Go wild, wild, wild, wild, wild!
2
What is that?
3
Whoa!
4
Where'd that go?
5
Martin?
6
Martin!
7
I'm still here.
8
Where'd you go?
9
I'm over here!
10
The flashing light!
11
Oh, okay, I can see you!
12
Coming over!
13
You're not Chris!
14
You're an angler fish!
15
Wow!
16
Oh, those teeth are awesome!
17
Some of those fangs are so big,
18
they don't even fit in your mouth!
19
Wow, clever fish!
20
Most of your teeth are tilted inwards,
21
so it's easy for your prey to swim in, but not out!
22
Pretty cool!
23
Careful, bro!
24
She's a dangerous predator, so watch out!
25
Ooh!
26
Martin!
27
Watch out!
28
Whoa!
29
Whoa!
30
You can't catch this!
31
Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot!
32
Ha!
33
Ha!
34
Oh wow, look at this!
35
The light is actually millions of glowing bacteria trapped inside this little sack.
36
She uses it to lure her prey close so she can catch it!
37
Ha!
38
Like it tried with me,
39
but I'm way too good of a swimmer.
40
Swimming's my thing!
41
Martin?
42
Get catches!
43
Woohoo!
44
Yeah!
45
Hey!
46
Whoa!
47
Where you going?
48
Whoa!
49
Oh, dude!
50
I think he wants to meet you!
51
More like eat you!
52
Whoa!
53
Faster, Chris!
54
Yeah!
55
Faster!
56
Oh, a deep sea shrimp!
57
Perfect!
58
Glue!
59
What?
60
Glue?
61
That deep sea shrimp has the best defense mechanism ever.
62
When it feels threatened, it shoots out a glowing glue that confuses its predator.
63
While the predator attacks the glue, the shrimp slips away.
64
Well, I'm covered in glue.
65
Oh, I'm like a glow-in-the-dark target.
66
Yeah, we better get you cleaned up before you get gulped down Whoa,
67
check out the feeding frenzy
68
By the way they're munching you think that carcass was a world-class ice cream sundae to them it is
69
Scavengers have it made you find an animal that's already died then eat it
70
And if you're gonna eat dead things at night,
71
those long whiskers on their face help them feel round in the dark.
72
It also helps to know when other Cheap Devils are too close.
73
We were too close!
74
He's defending his meal.
75
They're jockeying for position at the dinner table.
76
All those snarls and the way he's standing tells the other guy,
77
I'm tougher than you, so back off!
78
Whoa, that guy won the standoff,
79
so he's the one who gets the prize.
80
Oh! Do you hear that?
81
Pound for bound, tea devils have the strongest jaws of any mammal.
82
Tea devils can crunch through teeth, bones, almost anything.
83
Oh, if I were a T-Devil,
84
I could chew a branch, no problem.
85
Ah, ah, problem in my mouth.
86
Let's start tagging, bro.
87
Nice one, Chris.
88
Ha, all right, T-Devils, nothing's gonna happen to you now that the Wild Kratts are on the job.
89
Jimmy?
90
Are you downstairs?
91
Yeah, I'm in the garage.
92
You need something?
93
Can you grab the screwdriver from the cabinet down there?
94
No problemo.
95
Hello?
96
Uh, is someone there?
97
Koki?
98
Hmm?
99
Yes, there is!
100
An eight-eyed monster!
101
AAAAAAAAHHHHH!
102
Really?
103
Oh, they were following us the whole time!
104
Oh, and we brought back some sample wolf hair!
105
We were hoping you could make us a wolf creature power disc.
106
Here you go!
107
Huh?
108
I said a screwdriver!
109
Weird animals, insects, and even elephants, I'm fine with.
110
But ghosts and eight-eyed monsters are not on that list!
111
Eight-eyed monsters?
112
What are you talking about?
113
Downstairs, in the garage!
114
In the garage?
115
Yeah!
116
All these strange noises, food gone missing?
117
Now I know why!
118
Food goes missing when you eat it, Jimmy.
119
It goes into your stomach.
120
I'm telling you, there's an eight-eyed monster down in the garage!
121
Now that Jimmy mentions it,
122
I noticed a few weird things too.
123
See, I'm not the only one.
124
It's an eight-eyed monster.
125
Cool!
126
Hmm, an eight-eyed monster.
127
Sounds like a creature mystery to me.
128
Let's go check it out.
129
Oh, maybe whatever it is wants to come to the party too.
130
Ah?
131
I'm not sure what you're doing.
132
This is scary!
133
Look out, Chris!
134
She's getting a Talon ready!
135
She's gonna Talon strike you out of the sky!
136
Thanks for the play-by-play!
137
Roll right!
138
Whoa!
139
Whoa, that was close!
140
She's still after you, Chris!
141
Hey!
142
Maybe there is some power in this pigeon suit after all!
143
Woohoo!
144
In level flight the pigeon flies fast.
145
Make that faster than the peregrine falcon!
146
Huh, pigeons may just be more than the funny birds of the bird world after all.
147
We're here!
148
Where are they?
149
Well, the falcon is gone, and Chris... is missing.
150
I'm pooped! Must land. Must rest.
151
Okay, I will pose for 5.2 more minutes, so paint faster!
152
Huh?
153
Those birds bug me.
154
Zack Bot!
155
Get rid of them!
156
Zack, wait!
157
You!
158
Oh, so now you're Bird Boy,
159
and you want to ruin my painting, huh?
160
No, I'm just trying to warn you that pigeons poop when they get scared,
161
because it's a way to make them lighter for flying faster away from falcons.
162
So if you scare the pigeons, well then...
163
BOOM!
164
Birds are bad!
165
They're just doing their natural thing and actually pigeons are really interesting.
166
Coast is clear.
167
Great.
168
We won't get into any trouble.
169
The pack must be out hunting.
170
I can't wait to see what's going on in there.
171
Empty.
172
Ah, there's no mother wolf, no pups.
173
Why did they all leave?
174
That's why.
175
Because they knew that huge mountain lion had discovered their densite and was a danger to the pups.
176
Uh-oh.
177
Let's get out of here.
178
Wait, don't run!
179
Right.
180
She'll see us as prey.
181
Nothing triggers a predator like prey on the run.
182
We need the power of the pack.
183
Activate Wolf Power!
184
Nobody's gonna mess with us in our wolf power suits.
185
Uh, tell that to the cougar.
186
Thanks for the hair brushing.
187
Oh, we can't beat her in the short game for long.
188
Switch to marathon running.
189
On your mark and say go!
190
Ah!
191
She's tiring.
192
A sprinter like her can't keep up the pace for long.
193
Now we've got the cougar beat,
194
because we wolves are marathoners!
195
Wow, I feel so light,
196
like I could run like this forever!
197
That's the power of the wolf!
198
Amazing!
199
We've only been wolves for two minutes,
200
and already a raven has found us.
201
Well, if he found us,
202
he can find other wolves!
203
And maybe lead us right to Little Howler's pack.
204
Follow that raven!
205
Follow the Wolf Brothers following that raven!
206
This is awesome!
207
It's like a wolfman and the raven is my sidekick!
208
Maybe the raven thinks it's the other way around.
209
But either way, because wolves and ravens are so tight,
210
I don't think it'll be too long before this raven leads us right to the pack's new...
211
Gensai!
212
Uh-oh.
213
We forgot to consider one very important point of wolf behavior.
214
A wolf pack doesn't like strange wolves.
215
Our only hope is to speak wolf language.
216
How's it going?
217
Bro, that accent won't do it.
218
Well, what?
219
Sit!
220
Roll over!
221
Pet tricks?
222
How are pet tricks gonna save us?
223
Body language!
224
Wolf body language!
225
Yeah, by acting submissive a wolf can turn off an attack from another wolf
226
If they recognize us as one of their own and because we activated touching little howler

Practice Tips

To maximize your learning from this video, consider using the shadow speaking technique. Begin by watching the video once to familiarize yourself with the content and the flow of conversation. Then, replay segments and repeat phrases after the speakers, matching their tone, rhythm, and speed. The dynamic pacing of the dialogue makes it excellent for IELTS speaking practice; aim to mimic the enthusiasm and expressiveness of the characters.

If you encounter challenging phrases, break them down into smaller parts and practice until you feel comfortable. Use a shadowing app to record your voice and compare it against the original audio, helping you refine your pronunciation and intonation. This method not only enhances your speaking abilities but also boosts your confidence in conversational English. Remember, the key to mastering a new language is consistent practice—so keep going with the exciting world of creatures!

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
