On Monday 23rd of November room 7 and 1 went to the zoo by bus to learn about pest control but didn't learn that much about pest but learnt more about the animals that we need to protect.
we learnt about Ostriches and that they are extreme birds that run the fastest, lay the largest eggs and even have the largest eyes.
After seeing the Ostriches we went to the Meerkats and I learnt that pregnancy for them is quick and simple which will only go for about 11 weeks and they can have about 2-4 pups.
While going to the Spider Monkeys we stayed back to see the seals and I learnt that Seals have a layer of fat under skin called blubber, which keeps them warm in cold water.
We were near the end and we had made it to the Spider Monkeys and they were feeding them, the Spider Monkeys had a diet made up with corn and beetroots. They have no thumbs and uses there tail for climbing and pinking up things.
It was a good time at the zoo and learnt lots if you go i recommend you go to the Meerkats because they are so cute.
