We had recieved this as a gift about 2 years ago and still love it. Very educational and fun to go behind the scenes and watch the zoo staff care for the animals.

As a special educator, I found this to be an excellent way of preparing my high school disabled students for our trip to the zoo. The pace, graphics and overall presentation was excellent and well-suited for any special ed class or elementary class. I thought the video was very comprehensive as it not only showed what a day would be like going to the zoo, but also showed "behind the scenes activities". The special bonus was especially fun for all of us. Truly an exceptional video for young students and those with special needs.

In this BIG Adventure, you get to go behind the scenes of the Baltimore Zoo, meeting animals and their caretakers up-close. I think no one would deny that a lot of work goes on behind the scenes to keep a Zoo in tip-top shape, and this video, I am sure just exposes a tip of the iceberg so to speak!

You will learn about a variety of occupations at the Zoo, and not just the animal caretakers, but the groundskeepers and cleaning crews. See "cooks" in action, preparing meals for the various animals kept by the Zoo. See how animals are fed, including a boa constrictor. For some the detail in this shot may be a bit much, but not gory as you see a snake swallow a dead rat whole. You will even get to see a Venus Flytrap being fed!

This Little Mammoth DVD is a great compliment to The Big Aquarium!
