** A) Each group have to distribute between its components the following roles (one for each student). You have to take into account this role when you come up with the information. The solutions that you are going to give should be under the point of view of: **


 * ** MANAGER **: The role of manager is used as efficiently as possible all available resources to obtain the maximum possible benefit from them. In other words, maximize the productive use of the organization.
 * ** ZOOLOGIST **: he or she thinks about how to place the animals, which animals can live together, what each animal eats, how it reproduces, what is the best time to breed, what are the changes that occur in animals, what to do with females when they are pregnant.
 *  ** ARCHITECT **: The architect has to focus his work on what he is going to build, that is to say, he has to think about the space the animals need, the shape and size of where the animals have to live, and how they are going to distribute in the space.
 *  ** MARKETING ** : He has to make the most of the Zoo in order to promote Zoo’s image.

** B) You have to read the following information about the different animals we want to include in our Zoo: **

For this we have separated the animals into four groups:

**1. Group of the water animals:**


 * __**White Shark:**__

** __What does this animal eat?__ **

The white shark is a true marine predator because of its lightweight skeleton and streamlined design. This causes the white shark is a very fast predator. Their diet is varied but mainly relies on all kinds of fish, squid and living things. Because of their size and sharp jaw, the white shark is able to attack larger animals such as sharks or whales. Their preferred prey are: seals, sea lions and dolphins. Therefore the white shark has a very varied diet which needs large quantities of food a day.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Green Turtles can be found throughout the tropical and subtropical Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans in the coastal waters of at least 140 countries. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Australia’s Raine Island has one of the largest green turtle populations in the world with around 18,000 females.Female greens can lay between one and seven clutches in a season, although most commonly three with an interval between each of 12 – 14 days. On average a clutch contains 110 eggs and the female rarely returns the following year but may wait as long as four to seven years before nesting again. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">In Australia young Greens stay at sea until they are around 35cm long when they move into shallower seagrass areas. Some juveniles in the southern Great Barrier Reef have been recorded in the same feeding grounds for more than 20 years.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Stingrays may not look like fish, but they are. They are related to sharks, and they do not have bones. Instead, their bodies are supported by cartilage—the same material that you feel inside the tip of your nose. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">To swim, some stingrays move their whole bodies in a wavy motion that propels them through the water. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Stingrays have tails that are armed for defense. Some kinds of stingrays have a spine in their tail with a very sharp point and edges that are serrated or notched. Many species, including the exotic-looking blue-spotted stingray (see photo), have venom that is delivered through their tails. That venom, and the spine itself, can be dangerous to humans.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Stingrays prefer shallow, near-shore waters in warm parts of the world. Here, they spend most of their time lying partially buried on the ocean floor hiding from predators, like sharks, or waiting for prey to swim by. Their colors usually match the mud or sand they hide in. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">While a stingray's mouth is on the underside of its body and its eyes are on the top.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> **__Habitat__:**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Lynx usually live in mature forests with dense undergrowth but can also be found in more open forests, rocky areas or tundra.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">**__What do they eat?__**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Canadian lynx only eat meat. Snowshoe hares are a very important food for these cats, and when there are fewer hares to eat, the number of lynx decreases. In some areas, such as Cape Breton Island, lynx eat only hares, but in other areas they also feast on rodents, birds and fish. If they can find a deer that is very weak or sick, lynx will kill and eat it. They also feed off carcasses left by human hunters.


 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff00cc; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">**__Donkey__**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">**__Habitat:__**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Donkeys have an array of different habitats and geographic locations due to their domestication. The ancient asses, however, were discovered in southern and central Asia and northern Africa. In these areas they are well adapted to live in rocky highlands and low land deserts and prefer to live in warmer, dry climates. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">**__What do they eat?__**

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They are herbivores because they only eat autotrophs including wheat bran, crushed barley <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, linseed, sheaf oats, clover, alfalfa <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> hay, and small quantities of corn <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. Interestingly, donkeys will never drink stale waterand must be within a two to three day reach of a water source. The overall diet of donkeys consists of low protein foods because food high in protein can cause them to develop skin rashes.


 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff00cc; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">**__Giant Panda__**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">**__Habitat:__**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">There is only one sub-species of panda, and it is found only in China. The black and white bear is considered endangered. There are only about 1000 giant pandas left in the wild. Its habitat is continually shrinking because of the growing Chinese population spreading into the forested areas and cutting down trees (especially bamboo trees) for more farmland. With it’s habitat getting smaller and farms cropping up all over it has a very difficult time migrating, or traveling, to another area of bamboo forest. The giant panda is also hunted for it’s beautiful fur.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">**__What do they eat?__**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Pandas main food source is bamboo. This stumps scientists since bamboo is not high in nutrients and is not easily digested by the bear. That means that the panda has to eat an awful lot of it to get the nutrition it needs to live. Pandas will eat 50 – 60 pounds of bamboo a day, so obviously they spend most of their day eating! They will eat meat, berries, flowers, grass and nuts if necessary. The pandas front paws have adapted to its love of bamboo, too. Along with its five 'fingers', the panda has grown a ‘thumb’. Part of the wrist bone has developed into a thumb that faces opposite to the rest of the fingers. This allows the panda to hold onto bamboo more tightly.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Koalas can only be found in the eucalyptus forests of eastern and south-eastern Australia. Their habitat quality can be measured by density of the food trees. Koalas do not live in the rainforest.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">** __What do th____ey eat?__ **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The koala only eats Eucalyptus leaves and it eats so many leaves, it smells like the leaves. The koala hops from tree to tree and climbs the trees to get the leaves. The koala will eat 2.5 pounds of food a day. It uses its claws to get the branches and get the leaves. The koala used to be endangered because people would kill the koala for its fur.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">**__Habitat:__**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Mediterranean monk seals mostly seek refuge in inaccessible caves, often along remote, cliff-bound coasts. Such caves may have underwater entrances, not visible from the water line.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Known to inhabit open sandy beaches and shoreline rocks in ancient times, the occupation of such marginal habitat is believed to be a relatively recent adaptation in response to human pressures – hunting, pest eradication by fishermen, coastal urbanisation, and tourism

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">** __What do they eat?__ **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This particular type of seal hunted for food during the day and then sleeps and rests at night. They consume fish, mollusks, octopus, and squid. They are able to dive deep into the water too when they need to find more food to sustain them. However, most of the time they only go about 300 feet into the water.

It also decides where its nest will be based on the abundance of fish there. It usually roosts and nests in deciduous forests. The nests are usually 2 feet deep and 5 feet wide. The habitat of an eagle is very important to it because it determines the objects used to build its nest based on the surrounding locations.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Eagles are opportunistic predators which means they eat almost anything they can find. Some species even like eating fruit. Most eagles prey on small animals including rabbits, lizards, frogs, snakes, squirrels, other birds and even small dogs. Other species of eagle, like the bald eagle, prefer eating fish and turtles. As you can see, eagles will eat almost anything that they can catch!

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">The flamingo's most characteristic habitats are large alkaline or saline lakes or estuarine lagoons that usually lack vegetation. Lakes may be far inland or near the sea. A variety of habitats are used by flamingos: mangrove swamps, tidal flats, and sandy islands in the intertidal zone. The presence or absence of fish may have a great influence on the use of lakes by some flamingos.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">The Chilean flamingo is scarce or absent in lakes with fish. It is present, usually in large numbers, where there are no fish with which to compete for food. - The introduction of fish to some lakes may seriously affect the distribution of the Chilean flamingo as well as the greater and Caribbean flamingos, since they all feed primarily on invertebrates. Other flamingo species are not affected because of different food sources.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">In their natural habitat, parrots feed on a variety of plant foods, buds, leaves, seeds, grains, nuts and fruit - and even insects. Their strong bill and muscular tongue allows them to feed on fruits and break seeds that would otherwise be difficult for other animals to crack. Parrot bills have evolved the ability to crush the largest seeds. Many plants have built up chemical and mechanical defenses to ward off herbivores. However, parrots have become practically immune to the plant's defenses. They digest clay from riverbanks to detoxify the toxic chemicals in the seed/fruit. Alternatively, they eat small amounts of toxic seeds and combine them with a larger amount of harmless seeds, therefore substantially decreasing the potential harm. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Parrots are seed-eating birds, and essentially herbivorous, with many species also frugivorous (fruit-eating). Most eat fruits, and the nectar and pollen of flowering trees. They have strong curved beaks ideal for cracking hard shells of seeds and nuts, including gumnuts in Australia. Some varieties are also insectivorous, feeding on small insects to help supplement their protein intake.
