Golden Lion Tamarin Project

During the 2010/2011 school year I worked with Nancy, my zoo teacher, on an independent project.  I had to choose an animal, research its habitat, and create a model exhibit with a sign.  I chose the Golden Lion Tamarin.  I learned a lot about them.  When everything was done, I had to give a Grand Opening speech just like if the zoo were opening a Golden Lion Tamarin exhibit for real.

After I was done giving my presentation, Nancy took me on a special tour.  I got to see one of the zoo’s kitchens.  There was a lot of food,  especially lettuce!  Then I put on a mask and went behind the Emperor Tamarin exhibit with their trainer.  When I first entered the exhibit the tamarins all came over to check me out.  They were very curious about me.  I helped the trainer by writing down the weight of each tamarin on a clipboard while she weighed them on the scale.  They were so cute!  I’m really glad I got to go back there.
