While shows like Animalia Ambassadoria focused on general news, and Cheaper by the Dozens focused on humor, the newest show Project Phoenix Profiles focused on those who used the Animalia virus as a cure for otherwise untreatable conditions. Hosted by Ryan Patterson, the man who played Manny Calavera during the AHE&FF, this show did interviews with Project Phoenix Volunteers, what they did to get into the project, and what they do now that they've been "cured".
There were also a select few from the "de-extinction" projects, mainly from Project Thylacine or Project Cenozoic. There weren't very many members of Project Dinotopia showed, at least not until the official unveiling during the summer, even though that project was the most popular of the three de-extinction projects.

"So you're Marjorie's bondmate?" asked Ryan of Luke, a male Diplodocus who wasn't as built as Andrew, but with longer, more flexible neck and tail. "What made you get into Project Dinotopia?"
"I was suffering from muscular dystrophy syndrome." said Luke, "No matter how hard I worked out, I didn't really build muscle tone. When Project Dinotopia opened to me, I signed up in hopes of getting some actual muscle tone."
"So what made you decide to become a Diplodocus?" asked Ryan.
"I actually liked them while I was growing up." answered Luke, "But I didn't actually meet Marjorie until post-transformation acclimation classes. We've actually got some things in common, such as weight problems early on in life. We're spending some time in relationship classes together before we actually commit to anything.

"So why did you become part of Project Dinotopia?" asked Ryan later of Sam, a male Styracosaur.
"I joined to forever leave behind my cocaine-dependent life behind me." said Sam, with a 'good riddance' tone of voice, "A friend of mine got sold some stuff that was too pure, and died from it. It made me reconsider all the bad decisions I made my life."
"So what are you doing now that you're 'pure'?" asked Ryan.
"I'm mainly working with the PR-MD offices." answered Sam, "I'm making sure that things are done in a way that doesn't say 'Okay, here's how you make this popular.'. I remember when Harry Anslingers' anti-marijuana only succeeded in titillating the population, thereby increasing state-level cannabis arrests; Also, if people are trying to discourage teen pregnancies, don't make a television show out of it."

It seemed fitting to include new episodes of Project Phoenix Profiles after new episodes of Cheaper by the Dozens because it helped balance seriousness with humor. But there were also some amusing (and not-so-amusing) side effects of this. One thing was, after the episodes were aired, there were a lot of comments on the main website afterwards. While some were actual comments, some were more like requests for a date. This would prompt the forming/retrofitting of a new subdivision of the Animalia Website involving the singles, dating, and communication between would-be suitors. The site in its original format was a good start, but with date requests numbering in the tens of thousands, it was time for an overhaul.
