Wild About Animals is the 18th album by the much-loved children's music group Sharon, Lois & Bram. It was first released in 1997. This album is a special collection of their best songs all about animals! You could find it on cassette tapes and CDs.

The album was released on the group's very own record label, Elephant Records. This happened after they stopped working with their previous distributor in the U.S. Because of this, Wild About Animals was only sold in Canada. The group called it their "musical tribute to fur, feathers, feelers and fins," celebrating all kinds of creatures!
