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.

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.

Who’s been taking the frogspawn, and why?

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…

Who knew that there are rainforests in the UK?

The Wildlifers’ wits are tested when they try to catch a green-fingered thief in Borrowdale Rainforest in the Lake District. 

Someone has been stealing lichen, a strange plant life form that’s made of fungus and algae, and is essential for forest life.

While the gang are solving the puzzle, they meet a local, Cuckoo. But there’s something a bit strange about this bird. Can they trust Cuckoo or will their feathered friend land them in trouble?

The Wildlifers must navigate the snowy peaks of the mighty Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain.

Golden Eagle has called for the gang’s help to find a mystery hiker who’s gotten themselves stuck. Ranger Rae, Apprentice Roxy, Deer and Bat are on the case.

Ben Nevis is home to unique characters, like Mountain Hare, who camouflages themselves against the snow and has a disconcerting habit of popping up unannounced.

Bat gets the ride of his life on the back of his new friend Eagle to locate the hiker. He just needs to stay awake long enough in the daytime to make the mission a succezzzzzz...
