有用的提示!

是什么野生在动物园? Any birds, insects, reptiles, or mammals you see outside an exhibit is 野生. For example, a cactus wren in our parking lot would count! Strawberry the Bear (while adorable) would not. Many of our plants are purposefully exhibited 和 labeled. A wild brittlebush on to the side of the path would count. A boojum (while remarkable) would not. Remember: if it has a label, it probably isn’t 野生.
使用iNaturalist（或）寻求 for kids) before visiting the Museum. Try it out at home 和 familiarize yourself 与 app. While iNaturalist is fairly intuitive, the app will make a lot more sense after a trial run.
Make useful observations.
- Take identifiable photos. In-focus pictures that fill the frame are much easier to identify than 动物 in the distance.
- Take multiple photos from different angles. For plants, try to include the flower or fruit (if the season is right).
Bring binoculars or field guides. Putting a smartphone camera up to a binocular lens can yield some great pictures!
