Deep in the ocean, the Kratt Brothers find themselves witnessing (and soon in the middle of) a rarely seen wildlife moment: a battle between a sperm whale and a colossal squid.
Tropes:
- Always a Bigger Fish: First, mama sperm whale vs. giant squid. Mama is taken out by fishing net, leaving baby sperm whale Bumper at risk. Enter Colossal Squid who is finally eaten by Papa Sperm Whale.
- Behemoth Battle: Between a whale and a squid.
- Big Damn Heroes: Papa sperm whale showing up in the nick of time to rescue his family, and the brothers from the Colossal Squid
- From Bad to Worse: "Whale of a Squid" is the embodiment of this. While Chris the sperm whale is fighting a losing battle against a colossal squid, and Martin the giant squid is trying to save Bumpers's mother:Chris: Martin, help!Martin: Uh Chris, I was just gonna ask you the same thing!Chris: Why?Martin: Because we're sinking right towards underwater volcanoes! And they're active!Chris: But the squid just chewed off one of my fins!Martin: But I'm drifting straight into a pool of bubbling lava!Chris: The spinning hooks are shredding my back!Martin: The volcanoes are erupting!Chris: Chewing through the glass!Martin: Giant gas-filled rocks hurtling towards me!(Later)Martin (while being snared by the colossal squid): I got no strength to fight back!Chris (ditto): She's almost torn through my suit!Koki: The sperm whale only has five minutes of air!Aviva: It's too deep for us to help you!Jimmy: Can anybody say 'uh-oh'?
- Giant Squid: Only to get one-upped by a Colossal Squid.
- Glass-Shattering Sound: Bumper and his Mom use their echolocation to detect the Amphisub, cracking the its windows in the process.
- Mama Bear: The sperm whale mother was protecting her young.
