Kids Catalogue Web: Explore Some Birds & Animals!

Hi guys!

 

Do you often need info about New Zealand animals for your school homework sheets & projects? Then Kids Catalog Web can help! Navigate to the Explore section and choose NZ Aotearoa / NZ Animals. To see all the fantastic web pages on your chosen topic, click on the button of the animal you want. As this is a book catalog, it will usually come up with a list of books on that topic first. Just look for an icon with a spider sitting on a web (it’s on the left hand side of page and has the words see web pages) and click on that for the URLs.

 

Here’s some examples of the kinds of websites that you will find there…
Animal fact sheets:
New Zealand zoos have fact sheets on the animals that live there. Here’s the Hamilton Zoo site: Just click on Birds, Reptiles or Mammals and choose the fact sheet for the animal you want.

 

Animal Pests:
Te Ara, the Encyclopedia of New Zealand is getting more and more stuff added all the time. In “The Bush” section you can check out all our native animals & insects plus their predators. But this section in Conservation is all about the Introduced Animal Pests which threaten our native wildlife.

 
Penguins:
There’s loads of info about our unique and endangered animals too like the Little Blue Penguin. The Oamaru Penguin Colony website has some great facts plus their life cycle.

 
Sharks: If you don’t mind the sight of blood – check out this site from the Auckland Museum about dissecting a Great White Shark.
