Zoe’s Top 5 Museum Animals!
Family Day Weekend is approaching and the ROM is talking about animals! I have many favourite animals and they can all be found right here at the ROM, so come and check them out!
Snow Leopard
- Snow leopards are not only beautiful and endangered but they can also be found 3500 meters above sea level and their scientific name is Uncia Uncia.
Panda
- Panda’s are simply just awesome and can up to 14 kilograms of bamboo a day. The dark eyespot of a panda cub is shaped as a circle but as the cub grows the circle becomes a teardrop shape. The name of the Panda originated from the Nepalese word poonya, which translates into “bamboo-eating animal.”
White Rhinoceros
- There’s no doubt that you’ll miss the striking white rhino in the Schad Gallery at the ROM. The White Rhino is one of the workd’s largest land mammals. White Rhinoceros’ can be found in Africa’s grassy plains or wallowing in mud.
Zebra
- Without doubt the Zebra’s one of my favourite animals! It’s one of the only animals that start with the letter “z” like my name. The famous zebra stripes are a defense mechanism that makes it harder for predators to pick out which zebra to chase. Zebra’s are also very social animals and they can run up to 56 kilometers per hour.
Racoon
- My final favourite animal is Toronto’s night-time mascot, that is notorious for snooping through our garbage at night. Raccoons are very vocals and have a large variety of calls to communicate with. The raccoon’s scientific name is Procyon lotor, which translates into “washer dog.”
If you’re nearby, stop at the ROM during Family Day Weekend and find out more about my favourite animals. What’s your favourite animal?
