Zoo trip

LI: To learn about animals

This week on Thursday Learning Space 1 ( LS1 ) went to the Auckland Zoo to learn about animals. The year 5’s ( And some year 6’s ) went with one of the guides called Patrick who showed us most of the African animals. First we saw the Giraffes, they have tall necks, brown patched fur, a long blue tongue that prevents their tongue from being sunburnt and giraffes are herbivores ( Plant eating animals ). Next we saw the Zebras which have black and white stripes all across their body, Fast running legs and they are herbivores. Also if in case they come across a predator ( things that will eat them ) they will group up and run away to inform other prey that danger is coming. Next we saw the Ostriches, They are the largest living bird in the world, but they do not fly. A male adult Ostrich can reach heights up to 2.1 - 2.8 and a female adult can reach up to 1.7 to 2m, they can reach up to speeds of 70km/h.

Next we saw the Meerkats. They are small animals that have white fur and sharp claws to dig for food. They usually eat worms, bugs, scorpions and snakes. After that we saw the Great White Rhino. Actually it’s name is mistranslated between languages and would’ve been called the Great Wide Rhino because of is wide mouth. These animals are also herbivores and mostly eat grass and their vision isn’t that good. They are very fast runners for their size. The next animal we saw was a Lion, they are fierce predators and live in prides which have one male leader. All lions eat other animals like Zebras, bulls, young elephants, giraffes and rhinos. Then we went to see the flamingos, Flamingos have long thin legs and it looks like there knees are backwards but those are actually there ankles. Flamingos have there own dance to attract other flamingos. The last animal we saw was the Asian Elephant. There were two elephants name Burma and Anjilee. Elephants are herbivores and usually eat leaves.
