Answer 1

There's tons to learn about zoology/biology at the zoo!

Animal Classification; Food Chains/Webs; Natural camoflage & mimicry; concepts of living/non-living and plant/animal; differences between carnivores, herbivores & omnivores; the divisions of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species; how zoos are working to promote awareness, appreciation and conservation of endangered animals; how adaptation aids survival; AND IT GOES ON!!!

Good luck!

Answer 2

The zoo is a biological dream come true...there are many genus and species names to impress your teacher (most of which are displayed on labels near the animals you're viewing. Also, it's an excellent opportunity to examine animal behavior and draw parallels between theirs and human behavioral characteristics. Watching primates yields a wealth of information that could take all day by itself. Mother chimpanzees and gorillas fuss over their offspring in much the same way human mothers do. (Has your mother ever embarrassed you before letting you walk into a store by giving you a spit bath when she sees something disgusting on your face that you were perfectly content to leave there?) Well, mama chimps do the same types of things, and the baby chimps make those same kinds of frowning faces in response to that as we did! Watching the big cats is a great study in hierarchal structure...(a little bit of psychology and sociology thrown in for good measure). With just a little bit of casual observation you can clearly tell who's in charge in a particular group, and all of the other cats (young and old alike) know this and respect this order of things. Interesting, huh? The point is, there's so much "science" happening right in front of your eyes everyday at the zoo...that's probably why you've never noticed it as such before, because it's so much fun! (So is science)

Answer 3

Say, "I went to the zoo, because I am fascinated by the study of zoology. I learned a lot about the classifications of animals, their natural habitats, and the various breeds. I learned how to tell the different kinds of reptiles apart, what different animals eat, and a lot of other information. It was a very good experience."

Answer 4

A zoology project: observing behavior responses to habitat and population. In urban living, few people and animals have natural, undisturbed surroundings. But, does the degree of natural habitat, and personal space effect behavior. You could have studied zoo animals in this regard to see if there are any parallels to human behavior.

Answer 5

Tell the teacher you went to the zoo/aquarium/whatever and learned about the threat to the Polar Bears or Emperor Penguins' environment. Say you learned it was caused by global warming.

In fact, include global warming in everything you do this year and you can just about guarantee yourself an A.

Answer 6

Exporing animals in man made habitats as opposed to their natural habitat... for example:

Eating habits : being on an eating schedule and fed by humans vs. hunting for their own food.

How animals react to space limitations vs. roaming in the wild.

Life expectancy? Is there a difference?

Answer 7

Tell her that you enjoyed seeing biotic and abiotic creatures and items at the zoo such as the zebras and bamboo.

Answer 8

remember a couple of animal names(like a tiger, giraffe, etc.), look up the species name of the animal. If your in high school you might have to do a little more than just that.

Answer 9

Pursued interest in Zoology by examination of specimens in captivity.
