Wild Animal Baby was a magazine for children published by the National Wildlife Federation.[1] The magazine was targeted to children ages 2-4, and consisted of readings, pictures, and games designed to teach children about animals.[2] The National Wildlife Federation also publishes Ranger Rick and Your Big Backyard, which are geared towards older children.[3]

Each issue of Wild Animal Baby was based in Reston, Virginia[4] and featured a particular animal on the cover, and has multiple features that recur in each issue. "Out and About" follows the adventures of a variety of children from different cultures. A "search" page appeared in each issue where children are directed to find animals from a list within the picture. The mascot "Sammy Skunk" appears on five pages throughout the magazine for children to try to find.

The magazine characters were also featured in a television show called Wild Animal Baby Explorers.[3] The show introduces preschoolers to the world of animals and helps them develop important observation, problem-solving and listening skills. The series combine 3-D animated characters and wildlife footage to introduce fascinating animal facts and nurture young viewers’ inherent love for nature.

Wild Animal Baby was discontinued in 2012.
