San Diego Zoo Extra Credit
Directions: Go to each section in the zoo. Choose one animal. Write down the information for each animal. Shade the map in the parts of the world where that animal is from (use the signs provided in the exhibit to get the information). You will need to come up with adaptations on your own. (Think about what kinds of adaptations would help that animal live in that particular habitat.)
If you go with another person from my class, you need to choose different animals in each section. This prevents copying.
Attach proof of your visit.
