It is the second nature video from the series. It showcases 9 wild animals in 3 different habitats, and is the first nature video to have this topic. It was released on May 15, 2001. It was later reissued twice during the Disney Merger Era, once on February 26, 2002 in which edited out the "Thank You" credit, and again on November 12, 2002 which was retitled as Baby Einstein: World Animals, and had the opening and closing credits style that would be used on all original videos in the Bronze Age, again in that era on August 05, 2003 (the same day Baby Galileo was released), and later sold as just World Animals in the Disney releases. It was later remade sometime in 2004, with some alterations. It is a companion piece to Neighborhood Animals.

Trivia[]
- This is the first appearance of Roary the Lion, Wanda the Fish, and Fox.
- This is the only appearance of Baby Mozart The Yellow Bear and Baby Beethoven The Giraffe in Legends & Lore form (footage of them was later reused in Wild Animal Safari).
- This is Markie Scholz's last video as puppeteer (footage later reused in Discovery Kits)
- This is the only appearance of Hunter and Jake (footage of them was later reused in Wild Animal Safari).
- Wild Animal Safari was based off of this video and Baby Noah.
- This is the last appearance of Akiala.
- This is the last video to feature only Legends and Lore puppets.
- This is the last video to feature the said above until Baby Galileo.
- This is the last video to be distributed by Family Home Entertainment before the acquisition of the Baby Einstein Company by Disney in late 2001.
- World Animals was going to have a forest section with Squirrel, Fox, and Bear, but it was removed because the video may have been too long and Julie stated that the animals may have been hard to see on a forest background.
- However, the 2010 Wild Animal Safari did contain the forest section, which had Bear, Deer, and Otter (the latter from Neighborhood Animals).
- The 2001-2002 DVD Concert Hall has music from the World Animals Soundtrack CD.
- Also on top of that, the World Animals Soundtrack CD is enclosed on the 2001 - 2002 VHS, except on the Late 2002 VHS, which comes with the World Animals Audio Sampler CD that has the same music as the Neighborhood Animals Audio Sampler CD. However, some copies of the Late 2002 VHS come with the World Animals Soundtrack CD.
- This is the second video having Dan Willis in the Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra, the first being Neighborhood Animals, despite him not being credited before the 2004 re-release.
- This is the first video to have classical music by Smetana, Mendelssohn, & Grieg.
- This is the only video to have classical music by Dvořak.
- This is the first video to have a song by Jack Moss.
- The G. G. Giraffe by Iwaya appeared in Baby Bach, the Mr. Monkey by Charm appeared in Baby Shakespeare, and the Giraffe Cone Puppet by Petra Toys and Jack-in-the-Box by Schylling appeared in Baby Van Gogh.
- This video is the first video without Sierra Clark.
- There is evidence of this and Neighborhood Animals being filmed at the same time. Akiala Nanyamka, who is shown singing in Neighborhood Animals and wearing a Year of the Tiger Hat in World Animals, is wearing the same clothes in both scenes.
- This is the first video to have a puppet show after the credits.
Goofs[]
- If you look closely at Jane when she pulls the string to reveal the picture of the jungle, you can see her puppeteer's head pop up for a brief second.
- The page transition from the "monkey" illustration to the "tropical bird" illustration is blue, and the transition from the clip of Akiala wearing Year of the Tiger Hat to the "tropical bird" illustration is yellow. The reason for this is unknown.
- During the Banana Split puppet show with Jane and Murray, you can briefly see Mark Burr's shirt in the top left corner. He was squirting whipped cream. In the 2004 release it is unedited out and visible the whole time.
- In the 2004 release during the Deep Blue Sea scene, there a minor glimpse of the original release's page peel transition during the first verse of the song after the sea turtle picture.
- Also in the 2004 release, at the end of the savanna puppet show, Jared Picune (the editor for the 2004 re-releases) forgot to freeze the clip, causing Baby Beethoven to return to the starting position in a fast swoop.
- In the French and Spanish late-2004 versions, the title card is cropped. But on English, it's normal.
