Dear Reader,
And here comes June! Do you get a summer vacation? Does it begin in June? Although my work doesn’t include an official summer vacation, I am starting out the month visiting my daughter in Miami, FL, where we will celebrate my 64th birthday. Wow. Now that’s something to look forward to! I hope you also have something fun happening this summer.
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman

June is National Zoo and Aquarium month, and today we are going on a virtual zoo hop. I hope you enjoy the lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!
Houston Zoo
Best clicks for virtual visitors are found under Meet the Animals and Exhibits. Click around and you’ll find articles about Animal Art, Animal Care, and a whole section on animal conservation. “In recent years, conservation biologists have drawn our attention to a worldwide decline in wild populations of frogs, toads, and salamanders – a phenomenon that has come to be called the Global Amphibian Crisis.”
Lincoln Park Zoo: Animals
In addition to browsing the annotated animal photo gallery (which is appropriate for all ages), older students can explore the Conservation & Science section about international effects by Lincoln’s scientists to “identify threats to zoo and wild populations and develop strategies to ensure their continued existence.” For example, the Goualougo Triangle Ape Project is studying gorillas and chimpanzees in a remote part of the Republic of Congo.
Los Angeles Zoo: Animals & Plants
Amphibians, birds, invertebrates, mammals, and reptiles are all on display at the LA Zoo, along with a botanical garden. Other sections on my do-not-miss list are Rainforest of the Americas and Elephants of Asia. “Elephants of Asia is designed to increase appreciation, amazement, and wonder for these great animals and to familiarize guests with the challenges Asian elephants face in the wild, including their shrinking natural habitat.”
