Ep 11. Bass Class

The Wild Kratts are back with another exciting episode, this time exploring the underwater world of bass. Join brothers Chris and Martin Kratt as they dive into the water to observe and learn about these fascinating fish.

In “Bass Class,” the Kratt brothers start their adventure by explaining to the audience that bass come in many types such as the smallmouth, largemouth, and spotted bass. They also introduce us to their new “Creature Power Suits,” which allow them to take on the abilities of the animals they are studying.

As they enter the water, the brothers quickly spot a school of largemouth bass. They use their Creature Power Suits to transform into bass and start swimming alongside the fish. Chris points out how the fish can move quickly by changing direction without any apparent effort, and the two brothers start practicing their swimming technique.

Surprised by the strength and agility of the bass, the Kratts return to their usual human form and set up a miniature laboratory on the shoreline to study the fish’s anatomy. They explain how a bass’s swim bladder helps it control its buoyancy, which allows it to move up and down in the water column. They also explain how the bass’s lateral line helps it detect vibrations in the water, which they use to locate prey.

The brothers then witness a thrilling feeding frenzy as a school of bass hunt and devour a group of smaller fish. Chris explains how bass predators use the element of surprise to their advantage, and how the prey’s escape strategy is to try to blend into the background.

The Kratts end their day by returning to their Creature Power Suits and swimming back to the school of bass they encountered earlier. This time, they use their new knowledge of bass behavior to catch some of the fish for their research.

Overall, “Bass Class” is a fascinating episode that teaches young viewers about the unique traits and survival mechanisms of bass. The Kratt brothers’ enthusiasm and love for nature are contagious, and kids will love learning about these fish while following their adventurous journey.
