Hello, sorry to bother. However how did you manage to view the Akili Kids livestream? I've been trying since yesterday to view and I've even gone on multiple free trials for VPN's. However, it keeps giving me the message "This live stream isn't available right now." Thank you in advance for any help :)

hello! it’s no problem at all :)

the thing about the stream i’ve found is that it has a few rules to it. no idea why. but here’s the rundown for why you’re probably getting that message:

it starts 6 am at nairobi time, although usually a few minutes late—which is often fine since the first 5 minutes after 6 are an ad run, although there are times it might start about 10 minutes after 6 at the max. no clue when it ends exactly but i’m pretty sure it’s around 10 or 11 pm. although the tv runs all night long, the stream, unfortunately, does not. you’ll need to see what those times translate into for your timezone and adjust accordingly.

also, it doesn’t seem to run during the weekends? i don’t exactly frequently check but the times i have it seems to be down even at the usual times on weekends. you can check for yourself since i usually only watch it for the 6 am to 7 am time block and it might just start later than usual and i just dont realize.

there might be a few rare days where the stream just goes down. also no clue why but usually you can see when it is gonna be One Of Those Days™ because the stream will buffer a lot until it starts trying to buffer and then does not load again. might be internet issues on their end? but again, not sure.

additionally, since you mentioned it; you don’t actually need a vpn to watch it. i’ve watched it with american ips and european ips and havent had any problems. it isn’t a region-locked stream so you’re good there.

there should be more instances of the cps being mistaken for cryptid shit. yk? like the golden snub nosed monkey ep where martin spent the whole thing being mistaken for a yeti but more insane. one of them goes human-size in a bug suit and some random sees and thinks mothman????? one of them wanders around in the moose suit standing up straight and some poor hiker is like OH FUCK A WENDIGO.

more of them. this time season 4 :)

i feel like this season they started experimenting a bit more with how they animate certain things. musk ox mania is a good example bc they had those impact effects and also that transformation at the end. also the liturgusa krattorum magical girl transformation

part 1 | 2 | you are here | ?

additionally i am a big fan of this bonus tbh

archive has it here if you want to either watch directly on their site or download. the torrent only covers season 1 and a little of season 2 so you'll have to download the rest individually.

if you do want to download theres also a google drive that has it here if you don’t mind not having the live action parts for seasons 1, 2, and 5, and having to get season 3 elsewhere. they do have subtitles though on the mkv files if you want those and are smaller file sizes than the archive's versions.

the “specials” or “movies” are on both the archive link and a few on youtube via the official pbs kids account.

speaking of pbs kids' yt you can also find some episodes there if you'd prefer. their wk playlist is here. they only have the outfoxed ep of season 7 but you can watch the rest of it here if you set a vpn to canada. im sure theres also some other yt uploads of season 7 but idk their quality

Does anyone know anywhere else to watch all of Wild Kratts besides Amazon Prime??

yee-ha yippie !!!!!

ok hello @cat-noodles123 i’ve been having something of a journey trying to find be the creature episodes and it has been. a trip.

first and foremost: those two season 2 episodes on youtube have a slightly better quality versions on vimeo, 360p versus 540p.

second of all: if you want to watch season 1 and dont want to pay the weirdly high prices trying to buy the complete collection online, check your local library system! check your not-so-local library systems even, if your library has interlibrary borrowing programs.

third of all: season 2 episodes are OUT THERE. oh my god i dont even know how the hell i got here but i got to watch the season 2 leopard episode today. akili kids!, known as “kenya’s first free-to-air children’s tv station”, runs be the creature episodes at various local times depending on the day (check their schedule for what days and what times), and have a live stream of their show on their website. im not sure which episodes they run, but they definitely have at least that season 2 episode and most likely have more.

Hello, I am currently on a quest to find somewhere I can re watch (legally or not) be the creature and youtube only has 4 or 5 episodes uploaded to it. Do you happen to know of anywhere that streams it?

Hello @cat-noodles123 I don't know if there's any place that streams Be the Creature which is a shame honestly been trying to find more BTC content for about 8 years now, but I know of a few more episodes on YouTube besides what I'm assuming are the classic 4 episodes ( Brown Bears, Lions, Lemurs and Wild Dogs) I know there's the Mannatee episode on YouTube now As well as 2 season 2 episodes (Orangutans and Komodo Dragons) but sadly those are the only ones available that I could find on YouTube in English. On the Legal side you can buy the Complete First Season of Be the Creature which is what I have and they contain a couple of episodes that aren't in online (or the episodes not in English online) which includes the (Coastal Creatures, Japanese Macaque, Chimps, Mongoose, Sharks, Bats, Kangaroo and Baboons). Sorry I couldn't be much help, again I've been trying to find BTC stuff for what seems like forever.
