Celebrating 25 Years of Zoboomafoo!

Today marks a very special milestone. Exactly 25 years ago, on January 25, 1999, a little lemur named Zoboomafoo leaped into our lives and changed the way we look at our animal friends.

Zoboomafoo, affectionately known as Zoboo, was more than just a TV show; it was a doorway to adventure and knowledge for children and adults alike. Hosted by Chris and Martin Kratt, the series was a groundbreaking blend of live-action and puppetry, bringing the animal kingdom closer to our living rooms. The show introduced us to the charismatic Zoboo, a playful Coquerel’s sifaka, who alongside the Kratt Brothers, explored various themes related to wildlife and conservation.

 

 

What set Zoboomafoo apart was its unique ability to educate while entertaining. Each episode was a new adventure, a new story about animals from around the globe. The Kratt Brothers’ enthusiasm and Zoboo’s curiosity made learning about animals an engaging and joyful experience. It wasn’t just about facts; it was about fostering love and respect for our animal friends.

The impact of Zoboomafoo has been profound and far-reaching. For many of us, it was our first introduction to the wonders of the animal world. The show sparked curiosity, inspired a generation of young conservationists, and brought families together. Zoboomafoo laid the groundwork for our current show Wild Kratts, now on it’s 13th year and 7th season, continuing the legacy of wildlife education and adventure.
