If your family bought a new computer in 1993 it might of come with a copy of "The Animals!" which at the time fascinated me to no end. Uploading in case anyone else has fond memories of this classic CD-ROM from the 90s. I've put together 10 minutes of what for me were the most memorable videos from the virtual tour of the park.
Sorry about the quality, they didn't compress video very well back in 1992 when this was made. :P
"This CD-ROM can be used to explore biomes and animals. There is an abundance of information about each animal. Ecological concerns and endangered animals are presented making this an excellent tool for student research, especially since the CD-ROM has a copy to disk and print feature. The contents include: * Biome Exhibits: 10 bioclimatic zones * Animal Exhibits: video clips, animal sounds. * Special Exhibits: e.g. Kids Corner * Guided Tours: with narration by Zoo expert * Stories: Animal adventures * Multimedia extras: Search, Help, Media Library, Copy to disc options, and Manual.
System Requirements

School Library Journal. October, 1993, Page 49:
"This is a wonderful tool for exploring biome, animals, and
zoos of the world. In addition to abundant information about
animals, the program raises many important issues of ecology
and survival of endangered species."
OMG! I'M BLOWN AWAY.
I HAD this! I guarantee I still have the CD, too! Little silver one with the gold paws on it? Yeah! :D :D
