Animal Families(2009)

Animal Families is a preschool wildlife series presented by expert Michaela Strachan, who travels the globe with her son Oliver to explore how young animals experience the world. From elephants and meerkats to bears and penguins, the show draws parallels between animal and human families, revealing surprising similarities in how babies learn and grow. Each episode centres on a familiar childhood theme—playing with friends, starting school, or bath time—and unfolds through three distinct segments: a thematic story, an intimate wildlife tale introducing real animals, and an ongoing narrative following a particular animal family. The series celebrates the universal bonds of family life across species, making wildlife discovery engaging and relatable for young viewers.
