Wild Kratts - Cures in Nature

[Music] says here koalas are herbivores meaning they only eat plants and the plant they eat the most is the eucalyptus really no Jimmy they're poisonous unless you're a koala with a very specialized digestive system that takes out the poisons and flushes it out your liver whether the koalas seem so tired it's not time for bed cuz it takes a lot out of their system to digest the leaves so they sleep a lot I think I'll stick to what my stomach is specialized to eat pizza [Music] bro we should probably take a break and eat something to keep up our strength looks like koala balloon agrees with you dude he's hungry too oh that's not a koalas kind of leaf he's a picky eater yeah koalas only eucalyptus leaves and they don't grow in the desert wait a minute my survival pack I've got all kinds of leaves in there but why because I'm Martin Kratts well-prepared creature adventurer oh but no eucalyptus leaves oh wait I have eucalyptus oil and our sandwiches but what about koala balloon he's got nothing to eat then what's he chewing yeah it's a eucalyptus leave wait koalas have a pouch in their mouth to store food when they need to move to a safer location he brought a snack with him now we can all have lunch together koala balloon [Music] he's cute but he sure knows how to put the sand and sandwich I've heard of crunchy peanut butter but never crunchy jelly [Music] want to hear something cool I'd rather drink something cool but go for it koalas also get their water from eucalyptus leaves when they have Dew or rain on them nope the water is actually part of the leaves Wow eucalyptus leaves are a one-stop food and drink shop for koalas I don't know about you dude but I could use a water break sounds good to me but koalas first only three sips koala balloon oh well now we only have half a canteen of water for all of us and we were just reminded that koalas don't drink water like we do they get all their water from the eucalyptus leaves they eat and we gotta find another way to get him a drink hmm prickly pear cactus prickly pear cactus Hey aren't they full of water that's it okay koalas get their water from eucalyptus leaves too right right ow so if I cut this prickly pear leaf into the shape of a eucalyptus leaf and then sprinkle some eucalyptus oil on it to get the right smell exactly if it looks like eucalyptus if it smells like eucalyptus you could get some water from it just like eucalyptus yes I'm a creature genius and I'm a pin cushion oh wait let me guess we're back with the orangutan mom and baby how'd you know because huge-o keeps even us back here for a reason but no way it's just a coincidence [Music] why is she eating leaves that are so gross shooing not eating she's not swallowing those leaves just mashing them up into a frothy green paste it's like a green bubbly lotion I don't believe it she chewed up those leaves into a pace a lotion that took the algae way the orangutan made medicine the orangutan sir primates like us 90% of our DNA is identical so that medicine works on an orangutan it'll probably work on a Viva Koki and Jimmy Z you Joe don't worry he'll let us by hi he hasn't before you don't let us by this time I know oh no you won't never will [Music] ooh he's letting us go yes because he showed us the medicine of the forest that's what he wanted all along no way this way not possible just happened nah uh-huh well whatever the reason we've got this awesome natural medicine now let's get back to the game they're gonna love it what's gonna pile of leaves a 100% natural cure what orangutan tested and approved and prescribed by dr. huge oh no he didn't uh-huh nah where's the first-aid kit oops almost lost it the last time he tossed us but this is better than anything we ever had in the first-aid kit leaves aah but they're Dracaena leaves with curative powers and if you know orangutans medicine [Music] dick make a lotion that soothes sore muscles it really works we saw the arranged hands using it Apes use natural medicines they make from plants chimpanzees fetus philia leaves to kill stomach parasites an orangutan is used to seeing the leaves to treat muscle soreness fine we'll try it but we'll make a new batch with the leaf press good idea [Music] I'm not sore anymore no more ouch in these fingers it worked oh and now I can get back to work putting orangutans strength into the creature power suits I love orangutans [Music]
