Virtual Zoo Trip

ZooVentures brings all the pets and reptile stars direct to you for around an hour of fun and learning. This visit includes an exciting mix of all types of animals that students will love!

There will be a 'dragon' feeding demonstration, cute and fluffy pets, tortoise vs turtle, chinchilla dust bath explosion, mouse treadmill challenge, giant skinks, gorgeous geckos, a rose cockatoo, Remington the 'velociraptor' lizard and more!

Amazing Adaptations

We look at how animals 'fit' their habitats, stay safe from predators and generally thrive and survive. With a 'focus on feet' we look at the paws and claws of birds, mammals, and reptiles, and see how they are all perfectly adapted to their habitat and way of life.

Endangered Animals

Animals featured are mice, chinchillas, tortoises, frogs, and newts! With the help of these amazing creatures, we illustrate the main reasons why animals become endangered and ultimately extinct – introduced species, hunting and poaching, habitat loss, and pollution.

'The Science of Cuteness'

Why are we drawn to cuteness? ZooVentures explores this fascinating topic and looks at what 'cuteness' is, what it does to our brains, evolutionary advantages, and even cuteness aggression! We are of course joined by the cutest of the ZooVentures creatures, and a few not-so-cute just to make our point!

Live Lizards

Learn about these fascinating reptiles and how they live. We look at some of their adaptations and why this ancient group continues to thrive. There will be bearded dragons, blue tongue skinks, leopard geckos, and a huge water dragon to meet - and all while being a lounge lizard yourself!

Journey Through the Animal Kingdom

Take a journey through the animal kingdom with ZooVentures! Starting with creepy crawlies and travelling through fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

We look at each group's special characteristics and how this helps them to thrive and survive. Animals featured are; minnows, frogs, blue tongue skink, rose cockatoo, rabbits, and dogs.

Petkeeping with Zooventures - Mice and Guinea Pigs

Learn how to care for these popular pets from purchase through to diet, handling and general care. Star participants are the ZooVentures mice, the guinea pigs and some of their super cute colleagues. We will design a mouse home together and consider what it means to be a responsible pet keeper.

Petkeeping with Zooventures - Frogs and Turtles

For all budding zookeepers and pet enthusiasts, learn how to be a responsible frog keeper from tadpole onwards. Meet the ZooVentures frogs and watch a 'frigidarium' being constructed. We will also learn about turtle-keeping and meet red ear slider and snake-neck turtles!

How to be a Responsible Petkeeper

Choose any of our animals for an overview of what it means to take care of pets and what to consider before adopting. A broad overview with plenty of animals on show will encourage class discussion around the ethics of bringing animals into our lives.
