First Choice has launched a new interactive destination tool aimed at younger travellers and animal enthusiasts, focusing on wildlife around the world. The 'Where in the World?' map allows viewers to look up concise information on different animals globally, and also find out which times seasonally they are more likely to spot them. Younger travellers will be able to find out animal facts such as appearance, eating habits, weight and size, and filter animal types by 'air', 'land' and 'sea'.
