Pt England Zoo
Crikey, the Irwin family have chosen you to create a new zoo that will be built at the Pt England Reserve. This week you will be learning all about different zoo animals that you could put in your very own zoo.
The Irwin family have been running a successful zoo for many years so they have given you a virtual video to watch their zoo and all of the animals that they have. Every day you will be tasked with researching a new zoo animal and deciding if you want this animal to be included in your zoo. You will need to learn about where they come from, their habitat and how to keep them happy and healthy. Good luck!
