#wild kratts timeline

The Current Timeline of Wild Kratts:

Remember 3 years ago during the hiatus when I made that detailed post explaining the chronological lore of Wild Kratts and analyzed its timeline of a decade's worth of episode with a dash of my own HC involved in it and posted it onto the Wild Kratts fandom subreddit?

Yeah, I promised updates to it when the new episodes arrived, and here I am years later where the season has already premiered. Not to mention there were people who messaged me about legitimate errors I made that I accepted humbly, but didn't actually fix. Not to mention the crossovers that I completely ignored.

Well, much like in 2021, I had wayy too much free time on my hands and decided to go back and finally update that timeline. Unfortunately, Reddit's character limit prevented me from getting the edited version posted so I grit my teeth and decided to bring this fucker to Tumblr via copy and paste. Yeah, I'm not even kidding. So if you've ALSO got enough free time on your hands or are someone who read the original post who was desperately searching for an update, you've got it.

Full post underneath the cut: Warning, shit gets crazy down there.

The PBS Kids original animated show “Wild Kratts” has turned a decade old in the 2020's. Within that time, an autobiography, a 200 episode milestone, and a theatrical film based on the series is confirmed to be in development.

With new episodes of the show coming out, I figured that I’d analyze the show by making an analysis for its timeline. Like many shows, it does have continuity, but Wild Kratts is one of those shows which apparently has an extremely open universe where events happen within that universe, but they don’t seem to have a coherent timeline or any serialization. Many episodes are aired out of order and it’s hard to find a passage of time in a show which doesn’t rely on over-serialization in order to tell its own story.

I partly blame this on production errors as well as strict scheduling as well as the network focusing on releasing episodes in order of when they were produced as opposed to the intended date.

I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt that it doesn’t just rehash its timeline over and over again (unlike some other shows I know cough cough Arthur & Family Guy cough cough). Continuity does exist. It’s just figuring out how it falls in line that is the hard part.

I’ll update this post every time a new episode comes out. My plan is to analyze every single episode until the series finale so that we can determine how much time passes in the show. The way I'll order the timeline is by chronological order first. If there exists an episode or a group of episodes that do not contradict the order, but is not stated to go within this order, I will place them by original air-date and not production order.

I had found a website that lists every Wild Kratts episode (minus the hour-long specials) in order by air-date, unlike the Wild Kratts wiki & Wikipedia. Now, I did find some errors, as it claims that the first 2 episode aired on December 31st and not January 3rd, however I can forgive that as that has been a misconception for years and it got only the date wrong and not the order of episodes. So I was able to use that as a reliable source, more so than the fandom wiki. I am also running off of vivid memory based on my viewing experience as a kid, since I grew up with the show and have come to realize how much info I've retained from the universe of my hyperfixation and how I can use that to this post's advantage. Let's get into it.

Activate Analysis Powers!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEASON 1:

Let’s start with the very first 2 episodes to be released: Mom of a Croc and Whale of a Squid.

In that episode, we see that the Kratt Brothers are already familiar with what’s around them. They’re familiar with the Minaturizer, their Creature Power Suits and Disks, and adventuring with the coolest creatures from oceans to trees (sorry, had to squeeze that reference in).

We see that some animals and inventions are introduced into this episode like the Hippo Sub, Crocodilla, and her daughters. However, let’s focus on things which aren’t introduced in this episode.

Most notably, the Gharial Power Disks and the Miniaturizer. Let’s focus on the disks first.

Near the climax of the episode, the Kratt Brothers use the Gharial Power Disks to substitute for Crocodile Powers since they did not have a disk. Gharials and Nile Crocodiles are both in the order Crocodillia, but were not in the same species nor family. That, along with different designs, makes gharials and crocodiles in general very different animals, which is why the activation didn’t hold up (I hope to god they actually make an episode around gharials in the next season).

Many people assume that this episode only takes place after Kerhonk since Chris uses Gharial Crocodile Power, but this is actually false. Listen closely to what Chris is saying.

“Ha! Crocodile. And a gharial is a type of crocodile!”

Now we’ve already established that a gharial is NOT a crocodile despite being a crocodillian, but let’s get to the important part. Chris is saying that as he pulls out his Crocodile Disk for the Creature Power Suit. Now here is the thing. He doesn’t pull out a Gharial Disk. He uses the Croc Disk to activate Gharial Power, but he doesn’t use a gharial disk to activate the corresponding power suit.

So if Aviva did invent Gharial Power by the events of Kerhonk, Chris would’ve used that instead of using the Crocodile Disk as a substitute. And assuming that episode predates Mom of a Croc, the Kratt Brothers would’ve obviously used the Crocodile Disk since they have used it before.

So that means there was some off-screen adventure where Aviva made Gharial Powers which took place before Kerhonk.

...But that would mean Chris would already have a Gharial Power Disk by the events of Kerhonk and Mom of a Croc. One of 2 things is likely the case. Either Chris didn’t have access to the disk and used Crocodile Power as a last resort (as we see, the disk holder doesn’t exist until Season 2, so he probably stuffs them in his pockets), or that episode exists in an alternate timeline, which we know isn’t the case since that episode’s continuity is brought up later (we will see soon).

So we’ve established that Kerhonk takes place after Mom of a Croc, which takes place after an unseen series of events that predate the series itself as we know it.

Now onto the Miniaturizer. We see it in this episode, but 4 episodes later in Mystery of the Squirmy Wormy, the miniaturizer is invented. That leads me to believe that the episode takes place before Mom of a Croc. However, if you look in the background, you can see that the Walrus Power Suit is in the background with a harness and strap over it. This debunks my original theory of this episode predating the invention of the Creature Power Disks.

With the Walrus Power Suit in mind, it has a harness and strap over it, which brings up the question of why?

My answer would be that the harness and strap was meant for the Walrus Suit after it was damaged in Polar Bears Don’t Dance.

So now we’re at the original pilot episode, the first piece of Wild Kratts media produced by PBS Kids (excluding the Flash games that came out a month prior and were removed 9 years later, *sobs*). Here, the operation of the suits is different. Here, Aviva modified the suits for arctic survival and all it takes is for them to touch the animals with the gloves and then press the button. In many episodes, the modification occurs with the existence of a Creature Power Disc, or the disk is seen off-screen.

But the more I see into it, the more it makes sense. Ever wonder why we don’t see some creature power disks of creature powers in the earlier episodes? Maybe it could be the same reason why we don’t see the Polar Bear and Walrus Disk for the Creature Power Suit.

Aviva pre-programs the Creature Power Suits into the animal that the user can activate into not because she prefers this over making discs, or because the discs are already inserted into the suit, but because this was before she began making Creature Power Discs. This explains why in many Season 1 episodes, we don’t see the disc itself because the power is preprogrammed into the suit.

So at what point does this end and Aviva starts making discs? Any could be. All we know is that this would soon become the norm over preprogramming the power into the suits.

Polar Bears Don’t Dance could possibly chronologically take place around the earliest in the Wild Kratts timeline.

In Mystery of the Weird Looking Walrus, Aviva talks about upgrading features into the Walrus Power Suit. Maybe she isn’t talking about inventing the suits, but modifying the suits, which is fitting considering the walrus suit somehow malfunctioned and got jammed (which was presumably due to the cold arctic ice).

In the same episode, Zach and Donita’s interactions appear to be as if they had met recently, with Donita referring to Zach as the one who “vomitted from clams under the table.” So already we’re forming a coherent timeline with these episodes and we’re not even half-way through Season 1.

There would be one inconsistency. In this episode, Aviva says Jimmy’s controller is waterproof (along with food-proof) but in Seasquatch, 16 episodes later, Jimmy’s controller is protected by a shrink-wrap, indicating that it isn’t safe from the environment. Well, here’s the thing.

That episode shows a second appearance of the Squid Power Suit and Bumper the Sperm Whale from the episode Whale of a Squid which aired alongside Mom of a Croc on the premiere date of the series.

There’s no reason not to believe that the whale episode takes place after Mom of a Croc, which we have already established, takes place long after Polar Bears Don’t Dance. With that, my only explanation is that Jimmy’s controller wasn’t 100% waterproof since salty water can actually be very damaging to technology.

In Octopus WildKratticus Koki lists down many Creature Powers shown. This includes Honey Badgers, Polar Bears, and Octopi. This indeed indicates that these episodes where these powers debut are placed before this episode (some say it’s a retcon, but I disagree since Martin could’ve activated Honey Badger Power after the events of Honey Seekers).

Now let’s address the continuity in the series.

In Season 1, the Kratt Brothers have 2 adventures in the Australian Outback: Ones with kangaroos and koalas. In the koala episode, Chris mentions Aviva inventing Thorny Devil Disks for the Creature Power Suits the last time they were there. Considering that the kangaroo episode was 2 episodes prior to this one, I’m making it count.

Mimic is a sequel to Cheetah Racer, which takes place after Falcon City. In Mimic, the Cheetah Power Disk is invented, which is later used in Caracal Minton.

A Huge Orange Problem takes place after Kerhonk since Schnozzle (I think that is his name appears and Chris and Martin refer to him by that name.) This means that Kerhonk is in the official timeline of WK, meaning the only explanation as to why the Kratt Brothers had little access to either the Gharial and Crocodile Power Disc is that they physically had no access to it due to misorganization.

The Food Chain Game introduces new Creature Powers treated as familiar powers, which indicates that they were already invented off-screen. No episodes introduce these Creature Powers so that means the episode can't be out of order.

In Masked Bandits, Chris and Martin originally intend to use Wolf Power as costumes for their Halloween party, but instead Raccoon Powers are activated and Wolf Power is instead invented in Little Howler.

Ok so let’s go over the established time-line so far. When listing down the time-line, I’ll first do the episodes that chronologically fit together, then I’ll list episodes through air-date if there’s no connection or contradiction between them, then I will go back to chronology if I need to.

Polar Bears Don’t Dance → The Mystery of the Squirmy Wormy → The Mystery of the Weird Looking Walrus→ Unnamed Gharial Crocodile Adventure Episode → Mom of a Croc → Whale of a Squid → Aardvark Town → Flight of the Draco → Platypus Cafe → Bass Class → Build it Beaver → Voyage of the Butterflier XT → Honey Seekers → Fireflies → Tazzy Chris → Octopus Wildkratticus → Walk on the Wetside → Elephant in the Room → Let the Rhinos Roll → Kickin’ it with the Roos → Koala Balloon → The Blue and the Grey → Falcon City → Cheetah Racer → Mimic → Kerhonk → A Huge Orange Problem → Caracal Minton → Zig-Zagged → Seasquatch → The Food Chain Game → Masked Bandits → Little Howler → The Gecko Effect → Flight of the Pollinators → Birds of a Feather → Googly Eye: The Night Guru → Stuck on Sharks → A Bat in the Brownies → Raptor Roundup → Quillbur's Birthday Present

And that’s the end of the S1 timeline

Season 2:

Now already, we can see that Season 2 is a continuation of Season 1. The Tortuga HQ has an upgraded design, most likely from Aviva, which foreshadows the events of “Tortuga Tune Up.”

For the sake of things, I will put Speaking Dolphinese and Blowfish Blowout at the start of the S2 timeline because we don’t see the Tortuga so there’s a high possibility of it retaining its original design from S1 (I’m not including Lost at Sea because that was a terrible special that did nothing but combine 2 unrelated episodes into a movie).

The Seahorse Rodeo takes place afterwards since in Tortuga Tune Up, we see Blimpy (who is now an adult) and Ocean Pony.

Next we have Tortuga Tune Up, which shows Aviva modifying the Tortuga for swimming mode. Obviously I like to think the Tortuga’s redesign was an attempt to fix it, until Aviva had realized something was amiss.

Rocket Jaw: Rescuer of the Reef is a part of the Coral Reef saga of episodes so I count it at the beginning of S2.

Then we have Bad Hair Day, Race for the Hippo Disc, Creature Power Challenge, and Termites Versus Tongues, all of which are the first 4 ep. of S2 and take place in Africa. I consider those 3 chronologically connected. Plus, Zach recalls stealing the Creature Power Disc in one episode.

Happy Turkey Day is a Thanksgiving-related episode but I can easily consider it to be in the timeline.

Bugs or Monkeys serves as the first installment of the Central American Rainforest/Coral Reef saga. Followed by Shadow: The Black Jaguar, Rainforest Stew, Secrets of the Spider's Web, and To Touch a Hummingbird.

Then we get a bunch of episodes taking place in the Sonoran Desert. First we have Rattlesnake Crystal, which introduces the Sonoran Desert. I include this directly after the hummingbird episode because here, Aviva modifies Eyelash Viper Power for Rattlesnake Powers.

In the episode “Roadrunner” Chris and Martin say they have only JUST arrived at the Sonoran Desert. That episode’s plot is focused around the Tortuga getting a resupply, which is fitting considering they just recently crashed.

I would put “Skunked” after Roadrunner since it appears that they have enough resources by now. Then we’d get “Gila Monster Under My House,” then “Desert Elves”

Aqua Frog would come next I assume, I see no reason not to.

Groundhog Wakeup Call and Journey to the Subnivian zone have little ties to other episodes so I can place them in order of air-date. Since Attack of the Tree Eating Aliens takes place in the spring, we can have them come after those episodes.

So the Season 2 timeline goes like this:

Speaking Dolphinese → Blowfish Blowout → Rocket Jaw: Rescuer of the Reef → Seahorse Rodeo → Tortuga Tune Up → Bad Hair Day → Race for the Hippo Disc → Creature Power Challenge → Termites V. Tongues → Neck and Neck → Happy Turkey Day → Bugs or Monkeys → Shadow: The Black Jaguar → Rainforest Stew → Secret of the Spider's Web → To Touch a Hummingbird → Rattlesnake Crystal → Roadrunner → Skunked → Gila Monster Under My House → Desert Elves → Unnamed Burrowing Owl Disc Creation Episode → Aqua Frog → Journey to the Subnivian Zone → Snow Runners! → Groundhog Wakeup Call → Attack of the Tree Eating Aliens

Season 3:

Now, a lot of misconceptions have been made around Season 3 in terms of both continuity and air-date. My stance? Don’t believe a goddamn word that Google, Wikipedia, or the Wild Kratts wiki says. They have been getting the episode air-dates wrong since the very beginning, which is the reason I have to organize them.

As a longtime fan of the show who has been there since the beginning, I pretty much know the air-dates of the episodes by heart and the order.

The first episode is Hermit Crab Shell Exchange, second is Where the Bison Roam, third is Bandito: The Black Footed Ferret, fourth is When Fish Fly, fifth is Osprey. All 7 of these episodes premiered from April 7th to April 11th, 2014 as a part of PBS Kids' Wild Kratts Week, celebrating the show returning for its 3rd season.

The episode to air after that is the double-length episode, Back in Creature Time, which despite popular belief is NOT the Season 3 finale. The last episodes of Season 3 were centered around Madagascar. But before that, we see some adventures in the cypress swamp and the prairie.

Now that we’ve cleared up the misconceptions that people have had about Season 3’s episode order for the past 7 years (yeah a BIG fuck you to Wikipedia for that shit) let’s address the order continuity wise.

The first 7 episodes aired from April 7-11th as part of PBS Kids’ Wild Kratts Week! Celebrating the show’s renewal of S3. All but one would likely remain at their place. All except for Where the Bison Roam and Bandito since it introduces the prairie arc.

Back in Creature Time was after a LONG hiatus. Just to give you a good idea as to how long it was, the first 7 episodes of S3 aired in April when I was still in school, then the Back in Creature Time special aired months later long after I had moved into a different house during summer vacation.

The first episode to air after Back in Creature Time was Mosquito Dragon and Crocogator Contest (they were aired together as part of a special called “Swamp Things” but that special sucked for the same reasons why Lost at Sea did).

Now, this is something I noticed. Mosquito Bots were already invented by the time of Back in Creature Time, meaning that episode takes place after Mosquito Dragon.

And if we’re to include the cypress swamp saga, that means that Back in Creature Time comes in around the middle of the S3 timeline chronologically. That’s not even including the prairie episodes.

There were also Madagascar episodes. I consider Lemur Legs is chronologically the first of the order since the Kratts enter Madagascar here, and the finale of this arc is Golden Bamboo Lemur, where they leave.

This will be hard to crack, but I might be able to do it.

A thing that I noticed was that the Dragonfly Power Suits got redesigns frequently in S3. In Osprey and Mosquito Dragon, it has basket legs, resembling its S1 counterpart, but in Florida Panther and Back in Creature Time, they look completely different. In-universe, this can be credited to Aviva redesigning the suit, so I tried to arrange the episodes in a way that would make the suit's metamorphosis (pun not intended) feel less jarring than if you were watching the episodes in production order or viewing order.

So the S3 timeline is

Hermit Crab Shell Exchange → When Fish Fly → Osprey → Crocogator Contest → Mosquito Dragon → The Search for the Florida Panther → Opossum in My Pocket → Slider: The Otter → Back in Creature Time → Where the Bison Roam → Bandito: The Black Footed Ferret → The Amazing Creature Race → Prairie Who → Mystery on the Prarie → Under Frozen Pond → Capture the Fishmobiles → Praying Mantis → Lemur Legs → Chameleons on Target → Aye-Aye → Lemur Stink Fight → Tenrec Treasure Hunt → Fossa Palooza → Mini Madagascar → Golden Bamboo Lemur

Season 4:

Once again, this season was distributed out of order and the years that have passed since its release, however, as someone who, once again, watched every episode the day they aired, I can correct the misconceptions.

Firstly, the first episode of S4 was The Last Largest Lobster, and the last episode was Musk Ox Mania. The 3rd episode was A Creature Christmas, followed by 5 additional episodes, one of which introduced Paisley Paver and Rex into the show.

Now the confusion is that A Creatire Christmas aired as the 3rd episode of S4, yet animals and Creature Powers in that episode wouldn’t be introduced until later. So I’ll list down all of the episodes that come before the Christmas special.

The Last Largest Lobster comes before Stars of the Tide (they literally aired back-to-back).

Panda Power Up comes first in the China-located episodes. Next up comes Golden Snub Nosed Monkey Man. Red Panda Rescue features both Giant Panda and Snub Nosed Monkey Power, so I imagine it comes next. At the end of that episode, Aviva alludes to Red Panda Power, which is present in “The Colors of China”

Pangolin Rescue follows that (remember, all of these take place before A Creature Christmas). Along with the Two-Tusked Narwhal Adventure, the Snowy Owl Invasion, the Puffin adventure, the Other Martins, and This Orca Likes Sharks.

At this point, we’ve covered all of the pre-Christmas episodes. Now let’s do the ones we have left.

Liturgusa Krattorum, Eel-lectric!, Sea Otter Swim, Box Turtled In!, Animals Who Live to be 100 years old, Archerfish School, and many others.

Something to note is that Aviva narrates how the villains have never before teamed-up. Ignoring the fact that it is not true, that episode would have to come before Krattorum.

Here’s the timeline of S4:

The Last Largest Lobster → Stars of the Tides → Box Turtled In → The Other Martins → Sea Otter Swim → Animals who Live to be 100 Years Old → Spirit Bear → Panda Power Up → Snowy Owl Invasion → Golden Snub Nosed Monkey Man → Red Panda Rescue → The Colors of China → Pangolin Rescue → Archerfish School → Baby Tooth & Kid Musky → Musk Ox Mania → Puffin Rescue→ Mystery of the Two Horned Narwhal → This Orca Likes Sharks → A Creature Christmas → Cheetah Adopted → Eel-lectric → Liturgusa Krattorum → Creatures of the Deep Sea

Season 5:

I’m gonna throw in my personal opinion… This is my least favorite season of the show. The premiere episode, Alaska: Hero’s Journey was pretty cool and in my opinion, jumped the shark for Wild Kratts as we know it. Not only did it establish continuity with previous adventures and use it as a key-factor for the episode’s story, but it introduced a Creature Power Suit for Koki and had a very mature theme and an awesome message.

And then it went downhill from there. A lot of episodes, whilst enjoyable, felt pretty weak. Some were forgettable, and it felt like it talked down to its audience more, and there were just a lot of things that I felt didn’t work. This is where I think the show began a heavy seasonal rot and I know I'm not alone in this.

Ok, opinions aside, the time-line of this season is a lot easier to decipher than the earlier ones because there were less episodes.

Even though Alaska: Hero’s Journey was the first episode of S5 to be aired, the Bald Eagle Power Suit was shown, yet it wouldn’t be invented until The Fourth Bald Eagle.

Many listings show Mystery of the North Pole Penguins as the S5 premiere. And given that there are no continuity errors in that episode, I can see it being the start of Season 5’s storyline.

In the next episode, Temple of the Tigers, Martin and Chris head to India to adventure with tigers. A majority of S5 takes place in India, including the episode where Paisley Paver and Rex return, so I view the tiger episode as the start of the “India” arc.

There are also several episodes centered in Europe, as part of what I like to call, the “Europe” arc.

Creepy Creatures would go near the end of this timeline, as we see many S5 Creature Powers and animals by then.

So here’s the timeline for S5

Mystery of the North Pole Penguins? → Temple of the Tigers → The Dhole Duplicator → The Cobra King → Sloth Bear Suction → Elephant Brains → Cheeks the Hamster → Fire Salamander → Komodo Dragon → Wild Ponies ---> City Hoppers! → Blue Heron → Choose your Swordfish → The Erminator → Hercules: The Giant Beetle → Creepy Creatures! → The Fourth Bald Eagle → Alaska: Hero’s Journey

Season 6:

This season in my opinion, was a slight step up from the 5th season, since we get to see more interesting animals, and the writing feels a lot more breathable. The color palette, I specifically would go without, because it just looks weird. What I do like is how they recasted Koki, a character of color, to be voiced by a woman of color, and I'm glad this change is permanent.

Instantly, we get an instance of a continuity error: Martin is shown to have a Jackrabbit Power Disc in the 2nd episode of S6, yet he doesn’t get it until the Easter special, In Search of the Easter Bunny. There’s actually a reason behind this. The original title for the episode focusing on bunnies was titled “Spring Bunnies” and was listed as the Season 6 premiere, however this was cut and the bunny episode was released almost a year later. My working theory is that because of tight schedules, “Spots in the Desert” was released before the introduction of the Jackrabbit Power Disc.

We return to the Amazon once again with the double-length episode, Amazin’ Amazon Adventure and we get some newer amazon episodes after that.

In a promotional video for Hero’s Journey, the Kratt Brothers said that Season 5 would have at least 23 episodes. My guess is that they had to cut down the last 5 episodes because of COVID or something.

There are two things that stand out the most to me in this season's timeline. For starters, in the Hammerheads episodes, we see that the brothers have an Antelope Disc for the Creature Power Suit despite there being no episode centered around those creatures or introducing a Power Disc. Much like the Burrowing Owl and Gharial Discs, we're to assume that there was an adventure focusing around that animal/an invention of that Creature Power Disc that was not televised, and thus is part of this season's lineup.

The second was how in one of the first episodes of Season 7, Chris expresses a desire to adventure with wolverines, despite that happening in the previous season. So in a rare case, this has to go in a different season's timeline to remain consistent.

Anyways, let’s go onto the timeline of the most recent season. I’ll be going off of habitat here just to be consistent.

In Search of the Easter Bunny → Mystery of the Flamingo’s Pink → Spots in the Desert → Wolf Hawks → Deer Buckaroo → Unnamed Antelope Adventure Episode → Hammerheads → The Vanishing Stingray → The Real Ant Farm → Mystery of the Mini Monkey Models → Amazin’ Amazon Adventure → The Great Froggyback Ride → Parrot Power → The Race to Goat Mountain → Iron Wolverine → Adapto the Coyote → Tartigrade Xtreme → Uh Oh-Ostrich! → The Great Creature Tail Fail → Cats and Dogs →

Season 7:

The long-awaited Season 7 has arrived as of 2023, marking the return of the show to PBS Kids after two years of a hiatus. With eight episodes having been released, 13 more confirmed on the way, and the 200th episode milestone airing in S7, fans have a lot to hope for. And thankfully it means new fodder for my timeline list.

As I've said before, The Race to Goat Mountain cannot be a part of Season 7's timeline since it has to take place before their actual wolverine adventure.

This in of itself is purely subjective but I like to imagine that Clever the Raven would be the first episode of S7. For a few reasons. One, it was the first episode of the season to be confirmed (in an interview with Jane Goodall). Secondly, compared to Outfoxed, it felt more like a season premiere. With the fanservice-callbacks, the villains returning, the simple-structure of the plot with no rising or falling action and the episode's overall writing, it basically marks off a check-list of everything in the show that you were missing out on for 2 years and everything that you're coming back to after such a long break. Plus it's my favorite out of all of the S7 premiere episodes. Call me biased, but this one's going first.

Our Blue and Green World was the first of the episode batch in 2024. Personally, I am putting it as the most recent spot in the S7 timeline, after the other 3 episodes. The reason being is because with Paisley Paver's redemption, this episode feels like a huge game-changer, one that the writers hint will affect the rest of the series. I think this special should've been the last to air in the batch just to get viewers hyped for what's next. It's basically like a mid-season finale of some sorts:

Three new episodes will air in November of 2024: Salamander Streaming, Bumblezzz, and Chimpanzee and Me. Until the episodes come out, I will list them in the timeline in their release date order.

Timeline of Season 7:

Clever the Raven → Outfoxed → Owl Odyssey → No Name Dream → Backpack the Camel → Fish Out of Water → Our Blue and Green World → Salamander Streaming → Bumblezzz → Chimpanzee and Me

CROSSOVERS:

There are three shows that Wild Kratts has crossed over with. One of which came out after I made this post, two of which before, but I decided to add them here just for the fun of it and to commit to the lore-dump of the timeline. Whether or not I'll extrapolate that into forming a huge novel about the expanded universe of PBS Kids, only time will tell.

Night Shift: (Odd Squad)

This was the first crossover the brothers had done with another show, Odd Squad, a live action math-based cartoon that is set to air its fourth season in 2024. The Kratt Brothers have their traditional live-action opening that is interrupted by Otis and Olympia solving their 'odd problem' a running gag with various different characters throughout the series as a 'cold opener.' The reason there is such a massive overlap between the two fandoms is because of that scene in the episode.

How to fit it into the canon? Well, since this is shot similarly to a Wild Kratts live action opener segment, then we can equate it with the "what if!?" element of the show. It should be noted that the Kratts are following a white-tail-deer, an animal they would later adventure with in Season 6. So you could have this episode take place directly before the "what-if?!" section of that episode that transitions into the animated story.

Wild Batts: (Nature Cat)

In 2015, PBS Kids launched a new nature based show known as "Nature Cat" featuring the titular cat and his gang of animals exploring nature. This special aired directly after Wild Kratts: A Creature Christmas, so PBS Kids often marketed both the WK Christmas special and the Nature Cat premiere, so much so that at the end of the Christmas episode, the Kratt Brothers themselves promoted the new Nature Cat special. It only made sense that these nature brothers from another mother teamed up! And thus we had Wild Batts! In this episode, Chris and Martin "Batt" have to find a new home, after their old one is destroyed, challening Nature Cat and Ronald's fear of bats in the process and learning more all about them. Several references to the Kratt's show are made, such as the classic "Living free and in the wild!"

How to fit it into the canon? In the episode's context they are literally bats, but in the context of the show itself, they would probably be in Creature Power Suits. And one thing interesting is that Chris and Martin are said to be Indiana bats, an endangered species of North American bats. We know that there is no singular Creature Power Suit for a generalized species as we've seen with the crocodillian, owl, and snake-based Power Suits. So it's possible that Aviva modified the Little Brown Bat/Vampire Bat programing with Indiana Bat Power. So this would probably take place post-Season 1. I have it take place in Season 6 since Wild Batts aired around the same time that Season 6 just started airing, ironic ain't it?

Oh, and the episode also makes bat references to other PBS Kids characters, such as Peg + Bat (Peg + Cat), George the Curious Bat (Curious George) Daniel Bat (Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood) and the Bat/Cat in the Hat. Now, the logical man within me says that these are easy puns to laugh at and not look into. However, the sick twisted fuck that is me says, connect that shit together. Since we've already established Odd Squad, we can probably say that there was an 'odd problem' turning these random PBS Kids characters into bats (probably including the Kratt Brothers if you don't buy the idea that they're in very convincing Creature Power Suits) and that the Odd Squad is able to save them with a reverse-bat-inator and they all go their separate ways, never to meet each other again until their grand return in PBS: Endgame (ok maybe I'm going too far into it but just a funny thought, also yes that is the one MCU reference I decided to cash in).

Cry Wolf: Molly of Denali

The 3rd of the Wild Kratts crossovers, airing in summer of 2022. This was a massive thing in the WK fandom, mainly because around that time, news had come out that the show would not air any new episodes until 2023, which was a massive low blow. This crossover between Wild Kratts and Molly of Denali, while not enough... at least damaged this blow and is an okay entry point to Molly of Denali, another pretty damn good PBS Kids show.

The Kratt Brothers help Molly and her dad track a missing pack of endangered wolves, learning more about them on the way. In the episode it's established that Molly is a huge fan of Wild Kratts, referencing their show a lot, implying that the Kratts we see here are 2D representations of their IRL selves rather than their 2D-in-universe selves. Still, I came here to overanalyze, and overanalyze I shall! Since the Kratts did their whole "what-if!?" skit in Odd Squad, then I could see the same happening here, just not being necessary for the episode's plot. I'll suspend my disbelief again because what the hell.

How to fit it into the canon? I'd have it come between Season 6 and 7. It aired around that time, and again, it was almost certainly done so as compensation for making fans wait 2 years for the new season to drop. Plus it lines up with my headcanon of Clever the Raven being the first in S7's timeline, since the brothers would still be in the mood to adventure with wolves.

So to conclude, all of these crossovers I see as very recent in the show, you could cut them out and lose nothing, but add them in and get more of something, which is what I'm doing. In terms of timeline to the crossovers specifically, here it goes.

Wild Batts → Night-Shift → Cry Wolf

Ok hear me out.....

Zach is canonically 41 in 2024 according to the wk wiki, and the brothers are canonically their actual ages (even if they look young in the show) which means they are 58 and 55. That's a 17 year age gap.

IF we say that they are actually more like the ages they were during, say, Zaboomafoo (2001 is when it ended, meaning we could say Wild Kratts is around the same era), they would have been ages 35 and 32, and that tracks for their appearances in the show, and the amount of insane younger person energy they have.

NOW WHY, I hear you ask ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS?

BECAUSE!!! THAT MEANS ZACH WOULD BE FUCKING 18. NO WONDER HE'S A FUCKING ASSHOLE.

BUT! I hear you cry, he's around their age when they are kids!

I know, that complicates things because like... if that's true and they're 17 years apart in age, they would have to have been like in their early 20s when they were shown as kids for him to be that big with braces. EVEN if he was like 7.

SO, we can safely assume that the brothers and Zach are around the same ages, so if we put the brothers at 35 and 32, that would mean Zach is also probably early 30s, meaning he might be actually 31 in appearance.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? I hear you ask.

Because this next part is very funny and HERE IS WHERE I NEED YOU TO SEE MY VISION.

Kim Possible was 18 by the end of her show which means she was born in 1989, so she would be 35 in 2024. PERFECT age for knowing the cartoon brothers if their ages are in the 30s range.

Not only THAT, but if Shego was in her 40s (no canon age) when Kim was 18, she's old enough to be of mom age to her (she'd be in her 50s in this timeline I've built) which means I am forever going to say now that Zach is Shego's son.

PLEASE PLAY WITH ME IN THIS CROSSOVER SPACE IT'S SO FUNNY TO ME.

I haven't gotten too deep into the fandom yet, but...

Wild Kratts AU. Wild Kratts Pokemon AU. Wild Kratts Pokemon AU where they are submas twins.

They are pokemon researchers who track people who hurt pokemon and save them.

Martin vanishes one day without a trace. He's gone for several years. They must continue on without him, but the mystery still remains on where Martin is and what happened that night he disappeared. Chris does not cope well, but he does all he can to help the pokemon he saves, and when he isn't, he's doing everything he can to find his brother. The years tick by, and everyone but him pronounced him dead. He uses his brother's pokemon sometimes to give them the exercise they need.

Martin disappears to the past, without a trace of his memories, with only his shirt and name to his, well, name, he ventures off, until he's found by villagefolk. They welcome him, he keeps one of their most sacred pokemon safe. The sky cracks, and he, one of the most capable of their village, is sent to figure out what's wrong. He is plagued with vague memories of his past, future?

God themself helps him, Arceus he is. He sends him back to his timeline, still without a memory. It takes a little bit for him to find his way back to Chris, with the rest of his team.

His memory is still mostly gone, his body is changed, but they're together again, and they'll be okay.

[rainbowyumy]

I just realized that there was possibly a plot hole in the Wild Kratts season one between the episodes "Platypus Cafe" and "Mystery of the Weird Looking Walrus". Platypus Cafe is the 6th episode of the season and the first time where all the villains (minus Paisley due to the time being) have met and acknowledged each other. However, in the 13th episode, Mystery of the Weird Looking Walrus, it acknowledges that it was the first time Zach and Donita met.

Before you defend saying they mention they met off screen in an event, the event in particular they mentioned wasn't the dinner with Gourmand. They claim the event was an exclusive villain meeting con event and that Zach had gotten sick over eating too much shrimp, a meal that wasn't served in Platypus Cafe.

I'm not sure if it was a schedule mistake, or due to the fact that season one was still in its pilot state, or the show does different timelines of the plot. Either way it's weird. I could be wrong. Please let me know if this is wrong or not. I'm just curious.

You love WordGirl and Octonauts as a kid too?! 🤩

HELL YEAH!!!! (Me rambling down below)

Wordgirl is one of the first few superheroes (alongside Super Why and some Spiderman) that were one of my first few exposures of the superhero genre! And one of my favourite shows too! Also I keep seeing some Wordgirl clips appearing in my YouTube timeline every now and then c:

Loved Becky/Wordgirl! Defining words is what I love - especially now! Me being one of the few kids in Language Arts excited for defining a word project that one time

My favourite villains were (in no particular order):

The Energy Monster (I remember her debut episode I think the most as I type)

Chuck the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy (I still remember the password episode as a kid, it was iconic to me!)

Lady Redundant Woman

The Birthday Girl

Dr. Two Brains (Funny two brain man-mouse ALSO LORE????)

Tobey

Whammer

Miss Question

Butcher

Mr. Big & Leslie

Granny May (Best villain Granny ever! I take no substitutes!)

As for Octonauts, it’s one of the three shows I look for animals (the other two being Wild Kratts and Stanley I think that’s the name, it’s an old show I watched on Disney Jr)! I remember when they first appeared on Treehouse

My favourites is the main trio - Captain Barnacles, Peso and Kwazii! Loved the team too! Also the Vegimals are so cute!!! And the Gups (I think that’s the vehicles they drive) looked awesome!!! I wanted to drive/ride in them as a kid! (Preferably Kwazii’s - the orange shark - and the cup that looked like an angler fish if that makes sense!)

My favourite episodes? Man it’s been so long, and I only remember some from memory- like the Lemon Shark, the Sea Snake, and the blobfish.

Though I will say that I have two specials I remember fondly: The Very Vegimal Christmas, and the Amazon Adventure!!! Especially the latter!

Man, I gotta catch up on the new episodes and specials I missed out on! So many new creatures and apparently there’s a new version of the show on the land now???

No you will not get summaries of them until the poll ends. It's funnier this way

Alright how old is Varina

—@trin-draws-art(no srsly this is me for real)

Thank you for the ask @trin-draws-art! Sorry it took me a bit to get it!

This depends on individual interpretation honestly! In my opinion, she can be any age you, I, or anyone want! In my Wild Violet AU, with the timeline I have worked out, she would be 8 years old now. She was born May 31st, 2015 in the Wild Violet AU. But, I and others like @rosey100 , have written her as younger or older than this age.

I based Varina’s age on some canon events in the Wild Kratts series, I kind of have an “idea” of when Violet and Zach found out they were having her: in the Frozen Pond episode. And when she was born: sometime around the Komodo Dragon episode. But I also keep the timeline in which the episodes were released in mind for a lot of the events in my AU, so it’s kind of a complicated process, lol.

The main thing I keep standard about her age is her age in relation to her siblings: she is 4 years older than Vera, about 7 years older than the twins, and 13 years older than the surprise baby girl.

So…Varina is currently, in strict Wild Violet AU standards, 8, but her age can be interpreted anyway you’d like (I think of future and baby Varina all the time myself, for example).

I’m not sure if this makes much sense, but I hope this helps! And, since this is the perfect opportunity, here is a cute picrew of Zach and baby Varina 🥰.

[yes-asil]

okay so i found you from ghost boys (which i LOVE oh my god its so good, i found your fanfic on ao3 too and am really considering making one of my own) BUT youve. youve dragged me back into wild kratts. i ran through your page for a bit and holy shit your wk art is???? so soft??? i adore it all, i love the comic, the tazzy martin, the stim comic, aaaaaaaaaaa. its made me want to get back into watching it but theres sm new stuff, do you have any recs on good episodes/seasons i should start with?

Oh, I'm so happy you like GB!! And dragging you into the WK fandom is just as awesome, haha!

I'd honestly go just from season to season, the timeline is messed up anyway. My personal favourite episodes are all random strewn across.

Here’s a question for the autism community: how did your hyperfixations evolve?

I had a very odd journey with mine where the majority of my early hyperfixations were very niche pieces of media and they slowly became more mainstream before dipping back down into niche more recently lmao

Like here’s the timeline:

1. Octonauts: the earliest hyperfixation I can remember, though it’s possible there was an earlier one I can’t remember. Somewhere in this time was also a minor hyperfixation on Wild Kratts that never really overshadowed Octonauts… (late elementary into middle school)

2. Night at the Museum: this hyperfixation really helped me through a difficult time in my life… (middle school into freshman year)

3. Emergency!: if you KNOW this tv show (it’s from the 70s) I will be amazed. I met my first ever online friend through this hyperfixation which was neat- (sophomore/junior year)

Somewhere in the NATM and Emergency! era was another mini hyperfixation on BBC’s Merlin that never evolved into anything major

4. Welcome to Nightvale: the first inherently queer piece of media I hyperfixated on (though tbh most of the rest had queer coded characters), also my shortest hyperfixation, lasted less than a year (junior into senior year)

5. Sanders Sides: my longest hyperfixation to date, lasted three whole years from my senior year of high school to my junior year of college. Still very important to me, Thomas posted a mini Sanders Asides the other day that I happily watched!

5.5. My first ever special interest, that has lasted four years now- Pokemon! I’m playing Pokemon in most of my free time and have been since my freshman year of college lmao. I don’t consider it a hyperfixation because the world of Pokemon itself is an incredible building block for a shitton of stories. During the overlap of this special interest with my Sanders Sides hyperfixation, I built a Sanders Sides Pokemon AU!

6. And my current hyperfixation, that started early 2022 after the release of Pokemon: Legends Arceus… submas. Aka gamefreak why would you do this to us 😩

I’m just very curious how other people’s hyperfixations have evolved. I wanna hear about it if you’re willing to talk about it!

My Alterhuman Journey

Hello!! For my second post, I thought I'd write an abridged timeline for my alterhuman journey! I wrote down only notable points in my journey & kintypes I still identify as now, since the others were flickers, or I didn't journal/post/blog about them at all on old accounts.

This post is… a bit long, I glimpsed a 1.5K wordcount as I was drafting this. So, the rest of the post will be visible under the cut!

On May 18th, 2019, I began identifying as a therian

Since childhood, I had been obsessed with wolves. I watched a lot of Wild Kratts when I was really young, and I suspect that my wolf-obsession might've started from the series' "Little Howler" episode?

Either way, I was really inspired to create. I started drawing so that I could depict the creature that I admired so much. I made my own xenofiction comic series about wolves. It was inspired by Warrior Cats, which I also really liked at the time. I really wish I knew where I could find those comics today.

Later on, when I was around 13, I recall having a dream where I was physically a wolf with white fur. I ran around in the deep snow around my school, then went away, deep into the woods, guided by another wolf. I don't have dreams very often, so I cherished and remembered this one for a long time.

When I would go to school, I felt phantom appendages that weren't really there. Pointed ears at the top of my head that would twitch and swivel to capture sounds. A tail that would swish as I walked. Folded, feathered wings that would impossibly clip into my backpack.

Eventually, I began searching online for what could be causing this, and I found Therian Guide. I learned about the terminology, and when I made an account, I wrote that I already suspected that I was an 'angel wolf' in my introduction. In the subsequent replies, someone introduced me to winged wolves, or pterolycus. I immediately jumped on it. That was me.

However, later in May, I went from calling a winged wolf a kintype, to calling it a copinglink. I can't understand my reasoning for this change, and I really wish I had been journaling at the time so that I could explain it.

My cycle of experiencing flickers, misinterpreting them as kintypes, and confirming them after questioning, only to deconfirm a week or two later began.

On November 8th, 2023, I discovered that I'm a Zoroark.

Please bear with me in this section; everything I'm about to say will tie into how I discovered I was a Zoroark.

In 2021, I identified as a fox-like creature for about a year. I thought that I was a kitsune, or sometimes I'd call myself a 'intelligent fox' instead. This was due to my impostor syndrome, because my phantom shifts only featured one tail instead of two or more. Despite this, I felt like I finally had finally found myself.

At some point, I stopped considering myself a kitsune, and started identifying as a Vastayan, a species from League of Legends. I was still a fox, just anthropomorphic instead of a quadruped. I still have art of what I believe this form looked like here. Other than that, I considered this kintype to be stable.

But in June 2022, my stable Vastayan fictotype suddenly became unstable. I shifted between feeling like a leonine Vastayan, like Rengar, to something werewolf-like, similar to Warwick multiple times a day. Eventually, it settled on being werewolf-like. You can see my art of this form here. I dubbed it a 'lycan vastaya'.

Due to this sudden change, I started looking into polymorphs again, and it felt right to describe the circumstances. I wasn't happy with it, admittedly… I wanted my identity to be stable, and I didn't want my kintype to be a creature that I felt was the exact opposite of it. However, I didn't know anything that fit better, so I stuck with the polymorph label for a while, in addition to calling myself a Vastayan.

Zoroark has its mane in a ponytail. Ever since I was young, I've always worn my hair in a ponytail because it was more comfortable to me.

This is a huge jump in time, but on November 4th, 2023, I made a short list of Pokemon that I'd like to be if it was possible to be one physically. Zoroark was on this list.

I had questioned quite a few Pokémon over the years, but like many of the other creatures I had questioned, they ended up being flickers. I was discouraged from being wrong so many times, but I still felt like I was somehow drawn to the Pokémon universe.

I found a bunch of similarities between me, my previous kintypes, and Zoroark:

Zoroark has red marks around its eyes, just like how my kitsune kintype did.

Zoroark is a facultative quadruped, like my previous lycan vastaya kintype. It walks on two legs, and gets on four legs to run. This is noemata I specifically had about my lycan vastaya 'type.

Zoroark imitates other Pokemon by using extremely realistic illusions.

Zoroark is based on kitsune, but it is also said on Bulbapedia that it "…also resembles a werewolf, due to the fact that it is an anthropomorphic canid with a propensity for shape-shifting".

And when I discovered that line, I suddenly realized that maybe it wasn't a coincidence that I was both a kitsune and a werewolf, one right after another? All of these similarities made me realize that I am a Zoroark. And that… maybe I'm not a polymorph, but a Zoroark who got lost in my own illusions. Ever since I made that realization, it feels like everything makes so much more sense.

On May 30th, 2023, I discovered Shyvana.

I was playing ARAM with my friends, a gamemode in League of Legends where you're assigned a random champion. I rerolled, and then I got Shyvana. I also got a random skin shard of her Ruined skin beforehand from a chest, so it was a perfect opportunity to try it.

By the time the game was over, I realized I loved playing this champion! I played her with an AP build, and that playstyle was so appealing to me! I was never obsessed with any other champion like I was with Shyv, and this persisted for months before I even considered that maybe this means something.

On January 12th, 2024, I discovered that I am Shyvana.

When I confirmed Zoroark, I no longer believed I was a Vastayan, and so any idea that I was from the League of Legends universe disappeared.

But when Smolder released, and I found out that someone discovered that they were him, it made me start wondering if I could be Shyvana, because I was still really obsessed with Shyvana and any new content including her. Again, no other champ (or characters in general, even) was like this for me. Any interest I had in a League of Legends champ usually faded after a week or two.

It's a bit too personal, so I can't list out every similarity, but Shyvana really fit the draconic feelings that I've noted since around 2021, when I thought I was dragonkin. In some skins, she even has a mix of fur and scales, exactly like what I had imagined my previous dragon kintype to have.

On August 1st, 2024, I began questioning wolves again.

I haven't confirmed anything yet - but I still have shifts that don't fit either Zoroark or Shyvana. I still have the same feelings of a set of ears and a tail that I've had since May 2019. And so, I started questioning from the Canid family (this was determined by a history of shifts, mental and phantom that I've had) and narrowed things down all the way to a subspecies.

I've done a lot of research in the past two weeks, so now I'm giving myself time away from what I'm questioning to figure out if this is a flicker or a kintype! :D

[wildwormies]

I cant tell if I like caviva or if I just see Chris and Aviva as platonic soulmates anymore help

[calliecat93]

...I completeley forgot that the Christmas special is what introduced the rockets from Tardigrade Xtreme. Man they prepare for everything, and this was back in Season Four. Heck I forgot the introduced space travel here. Dang you continuity!

[wandering-star-storyteller]

• under no circumstances are Martin and Chris allowed to obtain, use or ask Aviva to create any creature power disks based on SCPs

• The Kratt brothers are no longer allowed to ask any interdimensional travelers to bring back extinct animals from timelines where they are not extinct. (See: Fire-Breathing Dodo incident)

• Martin Kratt is no longer allowed to nickname any animal SCPs belonging to any class other than Safe without written permission of a superior.

• Despite being endangered, SCP-247 is NOT to be reintroduced into the wild, even in an extremely remote area. Stop asking.

• The Kratt brothers are still allowed to use Tiger powers to closely observe SCP-247’s behavior, but the powersuit MUST be deactivated IMMEDIATELY after safely leaving SCP-247’s enclosure. One of our personnel thought there were two actual escaped tigers walking the halls and the resulting incident was expensive and chaotic to say the least.

• The first few minutes of SCP-407 are not to be used as an instant reforestation device due to the risks of the recording malfunctioning and continuing to play as well as the risk to anyone unknowingly in the area.

• Veterinary examination rooms are ONLY for animal SCPs and are not to be used for the treatment of any “typical” animals found outside.

• No, having an interesting or unique adaptation does not automatically qualify an animal to receive veterinary treatment at an SCP facility.

• Even if the facility’s veterinary equipment is state-of-the-art, nobody is allowed to try to sneak an animal into a facility’s veterinary exam rooms by pretending the animal qualifies as an SCP. This includes the “psychic” squirrel from last week and the ordinary bird with a broken wing who had very obviously just been through the miniaturizer.

• Yes, SCP-529 loves cheese. No, nobody is authorized to give her cheese. Last time someone did this, SCP-529 followed everyone around meowing loudly for weeks.

I was looking through the people I follow on tiktok because I hit the following limit AGAIN, and I noticed that The Kratt brothers and Dr Bright are right next to each other in my following list.

I find that stupidly hilarious so now I need to come up with a list of things the Kratt brothers aren't allowed to do at the SCP foundation.
