Animals of the World offers 30 minutes of video and more than 400 pictures of a variety of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians that have existed on Earth throughout the ages. From exotic animals of Africa to household pets, factual, text-based screens and photos are provided for each animal, with several entries supplemented by short videos of the creature in action. The material is organized by topic according to type (e.g., insect) or characteristic (e.g., hairy), with a number of alphabetical indexes offering easy access to specific animals or articles. A Special Topics section offers in-depth overviews of interesting groups like whales, prehistoric animals, domesticated pets, and specific ages. ~ Eden Miller, All Game Guide
