Let's Go To the Zoo

Children enjoy the excitement and novelty found in the zoo. A trip to the zoo can contribute much to the learning process of a child. In this age of expensive travel, the virtual zoo may not be as much fun as the real thing, but can certainly provide education and entertainment. In my search for virtual zoos, I discovered the Switch Zoo aka Switcheroo Zoo. In this unique zoo you can make your own animal. It may resemble more than one kind of animal when you finish.
Cyber Zoo  displays animals as part of a biome. And exZooberance is a celebration of the animal kingdom. The National Zoological Park is a part of the Smithsonian.  The Giant Zoo is a virtual zoo with animal videos. And the African Rainforest Conservancy takes you to a virtual zoo devoted to animals unique to the African Rainforest.  You can expand the search easily. There are established, real zoos, that have animal information and photos at their website. Don't be afraid to explore. The animals won't bite (this time).
