National Geographic Wolves
"A wolf’s community——its pack, its prey, and its competitors——is dynamic and delicate. The survival of these controversial predators hinges on both natural and human forces. Explore these forces and see how they touch wolves, elk, cattle, and coyotes. The story is told through the use of amazing photographs and powerful words. What else would you expect from National Geographic? It is my pick of the day, and includes a K-12 activity guide for both families and classrooms."

National Geographic Cyber Tiger
""Congratulations, zookeeper. Your zoo is about to receive its first-ever Siberian tiger. He’s being moved to your zoo by the Siberian Tiger Species Survival Plan, a group of zookeepers trying to save the big cats by breeding them in zoos.

This interactive story is an example of what makes the Net great. Come play zookeeper and help prepare your zoo for the arrival of your Siberian tiger. "
