Hi Black Team!

I am REALLY looking forward to the Bronx Zoo trip this wednesday!

DID YOU KNOW...

1) The Bronx zoo is the biggest metropolitan zoo in the United States
2) The Bronx Zoo has over 4,000 animals located on over 265 acres
3) That you may see the Reptile House, Congo Gorilla Forest or Jungle World during our trip?

This is going to be AWESOME!

Click on the map below for a view of the layout of the zoo!



I am writing this post from my lap top in Orlando's airport. I can;t wait to get back to work completing our human body unit and moving into our Food Preservation/Disease Unit.

See you soon!

Mr. Forde :-)
