These Animal Games were inspired by the Animal Cards that were originally created for the Animal Insights book. This book features a unique way to get insights about yourself and to learn about what you can gain from the qualities of a particular animal. The idea is to think about your associations with that animal and how that can apply them to yourself. These same cards can also be used to play a series of fun games. Since there are 144 cards, which can easily be combined in various ways to play a variety of classic and new games, such as Animal Poker, Animal Tales, and more.

The sense of sight helps an animal stay safe from predators, find food and shelter, defend its territory, and care for its young. We can tell a lot about an animal from its eyes: whether it is predator or prey, whether it is more active during the day or night, and sometimes even its gender or age. Award-winning nature photographer and environmental educator Mary Holland shares fascinating animal eyes with listeners of all ages.

Fall in love with these backyard animals as they are nursed back to health and released back to the wild when possible.

Just like humans, animals use their homes for shelter and to raise their young. Animal homes might be easy to see, or they may be hidden (camouflaged) for protection. Some animals are great builders, and other animals borrow homes that other animals have made. Different animals might just use natural places like caves or holes in trees to make a home. And some animals might even carry their home on their back! Sticks, mud, leaves, cotton, and grass are all things that animals might use to build a home.
