Zoo to You

Last week Thursday, Mr. Tim from the Honolulu Zoo came to teach the third graders about Animal Adaptations.He showed us a video about different adaptations that animals in different habitats have to help them survive. He also brought replicas of animals skulls, animal fur, feathers, antlers and other cool stuff. We enjoyed his presentation and learned so much from him.

Here are reports from Joshua, Skylar, and Haylie:

Joshua: Today Zoo to You came to Kapunahala. It was fun because we got to see a lot of amazing things and animals! We saw bones of animals and videos about adaptations. One adaptation for the ostrich is it can run fast and peck. Another adaptation is that the cheetah can run fast and bite. There are a lot of places where the animals live like the rain forests, jungles, and open plains. It was fun because I learned stuff I did not know.

Skylar: What I learned from Zoo to You is that we have to pritect the wildlife and stop cutting down trees so animals that live in the trees can survive in the forest. Mr. Tim taught me all about anumals like ostrich, tigers, elephants, and also cheetahs and lions. I learned that chameleons use color mostly for showing their moods and zebras stay in a group to confuse their predators.

Haylie: Today was Zoo to You. We learned things about animals. I learned that the cheetah has a really small head. Also, did you know that the ostrich has feathers that are open and that's why it can't fly? We also got to see a Jackson Chameleon. It was green. Green means that he was happy. The male chameleon has horns and the female does not.
