Hace referencia a un programa de naturaleza salvaje. Me imagino que debe ser un juego de palabras o un modismo. Mi traduccion tentativa es: "La he visto con dos niños que se han involucrado y quedado absortos,...
I’ve watched it with two wrapped and rapt infants,....
I’ve watched it with two wrapped and rapt infants,....

English term (edited):

Lo he visto en compañia de dos niños envueltos y absortos.
Supongo que “wrapped” significa “envueltos en mantas” mientras “rapt” sí significa “absortos”/”inmersos”.
Suerte.
Suerte.

: I think "wrapped" here means "wrapped up" by the programme, nothing to do with blankets.

Not sure about this. At least in US English, it would not be usual to describe someone as being "wrapped up in a program" in the sense of "immersed in it." Further more, if this were the case, it would have the exact same meaning as "rapt."

: The English would have little sense, and the word play would be nil, in your interpretation of "wrapped" and "rapt" having the same meaning.
