What is "zoboomafoo"

Zoboomafoo is an American/ Canadian children's television series that aired from January 25, 1999 to November 21, 2001. It is still currently shown in syndication (depending on the area) and it was regularly shown on Sprout until 2011. A total of 65 episodes were aired. A creation of the Kratt brothers ( Chris and Martin), it features a talking Coquerel's sifaka named Zoboomafoo (voiced by Gord Robertson and mainly portrayed by Jovian) 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 series was pulled from its weekday airing on most PBS stations, though some continue to air it. It is currently unknown if the series will return.

On November 10, 2014, Jovian died of renal failure in his home at the Duke Lemur Center at the age of 20.
