Zoboomafoo

Zoboomafoo is an American-Canadian TV series created and produced by Chris and Martin Kratt. The show aired on TVO and PBS and ran from January 1999 to November 2001 with some stations continuing to air re-runs due to the show’s renown. The Kratt brothers star and host the show alongside Zoboomafoo, a talking lemur puppet that is at first portrayed by a real lemur until he is fed and gains his ability to speak. The show takes place in a location known as Animal Junction where various animals from all over the world wander in and visit the trio, allowing them to learn and observe each creatures’ behavior and unique way of living.

During certain points of each episode, Zoboomafoo will be reminded of his adventures in the fictitious Zobooland, which transitions the show to segments of stop-motion animation as he tells the story.
