Zoo Lesson Plan
FUN FACTS
The giraffe’s tongue is black to prevent sunburn while eating in the hot sun. Their spots, which are as unique as humans fingerprints, are designed for camouflage. And they need less sleep than any other mammal, using the time instead to browse for food.
When you go to the zoo, be on the lookout for the clever ways animals adapted to their surroundings and developed traits that help them survive.
