Really Wild Animals is an American direct-to-video children's nature television series, hosted by Dudley Moore as Spin, an anthropomorphic globe.[1] Comprising 13 episodes, it was released between March 2, 1994[2] and October 21, 1997.[3] It was nominated for five national Daytime Emmy Awards and won one.
Released by the National Geographic Society, the series educates children about many different species of animals. It goes to every continent, describing the wildlife on each one and also focuses on one specific group of animals, such as dogs, cats, endangered animals, and animals from Asia, the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, the Australian Outback and the African savanna.
Songs were written, produced, and mostly performed by Alan O'Day and Janis Liebhart. At the end of an episode, Spin says, "But (you know), there are lots more Really Wild Animals all across this wonderful world of ours, so be sure to join me on our next (exciting) adventure. Until then, this is your pal Spin. Spin ya later!"
