Animal Adaptations On your zoo visit, each person select 1 animal. Discuss together what parts your animal has that help it survive. Then compare how your animal parts are the same or different. Want an extra challenge? Bring along paper and drawing tools. Create a new animal that combines parts from each of the animals your family chose!

Animal Demo Time your visit with an animal demonstration. This is a great way to learn more about an animal of interest and ask questions!
