Condition of Item

Game Description
The Encyclopedia of Animals and Nature proves useful for both browsing and research. On the research side, there is a database of 700 animal species. When you look UP one animal you get pictures, sometimes movies, and descriptive text. There is also usually a link to a related creature. Look up Heron, for example, and you can link straight into the Cattle Egret, and from there to the Bittern.
You can find out where the Heron (or any other animal) fits in the overall classification system of animals, and also take a look at other elements of the bigger picture such as continental drift, the effects of Ice Ages, on the current locations of the world's wildlife, world climate and other factors.
Bioramas are great for browsing through. These are 360 degree panoramas, covering 13 different habitats from tundra to savanna, desert to rainforest. As you move around them animals that live in the habitat become visible, and a quick click takes you to the information screen where you can learn more about them.
No CD ROM like this would be complete without a quiz, and in this case your job is to answer multiple choice questions to try and beat the high score of the current leader--Charles Darwin. The Encyclopedia of Animals and Nature is informative and easy to use. It would be a good addition to any animal-lover's library.
