= Back to Journey to Portal  = =Task 3: Which animal enclosure is closest to a portal?=

There are portals near several of the animal enclosures in the zoo. We are aware of the following:
 * Giraffes - Kenya
 * Elephants - Thailand
 * Sun bear - Cambodia
 * Tiger - Sumatra/Indonesia
 * Lemur - Madagascar
 * Giant Tortoises or Radiated Tortoise - Galapagos Islands/Ecuador

Please select from one of these animals and while you are at the zoo spend some time investigating this animal. It is important that you know as much about this animal as possible, so that you are prepared in case the portal opens. This information must be presented on a poster (A2 size) and must include the following information: Name of animal, Latin name, country of origin, habitat, diet, risk of extinction and a picture of your animal. Make sure in your teams you have a team leader responsible for delegating tasks, a designer responsible for the overal layout of the poster including finding pictures and drawing the title and two researchers who (along with the leader) will look up relevant information. There is a marking rubric in 'what score will I earn ?' to help you.

Look in the Resources and Equipment to find some great websites to help you investigate specific animals. The following websites may laso be of some help:

It is important that you are vigilant at all times **
