Octonauts is an American kids' TV show broadcasted by CBeebies. It's produced by Brown Bag Films, and Mainframe Studios. Its 1st episode's on October 4, 2010. The show follows a polar bear named Captain Barnacles, and his crew: Kwazii, a cat, Peso, a penguin, Shellington, a sea otter, Dashi, a sausage dog, Tweak, a rabbit, Professor Inkling, a Dumbo octopus, and the Vegimals: Tunip, Grouber, Barrot, Tominnow, and Codish, who live underwater.
