While touring the zoo, here are some questions to think about.
1.) Which of these animals is native to the United States of America and which ones are from countries outside the USA?
2.) Which animals can be found in most parts of the world?
3.) What can scientists learn by observing animals in captivity as opposed to observing them in their natural habitat?
4.) If you could have one of these animals as a "pet", which one would it be and why?
