The Bird Zoo ( Virtual)

This is a good site for Bird lovers. There are very good pictures and full info about the species.

( from the site)

Students, Teachers, Nature Lovers, Biologists, Conservationist. There is no substitute for the experience of seeing marvels of nature up close and in their natural settings. So when you can’t get out and about to visit those places, or to frequent the parks, zoos, and aviaries, check out “the Bird Zoo” This site provides information on where birds live, on the world’s ecological biomes. It will touch upon conservation issues within habitats. The arrangement of pages is biogeographical, species are grouped by the habitat or the biome they live in.

HERE  you learn about warm and cold blooded animals

 

Infrared light shows us the heat radiated by the world around us. By viewing animals with a thermal infrared camera, we can actually “see” the differences between warm and cold-blooded animals. Infrared also allows us to study how well feathers, fur and blubber insulate animals

Zoobooks

           

Claims to be the first virtual zoo. Specially meant for kids.  There are pictures of animals, and when you “pet” them you learn more about them.

Lincoln Park Zoo

If you have homework to do, a column to write, or any other important business to get to, do not even think about looking at the live Tiger Cam. Once you see the tigers, start playing with the zoom, and realize you can move the camera around by clicking anywhere on the image, you’ll be hooked. After you pry yourself away from the tigers, you can visit the rest of the animals by taking the virtual tour, or by clicking on the Mammals, Birds or Reptiles/Amphibians headings.
