Test your zoo smarts.

DID YOU KNOW?
• Spider monkeys are so named because they
look like spiders when they hang from trees?
• Bats are very important to the environment,
even though they may look pretty scary? They
help pollinate the forest and keep down the
insect population.
• Dolphins might like a kiss, but a hug makes
them feel trapped?

Discover these and many other amazing animal facts as you explore the world's wildlife with Jack Hanna, Director Emeritus of the Columbus Zoo. Along the way, you'll also learn what's being done to preserve the animals and their habitats.

This episode takes you on a fascinating journey to Mexico where you'll meet the living treasures of the rainforest, mountains, desert and sea. At your first stop, ZooMat, in the southern state of Chiapas, the seven-month-old caiman looks like a tiny alligator and is so small you can hold him in your hands. But watch out for mom! She's quite a bit bigger and you wouldn't want to get your hands anywhere near her huge, spike-toothed jaws. A splashing good time awaits you at the Yucatan coast where you'll visit the bath of ancient Maya Indians. Dive right in and swim with the new inhabitants, a family of fun-loving, playful dolphins.

Your exploration of Mexico continues as you cruise down a canal on a nature reserve for a rare look at the sleek, regal jaguar. Then take the plunge for an underwater visit to a magical coral reef. This strange, billowing structure is actually made from the skeletons of living animals.

Get an up-close look at a rich, diverse cast of furry, feathered and finned creatures and meet the Mexican people who are working hard to preserve their beautiful, exotic land.
