DURING THE CLASSES

I. Organizational moment

II. Repetition of the material covered

Two students in hats depicting an Ant and a Turtle come to the board.

Ant. Getting to know different animals, I made many friends. Some of them, together with the guys, we settled on the Green Island. It would be great if you could collect all the animals of the Earth and settle them together! But this is impossible: fish need water, animals need forest, someone lives in hot countries, and someone lives in the north.

Turtle. Don't worry, Ant! Today, together we will go to one of the most fascinating places on Earth, get acquainted with many interesting animals. But we need to pave the way there.

Graphic dictation

Teacher. Guys, now I will read the statements. If you agree, then put a sign, if you do not agree, then sign x If you do not know the correct answer, then put a dash. The condition is that the end of the previous character is the beginning of the next one.

On the desk:

- Yes, X- No, ? - I do not know

The work is done on sheets of paper. One student works on an individual board, which is then hung out for verification.

All birds have feathers.
All birds can fly.
- If the animal is large, it is a beast.
- A bat is a bird.
- A whale is a big fish.
The cat and the mouse belong to the same group of animals - animals.
- Butterfly, woodpecker, bat belong to the same group of animals, as they can fly.
- The body of animals is covered with wool.
Ostriches and penguins are birds that cannot fly.

Children have a picture on the leaves. It is not necessary to analyze the results of the graphic dictation in detail, since children who make mistakes will have time to work them out in the next lessons.

Check your drawings against the result on the board. Who did a great job laying the road? Well done!
Who tripped? It doesn't matter: we get up, take a friend by the hand and hit the road.

III. Lesson topic message

U. Guys, where are we? Where has the Wise Turtle taken us?

The board is closed. Children find it difficult to choose an answer. A leading question should be asked.

Name a place where we can meet many different animals that live in different parts of the world.

Children. Zoo.

U. What is a zoo? That is what will be discussed in the lesson.

IV. Introduction to new material

The teacher opens the blackboard on which the word is written zoo and attached illustrated material on the topic. There are two trained students with short reports about the zoo.

Student 1. A zoological park, or zoo, is a place where wild animals are kept. Here you can see animals that are found not only in our area, but also in distant countries.

Student 2. Scientists study animals in the zoo. There are also those animals that find it difficult to survive in captivity, since there are very few of them left. And scientists help these animals.

U. Keeping wild animals in captivity and showing them to the public is a very old tradition, even ancient. Menageries already existed in Rome and Egypt. There were menageries in Russia as well - even under Ivan the Terrible.
Have any of you been to the zoo? In which? How should you behave at the zoo? Why?

D. Calmly. You can not tease animals, stick your hands out.

You can not climb over the fence, feed the animals.

U. The wise turtle invites us to visit the Moscow Zoo. Why him? You will answer this question by listening to another message.

Student 3. The Moscow zoo was the very first in Russia. Its opening took place on February 12, 1864. Scientists at the zoo studied the living conditions of animals from different countries and their adaptation to local living conditions.

People who came to the zoo got acquainted with different kinds of animals. Of particular interest were animals that live in other countries. Currently, the Moscow Zoo has 5355 animals of 938 species. He is among the zoos in Russia is the main one.

The teacher demonstrates a video clip of the film "Moscow Zoo".

U. What new things did you discover by watching this fragment? What was especially memorable?

The children answer.

U. Remember: who lives in a terrarium?

D. Lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles.

U. Can we assign these animals to the studied groups?

D. No.

U. Why?

D. These are not fish - they do not have scales; they are not birds - they have no feathers; these are not animals - their body is not covered with wool; they are not insects - they do not have six legs.

U. Right. Lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles form another group of animals, and it is called "reptiles". Listen to the message about them.

Student 4. Reptiles live both on land and in water. They are called so because they crawl on the ground - they crawl. They feed on fish, grass, algae, midges, beetles, and insects. All reptiles are thermophilic. In the cold season, they are inactive. Poisonous snakes are dangerous for people, but if they are not disturbed, they will not attack a person.

U. Open textbooks on p. 28. What do you think is shown in the photo?

D. Central entrance to the Moscow Zoo.

U. Why did you decide so?

D. It was shown on video.

"Know the Animal"

BIRDS The collection of birds of the Kaliningrad Zoo includes 100 species. In summer, most of them are kept in open enclosures, on ponds. For the winter, heat-loving birds are transferred to heated rooms, where all the necessary conditions for their life are created.

Amphibians The Kaliningrad Zoo has special rooms for keeping amphibians. TERRARIUMS are made of glass on a metal frame. They create a certain microclimate and imitate the natural environment. Reptiles are also placed in the terrarium.

Fishes In the center of the zoo there is a blue and white octagonal structure crowned with a small turret. This is an aquarium. Inside it is peace and quiet, as in a real underwater kingdom. Its inhabitants swim behind the glass among the vegetation, sparkling with all the colors of the rainbow, demonstrating amazing, bizarre body shapes.

100 species of decorative exotic fish, inhabitants of freshwater, tropical reservoirs of various countries - India, China, America and Africa - are collected here.

What is a zoo? This is a place where wild animals are kept in conditions as close as possible to their natural habitat. The main feature of the zoo is the opportunity to observe animals, including exotic ones. Most often, zoos are located on the territory of the city, in a specially equipped place and with created conditions for a comfortable life for all kinds of animals.

What is it

What is - the park is an institution in which animals are kept in captivity for display, study, conservation and reproduction. Zoos are created for scientific and educational purposes. They help spread knowledge about the diversity of the animal world, promoting the protection and preservation of the gene pool of rare, endangered individuals.

Peculiarities

The limited area in which animals are kept is the main distinguishing feature of the zoo (photos of zoological parks and animals are in the article). The zoo is similar to recreation areas, because it has clear boundaries. Specially created premises with close natural conditions for life become a habitat for many species of animals. As a rule, the territory of the zoo is huge, unlike the zoo. Many institutions were organized on the basis of private collections, circuses and exhibitions. In Russia, those founded in the 19th century include Kazansky, Penza, St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Advantages and disadvantages

What is a zoo? Does it have advantages and disadvantages? There are many people in the world who oppose the keeping of wild animals in captivity. There is no need to dispute this opinion, because, in fact, zoos are created to entertain people, and are also educational in nature. The advantages of zoological parks include:

  • Preservation. If the zoo contains rare species, this helps to preserve the population.
  • Availability. Such parks allow anyone to see up close exotic animals collected in one area.
  • Study of. Zoos allow scientists to observe animals, study species.
  • Comfort zone. Animals raised in captivity will not be able to survive in the wild. This also applies to predators.
  • visiting mode. Convenient working hours of the zoo and its location allow visitors to look at the animals at any convenient time.
  • Lack of freedom. Unlike zoological parks, animals in nature reserves live and breed in natural conditions.
  • Stress. In parks, wild inhabitants are under constant stress due to city noise and human surroundings.
  • Restrictions. Compared to the natural habitat and freedom in the zoo, animals live in cages and aviaries.
  • Absence of offspring. Many species lose their ability to reproduce in captivity.
  • Life span. For example, lions, being in artificially created conditions, live less than in natural ones.

Goals

What is a zoo, what goals and objectives does it pursue? The main and most important aspect of the activities of this institution is the maintenance of various species of animals for demonstration to humans, as well as enlightenment, development and creation of an idea about the world and wildlife. In addition, zoological parks aim to instill in man a sense of responsibility for those whom they have tamed. Zoos pursue the task of preserving and increasing the population of endangered species, helping to restore the animal world.

Most parks participate in various programs for the conservation and restoration of rare species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.

Contact

Relatively recently (seventies of the last century) a new type of zoological parks appeared - contact. Zoo in Moscow "Forest Embassy" is the first contact institution in the capital. It is positioned as an educational, interactive platform where different types of animals live (sheep, rabbits, cats, dogs, lizards, raccoons, chinchillas and others). Visitors are allowed to pet them, pick them up, feed them, take pictures, study their habits, and observe them.

As a rule, petting zoos contain harmless individuals that cannot attack a child or an adult or cause harm to health. The main feature of such a park is pet therapy. It is recommended for children with special needs. It is allowed to feed animals here, but with special food bought on the spot. In Russia today there are more than twenty institutions. The working hours of the zoo "Forest Embassy" are comfortable for visitors. Doors are open for children and adults seven days a week, from 10 am to 9 pm.

The petting zoo teaches benevolence, respect and love for our smaller brothers, brings up the best qualities in kids, and awakens a sense of responsibility in adults. The average price for an hour of communication with an animal is 400 rubles. Some institutions allow pets to be taken home for a period of time, fed and cared for.

Moscow Zoo

One of the oldest zoological parks in Europe. It was founded in the middle of the 19th century. More than three million people visit it every year. Here you can see 1132 species of animals. The symbol of the park for a long time was the taiga cat - manul. The symbol was later changed. Now it is a stylized image of pigeons, squirrels, pelicans and dolphins. The schedule of the zoo is chosen in such a way that visitors can walk around the entire park. You can watch animals here seven days a week, from 10 am to 8 pm.

The Moscow Zoo is considered one of the main attractions of the capital. Here you can feed the fish, look at the flamingo, cheetah, lynx, bear, wild boar, snow leopard, griffon vulture, steppe eagle, Bengal tiger, elephant, raccoon, monkeys, polar bear, giraffe, camel, lion, polar bear and other animals . Reptiles and marine life live in the park. The zoo is equipped for active family recreation. Children's attractions are located on a large territory. In addition, a contact zone has been created in the Moscow Zoological Park, where children can stroke and feed small animals: rabbits, monkeys, raccoons, goats, sheep, and deer. It is planned to expand it in the future.

The zoo is fun

Zoos are places where wild animals are kept, often brought from afar, from those corners of the planet where they live in natural conditions. In zoos, animals are cared for, studied and bred here, thereby often saving entire species of animals from extinction.

Today, there are more than 300 zoos in the world, and the very first zoo was created in ancient Egypt. It is known that the first zoo was built around 1500 BC, during the reign of the Egyptian queen Hatshepsut (1540-1481 BC). More than 3,000 years ago, Chinese emperors kept animals, birds and fish in their gardens. In the Middle Ages, it became fashionable for European kings to give each other exotic animals - monkeys, peacocks and lions. Private collections of animals were called menageries. Wandering menageries that roamed the cities of Europe were very popular in the 19th century.



Scientists began to show interest in the study of animals as early as the beginning of the 18th century. It was at this time that they began to make families of animals and give them Latin names - so that any animal could be recognized under its new name anywhere in the world. Their work led to the creation of the first public zoos. Initially, they were called zoological gardens, and later simply zoos. One of the first was the London Zoo, opened in 1829.

On the eve of the International Day for Biological Diversity, BiletyPlus.ru introduces its readers to the very best zoos on the planet, which have gained fame and gained popularity all over the world.

What is a zoo?

Wild and unusual animals have long been kept "for the amusement of the public" and as their own palace "chip" by many rulers of various countries. Rare animals were brought from afar, sovereigns gave each other. The question is whether these overseas living curiosities could fully exist in a foreign environment, whether they could be properly taken care of. Reliable written references to the first full-fledged zoos, in our understanding, date back to about the middle of the 15th century.

The main goal of the best modern zoos is not only (and sometimes not so much) the demonstration of wild animals, but also the conservation, reproduction and study of their species diversity. Including rare endangered species. Currently, about 40% of mammals and birds and about 54% of reptiles are under the threat of destruction in nature - think about it!

Everyone is aware of the catastrophic situation with giant pandas, which the Chinese government even “leases” to other zoos in the world in order to preserve and breed. But there are a lot of similar examples: David's deer, Przewalski's horse... And for all these and many other animals, zoos today, alas, are the only real opportunity not only to survive in our world, but sometimes, which is a special pride and joy of biologists, even restore their populations. in wild nature. This has already happened, for example, with bison and wild asses.

Of course, the above is not about cramped zoos, and even more so mobile menageries, where animals are sometimes kept in inappropriate conditions. The main "feature" of modern zoos is the creation of conditions for animals as close as possible to their natural habitat; interactive with visitors (are you interested in hearing the world through “rabbit ears”, feeding a liger or, for example, jumping with frogs?); participation in various international programs for the conservation and restoration of endangered species. It is these real zoos that will be discussed in our mini-review. So, get acquainted, here they are, the very best!

Zoo ()

Schönbrunn Zoo Vienna is the oldest zoo in the world. The imperial menagerie near the palace has existed in its place since the 16th century, but the official year of birth is 1752, when an elegant breakfast pavilion was added to the enclosures, and in 1779 the general public was allowed in here, and for free.

Today, about 500 species of animals peacefully exist here on the territory of the palace and park complex, many of which are rare and unusual, because the zoo specializes in studying the behavior and breeding of rare animals. And they are doing it with success. For example, here for the first time in Europe they were able to get the offspring of a giant panda, Amur tigers regularly breed.

And what about the local magnificent Aquarium, reproducing the tropical nature of the Amazon, or the Polarium - a pavilion for the inhabitants of the Arctic! Who else can you see here? Giraffes, serows, Galapagos tortoises, rhinos, American bison, anteaters, Japanese cranes, Asian buffaloes, zebras, bearded vultures, hippos, koalas and many, many others.

Zoo ()

In London, in Regen Park, there is the oldest scientific zoo in the world, founded at the beginning of the 19th century as a zoological collection intended exclusively for scientific research. However, already in the middle of the century it was opened for public visits. The zoo is not a state zoo, but belongs to the Zoological Society of London.

It was here that specially equipped serpentarium, insectarium, aquarium and even a children's zoo were first available to the public.

Now more than 750 species of animals and birds live in the zoo: gorillas, tapirs, lions, armadillos, penguins, hyenas, parrots, butterflies, lemurs, servals, flamingos, camels ... It is interesting that in 2001 some of the large inhabitants like elephants and rhinos were transferred to the zoo branch in Bedfordshire.

Zoo ()

The German Metropolitan Zoo is the richest in terms of species diversity in the world, although only the ninth in size. Over 1,500 species of animals live here on an area of ​​35 hectares! Every year there are about 2.6 million visitors: at the same time the zoo and the most visited in Europe.

This park was opened in 1844, and antelopes became its first inhabitants. The zoo quickly grew, expanded, replenished the collection of animals. And then the war happened and 98% of the animals and birds died, after which the livestock and facilities had to be restored almost from scratch.

Today, in addition to enclosures and pavilions for numerous and diverse animals, there is a landscape park and even a three-story aquarium with fish, reptiles and amphibians. It is interesting that they try to give the animals maximum freedom here: you may well see pelicans walking freely along the paths of the park, or hippos communicating with antelopes through a low stone wall.

Visitors to the Berlin Zoo can feed the animals, ride around the territory in special chairs and even the railway, visit the castle of King Ferdinand, and participate in numerous recreational activities. Rare and endangered species are bred here and cooperate with many specialized organizations around the world.

Zoo ()

This zoo got into the world record holders due to its area: not much, not little, but 300 hectares of natural landscapes with stylized pavilions for each animal species!

The zoo is quite young, “born” only in 1980, but it has something to boast about. For example, a show of drawing elephants. Or the largest open poultry house in the US. Or a giraffe farm. And even an abundance of exotic tropical greenery from palm trees to orchids. No wonder it is in the top twenty in the world.

Instead of bars, there are moats of water or glass walls, so Komodo dragons, black rhinos, gorillas, Cuban crocodiles, pygmy hippos, kangaroos and white tigers can be seen almost at arm's length. For the convenience of visitors, there are bicycle taxis and a monorail, children's playgrounds, cafes and souvenir shops.

Ranua Zoo ()

And this zoo is notable primarily for being the northernmost in the world, located just south of the Arctic Circle. It was discovered relatively recently, in 1983, and serves as a home for many northern and arctic animal species that feel great, as they do not live in cages, but in natural landscapes. In the zoo you can see musk oxen, polar and brown bears, lynxes, wolverines, reindeer, arctic foxes, wild boars and many others, about 60 species in total. By the way, Ranua Zoo is one of the few where polar bears have successfully bred in captivity.

At least 100,000 visitors come here every year, for whom attractions such as dog and reindeer sledding work during the “hottest” winter season. The zoo is also famous for the fact that it houses a large animal hospital and a pet park.

Of course, we have not listed all the wonderful modern zoos that delight visitors in the world, and which are distinguished by wonderful conditions for animals. Zoos in ,

In general, Happy International Biological Diversity Day to you, dear inquisitive travelers. We hope that now, having looked into some corner of our planet, you will definitely ask: is there a glorious zoo there too? Take a look - you won't regret it!
