"Chameleons on Target" "Mini Madagascar"

"Fossa-Palooza", sometimes styled as "Fossa Palooza", is the 16th episode of Season 3 of the PBS Kids show Wild Kratts. It is the 82nd episode of the series overall. It premiered on July 22, 2015.

In this episode, Chris is disappointed that he has not seen the fossa during his time on Madagascar, and has to leave Madagascar, along with the rest of the Wild Kratts, for Mother’s Day. However, he falls out of the garage hatch door, mid-flights and lands back on Madagascar, where he meets his first fossas. Donita Donata and her henchman, Dabio, also head to Madagascar, this time to collect lemurs to use as scarves for last-minute Mother’s Day shoppers.

Plot[]

The episode begins with a live action segment. The Kratt brothers talk about how fossas can chase lemurs in the treetops. Afterward, they ask their "What if?" question, and the show transitions into the cartoon segment.

Chris refuses to leave Madagascar because he has not seen the fossa, but the Wild Kratts need to leave because they have to get ready for Mother's Day. Martin especially points out to Chris that their mom was not happy the last time they missed Mother's Day. Chris reluctantly agrees when Martin mentions that they have to go to make their mom proud. Chris also says good-bye to the fossas, even though he doesn't see them. They enter the Tortuga and take off. A disappointed Chris goes down to the garage to organize some gear. But in the main room, Martin unknowingly sits on a switch, causing the garage hatch door to open and Chris to fly out of the Tortuga while the rest of the team flies away without him! Meanwhile, Donita Donata and Dabio overhear the Wild Kratts' talking about Mother’s Day. She is inspired to create Mother's Day fashions involving lemurs for last-minute shoppers.

Chris lands back on Madagascar with no communication and very little food. Suddenly, a group of diademed sifakas find the stranded Kratt brother all alone. They're not fossas, but they sure are nice. So he decides to stick with the lemurs while until his friends come to his rescue, if they realize he's missing that is. Back on the ship, Martin goes down to the garage to ask his little brother if he has a Mother's Day present yet. But to his horror, the garage hatch is open and Chris is nowhere to be found. After realizing that the hatch switch is flipped, the Wild Kratts immediately turn around to find the lost Kratt brother. To help his teammates spot him, Chris covers a tall tree with his parachute. He then spots his first fossas. He follows them through the treetops as they hunt the sifakas.

After landing on Madagascar, Donita Donata and Dabio locate a group of diademed sifaka. Donita fires pose beam lasers at a few, freezing them in suspended animation. Martin finds Chris's parachute and lands in the forest near Donita and Dabio. A fossa then runs past him. He follows the fossa and finds Chris and the fossa’s cub. After mentioning what he saw Donita doing, Martin tells Aviva to make Fossa Creature Power Suits. Jimmy teleports the discs to the Kratt brothers, who activate their Creature Power Suits. They find Donita and release the lemurs she and Dabio have captured. Donita admits defeat before leaving Madagascar. Aviva tells Chris and Martin that she realizes why they didn't want to leave Madagascar without seeing the fossas. In the end, Chris and Martin skydive down from the Tortuga to their mom's home. Although both of them forgot to get her a present, Martin soon discovers that a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach had stowed away in his shirt, and with Chris providing the terrarium they decide to give the cockroach as her gift until they can return him home.

The show transitions into the concluding live action segment. The Kratt brothers are watching a sleeping, female fossa. Afterward, they conclude the episode by saying "Keep on creature adventuring, we’ll see you on the creature trail!"

Trivia[]

  • This is the first and so far only appearance of Mom Kratt. However, instead of being voiced by the real life mother of the Kratt brothers, Linda Kratt, she is voiced by Kristen Smith, who is unrelated to the Kratt brothers.
    • This makes Mom Kratt the only character in the series to be based on a member of the Kratt family and not be voiced by the source of her inspiration.
  • This is indirectly a holiday episode. In this case, the holiday featured is Mother's Day.
  • "Fossa-Palooza" along with "Mini Madagascar", serve as the final episodes of Season 3 by airdate.

Key Facts and Creature Moments[]

  • The fossa is the top predator of Madagascar.
