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.^[1][2]

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.^[3]

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.^[4] This screensaver lasted until 2009.

The program was the winner of the TEFI prize in 1996 for Best journalistic program.
