Endangered species

As a zoologist, you focus on the study of animals. Zoologists study the behaviour, origins, genetics, diseases and life progression of animals and wildlife. With that in mind, research and prepare a document that includes the following items, specific to your endangered species. The information you collect will be used in the team infographic you will present to Congress. 

 

• Common Name

• Genus species

 

 

1.  ANATOMY OF THE THREATENED OR ENDANGERD SPECIES

• Basic Anatomy (color, weight, pictures, etc)

• Life Span / Longevity

• Special adaptations - additional traits that make them different from their close relatives.

 

2.  REPRODUCTION  

• Special mating rituals? 

• How often do they reproduce, what season? 

• If there is a gestation (or incubation) period, how long? 

• How many offspring? 

• Describe the young - do they look like the adults? Size, color? 

• Parental care

 

3.  BEHAVIOR

• Does the species live in groups, herds, or alone?

• Unique or unusual behaviors

• In what ways does this animal interact with humans? Is it helpful/useful or harmful?
