Montgomery Zoo

Why do birds have different beak sizes and shapes? Why do come in different colors? Join us today at the Montgomer Zoo to learn about the many types of birds and their differences, as well as Main Wolves and Anteaters.

“Objective SCI.7.10.1: Define predator, plumage, germination, specialized, probability, innate, and learned behaviors. 10.: Use evidence and scientific reasoning to explain how characteristic animal behaviors (e.g., building nests to protect young from cold, herding to protect young from predators, attracting mates for breeding by producing special sounds and displaying colorful plumage, transferring pollen or seeds to create conditions for seed germination and growth) and specialized plant structures (e.g., flower brightness, nectar, and odor attracting birds that transfer pollen; hard outer shells on seeds providing protection prior to germination) affect the probability of successful reproduction of both animals and plants.”
