A weekly series.
Introduced by Johnny Morris with Keith Shackleton.
The World of Animals
In the wild, in the zoo, at home: a magazine of stories about animals constantly illustrating their own kind of magic.
from the South and West

The Animal Magic team have not been idle as you'll see today when the programme begins a new thirteen-week series. 'Keeper' Johnny Morris remembers the occasion when his 'Uncle' Ernie had the task of counting all the animals at Bristol Zoo when they were stocktaking many years ago. A big job, and he was wise to use a bicycle.
Keith Shackleton shows a film about the emergence from the winter months of the Emperor Butterfly.
The winners of last year's 'Wild Life in Tanzania' competition, Anne Murwill of Bidborough, Kent, and Philip Shotton of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, took time off while they were looking at the Tanzanian game reserves to have a picnic beside a rushing jungle stream - and there will be film of this in the programme.
