'''Martin William Kratt''' (born December 23, 1965) is an American educational nature show host (the equivalent to the UK’s Terry Nutkins or Chris Packham - Really Wild Show). A grandson of musical-instrument manufacturer William Kratt,[1] he and his younger brother Chris grew up in Warren Township, New Jersey,[2] and together created the children's television series Kratts' Creatures and Zoboomafoo, as well as Be the Creature, which runs on the National Geographic Channel and Knowledge Network. They are the main characters on the animated TV series Wild Kratts, Martin holds a Bachelor of Science in Zoology from Duke University.[3]

He also has a mantis which has been named after him and his brother Chris: BONUS MARTINS:

Which leads me onto one of his favourite mammals from the animal kingdom:

The very popular Pine marten (Martes martes), agile beasts with acute hearing, what’s that you say! Yes, acute hearing.

They are also very popular when it comes Martinmas period, these little critters are very popular around this time of year and can cause some confusion when certain articles are put to the board.

Maybe come December 2016 we should look to maybe culling the numbers to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again.
