Reader's Guide
Before being compiled into a television series, the animated shorts were likely used as theatrical propaganda cartoons in North Korea. The show was telecast in India on Just Kids! on Sahara TV, in the Arab world on Spacetoon, in Poland on TVP3 during summer-autumn 2000 and winter-spring 2001, and in Russia on TRC Petersburg in winter-spring 2004 and on Moscow channel 'Stolica' in winter 2004-2005. The series was shown in various countries in different languages after Mondo TV went public. Its significance lies in its educational approach to natural history for children, combining entertainment with factual learning about animal behavior and habitats.
