A group of zebras stands close together in a sunlit savanna, their black and white stripes creating a striking pattern of natural camouflage. The zebra in the foreground looks directly at the camera, its upright ears and alert expression reflecting the vigilance needed in the wild. Each zebra’s unique stripe pattern helps strengthen social bonds within the herd and offers protection by confusing predators when they move together.

Zoo-Rama

Explore African Hall while learning about safari animals like lions, zebras, and elephants, and the grassland habitats they depend on. Through hands-on activities, participants can study the relationship between predators and prey, such as cheetahs hunting gazelles. They’ll consider what animals need to survive, including access to food, water, shelter, and space to roam. Art-integrated learning includes building clay habitats and creating animals from recycled materials.
