, blah.
13:47Thank you very much.
13:48I, Zach Varmatek, will fearlessly lead an expedition into the mountains beyond
13:54and bring back the legendary Yeti Man-Ape.
13:57Okay, and sir, you have reportedly seen this Yeti?
14:02I am.
14:04I, uh...
14:04Yes, but I, Zach Varmatek, the greatest robotics inventor ever, will find him and bring him
14:12back.
14:13And everyone will have to pay big bucks to see him.
14:17So save your money, kids.
14:19Ha ha ha ha!
14:21Come on, Zach Varts!
14:24Well, there you have it.
14:26A Yeti?
14:27In these mountains?
14:29No, Jimmy.
14:30Yetis don't even exist.
14:32They're made up.
14:33How do you know?
14:34No one's ever seen one.
14:36There's never been any real evidence of them.
14:38Just stories, that's all.
14:39Well, you never know.
14:41Right.
14:41But I do know that we better start searching for Chris, Martin, and Aviva.
14:46And while we're at it, let's just keep an eye out for Zach.
14:53Wow, it's lonely being a Yeti, or at least being a giant golden snub-nosed monkey man.
15:00But I got you, Blue Goggle, and don't worry.
15:04The Tortuga is up there somewhere.
15:07At least on this ridge, we should be able to spot it.
15:20I'm so hungry.
15:22I wish we had some food with us.
15:24Where do they find food up here?
15:27Well, they have to travel far and wide to find food in this wintry landscape.
15:31So we just have to keep up.
15:37Did you hear that?
15:38That's snow monkey speak for, I found food!
15:44But what are they eating?
15:46It's lichen.
15:47You mean that dry, hard stuff that grows on rock?
15:50Isn't it a mix of fungus and bacteria?
15:53Yeah, and it has protein that helps get the monkeys through the winter.
15:57They'll even eat pine needles and bark.
16:00I love these monkeys, but I don't love what they eat in winter.
16:08Pounded leopard!
16:24Wow, Chris.
16:25You were right in the middle of a rarely seen wildlife moment.
16:30Yeah.
16:31I just followed my inner monkey instinct.
16:34That was a classic golden snub-nosed monkey group defense.
16:40Aw, I think she's saying thanks.
16:43In snub-nosed monkey troops, courage is rewarded with a higher rank.
16:48And GoldenEye sure stood up to that leopard.
16:50You didn't do too bad either.
16:52That's why she wants you to have that lichen.
16:55Oh, great.
16:56Lichen.
16:58Ugh, yum.
17:00If we make a signal in the snow,
17:03the tortuga might see it from way up in the stratosphere.
17:07Ugh!
17:11Ah-ha!
17:12The yeti!
17:13I found him!
17:14Come on, Jackbots!
17:17Let's get me that yeti!
17:22There.
17:23They should be able to see that.
17:25Get him!
17:26Get that monkey man yeti thing!
17:29Huh?
17:29Huh?
17:33Snow-gaboo!
17:36He has a weird yeti language.
17:39Oh, people will love that!
17:44Whoa!
17:46Whoa!
17:57I'm winning!
18:22I did it!
18:24The beast is down!
18:25I caught the Yeti Monkey Man ape thing!
18:31Uh, no offense, but lichen and pine needles just doesn't sound like a tasty breakfast.
18:36Isn't there anything else you can find?
18:44You found the Creature Pod!
18:48Great job, buddy!
18:52It's about time!
18:54Ooh, Chris, you're looking rough!
18:56No! We're over here!
18:59Okay, well now you look a little better!
19:01Where are you guys?
19:03It's a long story!
19:05That involved a giant runaway snowball!
19:07Anyway, Martin and Blue Goggle are still lost!
19:10They're...
19:11Hold that thought!
19:14This just in!
19:15We're receiving a report from Zack Varmatec that he has indeed captured the Yeti!
19:20Told ya!
19:21We now go live to a special satellite feed of the Varmatec expedition.
19:26Mr. Varmatec, how did you do it?
19:28Well, it's simple!
19:31Zack Varmatec always gets his Yeti!
19:34You see, I came face to face with the beast high on the mountaintop!
19:38I stared into his cold blue eyes and I knew at that moment that it was either him or me!
19:44So I battled the beast with my bare hands!
19:48Using my considerable strength and my signature Yeti takedown move, I subdued the beast!
19:56Everybody better get their money ready because I'm bringing the Yeti down the mountain for paying customers only!
20:04Wait!
20:05Pause the feed, Jimmy!
20:07Zoom in!
20:08Look!
20:09There's his hairy foot!
20:11That's my suit!
20:12It's Martin wearing my CPS!
20:15I'd know my CPS technology anywhere!
20:18No!
20:19Zack thinks Martin's a Yeti!
20:22Mm-hmm!
20:23Told ya!
20:24Come pick us up, quick!
20:26We've gotta get to Martin and Blue Goggle right away!
20:29We're on our way!
20:34Oh!
20:34Where am I?
20:36Zack!
20:37Zack!
20:38The Yeti knows my name?
20:42I'm not a Yeti!
20:44You!
20:45Blue boy in a monkey suit!
20:48Of course, Yetis are cool legends, but they probably don't really exist, you know?
20:51We're golden snub-nosed monkeys!
20:54My suit malfunctioned and made me gigantic!
20:57Now, let me and Blue Goggle go!
20:59No!
21:00No, I won't let you go!
21:02You're supposed to be a Yeti!
21:04Now, you be a Yeti like you're supposed to!
21:08Got it?
21:10No way, Zack!
21:11You won't get away with this!
21:13I'll tell everyone who I am!
21:15Hey!
21:16No, you won't!
21:17Because I have him!
21:19Now, you be a good Yeti for the cameras or else I won't give him back!
21:24Zack, you can't do that!
21:25Give him back!
21:26I can and I am!
21:29Now, zip it!
21:31That's right!
21:32That's a nice Yeti!
21:35This legendary creature expedition thing is kind of fun!
21:40Oh!
21:41Huh?
21:42To the creature rescue!
21:44Snowball face!
21:49Wow!
21:52Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
21:59Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
22:17Oh
22:19Well, I still have him
22:21Hey, Zack, never play snowball fight with a yeti
22:25Ah
22:33Welcome back blue goggle. Fine. You can have your orange slug-faced ape or whatever they're called
22:42It's too cold up here anyway
22:51I need to be a giant snub-nosed monkey in all my snowball fights
23:02I'm glad you guys moved down to the lower valley where it's not so cold and snowy
23:06Yep, these monkeys are always on the move
23:09Okay, Martin, I'm ready to fix that suit malfunction
23:12Aw, can't I be a giant snub-nosed monkey man a little longer?
23:17It's kind of fun
23:18Thanks to a pretty cool creature power suit malfunction
23:21And the awesome cold weather survival skills of the snub-nosed monkeys
23:26Thanks for showing us all your cool adaptations, Golden Ice
23:30Hold still, Martin
23:32Oh, wait, before I change back
23:38Snowball fight!
23:41So yetis and Bigfoots probably don't exist
23:44But golden snub-nosed monkeys definitely do
23:47And they have some amazing cold weather creature powers
23:50But snub-nosed monkeys aren't always left out in the cold
23:53Summer is a time of plenty of warm sunshine and lots of food
23:58Snub-nosed monkeys love seeds and fruit
24:02In the summer, they pick through the grasses
24:05Eating some of the grass, but also the seed pods of the grasses
24:09Right now when they're grooming and eating
24:12Is a great time to check out those stubby fingers
24:15Look at them
24:16They're short and covered with fur
24:18It's almost like they're wearing mittens
24:20That helps keep them from getting frostbite in the wintertime
24:24Wow, that golden fur is beautiful and impressive
24:27It's pretty thick right now in the fall
24:30And it's getting thicker and thicker
24:32As the golden snub-nosed monkeys prepare for winter
24:35A thick, warm winter coat is vital for getting them through the harsh winters
24:42When he's looking off to the side like that
24:44You can really see the profile of his snub-nosed
24:46It's really pushed in so much that when it rains
24:49Sometimes they get water up their noses
24:52Those snub-nosed are great for a cold-weather monkey
24:55With such a small nose close to their face
24:58They're less likely to get frostbite in the winter
25:01This is lichen
25:03It looks like part of the tree bark
25:06But it's not
25:07It grows on the tree
25:08And it is critical for the golden snub-nosed monkeys
25:11This lichen has protein
25:13Which is important for the snub-nosed monkeys
25:15And better than that
25:16It's around during the wintertime
25:19When berries and leaves aren't
25:21You gotta love golden snub-nosed monkeys
25:24Not only because their faces are blue
25:26But because they have so many cool creature powers
25:30Whoa, these guys are great at moving through the trees
25:33They can really get around up there
25:35The young guys like to hang out with each other
25:38And practice their climbing
25:41Whoa, you're a good climber
25:42Yeah, you're doing great
25:45Martin, the monkeys are on the move
25:47Then so are we
25:49Keep on creature adventuring
25:50We'll see you on the creature trail
