Do you remember
singing, “The wheels on the bus go round and round??” We didn’t actually sing that on the bus, but
the wheels were going round and round, all the way to the Auckland Zoo. Upon arrival we were greeted by zoo
educators, who were assigned to educate us further about animal adaptation. We learnt that a mammal is a warm-blooded
animal that gives birth to live babies.
A reptile is a cold blooded animal that lays eggs. Amphibians can live on both land and on
water. We also learnt about their
natural habitats and how animals are able to camouflage themselves so they don’t
get attacked.
Walking
around the zoo was exciting! We visited
Prideland first, where we say a tall giraffe, an ostrich, a rhinoceros, zebras
and a springbok. Here are some
interesting facts about a giraffe: a
giraffe is a mammal with a long neck that helps it to get food from tall
trees. A giraffe gallops by springing
forwards on its two hind legs, this makes a giraffe faster than a lion.
Sitting at the back was fun.
Our educator explaining about orangutan
snake skin. It felt really rough
We thought they were not real as we waited and waited for them to move.
I can see one big hippo
It's not one but two.
These hens were very hungry as it grabbed my cheese.

When we arrived at the zoo a zookeeper helped us, I learnt that spider monkeys don't use there hands that much they use there tail to hang properly and to be safe.
ReplyDeleteAt the Zoo some of the staff taught us about different animal’s adaptation. I learnt that Orangutans are %94 human and that male Lemurs get their tale dirty to show off around other male Lemurs. The last fact I learnt was that Spider monkey are scared of water.
ReplyDeleteAt the zoo I learnt that Orangutans are 94% humans, I learnt about the ring tailed lemurs about how they have a pad under their hand are for climbing trees next I learnt about the spider monkeys they can balance their body’s to climb trees and they are scared of WATER!
ReplyDeleteFirst we learnt about Orangutans.Did you know that Orangutans are actually 97% human.We also learnt that our thumb is the most important finger.The zoo educator told 3 people to go up and do a challenge it was hard because they weren't allowed to use there thumbs.The three people were Sophie,Douglas,Dallas.Room 28 had a tour starting from the Orangutans to the Tigers
ReplyDeleteIn the zoo I learnt that orangutans a 75 % like us humans. Orangutan adapted to thez
ReplyDeleteWhen we got their everyone was excited to see all the beautiful animals. I learnt about how do orangutan adapt to there new environment instead there homes,there were born in the zoo,but then they grew trees so they can get uses to the trees and ropes so they can get a better educations.
ReplyDeleteOn Wednesday year 5 and 6 team went to the zoo. There was a lady that was leading us to the rain forest animals. the first animal we saw was a orangutan she also showed us there room and said that she hoped they cleaned their room. It was also very wet.The lady said that if we make too much noise they will hide and we were like ooh look and they didn't hide it was weird.Did you know they are 97% human.On our way to another rain forest animal which is the spider monkey, we saw a few marketeers and goldfish. When we saw the marketeers the boys found out that when you look at your wrist you’ll see something that the marketeers have but there ones are black.

ReplyDeleteWhen we went to the zoo on the 27th of August an educator took us on a tour through the rainforest section I learned that orangutans are 97% like us I also learned that most of the monkey species are afraid of water we also learned about reptiles, amphibians and why snakes are not allowed in New- Zealand.
ReplyDeleteAt the zoo there were other schools as well each class had leader that works at the zoo to show us around. One of the things that I learnt was that orangutans are 75% like us humans. And that they have big hands to help them climb and swing on trees. Two of the things that I learnt was that American alligators have the strongest bite force of any animal alive. And the other one was that devils are mostly black and white to help camouflage but when they are stressed or excited their ears flush with blood making them appear bright red.
ReplyDeleteI learnt that orangutans are 94% like us. I also learnt that spider monkeys don't only use their hand to do things they also use their tail.
