Creature adventuring in a bat cave has made the Kratts rather stinky, a state that attracts the attention of a baby elephant, Toothbrush. She couldn't help but smell them with that great nose of hers. But an elephant's nose does a lot more than smell, and the gang celebrates what a cool creature feature a nose is, especially for elephants and coatis. Celebration turns to concern when Chris, Martin and Zoboo realise that Toothbrush needs to get back to her herd. A harmonica and bloodhound and elephant footprints lead the way back to Toothbrush's herd. Jackie's hard at work mowing her backyard when she spies a garter snake. She decides to leave a portion of the yard uncut so that her snake will have some shady grass to hide in.

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. Coatis are better climbers than the Kratts because they're built for it. Jackie and the Animal Helpers rescue a climber-in-training, a kitten who is stuck up in a tree. He knew how to climb, but he's too afraid to climb down.

Animal Junction becomes Lemur Central when friends of Zoboo's, two ring-tailed lemurs, come for a visit. Zoboo is stunned to hear that most people don't know what a lemur is. But Martin and Chris have a great idea to set the record straight when they declare an international creature holiday, Lemur Day, a celebration of all things lemur. There's even a special Lemur Day cake. A black and white ruffled lemur, some ring-tailed lemurs, and Zoboo's parents join in the party. Jackie tells the guys about a creature rescue. She saw a water turtle and a land turtle heading for a busy road but managed to relocate them to a safer place: a pond for the water turtle and a forest for the land turtle.

Animal Junction's teeming with bugs which gets Chris, Martin and Zoboo thinking that these tiny critters are nature's little superstars. Insects and spiders are amazing athletes. 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

It's time to clean out the closet but the more Zoboo tries to help, the bigger the mess he makes! No sooner is everything back in its place, than some European wild boars and a capuchin monkey mess everything up again. Zoboo has lots of fun learning how animals can be messy and clean in their own way.
