Make Your Own Animal at Switch Zoo
Sunday November 1, 2009
Switch Zoo is a clever little site that lets you combine body parts from different animals to create your own unique breed. Choose from 142 animals and then change the head, body and/or tail. How about a zebra with the head of a chimpanzee and the tail of a red squirrel? After reading facts about each of the animals you choose, the site allows you to write a story about your new animal and print it out. Switch Zoo also has games and other activities.
Parents should note that Switch Zoo displays Google ads prominently on the site, which means you're never quite sure what ads you'll see while visiting.

Thank you for your recommendation of switchzoo.com! My 5, 8, 10 year old children and I checked it out briefly before school this morning and they absolutely love it! What a fabulous way to learn about habitats, ecosystems, and animals! I will definitely use it in my own elementary classroom and make a strong recommendation to other teachers!
