Throughout the episode, the Kratt brothers showcase the importance of respecting and appreciating the adaptations that animals have made in order to survive in urban environments. They also showcase how humans can be better stewards of urban wildlife by creating green spaces and avoiding conflicts with wild animals.
Overall, "City Hoppers!" is an educational and entertaining episode that teaches children about the unique adaptations of urban wildlife and the importance of coexisting with animals in a shared habitat.
