Zoboomafoo was produced by
PBS Kids,
CINAR Corporation (now folded into
WildBrain), and the Kratt brothers' Earth Creatures company. Paragon Entertainment Corporation, who previously worked on ''
Kratts' Creatures, was slated to be involved with Zoboomafoo'' before being replaced by CINAR. Partial filming for the series took place on location at the
Duke Lemur Center in
Durham, North Carolina. The claymation segments were filmed at a studio in
Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada. Although the last new episode aired on PBS Kids in November 2001, many PBS stations continued to rerun
Zoboomafoo episodes in syndication through 2009. Select stations aired reruns as late as 2017. In addition, Sprout aired reruns until February 2012. The show was broadcast in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Middle East, and India. After the series ended, in 2003, the Kratt Brothers began another series titled
Be the Creature on the
National Geographic Channel. In 2011, they created the animated series
Wild Kratts, which currently airs on PBS Kids and
TVOntario. Jovian (a captive
Coquerel's sifaka housed at the
Duke Lemur Center) portrayed Zoboomafoo in the live-action segments (with his parents Nigel and Flavia sometimes serving as stand-ins). On November 10, 2014, he died of
kidney failure at his home at the age of 20. ==Cast==
