WILD KRATTS is an action-comedy TV series on PBS Kids about two brothers who teach children about wild animals. Chris and Martin Kratt are high-tech zoologists who study wildlife from across the world. In the season two episode, “HappyTurkey Day,” a mischievous chef threatens to poach a wild forest turkey for Thanksgiving. Will the Kratts be able to keep turkeys off the menu?
