Girl Scouts Daisy: 3 Cheers for Animals Part 1





For Morgan's Journey, we got to go to the zoo!  She chose the animal journey.  The flower friends in the Daisy Flower Garden in the journey book show how they help animals and care for them.  In this journey, the girls learn how to care for animals and themselves.
While at the zoo, here are some of the things we learned about the animals while we were there:

1. what the animal eats
2. where the animal lives
3. what else the animal needs to stay alive
4. what the biggest threat to the animal is

Check out these cute Bonobos.  The baby is playful, and the adults play along with him.  They were a lot of fun to watch.  Bonobos live in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in a tropical rain forest.  They eat mostly fruits and leaves.   

This family group of Bonobos lives in the Fort Worth Zoo.  We were there on home school day.  If you have never been to the Fort Worth Zoo, I have to tell you it is BIG and there is a lot to see.  We were exhausted after being there for 4 hours, and we didn't even see everything!
