The TVI Take

The Kratt brothers and a lemur puppet explore the animal kingdom. Real wildlife footage integrated with studio segments.

High educational value from genuine zoological content presented with infectious enthusiasm. Cognitive demands come from the animal classification and habitat concepts. The predecessor to Wild Kratts with more emphasis on hands-on discovery.
