Congratulations!! The Zookeeper is very thankful for all of your assistance. He will now be able to decide which animals to include in his exhibit and the needs of these animals. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes anywhere but especially at a zoo. They are dealing with live animals. In choosing animals for the zoo, you have learned how each animal needs o be taken care of what kind of things they need to survive. If you were going to do this assignment again what would you do different? Would you use different animals?
