Animal
Quest
Animals have played an
important part in the history of the world. Animals were on this earth before
humans, and some species that are still around today were here on earth before
we were. Animals are kept as pets, in zoos and live in the wild they way that
they were supposed to. Unfortunately, due to hunters and other reasons some
animals have disappeared off the face of the earth and become extinct. You will
have to research an animal of your choice and then give a presentation on this
animal.
The Australian Animal
Science Corporation have extended an invitation to you to give a presentation
on an animal of your choice at the soon to be held International Animal
