Animal Atlas is a half-hour educational wildlife television series that "takes children on a tour of discovery, uncovering the secrets of how animals live and thrive. Young viewers meet animals from the familiar to the astounding, and the domesticated to the wild, including the diverse creatures of the African savanna, the finned and flippered of the big deep, and the colorful cast of the equatorial rainforest." {{Cite quote|date=November 2013}} The series is produced by Midori Entertainment and Longneedle Entertainment, LLC, a subsidiary of Bellum Entertainment Group. It premiered in national syndication in 2004. As of 2018, 286 episodes had been produced, all in high-definition. Hearst Television's "Go Time!" program block broadcasts Animal Atlas to independent television stations across America.

A Spanish dub of the series, re-titled Reino Animal premiered on Telefutura in September 2005.
