The local government has been granted funding to establish a zoo within the area.

Government officials have set you the special task of organizing the zoo to ensure that animals with similar features and needs are homed in appropriate environments, and to provide information for visitors on their anatomical and species-related features. To complete this task, you should complete an informational report for the government. It needs to include the following features: Information on three animal categories. These can be any categories you like, and you can choose to create these categories if you choose. However, the animals in the category need to have observable features in common. Include at least three animals for each category, describing what they have in common. The report should be written using Google Drive. A Zoo Map. This map needs to be designed to suit the animal categories you have chosen above. You can hand draw this map or use Microsoft Paint/a drawing app. A sample informational sign. This should be designed for one of the animals you would house in the zoo. It needs to include the following information: o Annotated Photo / Drawing o Description of physical features o Description of its ideal environment o Animals that are closely related The sign should be designed using Glogster.

As the lead zoologist, you are also in charge of deciding where new additions to the zoo should be housed. Having set up and organized your zoo, please decide whether the following animals should be placed in the animal groups you have set up, or whether a new group is needed: Boa Constrictor Emperor Penguin African Elephant Otter Fox
