A weekly series introduced by Johnny Morris with Tony Soper.
A magazine of stories about animals, sometimes in the wild, sometimes in the home, and sometimes in the zoo-but always magical.
From the West
In America the iguana is becoming popular as an exotic pet; but how friendly can it be? Johnny has one in the studio today to find out. He also brings along his own pet mynah bird, Dicklow. Though mynahs are excellent mimics they are slightly temperamental and do not make the best pets for children. By far the safest are goldfish, and Johnny shows how interesting they can be when filmed to music.
Tony Soper visits Minsmere in Suffolk, a nature reserve run by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and makes some intriguing discoveries. The programme also includes some film from Germany about the lively antics of a foal.
