The Tortuga flies high in the air as the Wild Kratts were just finishing a breakfast of pancakes as Jimmy stuffs a whole stack of 5 pancakes into his mouth. Much of Koki's bewilderment.
Even Amber was laying down after having her's as she was licking her claws.
"Woo, that was a great breakfast!" Chris said. "I know what we can do next."
"Don't say the dishes." Jimmy begged.
"Well, that's exactly why I invented this." Aviva said approaching with a recent invention she made with an orange color and a green button. "Introducing my table clearer, dishwasher, and put-on-shelfer combo."
Martin gasped. "So we can do less cleaning and more adventuring! I'll test it!"
He then pushed the green button.
"Wait, no!" Aviva quickly said.
And then robot arms extended out.
"It's not supposed to work while somebody's holding it!" Aviva screamed as then suddenly the invention spun her around her mad. "I was supposed to put it down first!"
They quickly rushed away as Aviva managed to placed the invention down on the table and quickly rushed behind the tree and peaks out as Koki poked her head from behind the plant as Amber hid behind Aviva's station.
A robotic arm extended towards Chris and grabs a plate from him as he and Martin rushed off as Jimmy peaked out from hiding behind the big screen as well as the brothers.
Then the invention brought every dish inside and then ran and opens again as the robotic arms then placed every plate and cup back and every other dish as the robotic arms retracted back and turns off.
"It worked!" Aviva beamed and then said something in Spanish. "On the first try!"
"Wow, that's impressive." Martin said coming out of his hiding place.
"While everybody's distracted, it's the perfect time to surprise with an extreme quiz." Chris said.
Everyone soon gathered around the invention.
"Wow!" Martin said amazed.
"What a time saver!" Koki said.
Then suddenly Chris jumps onto the table. "What's the difference between a crocodile and an alligator?" He then got to the big screen and brought up an American Alligator and American Crocodile. "Which is which?"
"Look the same to me." Jimmy said. "It's a trick question."
Amber cocked her head.
"Nope, that's a crocodile." Koki said pointing to the alligator.
"And that's an alligator." Aviva said pointing to the crocodile.
"Nope, that's a croc and that's a gator." Martin correcting them.
"Nailed it, bro!" Chris said.
"Oh, yeah?" Koki said skeptically. "How do you know?"
"Um, I don't know how I know, I just know." Martin said. "It's, uh, kind of obvious... isn't it?"
"Nuh-uh!" Koki denied.
"Negativo!" Aviva said in Spanish.
"How is that obvious?" Koki inquired.
"Yeah, they just look like 2 giant lizards." Jimmy said.
"They're not lizards." Chris said. "They're both in the Family Crocodilia, but one's a crocodile and one's an alligator."
"We can show you the differences." Martin said. "I'll take the alligator."
"I've got the crocodile." Chris said.
"Alligators are gray to dark gray." Martin said.
"Crocodiles are olive green or brown." Chris said.
"Alligators have wide, rounded snouts that are U-shaped." Martin said dragging his finger around the gator's snout.
"Crocodiles have long, pointy snouts that are V-shaped." Chris said dragging his fingers around the croc's snout.
"An alligator's bottom teeth are inside his mouth." Martin said and brought up a close-up image of it's mouth as no lower teeth were seen.
"A crocodile's bottom teeth stick out of his mouth." Chris said bringing a close-up image of the croc's mouth with lower teeth seen.
"Alligators are really big, up to 16 feet long."
"Crocodiles grow even bigger, up to 20 feet long."
"So they look different, but why?" Aviva inquired. "Why do they have those differences?"
"Yeah?" Koki inquired. "Why are they different at all?"
"Well the alligator and the crocodile look different because they're different species, and they're different species because, uh... well, naturally because... uh, I think..." Chris said as he was stumped trying to think.
"Here, I'll take this one Chris." Martin said shoving him aside. "The reason crocodiles and alligators are different is- Oh... hmm." He too was stumped as he think. "Ah, why are they different? They are different because, ah, I don't know."
"But 1 thing I do know is that we've stumbled upon today's creature adventure." Chris said pushing Martin aside. "We've got to answer the question: why are alligators and crocodiles different?"
"Hey, yeah!" Martin said. "And we'll do it like a contest. We'll have 2 teams: Team Croc and Team Gator. And each team has to find reasons why their animal looks different from the other."
Aviva and Koki turned to each other with a challenging look.
"And gets a point for each reason." Chris added. "Whoever gets 3 points wins!"
"Oh yeah, and we'll call it the Crocogator Contest!" Martin said.
"I'm on Team Gator." Aviva said joining Martin.
"And I'm on Team Croc." Koki said joining next to Chris.
"And I'll be the judge and stay in the Tortuga where it's safe." Jimmy said heading to the cockpit.
"Oh, yeah, and there is only 1 place in the world where we can go to figure this out." Martin said. "The 1 place in the world where crocodiles and alligators live together."
He then brought up a map of North and South America.
"Martin's right." Koki said. "There is 1 place. The American Alligator lives here." And the range map of the American Alligator appeared as blue ranging from northern North Carolina to as far south to Florida to as far west to eastern Texas. "And the American Crocodiles lives here." And the American Crocodile's range map as green appeared as they ranged from the Caribbean islands, as far north to northern Mexico, across Central American, to as far south to Northern South America.
"The only place they coexist is the southern tip of Florida." Chris said as Florida's southern tip turns blue green where they coexist.
"The American Alligator and the American Crocodile both live in Florida." Martin said.
"We're going to Florida!" The 4 cheered in unison.
Then the Tortuga came to a stop, and turns around and flies to Florida.
"We're heading to Florida full speed." Jimmy said.
And the Tortuga flies through the air.
In the garage, a door opens as Martin and Aviva stood by the bass boat.
"Team Gator will take my bass boat." Aviva said.
"Ho-ho, right on Aviva!" Martin said. "That'll take us anywhere in the shallows."
"While Team Croc will search with the Amphi-Sub!" Koki said as she and Chris were by the Amphi-Sub.
"Nice one, Koki." Chris said. "All the best croc action takes place underwater. Plus when we find a crocodile, we've already got this." He brought a light green American Crocodile Power Disc that Aviva recently made.
"Hey, no fair!" Martin complained. "He's already got a Creature Power Disc. Unfair advantage. I don't have mine. And I don't have Alligator Powers either."
"Don't worry, Martin." Aviva said with her M.I.K strapped on. "I'm bringing my Mobile Invention Kit and can program any Creature Power we need on the fly.
Chris gulped. "Uh-oh."
Then there was a beep.
"This is your captain." Jimmy said through the comm. "We are nearing our destination."
"Hope you've had an enjoyable flight on Wild Kratts Air, where even turtles fly." Jimmy said.
Shortly later, the Tortuga has landed over a river as they were all ready.
"Let the Crocogator Contest begin!" Martin announced.
"On your marks-" Jimmy said.
"Later, gator!" Chris said as the Amphi-Sub's windshield lowers.
"Get set-" Jimmy said.
"In a while, crocodile!" Martin said.
Then Jimmy blew the whistle as the 2 teams headed out.
On the bass boat, Martin and Aviva looked for any signs of alligators.
"Keep your eyes peeled for alligator heads poking up on the surface." Martin said looking around.
"Loading search image." Aviva said bringing up an image of an alligator head only visible.
"An alligator head is designed with eyes and nostrils on top so she can breathe and see everything around her, but at the same time be hidden and really hard to see." Martin said. "Or if we're really lucky, we might be able to see an alligator sunning himself on the bank."
"Updating search image." Aviva said bringing up an image of a basking alligator.
"Yeah, alligators like to lie on the banks to bask in the sun and get their blood and bodies warmed up." Martin said.
"Of course, because they're cold-blooded, they have to use the sun's heat to heat them." Aviva said.
"Yeah, and then when they're warm, they can be active." Martin said. "They go into the water and can hunt for prey with just their nose and eyes sticking above the surface."
"Keep your eyes peeled." Aviva said.
And they continued looking around for any alligators.
Meanwhile, Chris and Koki were underwater in the Amphi-Sub looking for crocodiles.
"Our search strategy is so much better than Team Gator's." Chris said. "While my bro is looking for the heads of the gator, you and I are looking for the whole body."
Koki then laughed. "Much easier to see."
"You think?" Chris said.
"Team Croc rules!" Koki said fist-bumping him.
"There's 1 now!" Chris spotting one. "I knew I'd find one before my bro!"
"Who said we'd find one first?" Koki smirked.
"I did." Chris said. "Koki how about pulling up right next to this crocodile so I can touch him and activate crocodile powers." He then moves to the back.
"You got it, Chris." Koki said.
And they begin to move towards it.
"Then I'll be able to go outside and swim with the croc." Chris said inserting the Power Disc. "And we will find out why crocs are different."
"And we'll just rack up the points and win the Crocogator Contest." Koki said. "Pulling alongside now."
They near it's tail as Chris reaches through the slot and touches it's tail.
"Activate crocodile powers!" Chris said pressing the Activation Button.
Then the American Crocodile picture appeared, but then strangely disappeared.
"Hey, nothing's happening... What's wrong?" Chris frowned.
"Uh-oh!" Koki said feeling something was off.
She then deployed the periscope and looks at the creature's head.
"Uh, this guy has a wide, rounded U-shaped snout." Koki said. "And I can't see his bottom teeth. This is an alligator!"
"Oops." Chris said. "That's why the activation of crocodile powers didn't work. I was touching the wrong animal! How could I have been so color-blind?" He watches as the alligator swims by. "It's a bluish-gray color, definitely an alligator! I should've known. We got a little overconfident."
"I'm just glad Martin and Aviva didn't hear us trash-talking." Koki said.
Then suddenly as if she jinxed it, a holographic screen appeared with Aviva smirking.
"Oh, you mean something like, "Team Croc rules"?" Aviva smirked.
Somewhere above them, Martin and Aviva have spotted an alligator.
"Well, Team Gator just found a gator!" Martin beamed.
"Yeah!" They both fist-bumped each other.
"Wide, U-shaped snout at 10 o'clock." Martin said.
Then the alligator dives underneath the water.
"Hey, where's he going?" Aviva wondered.
"Huh, I think he just spotted that Raccoon." Martin said noticing a Raccoon on the bank.
The Raccoon went up the shore and starts drinking.
"Alligators use the water to hide and are experts at surprising Mammals who come to the riverbank for a drink." Martin said.
Then the alligator roars as he lunges out of the water as the Raccoon quickly took off just narrowly missing the gator's jaws.
"Whoa! A near-miss!" Martin exclaimed.
The Raccoon quickly rushed off and disappeared.
"Oh, good for the Raccoon." Aviva said relieved.
"Yeah, really lucky this time, but not always." Martin said. "Most crocodilian species eat fish, including the alligator, but alligators are expert Mammal hunters." And then he thought of something. "Hey I think I'm getting something here."
"What?" Aviva asked.
"A hypothesis." Martin said.
"Well, let's hear it." Aviva said.
Jimmy and Amber went up to the screen.
"I think alligators have wider, broader snouts because they hunt for land Mammals like Raccoons, and deer." Martin said. "They need sturdy snouts to hold onto big land Mammals."
Jimmy then blew his whistle as a bell rang.
"I'll give it to you: 1 point for Team Gator." Jimmy announced.
And Martin and Aviva cheered.
Meanwhile with Team Croc, Chris and Koki were having no luck of finding a crocodile.
"Not good." Koki said. "We can't even find a crocodile."
"Aww, all I see are alligators." Chris said. "Gator, gator... Another gator!" They saw a few gators swam by.
"How come there are so many alligators and no crocodiles?" Koki inquired.
They head to the surface and only saw more alligators.
"Gator... gator... Martin and Aviva with with a gator?!" Chris said noticing the 2 with an alligator crawling onto the bank and then sobbed. "Oh, we're in trouble, Koki."
"Uh-huh." Koki nodded.
And then they went back under.
Meanwhile, Martin and Aviva were near the alligator as he heads onto the bank.
"Where's he going?" Aviva wondered.
"Going overland, with a high walk." Martin said and hops out of the boat. "Where they keep their legs directly under them. Ah, check it out, only an alligator can do that." He got on all 4's. "Most reptiles, including crocodiles, walk with their legs out to the side."
He then crawls with his arms and legs out and he pants.
And Aviva couldn't help but laugh.
"Science can be goofy." Aviva said.
Then Martin tripped and fell to the ground.
"It's tiring." Martin said panting.
And then he got up on all 4's again with his arms and legs underneath this time.
"But an alligator walks with his legs directly under him and can walk longer without getting tired." Martin said as he crawls.
And Aviva laughed again.
And like alligators, dinosaurs as well hold their bodies directly under them instead to the side like with other reptiles. It's 1 reason how they managed to become the dominant species and out-competed the other reptiles and early Mammals.
"Hey this is a difference." Martin said. "It must be because the alligator lives inland, in freshwater environments, where they often have to walk over land. So the alligator's body is designed to have the ability to go for long walks! With the high walk!"
Jimmy then blew his whistle.
"Point number 2 for Team Gator." Jimmy announced.
And Martin and Aviva cheered.
And the point was added and 1 away from winning.
Back with Team Croc, they were still having no luck of finding a crocodile as just heard the news.
And Chris groaned.
"They've got 2 points already and we can't even find a crocodile." Chris said.
"Hey, Chris, check it out." Koki said. "I might have something here." And the range map of the American Alligator and crocodile were out. "The range maps show that while the alligators live inland in freshwater areas, the crocodile's range only starts at the tip of Florida and goes seaward to the Caribbean and to the coasts of Central and South America."
"Ah, so it seems that crocodiles might like saltier water." Chris said getting the idea. "We'll head south on our search for crocodiles and take water readings of the saltiness, or salinity, as we go."
Koki then deployed a device to measure the levels of salinity.
"Zero parts salt." Koki said reading the measurements. "This water is fresher than fresh. Totally fresh water here."
"Let's get out of here." Chris said.
And they headed downriver to find a crocodile.
Meanwhile with Team Gator, Martin and Aviva were still following the alligator as they traveled further inland as it was hot.
And Martin brought out a canister of water and drinks some.
"Where'd all the water go?" Aviva asked.
"This is the dry season and that's why this it's a dry grassland." Martin explained. "Usually this whole area is under 2 feet of water. Alligators can't get caught out here because they can overheat and die."
"But there's no water in sight." Aviva said. "Is he gonna make it to wherever he's going?"
Then Martin rushed pass her as the alligator then crawls into a pool of water.
"Look, Aviva!" Martin said gasped. "An alligator hole! I've read about these! An alligator digs these pools with his claws and tail as a way to survive the dry season."
"Okay, so get in there and check it out." Aviva said.
"Nuh-uh." Martin denied. "The alligator uses this pool to attract thirsty prey."
Nearby, a deer wanders to the pool of water and drinks.
"Like an ambush?" Aviva said.
"You got it." Martin said.
Then suddenly the alligator lunges as the deer narrowly avoids his jaws.
"Whoa!" Martin exclaimed from the ambush. "So even though I want to go in there, I'm not going in there until I have alligator powers of my own."
"I'm on it." Aviva said.
Aviva then sets her M.I.K down and it opens up and deploys out as she got to work on the Alligator Power Disc.
Meanwhile with Team Croc, Chris and Koki were still heading downriver.
"Salinity is at 50 parts." Koki announced. "We've now entered a bay where the fresh water of the river is mixing with the salt water of the ocean."
"Brackish water!" Chris said. "And no more alligators!"
They watched as a school of fish swam by them and then an American Crocodile swims near them.
"Whoa!" They both said of how close he was.
"Long, pointy V-shaped snout." Chris said looking at his snout.
"Teeth sticking out from lower jaw." Koki said.
"Greenish-brown color." Chris said. "It's-"
"A crocodile!" They both beamed.
A fish swam by the crocodile as he quickly turns and snatches the fish in his jaws.
"Now that's how you catch fish!" Chris said.
"Not how I catch fish." Koki said.
"American Crocodiles are mostly fish hunters and a long, thin jaw makes it easier for them to move their heads sideways through the water quickly!" Chris explained as the crocodile snatched another fish. "That's why crocs have a long, thin V-shaped snout. Because that's the best shape to have for catching fish."
Then a whistle was heard blowing as they turn to Jimmy on the screen.
"1 point for Team Croc." Jimmy said.
And a point was given for them.
"The score is 2-1." Jimmy said. "Team Gator is in the lead, but Team Croc is catching up."
Then Jimmy noticed that both teams were way far ahead of him.
"Hey, you guys are are getting away from me." Jimmy said. "Time to relocate."
He then rushed to the cockpit and by Amber playing with a chew toy.
"I'm bringing the Tortuga right where croc and gator habitat overlap." Jimmy said.
And he flies the Tortuga off to a new location.
Meanwhile with Team Gator, Martin peaks through the grass watching the alligator.
"C'mon, hurry, Aviva!" Martin said. "Team Croc is catching up!"
Soon Aviva finished, and the slot deploys open as it reveals an orange Alligator Power Disc.
"Listo!" Aviva said grabbing the disc. "The Alligator Power programming is complete!" She then tossed the disc to Martin.
"Great!" Martin said and inserts the disc.
He then nears the alligator by the tail and almost within reach, but then the alligator quickly turns and snaps at him.
"Uh, sorry about that." Martin apologized. "I think I'll just go for a walk around the alligator hole."
He walks around the hole whistling and then crawls behind through some grass near his tail and reaches out again. But the alligator quickly turns and snaps at him again.
"Uh, Aviva... would you mind touching his tail?" Martin asked.
"What?" Aviva said bewildered. "No, that's your department."
"Just pretend." Martin said.
Aviva annoyingly sighed and reaches near the gator's tail as he turns and snaps at her.
And Martin quickly takes the chance and touches him.
"Activate Alligator Powers!" Martin said pressing the Activation button.
And his Power Suit activates into Alligator Power.
"Now I'll go into the alligator hole." Martin said getting in the water next to the gator. "Because we're about the same size, we won't have any problems. Right, buddy?"
"What are you talking about?" Aviva asked.
"Alligators of the same size usually get along okay." Martin said. "So let's check out this hole you dug."
And they both went under.
"Oh, hey, this is nice." Martin said. "Cool and fresh. Ah, a nice place to get out of the sun and cool down." He then saw several other animals. "This alligator hole is also a refuge for all these other animals: frogs, largemouth bass, softshell turtles."
He then swims off and leaps out of the water, but ends up getting Aviva completely wet.
"Oh, that's refreshing." Aviva said sarcastically.
Meanwhile with Team Croc, Chris and Koki were still following the crocodile.
"Koki, steer the Amphi-Sub closer so I can activate croc powers." Chris said eagerly.
They begin to near the crocodile as Chris reaches his hand through the slot near the crocodile's tail. But he missed as he quickly swims off.
"Oh, missed him!" Chris said. "Faster, Koki! He's heading out to sea. He must be after something."
"On it." Koki said.
They quickly hurry up to the crocodile as then suddenly a Tiger Shark appeared into view as the crocodile swims towards it.
"What?" Chris said bewildered. "This croc is attacking a Tiger Shark! Go, Koki, go! This is a never-before-seen moment!"
And they near the crocodile and Tiger Shark as they circle each other.
"Crocodile versus Tiger Shark!" Chris said. "I can't believe it! Incredible, the crocodile is going after the shark."
The crocodile then snaps at the shark as he quickly avoids him.
"And the shark's not backing down." Koki said.
The Tiger Shark then nears the crocodile as he avoids him.
"Whoa, crocodiles are aggressive." Chris said and they near the crocodile again. "Get us closer Koki, I can almost touch him."
He reaches out to touch the croc's tail but missed again as he swims off.
The crocodile snaps at the shark again as the Tiger Shark then swims off.
"Whoa! He made one of the most aggressive sharks in the world back down!" Chris said astonished. "The crocodile is so much more aggressive."
"Than an alligator." Koki said.
"Because it lives in a bigger, tougher environment!"
A whistle was heard blowing as they turn to Jimmy on the screen.
"A point for Team Croc." Jimmy announced.
"The Crocogator Contest is tied." Jimmy said adding another point for Team Croc. "2-2!"
And Chris and Koki cheered.
Unknowingly outside, an alligator nears the garage ramp as a crocodile nears the front ramp as both entrances were left open by accident as they crawled up the ramps into the Tortuga.
"Croc or gator, who will win?" Jimmy wondered looking at the screen showing a crocodile and alligator. "Croc or gator? Well, whoever gets the next point wins. And then you can all come back and tell me what the differences are between a crocodile and an alligator."
Unknowingly behind him and Amber, both the crocodile and alligator entrance the room through the doors.
"And why." Jimmy finished.
Then suddenly roaring was heard behind them as they both widen their eyes and stiffen as Jimmy gulped and glanced back.
He then turns around seeing them. "Because I'm still not seeing it!"
The crocodile roars at the alligator as it roars back.
Then Jimmy screamed his head off as Amber panicked and leaped on his head and then he quickly builds a tower of crates and tires placed his chair on top as Jimmy jumped up to the top as the 2 reptiles were busy with their attention on each other than him.
"Help!" Jimmy cried.
And the crocodile hissed.
Soon Chris and Koki heard the commotion.
"Uh-oh, that doesn't sound good." Koki said.
Even Martin and Aviva heard him.
"Sounds like Jimmy's in trouble." Aviva said.
"What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?"
"What am I gonna do?" Jimmy said frantically.
"What's wrong Jimmy?" Aviva and Koki asked in unison on the screen.
"C-C-C-C-C-C-C-Crocogators!" Jimmy fearfully said. "In the Tortuga!"
"What?" Aviva frowned.
"Well, which is it?" Koki asked.
"Crocs?" Chris appeared in view.
"Or gators?" Martin appeared as well.
"I don't know." Jimmy whimpered. "1 or the other. Maybe both."
"Well, what color are they?" Martin asked.
"And what are their heads like?" Chris asked.
Jimmy whimpered looking down to the crocodile.
"One's greenish-brown with a long, pointy head." Jimmy said.
"Croc!" Chris said.
"And the other is grayish-blue with a wide, round head." Jimmy said turning to the alligator.
"Gator!" Martin said.
"Jimmy, you are so lucky." Chris said.
"What?" Jimmy fearfully said.
"You've found yourself right in the middle of a rarely seen wildlife moment!" Martin said.
"A stand off between an alligator and a crocodile!" Chris said.
The crocodile and alligator continue snapping at each other.
"B-B-B-B-B-But they both have big mouths and lots of teeth!" Jimmy fearfully said.
Amber nervously growled as she clings on.
"Guys, Jimmy is scared!" Aviva said.
"Oh, yeah." Martin said realizing that.
"Right, of course." Chris said smacking himself.
"To the Jimmy rescue!" They both said.
The Amphi-Sub raises to the surface near the crocodile.
"We gotta get back to the Tortuga and fast!" Chris said. "And I know just how to do it!"
He then grabs his mask on and dives in the water and touches the tail of the crocodile.
"Activate Crocodile Powers!" Chris said pressing the Activation button.
He then activates into the American Crocodile Power Suit as it was different from the Nile Crocodile Power Suit with a narrower jaw.
And he surfaced next to Koki.
"Hop on!" Chris said.
Koki then placed her mask on.
"You got it!" Koki said climbing on his back.
And they quickly swim off back to the Tortuga.
"Did you know crocodiles are faster swimmers than alligators?" Chris asked. "Think that's worth a point?"
"I don't think Jimmy's keeping score right now." Koki said.
And they swam off.
Meanwhile, Martin was speed-crawling as Aviva rides on his back.
"Alligators are faster runners than crocodiles!" Martin said and laughed. "And I love the way they enter the water, too. Hang on!"
And then he dives into the water as soon Aviva's head pokes out from the water with an annoyed look as Martin rose up as she crossed her arms.
"Oops." Martin said sheepishly. "Heh, sorry."
And they head over to the Tortuga.
Inside, the crocodile and alligator circle each other as Jimmy was still on his tower as he whimpered.
And soon Chris and Koki appeared and saw the face-off.
"Wow." Chris said amazed.
Then Martin and Aviva appeared.
"Whoa, what giant reptilians!" Martin said astonished.
"Croc with around 68 teeth in his mouth." Chris said.
"Gator jaws hold 80 teeth." Martin said.
"Crocs and gators do meet each other where their natural habitats overlap and sometimes they face off." Chris said.
"Usually the size of the croc or gator determines which 1 backs down and which 1 wins." Martin said.
"Crocs grow to 20 feet." Chris said. "But these 2 are pretty evenly matched."
"Maybe this gator's even a little bigger." Martin said.
The 2 reptiles continue snapping at each other.
"I don't wanna fall into that crocogator fight!" Jimmy said.
"Jimmy's tower isn't gonna last long with those bruisers going at it!" Martin said as Chris and Koki join up with them.
"Okay, what do we know about croc and gator behavior that could brake up this fight?" Chris wondered.
The 2 reptiles continue circling each other as then the alligator turns to Martin and hissed.
"Huh?" Martin frowned. "Wh-what me?" He then gasped. "Maybe we already have the answer. Both crocs and gators are cannibals."
And the crocodile turns towards Chris.
"Meaning they like to eat their own kind who are smaller than them." Chris said.
Cannibalism is common in reptiles, as well with other predators. And some dinosaurs were even found with evidence of them cannibalizing each other.
"We're in croc and gator suits and we're smaller than them." Martin said.
"Okay, now I get it." Chris said. "That's why they're looking at us like that."
"And if we get even smaller, I bet they'll really come after us." Martin said.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, bro?"
"Uh-huh!"
"The Miniaturizer." They both said.
"Here you go, guys!" Aviva said tossing the Miniaturizer to the floor.
And it deploys out as they both got on it and were shrunk down to the size of hatchling crocodile and alligator.
"Okay!" Martin said. "So now let's get out there and look delicious!"
And their snouts fused on.
"How do you look delicious to a cannibal?" Chris asked.
"I don't know, but lets try walking around real gatorish." Martin shrugged.
"And crocish." Chris said.
They both got on the floor and crawled around as both the crocodile and alligator hissed as they started at them with a hungry look as their eyes widen. And then they remember that both crocodiles and alligators are both most vulnerable during the first few years of their lives. And they're both the same size of yearlings.
"You know, sometimes our plans sound great at first, and then I'm not so sure." Chris said.
Then the crocodile and alligator begin to approach them as Aviva and Koki screamed and got out of the way as Martin crawls as fast as his legs could take him with the alligator behind him through the door.
And Chris as well with the crocodile through the other door.
They both rushed down the ramps as Chris had the crocodile on his tail.
"Yikes!" Chris cried.
The crocodile growled as Chris started running on 2 legs screaming.
"Deactivate!" Chris said.
He then deactivates and jumps to a tree branch and clings as the crocodile rushed by.
Behind him, Martin was screaming with the alligator right behind him and then got up.
"Deactivate!" Martin yelled.
He quickly deactivates and dives into a pool of water as the alligator rushed by.
Martin soon rose up with a few patches of mud on him and saw the alligator now gone.
And he sighs in relief.
"Phew, that was close." Jimmy said.
Amber then finally relaxed and got off his head.
But then a mosquito appeared and lands on his nose. And then the tower shook from it's weight.
"Uh-oh!" Jimmy said.
Then the tower broke apart and as they fell and Amber landed in Aviva's arms as she caught her.
And Jimmy sighed as he laid on the pile.
"So, Jimmy, after all that, do you know the difference between an alligator and a crocodile now?" Chris asked as he and Martin enter the room.
Jimmy went up to the screen and brought up an alligator.
"Wide, U-shaped jaw, bluish-gray: alligator." Jimmy said. "Pointy, V-shaped jaw, brownish, greenish: crocodile."
"I don't think he'll ever forget." Aviva said to Koki.
"What I'll never forget is that they both have big mouths and with lots and lots of teeth." Jimmy said.
And the group laughed.
