World of Animals excites learners with fun, factual information and rich multimedia on their favorite animals, from monkeys, giraffes, and penguins, to lesser-known creatures including axolotls, sugar gliders, and wetas. Not to mention prehistoric animals and dinosaurs!

Kids can browse the stunning gallery of animals, search for animals by name, or filter their favorites by category. Each animal gets its own profile page, featuring multimedia and quick facts about the animal's habitat, size, diet, lifespan, and conservation status along with fun facts, such as a honey bee's “waggle dance,” the length of time a cockroach can live without its head, and what makes a flamingo chick's gray feathers turn pink.

What's the difference between an alligator and a crocodile? A gorilla and an orangutan? What about a tiger and a saber-toothed cat? Kids take their understanding of animals further by analyzing the differences and similarities between animal species using the World of Animals' simple but powerful compare tool.

Which animals can live more than 100 years? What animal moves even slower than a tortoise? What is the largest animal that has ever lived? (Hint: It's not a dinosaur!) Rank animals to see how they stack up against each other in terms of weight, height, length, lifespan, land speed, and more. Order the animals from highest to lowest (or lowest to highest) and link back to the animal's profile for more information.
