Smithsonian National Zoo Case Study
On Wednesday September 16th of 2015, I will be going to the Smithsonian National Zoo with a group of my friends. The Zoo was founded in 1889. It is one of the oldest zoos in the world. There are 1800 animals that live in the zoo. One of the most famous spots in the zoo for tourists to see is the Giant Panda exhibit. The giant pandas recently just gave birth to baby pandas. I have only been to the Smithsonian National Zoo once. I went in eighth grade for a school wide field trip. I love seeing animals and going to the zoo. Back where I am from (Delaware) there are not any zoos or big public attractions for young kids and teenagers.
My friends and I plan on going to the zoo around noon. In order to get to the zoo we have to take the campus shuttle to the Ballston Metro Station. When we get to the metro we will have to purchase our ticket and find what line we need to get on. Since my friend Brandy and I had the DC Metro app on our iPhone it was easy to navigate. We figured we would have to take the Silver line towards Largo Town Center and then once the shuttle stops at the Metro station we will have to hop off the …show more content…
We all agreed on going to the panda exhibit. We also wanted to see the giant elephant and the monkeys. Once we are ready to leave the zoo we will find a place to stop and get dinner. There is a Chipotle and Starbucks near by so maybe my friends and I will treat ourselves there. After we finish eating we will have to get ready to go back to campus. While we are walking back to the Metro, We will have to find where the red line departs and get on that train, then we will have to get off at the metro center and get back on the silver line towards Ballston. Once we get back to the Ballston MU stop we will have to pay our exit fee and find the nearest MU shuttle to get back to campus. That concludes our trip. I hope our trip is enjoyable and we take many cute pictures of the

    La Zoo Observation

    . LA zoo is fantastic and there are plenty of animals to observe. The employees were friendly and provided educational facts to the public. This is the second time that I visit LA Zoo because I want to observe the activities and behavior of some selected primates. I spent most of the time observing all the animals and learning about them and their native habitats. LA Zoo is laid out by continental area, so the primate exhibits are scattered throughout the zoo. I began with the New World monkey located in the South American section of the zoo. In exhibit area 75, I saw three species of New World monkeys. All of these species have prehensile tails. These species are the black-handed spider monkey, black howler monkey, and crested capuchin monkey.…

    Personal Narrative: The Fort Worth Zoo

    What does our future hold for us? Will it fulfill our wishes and dreams? Will we have a happy family? Well in order to worry about our future, we have to learn from our past and how we have changed. About 65 million years ago, a meteor hit Earth and primates started to show up and eventually lead to our creation. There are many different kinds of primates that we have studied and learned from. We can go to different places to view and understand their life style. The Fort Worth zoo is one of those places where I went to observe and learn. I got to observe two white-cheeked gibbons and three ring-tailed Lemurs. Apart from their difference they also have some similarities.…

    What's Wrong With Zoos

    Others think that the zoo is a great place to view mother nature's creatures for a reasonable price. In the excerpt, “Zoos Connect Us to the Natural World”, it states, “Only a small percentage of our nation's citizens can afford to travel to exotic locations to view wild tigers, elephants, or giant pandas”. But, that right there states wild tigers, elephants and pandas, and they are called wild animals for a reason they are supposed to be free and well wild. So instead of keeping these animals caged up we should let them be what they are meant to be and that is wild animals.…

    Case Study: Massachusetts Audubon Society

    National environmental organizations included Friends of the Earth, National Audubon Society, Sierra Club, The Nature Conservancy, and Wilderness Society had chapters or offices in Massachusetts. The Appalachian Mountain Club was regional, with chapters throughout the Northeast U.S. By contrast, Mass Audubon, Trustees of Reservations and MASSPIRG confined their activities to Massachusetts. Although organizations sometimes worked in coalitions to advocate specific political agenda, they also competed for funding and, to some extent, for members. On occasion, some of them had even competed for the same piece of environmentally sensitive property. The Nature Conversancy protected 17,000 acres in the state, Mass Audubon held 29,000 acres, and The Trustees of Reservations had more than 45,000 acres. Many other nonprofit organizations operated individual sanctuaries and nature centers or preserved land from development through land trusts.…
