About this listen

 Follow the adventures of Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers, a crew of colourful creatures who use their special skills to help where there's trouble in nature.

Beaver’s a super engineer. Sleepy Bat’s skill is sonar. Wildcat’s a proud predator. Deer’s strong and speedy. Fox has a nose for trouble. Shy Mole’s an expert digger, and Dragonfly’s always buzzing.

Ranger Rae’s the leader and can understand animals. And 12-year-old Apprentice Roxy dreams of becoming a real Ranger and being able to talk to wildlife too.

In each story, the Wildlifers go on a curious case. They travel to different places in the natural world, from coastlines and remote islands to forests and city streets, and meet a host of weird and wonderful creatures along the way.

Perfect for 5-8 year olds.

    Ep 6. Roxy’s City Odyssey
    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.

    But now Frog and Toad have the same problem – precious frogspawn has been vanishing from under their noses and their pond is under threat.

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

    Who’s been taking the frogspawn, and why?

    Ep 4. The Mystery of the Giant Bat
    Oct 14 2024
    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…
