There are many climbing creatures and they all have different features that help them climb. A tree frog has sticky pads on its feet, and a kinkajou has a prehensile tail that she uses like a fifth arm when climbing through a tree. When a playful band of coatis turns up at Animal Junction, the gang marvels at how sharp claws and a long tail help a coati climb trees with the greatest of ease.

There are quick leaping grasshoppers, far flying butterflies, super strong ants, heavily armoured beetles, and plenty more. Bugs have to be quick because there's a lot of creatures looking to eat them. If bugs disappeared, a lot of other creatures would disappear too. That's why the Kratts always say, "be nice to bugs. " Chris and Martin get a bug's eye perspective when they shrink down to insect size and find out that it's no picnic being an ant. Some kids are stomp
