Who else had a subscription to Wildlife Fact File as a kid?

[Jarrod38]

For some strange reason this subscription pop in my head and I've always wondered what happened to our collection. I think me and my sister had three binders full of great facts. I don't think we ever used them for school let alone how or why we got these to start with.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

i had a binder of it that i loved. Don't know where i got it from.

We had some Zoobooks instead. Don't know if we had a subscription or just a collection of the free ones they would send to get you to subscribe.

Would be great to have these come out again with updated facts and see what animals are now extinct.

These are still sitting on a book shelf at my mom's house.

This isn't Zoobooks or Ranger Rick BEGONE

 

[Curler]

I had about 10 of them, as they were sent in the mail at some point as samples. Wasn't allowed to get more ordered though... I remember seeing a more completed binder in one of my class libraries and wish I had the set.

There were also these square two-sided animal cards I remember my cousins and I had a bunch of.

Yup, had that same green box and all those cards. Loved the one monkey with the long nose

Lol, now it's funnier as an adult.

 

[Curler]

These were the other ones. I loved both styles.

 

[LycanXIII]

I had a couple of those, and I also had the Weird N Wild Creatures subscription. That one was cool since it had prehistoric and cryptozoology in it too.

 

[tsmoreau]

Yo I had soooo many binders of these things

 

[Stardust Handshake]

Yes! I had two whole binders of these and loved them! No clue where they are now

oh my god yes I loved these when I was 6, I had maybe 100

I had no idea they made so many. I want them again.

 

[Berserker976]

I remember having a ton of these as a kid, like 7-8 full binders of the things.

It's where I learned about neat, tough little mammal called the "ratel" that quickly became my favorite animal. It only took the rest of the word another decade and a half to acknowledge its greatness.

The best part about the big ol' green case of animal cards that I think was missing from the binder approach was the ability to grab a random handful to read quickly, on the crapper or otherwise.

 

[Jovo]

Wow I'm teleporting back in time, yes I had a few of those binders, no idea where they are now.

 

[Plywood]

We had at least two binders growing up. I used to be able to recite them off memory. 😔

 

[KujoJosuke]

I had like 3 binders and a bunch of zoobooks

loved that shit as a kid

 

[Lumination]

Dang I've been teleported back to the 90s. I had these.... basically 2 pg color pamphlets, each one detailing an animal, geological thing (like volcanos) or weather thing (like types of cloud). They were in color and roughly the size of a regular sheet of paper. They definitely looked more modern than the stuff in the OP. Now I need to figure out what they were...

 

[Kodama4]

Omg yes... I did.. I think I have them still stored somewhere

 

[StrangerDanger]

I was cleaning out my family home and i actually stumbled upon my collection, which i still have and i keep it in my mini book shelf. Also i remember them mailing me random ones with fighter jets and such, which i think may have been for a different collection but i kept them all in the same binder

 

[mhayes86]

I definitely had a binder and info sheets from some wildlife subscription, but it didn't look like that.

After some searching, I'm pretty sure it was Wildlife Explorer.

We also had random ones like the tomcat. My favorite one was the Portuguese Man o War

[Rsinart]

I did as a kid. Now that I have a kid my dad has given me two binders full for my son haha.

 

[Jersa]

They were fantastic. My grandparents would order them for me. There was also a series of aviation ones they got me.
