PBS KIDS Premieres Episodes of WILD KRATTS and NATURE CAT in Celebration of Ear Mon

29/03/2017

PBS KIDS and Member Stations Encourage Families to Explore the Outdoors with New Content and Community Activities

This April, PBS KIDS is celebrating Earth Month with its annual Explore the Outdoors initiative, which encourages families to head outside and discover the natural world around them. The celebration kicks off April 10 with new episodes from favorite PBS KIDS series, WILD KRATTS and NATURE CAT, all week long. Grounded in a STEM curriculum, the two series explore such topics as natural and animal science, while inspiring outdoor exploration. New episodes will premiere on PBS stations (check local listings) and will be available on PBS KIDS digital platforms and new 24/7 channel and live stream, available to nearly three of four U.S.TV households.

Each spring, we look forward to partnering with our member stations for the PBS KIDS Explore the Outdoors initiative - encouraging outdoor adventures for the whole family, said Lesli Rotenberg, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Children's Media and Education, PBS. Our goal is to spark children's curiosity and love of learning, and WILD KRATTS and NATURE CAT are the perfect companions to inspire outdoor exploration and interest in the wonders of nature.

Across the country, more than 30 local PBS member stations will be hosting Earth Month-related events to connect children to the environment through hands-on learning activities. Events will feature everything from local ecology to urban hiking and biking trails. Families will also have the opportunity to dive into nature themes and environmental concepts with PBS KIDS Explore the Outdoors activities and materials.

New digital content from WILD KRATTS will include Aviva's Eel-ectric Challenge, a game that encourages kids to test Aviva's new Electric Eel Power suit by using its electromagnetic field to stun like a real electric eel. The game will be available the week of March 30 on www.pbskids.org and on the free PBS KIDS Games app.

Nature Cat's Great Outdoors app, an on-the-go toolset that will inspire children to explore nature, is available for download on iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.

PBS KIDS Explore the Outdoors-related press materials are available on PBS PressRoom.

WILD KRATTS

Archerfish School

Premieres April 10, streaming April 10

When the Kratt Bros meet a school of Archerfish, they are taught the secret of water droplet archery from an Archerfish named Arrow. Soon, they are using this newly learned skill to infiltrate Donita Donata's yacht and rescue the baby animals she has been capturing for her newest high-end fashion line.

This Orca Likes Sharks

Premieres April 11; streaming April 14

The Kratt Bros discover a message in a bottle telling them about an wily old orca who eats only large sharks. They find this hard to believe, so with the help of Aviva's Dolphin Decoder, modified to speak Orca, the Wild Kratts go in search of the orca who likes sharks!

Baby Tooth & Kid Musky

Premieres April 12, streaming April 21

When the Wild Kratts begin to talk about predator and prey, the Kratt Bros decide to split up to investigate the lives of being a predator and a prey. But when they each befriend a young member of their respective groups and the groups collide, the gang must struggle to figure out how they react in a true battle for survival.

Cheetah Adopted

Premieres April 13; streaming April 28

Martin and Chris are creature adventuring on the African savannah when they encounter a warthog mom and her piglets. But they notice something odd. One of the piglets is the cheetah cub Spotswat! It's up to the Kratt Bros to find out why this cub has been adopted into the warthog family and to reunite him with his mother, Blur.

Musk Ox Mania

Premieres April 14; streaming May 5

When Chris realizes that his precious creature souvenir collection is missing, the gang must travel back to the Arctic to find it. But the Arctic is now covered in a thick layer of ice and snow, so theyll need the help of a special Arctic creature - the musk ox - and its creature powers to find it.

NATURE CAT

Spring Hunter 3000/The Case of the Missing Moon

Premieres April 10, streaming April 10

Spring Hunter 3000 Spring has sprung! And it's now time for Daisy's favorite online game: Spring Hunter 3000! The goal of the game is to try to find as many signs of spring as possible: birds, flowers, you name it. The more you find, the more points you earn. And whoever gets the most points is deemed the queen or king of spring! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!

The Case of the Missing Moon Hal is so so so sad! When he went to howl at the moon, as he does every night, the moon was gone! But that's impossible! How does a moon just disappear? There has to be a logical explanation, right? Can Nature Cat and his pals find the missing moon? Or will Hal's nightly howls come to an end for good?

Mighty Mountain Climbers/Bug Eating Plants!

Premieres April 11; streaming April 14

Mighty Mountain Climbers On a dare from Ronald, Nature Cat and his pals try to climb all the way up to The Mighty Mountain Peak. They get all the supplies they need and head out, led by Nature Cat. But they soon find out that hiking up a mountain is hard and poses many problems, no matter how prepared you are. Will they make it all the way to the peak?!

Bug Eating Plants! A super-excited Squeeks shows her brand-new, homemade comic Bug Eating Plants of the Swamp! to her pals. As Squeeks begins to read the story, we see this action-packed adventure played out, as tiny Nature Cat, Hal, Daisy and Squeeks must make their way through the swamp while trying to stay away from the Bug Eating Plants, which proves difficult for Tiny Hal!
