    Oct 14 2024
    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.

    Does Roxy have what it takes to become a true Ranger?

    Find out in the series finale of Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers.

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

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

    Who’s been taking the frogspawn, and why?
