- Animal Atlas travels the globe to meet every kind of animal imaginable, from the familiar to the astounding. We learn about the way they live, and the adaptations that allow them to survive and thrive in the wild.
- Putting everyday people on the spot by asking them questions they should know the answers to, but often don't. The show's questions vary by subject. The show is produced to be both entertaining and educational.
- We visit the very fast cheetah, horse, and peregrine falcon, the very slow tortoise, and many animals in between.
- A panorama of interesting animals whose looks defy their true identity, from the naked mole rat (not a mole, not a rat), to the okapi, the only living relative of the giraffe.
- A visit into the world of the arachnids, and a vivid explanation of which animals are venomous and why, like the tarantula and the rattlesnake, and which are poisonous, like the poison dart frog.
- A look at the great predatory birds, from the eagle to the hawk to the owl. How they hunt, how they fly, their super senses, and the adaptations that help them to pursue and capture prey.

- A comparative look at the members of the dog and cat family: their super senses, their respective roles as carnivorous predators, which is the fastest, and which is the long distance runner.
- What serves as a head in the animal kingdom? We look at the round and familiar (two eyes, two ears, one nose, one mouth) heads of the primates, to those with long jaws or snouts like the alligator.
- A closer look at the domestic dog: its super senses, how breeding has changed its appearance, the histories of different breeds, and what working dogs do.
- A walk on the wild side with members of the pig family and those rodents whose names have negative connotations but who are really remarkable, if not admirable creatures.
- A look at the many different coverings on animals' bodies. From animals with interesting skin, such as turtles and thick-skinned pachyderms like the hippo and the elephant, to remarkable animals with fur.
- A look at how fish live, swim, and survive. We also look at what's special about fish, both the bony and the cartilaginous. From breathing with gills, to having scales and fins, both single and paired, to a wide variety of coloring.
- A look at animals who have more than the traditional five senses, from the smell-taste sense of animals with the amazing Jacobson organ (snakes, lions, zebras), to animals with the swim bladder, which prevents underwater collisions.
- There is a wide variety of tails in the animal kingdom. From the prehensile tails of the New World monkeys, to the fly swishing tails of the pig family, to the display tails of lemurs, most tails serve a purpose.
- An introduction to animals with wings from birds, to mammals, to insects. We ask what makes flight possible, and necessary, in the animal world.
- The world of the domestic horse, from breeds to breeding, to the biggest and the smallest, to the horse's historic relationship with man.
- A close look at a family of eight chimpanzees who live in a wild-like habitat at the zoo. Hear their individual stories and some amazing facts about the great apes.
- A journey down the life-sustaining river where water dwellers include the humongous Nile hippopotamus, the giant anteater, the river otter, and the strange looking bush dog.
- 2004– TV-GTV EpisodeAn exploratory journey into the Animal Kingdom's greatest mysteries from what exactly is a seahorse, to why can't ostriches fly, to why tigers have stripes, to what on Earth is an elephant's trunk?
- A panoramic look at animals that are truly amazing,from an egg-laying mammal, to a kangaroo that lives in trees, to the only living North American marsupial, the opossum.
- 2004– TV-GTV EpisodeWe correct some of the most whopping misconceptions about animals, from the idea that 'dolphins are fish' (not), to 'bald eagles are bald' (not), to the belief that there's only one kind of elephant (not).
- A panoramic look at a variety of reptiles, from snakes to lizards and alligators to turtles. What makes a reptile a reptile? What characteristics do they all share? What makes them different and why?
- Many animals represent something to us: the lion is courage; the bear is strength and fortitude; the bald eagle is freedom; the kangaroo is progressive, and a whole lot more.
- We delve into the secrets of one of the most beloved insects in the world: the colorful, graceful, winged butterfly: what butterflies eat, how they live and how they fly.
- A very close look at some remarkable animal babies: horse foals, kangaroo joeys, baby porcupines, wolf cubs, water buffalo calves, hawk chicks, baby owls, and ape infants.
- A look at how the Animal Kingdom is divided: those with a backbone, those without; those who eat meat, those who eat only vegetation, and those who eat both.
- An exploration into how animals move on land (hop, walk, crawl, climb), in the water (swim underwater or travel along the water's surface), and through the air (powered flight, gliding and soaring).
- A closer look at the biggest animal in the world, the elephant, and the fastest animal in the world, the cheetah. How they live, and why they are so big and fast, respectively, along with other interesting animals who are either, or both, huge and speedy.
- An in depth exploration of New World monkeys. First, we explore the New World, and look at how the flora, fauna, and monkeys of the Americas differ from their Old World counterparts.
- A panoramic survey of the ruminants, from giraffes to deer to cattle to antelopes to goats to sheep - and more. We divvy the ungulates into groups based on the number of toes they have.
- All about tigers: the various species and how they differ in terms of size, habitat, location, and diet. We meet animals brave enough to live in tiger territory, and compare tigers to the rest of the members of the cat family.
- A panoramic look at invertebrates and insects. First, a basic overview of how invertebrates and vertebrates are different, beyond the obvious prefix, "-in." Then, we delve into the world of the largest group of animals.
- A rollicking and informative romp through the world of those scary "S" creatures: spiders, snakes, scorpions and sharks. We take a closer look at the two arachnids, the fish, and the reptile on the list.
- We delve into the secrets of snakes and lizards, alligators and crocodiles, and turtles and tortoises. How are these animals related and how do they differ?

- A look at the animals living today who were around at the time of the dinosaurs, and even before. We look at how some animals have changed a great deal while others have hardly changed at all.
- A closer look at the sense of sight. Why is seeing so critical for birds? How do some animals see in the dark? How do animals without eyes still "see"?
