Animal Planet's menagerie includes more than 1,100 exhibits, including all of the animal superstars.

The earth's animal kingdom has been a favorite topic of multimedia software developers ever since the release of National Geographic's breakthrough Mammals CD-ROM in the late 1980s. Since then, dozens of animal-related titles have slithered, swooped, and swum across our screens.
