At this virtual zoo, you will find photos of animals, trivia, quizzes and complete information on each species. Try to find out the clue for the brain teaser, or take part in the monthly draw – you may win a nice animal souvenir!

Another virtual zoo, with information on all listed animals and species, as well as the sounds they make. There are plenty of photos also – what' the Web without images, after all? This site is hosted in Italy, thus it's bilingual - English/Italian – so don't worry about the Italian names of some animals in the list.

Very interesting visiting, as this site offers an alphabetical listing of animals living in Australia – and also those which are extinct. Photos and characteristics of each one are included. You'll learn that kangaroos can live for 20 years and can sprint 20 mph for 10 miles or more.

Join in to hear the sounds animals made by animals from around the world. From elephants to owls, all kinds of sounds are included – and not only the sounds, but also each sound's phonetic representation, all in the world's main languages.

Don't be surprised if it seems that the rooster's sound is different in other parts of the world – it is just the phonetic spelling that's different.

A very well-designed site about the pandas, an almost extinct species of fox still living in China. It is illustrated with photos of pandas and typical Chinese songs. You need Macromedia Shockwave to play with the panda – a nice on-line game designed specifically for children.

Pandas have been around since the ice age, two million years ago, but now only 1,000 of them are alive. Find out how you can play a role in their preservation!

These nice little animals from the South Pole have been explored in full by a number of cartoons. Everybody remembers the adventures of little Chilly Willy, and how about our dear Pingu and his family? On this Penguin Page, you will find the description of all 17 penguin species living in Antarctica and in other regions of the world.

Take a look at the site's FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions), learn about the penguin's behavior, check their photos, places where you can see penguins live and also the site's "Penguin-balls" – a list of people's general misconceptions about penguins.

If you prefer marine animals, check this site to see all kinds of algae, medusas, worms, sponges, mollusks, arthropods... Photos taken in the ocean's depths are available, as well as information on each species. First-rated for those interested in the life below sea level.

If you've had enough of pandas, penguins, marine and other living animals, have a look at this site, devoted to animals you will not find in any zoo – dinosaurs! Learn how they lived, which species are known to us and how they are supposed to have disappeared from the Earth's surface (check the meteoroid impact that may have put an end to the dinosaur era).

There is also a dinosaur puzzle, but fortunately they are no longer here to make us afraid of them... Look, what's that thing coming through your window?!
