Zoo Animals Word Search
This zoo animals word search fills forty words from a day at the zoo: the penguin, flamingo, red panda, okapi, Komodo dragon, sea lion and capybara, along with the zookeeper, the aviary and the petting zoo.
The oldest zoo still open is Tiergarten Schonbrunn in Vienna, built in 1752 as an imperial menagerie, and the Philadelphia Zoo, opened in 1874, calls itself America's first zoo. Most animals were kept behind bars until Carl Hagenbeck opened a park near Hamburg in 1907 that used hidden moats instead, so his lions seemed to stand in open country a short leap from the visitors.
Some zoo favorites are newer to science than you might think. The okapi, a forest relative of the giraffe with zebra stripes on its legs, was unknown to European scientists until 1901. The red panda is not a small giant panda; it sits in a family of its own. In 2006 a Komodo dragon at Chester Zoo in England laid eggs that later hatched although she had never met a male, and the capybara by the pond is the largest rodent alive.
