About the Show

The Secret Life of Animals is a celebration of our deep ties to the creatures around us.

The mammal in charge is host Vicki Croke, who has been covering animal issues for more than 20 years on television, radio, and in print. Her entire career has been one big excuse to pat as many animals as possible.
