Zoo Observation Project. Primates at Sacramento Zoo

Zusatztext

Scientific Study from the year 2015 in the subject Biology - Zoology, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: Observing animals in a zoo set up can be quite instrumental, especially in situations where accessing their natural habitat may be limited. The main challenge, however, is the change in behaviors that animals tend to adopt over time, in a bid to fit into the new environments. Primates are one particular kingdom of animals that are so interesting to study, more so by simply watching what they do, regardless of the time (Caldecott and Miles 27). To help come up with a comprehensive outline of the various similarities and differences the animals have, I set out to observe the animals in Sacramento Zoo, on November 22, 2015. The findings about these animals, though a bit limited due to the environment, were much in line with the traits expected of them when in the jungle, their natural habitat. Nonetheless, observation of animals in a zoo comes out just as practical as doing so in the natural setting.
