NEW YORK -- Nickelodeon will introduce kids to the wild and amazing world of animals with the brand-new clip-based series Zoofari, premiering Monday, Feb. 5, at 2 p.m. (ET/PT). Made up of hilarious live-action footage, Zoofari (20 half-hour episodes) showcases the most adorable and incredible animals from around the world--from furry to feathered, scaly and more. Created and produced by Cisneros Media's MOBIUS.LAB Productions, a new episode of Zoofari will premiere every weekday through Friday, Feb. 16, at 2 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. The series will also begin airing internationally later this year.

The premiere episode of Zoofari, "Best Pets / Jungle Gym," explores what types of animals--big, small, fluffy, unusual, underwater, and flying--make the best pets, and the daily activities of jungle animals as they stretch, leap and run in their native environments. Throughout the season, kids will also get to spend a day in the life of desert animals, dive into the underwater home of sea dwellers, and discover the unique physical characteristics of some the biggest and the smallest creatures in the world.
