SCAVENGER HUNT
ZOO - SCAVENGER HUNT -- QUESTIONS

Don’t just walk around the Zoo aimless and without direction – make it an education and adventurous event. The Zoo’s Education Department has created several different ways to make your next trip to the Zoo fun, exciting and educational.

Off to Australia
1. During the cool of the day, I can be found grazing in the grasslands. My babies are called ‘joeys’, and they spend the entire first 4 months of their lives in their mother’s pouch. Who am I?

2. The males of my species take care of the eggs of several different females. Even after the eggs hatch, one male can be seen caring for up to 25 chicks!! Who am I?

3. I am an unusual looking goose that has partly webbed feet. They are used for perching in trees and walking on the ground. Who am I?

On to Asia
1. I am a large, beautiful animal with a coat of orange& black and rarely white and black. I am endangered because people have destroyed my habitat and have hunted me for my coat. Who am I?

2. I weigh in at nearly 2 tons, and my skin looks and feels like tough armor which is why on hot days you will probably find me soaking in my water hole. Who am I?

3. Even though I am not a dog, I bark when I am alarmed. Who am I?

4. Although our display is in the African realm we are actually from Asia. May be our long arms will give us away, they can spread up to 5 feet from tip to tip. If not them maybe our loud howls will give you a hint, we mark our territory by yelling. We are related to Gibbons. Who are we?

Out of Africa
1. I am the largest mammal at the Montgomery Zoo. I use infrasound to communicate with others of our species. Who am I?

2. The pattern on each of my species in unique. This pattern is used for predator confusion. Who am I?

3. Even though I may seem short compared to my parents I was already six feet tall the day I was born? Who am I?

4. Hey down here!! I’m a type of Gazelle but you can call me Tommy. Who am I?

Onwards and upwards to North America
1. When I am born I only weigh 1/2 pound, but as an adult I can weigh up to 300 lbs! My fur can be white, cinnamon, brown, or black. Who am I?

2. Upon first glance some people would call me a goat but that’s not the case at all. As you can see from my parents, big horns must run in the family. Who am I?

3. I think snowy weather is just purr-fect and my feet are built for it. Wide, fur covered paws act like snow shoes. Who am I?

Sailing south...South America that is
1. Need another hand? How about a tail? My tail serves as a hand as I swing through the trees. Even though I only have two arms and two legs I am still named after an eight legged web– spinning creature. Who am I?

2. I am known as “little tiger”. People have long hunted me for my coat and now I am endangered. Who am I?

3. Smell what smell? Some say we smell like skunks but we think its just fine. We are long legged creatures that look like a really tall fox. We use the scent to mark our territory which can be up to 10 square miles. Who are we?
