Day Four: The Dallas Zoo


Today was wild!  The entire group headed to the Dallas Zoo to learn about botany, animal science and other zoo-related careers.  In addition to checking out the new Giants of the Savanna exhibit, students took part in a scavenger hunt and got to meet some of the animals.

"Today we went to the zoo. It was really fun! I learned a lot of new things like the different jobs at the zoo, what the people with a certain job have to do, and also how many years of college you have to go to get that job. I’m happy I came because all this information will definitely help me become a vet."     - Guadalupe Medina
