Production

The series was filmed in Toronto, Canada. Deborah A. Forte and Bill Siegler are the executive producers of the series. The animals used in this series were supplied by the Bowmanville Zoo, and Homer, the Golden Retriever who is Jake's dog was trained by Bryan Renfro. Due to budget issues, and for logistical and safety reasons, the morphs of the characters from the books were changed and the others were omitted, with Jake having the white tiger morph, Tobias' morph being a Harris's hawk rather than a red-tailed hawk, and Rachel having the lion morph rather than an elephant and grizzly bear. Also, instead of Cassie, Marco has the wolf morph, rather than a gorilla.
