## Synopsis

Wild Kratts (2011-present) is a Canadian and American animated educational adventure series created by Martin Kratt and Chris Kratt for Discovery Kids and PBS. Hosts Chris Kratt and Martin Kratt, who also play themselves, travel to animal habitats around the globe, meeting incredible wild creatures and learning how their bodies and behaviors work. Their engine is curiosity: each episode builds around a wildlife question and a small problem the brothers must solve in the field, often with help from their animated alter egos, who use Creature Power suits to gain animal abilities. Across seven seasons and well over a hundred and seventy episodes, the format stays a brisk, self-contained case of the week, so viewers can drop in at any point. The show is set in the present day across many real-world landscapes, from rainforests and savannas to oceans and deserts. Its tone is bright, earnest, and playful, with a warm sense of wonder about nature and a gentle emphasis on conservation. Fans of Octonauts, The Magic School Bus and Planet Earth will find resonance in its blend of education and adventure for young viewers.
