Children of all ages (even parents) can choose a Neopet (similar to Pokemon creatures) to play games with, feed, etc. In order to buy your Neopet toys, food, weapons (to challenge another Neopet if you wish), etc. you must collect Neopoints. To do so, there are a ton of neat games (eg. Bingo, Hide and Seek, Treasure Hunt, etc.), all rated by skill level. Usability: great — games download quickly. Site is easy to navigate, which is like a small community. Great fun!

A nice place for pets and people who love them. They teach how to care for pets and they also have games, contests and a cool kids page.

Far from the hustle and bustle of shopping malls and crowded parking lots, the site features live daily feeds of elephant seals in their natural habitat, from the shores of California’s Ano Nuevo State Reserve. Among other things, visitors can learn interesting factoids about the curious animals. While humans gain anywhere from five to ten pounds during the holiday season, the elephant seals are doing their fair share of eating too, consuming as much as 45 pounds of fish a day to maintain their 1000 pound girth.

Cute, baby squirrels, with lots of interesting pictures captured in this back yard. Close up view of the nutty furry friends being themselves. Daily live views inside the nest. This site is EXCELLENT for nature lovers young and young-at-heart.
