Plashet Zoo began in 1964 with birds and waterfowl.

Later other animals including goats, ponies, wallabies, llamas and Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs were added as the zoo developed.

Modern city farms and zoos

 

Do you think city farms and zoos are a good idea?
Write a paragraph giving your reasons.

Have you visited a city farm or zoo?
How healthy and happy did the animals appear to be?

 
 

Write a letter from a city farm animal to his country cousin describing where he lives and how he spends his day.

 
 

 

Happy animals

Choose an animal you would find in a city farm and find out how you would have to take care of it.

  • What would it need to eat?
  • Where would it need to live - in water, a field, a building?
  • Would it need friends?

Design the ideal area for your animal to live in your local park.
