Los Angeles Zoo Field Trip
Directions: As we visit 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). Then
describe the kinds of adaptations would help that animal in its particular habitat.
Upon exiting the zoo, stamp this paper with the hand-stamper or attach your ticket
as proof of your original work. Have fun!
