Transcript Zoo challenge project

THE ANIMALS I CHOSE FOR THE ZOO:

4 Pandas (2 males, 2 females)

4 Leopards (2 males, 2 females)

4 Rhinos (2 males, 2 females)

4 Tigers (2 males, 2 females)

4 Hippos (2 males, 2 females)

4 Elephants (2 males, 2 females)

4 Cheetahs (2 males, 2 females)

4 Lions (2 males, 2 females)

4 Giraffes (2 males, 2 females)

2 Tortoises (1 male, 1 female)
I chose the first 9 types of animals,
because they are large, exciting animals
that attract the most attention. People
tend to pay more to see these types of
animals. I chose the tortoises because I
had just under $2,000 left in my budget,
so I needed a cheaper animal. I chose
to purchase males and females of each
animal, so that the zoo has the option of
allowing the animals to reproduce.
