Wild Animal Baby was a magazine for children published by the National Wildlife Federation. The magazine was targeted to children ages 2–4, and consisted of readings, pictures, and games designed to teach children about animals. The National Wildlife Federation also publishes Ranger Rick and Your Big Backyard, which are geared towards older children. Wild Animal Baby, along with Big Backyard, was discontinued in December 2012. The two magazines merged to create a new magazine called Ranger Rick Jr.
