The San Diego Zoo is home to hundreds of different exotic animals, from anacondas and meerkats to dung beetles and giant pandas. With the zoo's animal finder, located on its website, students can locate and easily research the animals that fascinate them. There are several convenient ways to scout the site. Readers may proceed alphabetically, by scrolling through the photographs of amur leopards and zebras. Readers may also like to search by category, such as Africa Rocks or Australian Outback. In addition, the site hosts an Animal Name Quick Search for locating specific species. Selecting any animal will link to useful information. For instance, at up to 10 feet long and 176 pounds, the Komodo dragon is the largest living lizard species with ancestors dating back more than 100 million years.
