A Zoo Day Today I am an observer at the zoo. An observer is someone who learns new things by watching what happens around them. A zoo is a place where people can go to observe or watch wild animals and their behaviors. I am an observer today because many people work together to make sure the animals are happy and healthy. Veterinarians are animal doctors. They help to keep the animals at the zoo healthy. Biologists are scientists that study the animals behavior. They know what animals like and dislike. Zookeepers make sure the animals have a clean place to live and plenty of food. Today I learned that I am an omnivore. Omnivores are animals that eat both meat and plants. Fruits and vegetables are plants. The zookeeper said that each animal has its own diet. A diet is the food each animals eats. If an animal eats food that is not in its diet the animal could get sick. I saw two black bears at the zoo. Bears are omnivores just like you and I. They like to eat cabbage and fish. They also like to eat berries and honey. These two zebras are eating grass. They also like to eat bark and twigs. Zebras are herbivores because they only eat plants. This is a black panther. Panthers hunt for their food. Animals that hunt for their food are carnivores. Carnivores are animals that eat only meat. White tigers are also carnivores. This tigers name is Jill. Jill is sleeping because she is nocturnal. Nocturnal means the animal sleeps during the day and hunts for food at night. Zookeeper John takes good care of the animals at the zoo. He even showed Tasha the elephant how to do fun tricks.

This monkey is a mammal. Mammals are warm blooded animals with hair. A mammal such as a monkey has a habitat with a lot of trees. Monkeys like to live and play in trees. Ele
