Animal Web Quest

Mission

    As a new zookeeper in the local zoo, you have decided to add a new animal to the zoo.  You need to know as much information about the animal before you can decide to add it to the zoo.  There is a lot to do before it arrives.  An appropriate habitat must be constructed.  Food needs to be purchased.  Plus, the other zookeepers need to know how to care for the new animal.  To do this you must use the web sites below to gather information for a report to be given to the other zookeepers.

Take your time!

Remember...the more information you have, the better prepared you and the other zookeepers will be!
