Corwin's Quest (Animal Planet)

Corwin's success at capturing an audience is not only thanks to his marvelous animal guests, but also to his enthusiasm for animals and dedication to nature preservation. His excitement encourages viewers to think about how precious the planet's diverse ecosystem is and how now, more than ever, its creatures need our help. By traveling to the remote corners of the earth that viewers may never see, Corwin's Quest educates them about the world outside their neighborhood.

A word of caution: While Corwin's Quest has a lot of positive messages for children and really inspires their curiosity about the natural world, Corwin still does some crazy things -- like wrestling alligators and poking sticks at potentially lethal spiders. Kids need to know that they should never copy what they see and never handle wild animals without parental supervision. But in a world of highly age-specific television, Corwin's Quest is a program that the whole family can watch and really enjoy together -- something that may be an endangered species itself.
