My grandkids love the program Animal Planet, especially SuperFetch. So I decided to visit their website to see what other interesting tidbits they had to offer. This site is an excellent resource for learning all about wildlife in practically every species. They offer a wild animal guide, a butterfly guide, one for birds, insects and more. There are games, puzzles and even videos of their shows. Each link takes you to a series of selections such as the top 100 wild animals. When you arrive there, the #100 most popular animal is, believe it or not, a scorpion. There's a picture of one and then an overview of scorpions in general. #99 is the spider. What I really like is the small Did You Know? box which informed me that the Goliath birdeater tarantula can grow to the size of a dinner plate. And yes, it lives up to its name. You'll have to visit the site to learn the #1 most popular animal in the world. I don't want to spoil it for you. (No, it's not the panda.)
