Hujambo wanafunzi! In the African dialect of Swahili I just said hello to all of you, our students, now turned zoo keepers. This particular adventure will have us examining the different animals within the different habitats of the African continent. You will need to examine 1 animal from 3 habitats: The Forest, the Desert, and the Water. The animals you will be able to choose from include snakes, gorillas, hippos, whales, meerkats, and crocodiles just to name a few. However, there is a catch, we will not just be examining them, but we will be bringing them back to our zoo! Bahati njema! Good luck!
