The Islands (Moutere Rahui) A feature of this area is the volcanic lava rock, which has been used to create a small lava rock forest - representative of what you would see on Rangitoto Island The Islands are home to some plant species only found naturally on offshore islands, including: • Poor Knight’s Island lily (Xeronema callistemon) or raupo taranga and offshore island nikau species. Some of these were transplanted and saved from subdivisions years ago. • Tussock grasses and low shrubs within the aviary that house Campbell Island teal and Antipodes Island parakeet replicate the look of these sub-Antarctic islands • Tecomanthe speciosa – a climbing plant that was down to a single remaining wild plant on the Three Kings Islands. It was saved from extinction by the eradication of feral goats in 1946. Many vines have been grown from this one specimen, which is now a popular climbing plant • Pennantia baylisiana – one of the rarest plants in the world. This small tree from Great King Island (part of Three Kings group) was discovered in the 1940s • Elingamita johnsonii – also from Three Kings Island, it was discovered in the 1950s. It is named after the ship Elingamite, which came to grief on the rocks below the cliffs where it was growing. In addition, this habitat features: • Raupo (Typha orientalis) – a vigorous deciduous plant growing in aquatic areas, it does an important job filtering out sediment and helping to purify water. Maori bundle the long spongy leaves to make insulated cabins and light buoyant rafts known as mokihi. The semi-circular, air-filled leaves also make perfect covering for traditional kites and poi • Kauri (Agathis australis) – the 12m specimen near the entrance was transplanted from the northern end of the Zoo.
New Pinniped Pavilion Zoo Moscow, RUS The existing Pinniped Pavillion in the Zoo of Moscow is in an extremely vulnerable state and urgently requires a general revision, which includes a new zoological and operation concept. ZOOQUARIUMDESIGN is responsible for the assessment of the existing Pavillion and the development of a new innovative pinniped facility. Considering the long tradition of the Moscow Zoo in the successful husbandry, management and breeding of varius piniped species, as well as the exposed location of the enclosure within the park and having evaluated the desolate structural condition of the existing Pavillion, we proposed the development of a new concept including an entirely new facility. The Concept of the new Pinniped-Pavillion optimizes animal wellfare and husbandry under consideration of best practice experiences and combines them with unique visitor experiences including educational and conservational task of a modern zoo. Furthermore operational processes are optimized. Through a natural design and theming and of its proximity to the bordering Elephant enclosure a new Restaurant named “The Giants Lodge” is suggested, which would increases the attractiveness of the location and provides additional revenue and event facilities.

Auckland Zoo is no longer about humans on the outside looking in at the animals. Now, it's all about being part of the landscape together.

Recently I was working with a first grade teacher who wanted to submit a Henrico 21 lesson to our county's technology competition we have every year. The competition grades lessons and projects based on four categories: Research and Information Fluency, Communication and Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, and Creativity and Innovation. Research and Information Fluency is always the hardest one for kindergarten and 1st grade to master. We always use sites like Pebblo Go that will read information out loud as well as getting an older class to come in and help the kiddos "research" a topic by using a kid-friendly search engine. However, we wanted to add an element to this category. You may have seen a recent post of mine last week entitled The Wonderful Wacky Zoo. If you haven't, go check it out real quickly and come back! Well, this is the lesson that we wanted to beef up our research process. Students were investigating the basic needs of mammals as well as exploring their different types of habitats. After research, students worked in small groups to create a hybrid mammal of their choice and had to come up with a creative name, state the type of habitat it would need to live in in order to survive as well has mention the type of food it would eat. To help with this research component, students not only used Pebble Go but they also used this AWESOME (it is FREE) app called, Pocket Zoo. I know I have blogged about this app before but I just had to do another post, especially since it is Tech with Jen's Be Appy Monday! Pocket Zoo is basically a portable zoo for kids (and those of us adults who absolutely love animals)! It contains a TON of animal photos, videos, sound bytes, fun facts and LIVE animal cams. Check it out: Here is the map that first pops up when you launch the app. You can see at the bottom how easy it would be for little kids to navigate around to the different sections. A TON of animals are included in this one FREE app...gotta love it! When you tap on an animal it will give you a colorful picture of that animal as well as fun facts. Unfortunately the app does not read the facts aloud. When you tap on "videos", many different videos of the animal pop up: The student favorite is obviously the live webcams and I have to say, in my experience, they work quite well: This app really helped out that first grade class with their research. Even if students couldn't read the fun facts, they were still able to use their inferring skills to learn more about an animal's habitat, body type and foods they eat by using the pictures, videos and webcams. If you teach younger kids about habitats and animals and do not have this app, definitely download it ASAP :) It would also be fun to use it as a writing station to help spark ideas: "If you were a giraffe, how would your life be different?" Check out some other cool apps you could use in your classroom and link up your ideas too! An InLinkz Link-up
"A free zoo animal themed word search printable with zoo animals to find such as elephant, tiger, lion, kangaroo, and gorilla. The words are hidden in the puzzle horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—but no words will be hidden backwards. This word search would be perfect for kids in the classroom or for kid sat home. While this word search puzzle is great for kids, but with 24 words to find, it is challenging enough for adults to enjoy as well."
