This month Discovery Channel will continue airing a one-hour Discovery Kids Programming block every Saturday and Sunday from 7:30am (AEST). Discovery Kids aims to encourage children to explore and learn about the world around them.

In September, Discovery Kids will be exploring the coolest wild animals around, through our Growing Up series. In each episode we will meet a baby from the wild kingdom and witness how the baby grows and experiences the wonders of life. So come along and cuddle up with some of the most exotic animals on the planet.
