Wild About Animals is the 18th album by popular children's entertainers Sharon, Lois & Bram, originally released in 1997. It featured the trio's very best songs about animals and is available on cassette and CD. This album was only released on the trio's own Elephant Records, after the trio dropped their previous U.S. distributor, Drive Entertainment. Hence, this product was only available in Canada. It was dubbed the trio's "musical tribute to fur, feathers, feelers and fins".^[1]

Touring and promotions
