SYNOPSIS
In the Bois Touffu forest, nothing ever happens by chance. An animal disappears, a strange footprint appears in a burrow, an odd shape haunts the thickets. And every mystery deserves a proper investigation.
That is the job of Little Vixen and Snail. Armed with instinct, logic, and boundless curiosity, our two detectives gather witnesses, question suspects, follow the clues, and always crack the case. Even if the path there is rarely straight.
Paws and Clues is a mystery and discovery series about forest animals, their behaviour and their best-kept secrets. With every episode, a new riddle reveals a truth about the living world: the caterpillar that becomes a butterfly, the mushrooms that communicate underground, the birds that organize themselves into societies.
The forest is a world unto itself. A world where friendship, jealousy, fear, and cooperation all exist too. By applying the language of the detective genre to natural science, the series invites young viewers to look at nature differently: not as a backdrop, but as a story already in progress.
