This virtual field trip document provides information about habitats at the Toledo Zoo. It introduces habitats such as oceans, tundras, deserts, savannahs, rainforests, forests, freshwater areas, and mountains. For each habitat, it describes characteristics of the habitat and includes pictures of example animals found there, such as sea horses and jellyfish in the ocean habitat, polar bears and penguins in the tundra, and giraffes and zebras in the savannah. The goal is to educate students about where different animals live and what their habitats are like.
