There's always something strange going on in the “Bois-Touffu” forest: an animal that disappears? An odd footprint in a burrow? A strange shape haunting the thickets? Don't panic: Little Vixen and Snail - the forest detectives - are on the case, ready to solve the investigation. Armed only with their exceptional sense of smell and logic, Little Vixen and Snail analyse the clues, question the witnesses, follow the leads, formulate hypotheses and always discover the truth... even if sometimes it could almost have escaped them!

Synopsis :

“Paws & Clues” is a series of mystery and discovery about forest animals, their environment, and their hidden features. In each episode, Little Vixen and Snail are confronted with a new mystery. Who stole Deer’s antlers? Where has Caterpillar disappeared to? What is this winged menace whose cries we hear but never see?

As close as possible to the codes of the detective series (as in Agatha Christie or Arthur Conan Doyle), our two investigators gather witnesses, ‘subtly’ question suspects, look for evidence in unexpected places, and interweave their thoughts to successfully complete their investigations.

Through playful, funny, and engaging stories, we learn more about an animal or a plant, how they behave in their environment, etc. At the end of each episode, our two investigators unravel the enigma, and we learn with them a truth about the natural world sourrounding us. We learn, for example, that the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly and gains new defence and locomotion abilities. Each piece of information expands our knowledge of living things.
