The variety of the animal kingdom is truly odd and bizarre enough to read like fiction, but the clever narration of Zoo Clues links disparate information together in a way that always makes clear that what viewers see is real, natural, and relates to their own life in the real world.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. (Digital 40.1)Zoo Clues will engage viewers with the nearly infinite visual richness, animal characteristics, and wild range of animal behaviors. Zoo Clues will leave viewers with a meaningful perspective about animals and meaningful comparisions to their own human characteristics. The variety of the animal kingdom is truly odd and bizarre enough to read like fiction, but the clever narration of Zoo Clues links disparate information together in a way that always makes clear that what viewers see is real, natural, and relates to their own life in the real world.
