In the World of Animals (Russian: В мире животных, romanized: V mire zhivotnykh) is a Soviet and Russian television program dedicated to zoology and wildlife research, especially the habits and habitat of animals.
It began airing in 1968.
In the early 1970s, the show started with a composition by Paul Mauriat Orchestra Colombe Ivre, with giraffe and rhino depicted in the main titles.
In 1974, the title sequence depicted a flying monkey, running under the ostriches, with the music of Ariel Ramirez's La peregrinación (Pilgrimage) from the Christmas cantata Our Christmas, also in adaptation by Paul Mauriat Orchestra. This screensaver lasted until 2009.
The program was the winner of the TEFI prize in 1996 for Best journalistic program.
