Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. [32.3 - This TV] Zoo Clues is engaging and visually rich in its portrayal of animal characteristics and wide range of animal behaviors. Both older and younger audiences will appreciate this look across the amazing world of fascinating animals. Zoo Clues leaves viewers with a meaningful perspective about animals and evocative comparisons to their own human characteristics. The variety within the animal kingdom is truly odd and bizarre enough to read like fiction, but the clever narration of Zoo Clues links disparate information together to reveal that what viewers see here is real, natural, and relates to their own life in the real world. The pull of the Mystery Animal visual quizzes and the fun of Animal Oddities make the show more interactive and is certain to lead to interesting discussion in the family and in the classroom.
