A zoologist studies animals. Your job is to research the animal life in your assigned ecosystem. Print three of these sheets. Choose at least three different animals found in your ecosystem and record the following information about each:

Name of the animal

Description of the animal (what does it look like)

Picture of the animal (you may draw it if you cannot find an image to save)

Physical or behavioral adaptations to its ecosystem (what does it need to do to survive).

The animal's niche in its ecosystem (what is its position in the food chain?)

The population of the animal (is it abundant or endangered?)

List at least three different things you learned about this animal which you haven’t already listed.
