'''''Zoboomafoo''''' is a 1998 educational children's show hosted by Chris and Martin Kratt (of ''[[Kratts' Creatures]]'' fame). The Kratt brothers hang out with Zoboomafoo (Zoboo for short), an anthropomorphic lemur and play with animals in a fantasy place called Animal Junction. Every episode focuses on a different theme, such as baby animals, pets vs. wild animals, or just a specific type of animal. The episodes are broken up by occasional claymation stories about a place called Zobooland, as well as expeditions where the Kratt brothers leave Animal Junction to see animals in the wild.
It was followed by an animated show called ''[[Wild Kratts]]''.
