Animal Information

You can use the web to find information about animal habitats, conservation programs and much more. The internet is a great place to start – however you need to be specific regarding your search and you need reliable sources.

Start your search by using the animal’s scientific name.  If you don’t know the scientific name of the animal you are researching try using an online encyclopedia. You can also narrow your search using the common name of the animal. Instead of searching for “bears,” try “grizzly bear” or “black bear” this will eliminate information such as teddy bears or Chicago Bears. Good luck in your search.
