Fooled by Nature (Animal Planet)

The series' entertaining quiz format makes it fun for parents and kids to enjoy together, testing one another's knowledge of animal fact and fiction. For instance, in an episode about peculiarly poisonous animals, the following facts vied for viewers' vote -- can you tell which one is the faker? A turtle that turns the toxins of his prey against his predators, a docile platypus that hides poison in his feet, kangaroos that use toxic saliva to ward off mating competitors, a rare lizard with hunger-halting venom, and a virtually indestructible poisonous toad. If none of those sounds obviously more outrageous than the others, you just might be fooled by the wonders of nature. (Dying to know the answer? It's the kangaroo....)

All of that said, more serious nature fans hoping for an in-depth look at the wild world may be disappointed by the show's quick-hit "Who knew?" informational tidbits.
