    After all her adventures, Apprentice Roxy’s back home in the city.

    She’s still not a proper ranger yet and is worried she’ll never be able to talk to animals.

    And to make it even worse, a rogue magpie has stolen her precious honorary Wildlifer badge.

    Roxy decides she’ll get the badge back all on her own. But during her quest, she keeps getting distracted by all the city wildlife that needs her help.

    Ep 5. The Pond Thief at Bystock Pools
    Oct 14 2024
    Frogs and toads are surprisingly different. For example, lots of people don’t know that frogs hop while toads crawl.

    But now Frog and Toad have the same problem – precious frogspawn has been vanishing from under their noses and their pond is under threat.

    Ranger Rae, Apprentice Roxy, Beaver and Dragonfly try to solve a slippery mystery.

    Who’s been taking the frogspawn, and why?

  • Ep 4. The Mystery of the Giant Bat at Henrhyd Falls

    Ep 4. The Mystery of the Giant Bat at Henrhyd Falls
    Oct 14 2024
    Something strange is happening at Henrhyd Falls. The local animals are reporting a species that’s never seen before. A giant bat? And it’s scaring everyone away from the caves.

    The Wildlifers are on the trail of this odd monster. But as Ranger Rae, Fox and Bat wind through the waterfalls and begin to piece clues together, things get even weirder than they first seemed.

    Can you crack the case with the Wildlifers? What, or who is the mystery Giant Bat? Here’s a clue: Henrhyd Falls featured in a certain film about bats. But not the small flying mammal kind…
