This video's got it all - little kids, baby animals and lively sing-a-long tunes - a perfect mix for an exciting day at the zoo. Lots of giggles and fun are in store as children visit toddling tigers, fuzzy orangutans, furry gorillas and other little newborns. Baby Animals was filmed exclusively at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park. "There's no place like it on earth.

Filled with adorable baby animals, this musical DVD is one that your child will want to watch over and over. A trip through the world famous San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park offers kids a glimpse at young animals interacting with their mothers while helping to instill an early understanding of the importance of animal conservation. Kids will love watching the lovable lions wrestle, cute koalas snuggling with their mom and lots of other baby animals having a fun time. The original lyrics set to friendly child melodies often have references to Baby Genius characters, such as "Frankie loves to watch the baby elephants," as well as appearances by the characters.

Each segment begins with the musical note telling a quick and interesting fact about animals such as, "an elephant's skin is so sensitive, it can feel a fly landing on it" or "meerkats can have between one and six babies at a time." Throughout the individual animal sections, which include elephants, orangutans, polar bears, giraffes and many more sweet baby animals, other facts are weaved into the playful songs. Children will learn that pandas come from China and like to eat bamboo and that giraffes are six feet tall when they are born. The alphabet song gives kids the chance to practice their ABCs and a portion of the panda segment encourages children to count to 10.

Zoo animals are always a popular choice for Emily, the three-year-old I babysit. She thought the baby elephant was "oh so cute!" and enthusiastically counted with the pandas. The shot of the silly gorilla eating bubbles left Emily in a fit of giggles as she tried to tell me, and the gorilla, that you're not supposed to eat the bubbles!
