Bush Baby spanned 52 episodes from beginning to end. It was broadcast in both Japan & Canada. The North American dub was released in Canada on TV by Cinelume. This series had a very large chunk of realism to it. Jackie the daughter of the game warden, is given a small bush baby which she raises. She names the bush baby Murphy. Through many adventures we see a realistic look at the world. Also we meet many of Jakie's friends, such as Micky, a boy at her school, or one of her other friends Sally, a young girl who also attends school with her.
The story begins in 1964, in Kenya when young Jackie begins to travel the Savannah. Her father is a game warden, who has a loyal African assistant, Tenbo. The area is troubled by poachers, whom the wardens are unable to catch. After some time, Jackie's father loses his job because of Kenyan-isation, and Jackie's family prepares to return to England, where they originally came from. At Mombasa, Jackie realised she has lost the papers for her pet bush-baby, and leaves the ship, which sails without her. Luckily she meets up with Tenbo, who has been over-zealous spying on the poachers' export warehouse. Not only that, but he's been accused of kidnapping Jackie!
If anyone can get ahold of this series then do! It's very worth your while.
