Exotic Animals

Hey guys! Looking to attract a lady? Make sure you have big fat cheeks: this signals a potential mate that you have plenty of food in storage. (Disclaimer: for best results, it helps if you're an iguana). Other fascinating facts about various animals, including the wolverine, the giant panda, bats, and the Tasmanian devil, are provided in this news magazine format video from the 10-tape Wild About Animals series that features a wide variety of wildlife knowledgeable commentary by zoo workers, photographers, and conservationists. The overall high quality of the video compensated for the annoying stock music that plays the entire running time; however, I could not overlook the conflicting message sent by 25 minutes of good, solid animal education with a strong conservation push, followed by 5 minutes of fluff about killing and eating puffer fish in sushi restaurants for thrills. Children don't need that kind of confusion. Recommended, but with reservations. Other titles in the series include: Greatest Animal Stories Ever Told, Backstage with Celebrity Animals, Wonderfully Wacky Animals, Animals to the Rescue, Animals of Alaska, and Animal Babies.
