Wild Kratts is an American-Canadian live action/flash-animated
television series created by Chris and Martin Kratt. The Kratt
Brothers Company and 9 Story Media Group produce the show, which is
presented by PBS in the United States and by TVOKids in Canada. The
show's aim is to educate children about biology, zoology, and ecology,
and teach kids small ways to make big impacts. It has ties to the
Kratts' previous shows, Kratts' Creatures and Zoboomafoo, and contains
numerous characters from the latter. Spanning over nine years, Wild
Kratts is the longest running program made by the Kratt Brothers.The
show is broadcast in the United States and Africa (PBS Kids), Canada
(TVO, Knowledge and Tele Quebec), Latin America, Brazil, Australia
(9Go!), Spain, the United Kingdom (POP), Ireland, Iceland, Slovenia,
Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands
(Dutch-dubbed versions as Kratts in the Wild), Middle East, India and
Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia in Serbian.
The show was even nominated for a Peabody Award and a Television
Critics Association Award.The basic plot of each Wild Kratts episode
is to save an animal or animals under threat, be it by villains (Zach
Varmitech, Gaston Gourmand, Donita Donata & Dabio, and Paisley Paver &
Rex), general human influence, or confusion on a baby animal's part.
Most episodes focus on villains, but some focus on a real-world
problem, either directly (as seen in "Stuck On Sharks" where Gourmand
captured a shark for making shark fin soup) or indirectly through
allegory ("Build It Beaver" had the beaver's dam destroyed repeatedly
as a result of deforestation). Additionally, some episodes aim to
change the way a creature perceived as threatening is seen â€" such as
bats and crocodiles.The Kratt brothers are helped by Aviva Corcovado,
a biomechanical engineer who invents "creature power suits" which are
created to mimic abilities of animals and aid in defeating the
villains. Koki is the mechanic and computer expert who deals with the
running of the "Tortuga", their flying turtle ship, which is piloted
by Jimmy Z, who also operates the teleporter to send new Creature
Power discs to the Kratt brothers and helps Aviva with testing her
inventions. Along the way, viewers learn about the animals and their
lives as the Wild Kratts gang figure out ways to either right wrongs
or to get out of the situations they are in.
