'''Be the Creature''' is a 2004 [[Nature Documentary]] show by Chris Kratt and Martin Kratt. It was aired on the National Geographic channel (and these days, occasional reruns on Nat Geo Wild), and was an attempt by the brothers to do something aimed more toward adults, though it only lasted a couple of seasons. In typical Kratt Brothers fashion it involved going out into the wild and experiencing things the way the creatures did. Unlike their other shows it deals with more mature material, and has a number of uncensored moments.
 
The first season has a DVD release, though you have to [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]] (or hope to catch it on TV) for any of the other episodes.
Line 14:
* [[Green Aesop]]: Pops up every now and then.
* [[Horrible Camping Trip]]: To a degree, the episode about wild dogs could be said to be this.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: Pointed out sometimes during the darker parts of an episode, when it's not dealing with the [[Nature Is Not Nice]] aspect instead. Notable instances include the one about manatees (and how boat propellors are a big problem for them), and again in the episode focusing on lemurs (how people are burning valuable forest habitat).
* [[Mighty Roar]]: Lions roaring, elephants trumpeting, indri lemurs singing... Though these are never staged, instead being filmed as they happen.
* [[Nature Is Not Nice]]: Though the Kratts have never been shy about dealing with the darker sides of nature, even in their kids shows, Be the Creature deals with it even moreso.
