Animal care<br />

What would you like for<br />

lunch? Do you think a<br />

rabbit would like to eat<br />

that? Do you think a<br />

parrot could eat your ice<br />

cream?<br />

Most animals would not<br />

like our food. They<br />

might eat it if they were<br />

hungry, but it is not<br />

always good for them.<br />

Nature needs to make<br />

sure that different<br />

animals like different<br />

kind of food, otherwise<br />

everyone would eat the<br />

same food and soon<br />

there would be none left.<br />

PPT showing different<br />

animals with unusual<br />

food kept in front of<br />

kennel etc. and<br />

familiarize them<br />

gradually with those<br />

creatures which they<br />

don't find in their<br />

immediate surroundings<br />

e.g. a lion - den, a rabbit<br />

- burrow etc.<br />
