Zoboomafoo is an American/Canadian children's television series that aired from January 25, 1999 to November 21, 2001 and is still shown today in syndication depending on the area and it is regularly shown on Sprout. A total of 65 episodes were aired. A creation of the Kratt brothers (Chris and Martin), it features a talking Coquerel's sifaka lemur named Zoboomafoo (voiced by Toronto-born puppeteer Gord Robertson) and a collection of repeat animal guests. Every episode begins with the Kratt brothers in "Animal Junction," a peculiar place in which the rules of nature change and wild animals come to visit and play. After January 16, 2004, the show was pulled from its weekday airing on most PBS stations, though some continue to air the show. On November 10, 2014, at the age of 20, Jovian, the lemur who played Zoboomafoo in the show, died of kidney failure at the Duke Lemur Center.
