- Summary
-
Brothers Martin and Chris Kratt gave children an intimate glimpse into the animal kingdom with their successful MPT series "Kratt’s Creatures" (1996-1998). Funded by a CPB/PBS $1.5 million grant, the Kratts showcased animals from their own menagerie and from around the world. They were joined by their friends at the Creature Club, the home base where 16-year-old Alison used her computer to track the brothers’ locations and the animal habitats they visited. The show received international distribution only three months into its run. This clip was featured in the 50th anniversary exhibit, "Made Possible By Viewers Like You: Maryland Public Television Turns 50" in the Hornbake Library Maryland Room Gallery in 2019.
