Meanwhile, Aviva worries that the brothers might not survive the night, but Koki and Jimmy re-assure her that Chris and Martin know what they are doing. But the Koala bear makes Martin and Chris’s survival in the desert even harder when he accidentally destroys their precious food and water, endangering all their lives. The two then spend their night protecting the Koala from a pack of hungry dingoes, instead of getting their much needed sleep. Eventually, Martin reveals that he packed the creature power suits anyway, just in case they needed them. The brothers are then forced to lost their bet with Aviva, activating their creature power suits so they could survive long enough to make it the Eucalyptus forest. After finally meeting with the rest of the team, they set the Koala free, and admit defeat, learning that even some of the greatest explorers and zoologists in his history sometimes needed help from modern day technology.

After a monkey named Schnozzle gets hurt from falling on a nearby branch, Chris brings him back to the Tortuga HQ, forcing Martin to guard the rest of the troop.

After traveling all night to get to the safety of the river, the monkeys run into a gharial crocodile and flee for their lives, which forces Chris to search for his gharial creature power disc.
