Step 1: Select an animal to study.

We got a list of endangered animals from our zoo. We decided to study mammals, then picked a specific animal.

You can find lists of endangered animals on the web at:

Factsheets and News Releases on Threatened and Endangered Species

Step 2: Decide what kinds of information you want to know about each animal.

We chose the following topics:

• Scientific Name
• Size
• Weight
• Description
• Habitat
• Food
• Other Facts

Step 3: Start your search.

We got a lot of help and information from our zoo, the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska. If you have a zoo near you, that is one great place to start your research.

We also found lots of information on the Web. Here are some of our favorite sites to get you started:

• Factsheets and News Releases on Threatened and Endangered Species
• The Electronic Zoo Animal Resources
• Animal Omnibus
• The Animal Diversity Web
• The National Zoo
• The Cyber Zoomobile

Step 4: Enter your information on our form and send it to us. Don't forget your bibliography!

Step 5: We will post your information on our web site.
