Key animal facts, including physical features, natural environment, and survival status, combine with specific details of zoo life, such as feeding and healthcare. Covering a lot of ground, often with more than one animal group, results in a sometimes scattered flow, but there's plenty of intriguing information. Features include a brief interview with a keeper, a "day in the life of the zookeeper," and a look at a specific zoo that houses the animals in question. Average-quality captioned photographs depict the creatures in various settings, highlighting the zoo habitats and major activities.
