REVIEW:
Students will delight in this interactive way to explore animals
in their habitats and teachers will find the information found here
to be a great supplement to the science curriculum. The interactive features area includes games and quizzes,
but the real attraction is the animal exhibits. Visitors can learn
all about a Chilean Rose Tarantula by mousing over the body parts
for a full description. Also included in this area are an interactive animated map of the
decline of the Sumatran tiger, a video of a Komodo dragon baby hatching
and videos of the jaguar’s world. Students will not want to
miss the Bear Cam, where they can view the bears in real
time.
