Introduction
Welcome to Glickman Zoo!
We are looking for some new animals and we have called you in as experts to help us choose which animals will be the best fit for our zoo. We are very careful in creating the zoo enclosures and need to have all of the information before we choose. We need to know the anatomy, diet, habitat, habits and behaviors, lifespan, reproduction (how many, how often, special circumstances) and other interesting facts for your animal. Please be sure to warn us if your animal needs to be kept away from other animals as well. We are so happy to have an expert here to speak with us and look forward to your presentation about your animal.
Task
Using the following websites find information regarding each of the important pieces of information about your animal. Use the graphic organizer to collect your thoughts. It is your job to be the expert on your animal and knowing all of the facts is key.
