A Visitor From Dublin Zoo!!



  

Jim from Dublin Zoo came to visit our school and talk to all the boys and girls. He brought lots of cool things to show us!!


This is an elephants tooth. Did you know elephants only have 2 teeth??


This is an ostrich egg. The ostrich is the biggest bird in the world. Did you know ostriches can't fly?? But they can run really fast!



This is a leopard skin. Jim told us that leopards are really clever. Did you know they can climb trees??




Jim also showed us an elephants foot and tusks. Did you know that elephants walk very quietly even though they are so big and heavy??


This is a turtle. They live in the sea. They come out of the sea up on to the beach to lay their eggs. They bury the eggs in the sand and then go back in to the ocean. Did you know that turtles never meet their mammy or daddy?? We think baby turtles must be very brave!



This is a tiger skin and a mountain lion skin. They were much softer than we expected. Did you know the smallest tiger in the world is the Sumatran Tiger??
