The PBS Kids TV program “Wild Kratts” was created and developed by brothers and zoologists Martin and Chris Kratt and is currently in its sixth season. The series follows the animated versions of the Kratt brothers and their friends on hilarious expeditions with wild animals from around the world, complete with animal-inspired gadgets and awesome Creature Power Suits that enable the adventurers to get close to the creatures. The real-life Chris and Martin introduce each “Wild Kratts” episode with a live-action segment that imagines what it would be like to experience a never-before-seen wildlife occurrence and asks, “What if…?” to set the story in motion.
“Wild Kratts” has been nominated for six Daytime Emmy Awards, most recently a 2018 nomination for Best Children’s Animated Program. The series is a co-production of the Kratt Brothers Company and 9 Story Entertainment.
