ReplyDeleteWhat I learned at the zoo is that Ivan died of old age .What I also learned was that Ivan loved stuffed animals
ReplyDeleteI learned so many interesting fact s about Ivan like Ivan's favorite color was red. I did not know that some of the female gorillas took a little power over Ivan because he didn't act like a silverback gorilla would really act. I loved when Jodi Carrigon told us about Ivan. It was an amazing field trip.
ReplyDeleteWhat I learned today at Zoo Atlanta was that Ivan's favorite color was red.I also learned that Ivan was very gentle and loved his stuffed animals .I was very surprised when Jodi Carrigan taught Ivan how to do his finger print on his paintings.The funny part was when Ivan tried to throw a meatball at a care keeper. The most interesting part about this field trip is that Ivan did not like water so he used the dustbags to cover the water and then step on them.
ReplyDeleteI learned from jodi Carrigan is that Ivan threw a me-ball at someone because Ivan didn't like him but something blocked it.
ReplyDeleteWhat I learned today at Zoo Atlanta that I didn't know that Ivan's legal owners stated in the contract the Ivan's paintings couldn't be sold if it had his name. Zoo Atlanta slipped around that deal by donating paintings to charity.:):):) The most interesting thing was that we got to speak with a keeper of a world famous gorilla!

ReplyDeleteto sigh his papers with his fingerprints on the drawings he
made.

ReplyDeleteWhat I learned about Ivan was that he had a little types piano and threw it at other gorillas. I did not know that he used chest beats to communicate with other gorillas. I also learned that the zoo keepers do a scavenger hunt for food with the gorillas. That must be fun. My favorite part about the zoo was watching the ecology show because we got to see a chinchilla and we got to touch a tortoise. I learned a lot about other animals and hope to have as much fun on my other field trips as I did on this one.
ReplyDeleteToday I learned that Ivan’s favorite color was red which was why he used it in many of his paintings. I also thought it was interesting that Ivan had a little piano that he would play with and once he even threw it at Kinyani. Apparently Ivan was well rounded in the arts.thats what I learned and thout was most interesting from what i learned to day.

ReplyDeleteThe most interesting part of the zoo was the gorillas. The gorillas were funny when they beat their chest. The old gorillas are really weird because they sit around like a lazy potato bag doing nothing. Something I learned is that Ivan threw a piano at Kenyani.
