You are in charge of designing a zoo. Your job is to decide
what animals should be placed in your zoo and what type of
habitat they will need to survive. You will also need to
consider what animals you should group together in your zoo.
Some animals are very similar in nature and may be placed
in the same habitat.
Down below you will find pictures of animals that
you might see at the zoo. If you click on a picture it will take
you to a website that will provide you with information about
that animals habitat, what they eat, and survival tips. All
of this will help you in designing your zoo.
The animals above are just a few that you might place
in your zoo. You also need to consider where to place
opening gates, restrooms, and food places. All of
this is important in making a map of your zoo.
To make your map you will need to see maps of various zoos.
Click the pictures below to view different zoo maps.
Now you are ready to see some of the maps my kids
have created in the past. Just click on the rhino
to see some of their maps.
Now you are ready to sit down and draw your map.
Click on the tiger below to see what components
need to be on your map.
Now that you have made your map, you can have some
fun just exploring the different webcams on the
internet. These webcams will show the animals in
their natural environments. Click the pictures
below to link to these webcams.
Here are some websites that you can visit that
will allow you to have some fun at various zoos!
