Take an animal-filled adventure across a wide range of U.S. habitats. From cliff-diving puffins to desert-dwelling snakes, kids will discover that the United States has LOTS of weird, wild, and rare animals.

Did you know there is a lizard that can shoot blood out of its eyes?

Or that some bats can eat 1,200 bugs in one hour?

Have you ever seen a worm that lives in blocks of ice?

The craziest part is ... these animals might live near you!

The United States is full of unique animals; there are creepy creatures, vicious hunters, and brilliant builders. You can even find some of the fastest, smartest, and hungriest species on Earth!
