It taps into fact retrievalin the curriculum, expands the informaiton beyond fact retrieval, and most importantly, it addresses what educators call non-cognitive factors for student success.

The series matches the evolved visual intelligence of the young 21st century audience by building content with short clips, five seconds or less in length, and weaving them together in a narrative that keeps a viewer engaged with a compelling narrative overview. The thread that links the clips together is the connection between the differeing members of the animal kingdom - including our own species. In a compelling blend, animal examples are pulled from both common experience, such as the horse and cat, and exotic animals like the clouded leopard and the red panda. As the nature of animals is explored, the content and clarity create a program of exceptional education value. |
