SanDiegoZoo.org

I am a zoo lover. And, I would not dare try to convince anyone that an online experience is anywhere near as wonderful as a day at a real zoo. But if a visit to a really nice zoo is not a feasible option, then there is probably no other experience as close to the real thing as the virtual experience at the San Diego Zoo online. You can look a baboon dead in the eye, which may not be the wisest thing to do at a real zoo. You'll find well-written descriptions of dozens of animals. Web cams and dozens of videos also can be viewed by visitors. The site allows visitors to send free e-postcards with images of some of the zoo's more famous residents. In Kid Territory you can print zoo-themed recipes, play nine different online games, read about a zookeeper's daily work, and view Q&As. Love this site--love it, love it, love it!

National Geographic

We all remember the stacks of National Geographic magazines from our youth. They are as much a part of our childhood memories as Weekly Reader, Show 'n' Tell and Taco Day in the school cafeteria. This website features special sections for kids, educators and parents. Explore the animal kingdom, people and places, history, the arts; explore the world.
