Story

Sherlock Yack is a French animated television series created by Victor Moulin and produced by Futurikon. The show follows the adventures of Sherlock Yack, a talking, anthropomorphic yak who is the head of the police department in New York Zoo.

Sherlock Yack is assisted by his loyal assistant, Hermione, a smart and resourceful stoat. Together, they solve crimes and keep the peace in the zoo. Sherlock Yack is a brilliant detective who uses his keen observation skills and deductive reasoning to solve mysteries. He is also known for his love of tea and his tendency to quote famous detectives like Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.

The series features a colorful cast of animal characters, including Lemur, a bumbling police officer who often gets in the way of Sherlock Yack’s investigations; Gorilla, the bouncer at Baboon’s restaurant, who is sometimes a suspect in the crimes Sherlock Yack investigates; and Platypus, a shy and timid character who often provides crucial clues to solving the mysteries.

Each episode of Sherlock Yack features a different crime or mystery for Sherlock Yack and Hermione to solve. The crimes range from thefts and robberies to more serious crimes like kidnapping and murder. Sherlock Yack and Hermione use a combination of logic, deduction, and forensic science to piece together the clues and catch the culprit.

The show also features a strong environmental message, with many episodes highlighting the importance of conservation and protecting wildlife. For example, in one episode, Sherlock Yack investigates a series of thefts of endangered bird eggs, which leads him to uncover a smuggling ring. In another episode, he helps to rescue a group of animals who are being forced to perform in a circus.

Overall, Sherlock Yack is an entertaining and educational animated series that teaches children about detective work and the importance of protecting animals and the environment. The show’s clever writing, colorful animation, and memorable characters make it a fun and engaging watch for viewers of all ages.
