 Picture taken from Biomes Basics.

You are the owner of the new Farmington Public Zoo and your grand opening is a month away.  You realized that you do not have animals from all five of the biomes.  You know that throughout the world there are many different animals.  Each biome has different kinds of animals.  Use these websites to find at least two animals from each biome to add to your zoo.  Create a sign that will be displayed at the animals exhibit.  The sign should explain what biome the animal is from, why it belongs to that biome, and list some characteristics of that biome.
