Creature Reports
The Creature Reports are one-minute, musical, poem-like sequences which recap the facts learned about the sea creature that the Octonauts encountered in the associated episode. In the UK these were shown as separately scheduled items but in the American version they were used at the conclusion of each regular episode. However at the end of the episode, "The Surfing Snails", it was replaced with a surf rock song called, "Surf's Up, Bubbles Up (Ready to Ride)".
