How to Make an Exotic Animals Chart

A chart of exotic animals stands out as a handy learning tool, whether you use it as a study guide for a science class, a reference source or as part of your classroom's wall décor. These directions identify the six main exotic animals and include interesting facts about them.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Get blank poster paper or open a new document in a computer graphics program. Add the title, "Chart of Exotic Animals," somewhere on the document. Draw two rows of six rectangles.

2. Insert a picture of a giant panda. Beneath the title, explain that the endangered giant pandas spend about 12 hours per day eating their favorite food, bamboo.

3. Draw a picture of a black-handed spider monkey. State that these exotic animals live in large groups and eat mostly fruit and vegetation.

4. Add pictures of zebra duikers. Beneath the picture, explain that these exotic animals get their food by eating fruits and leaves dropped on the ground by monkeys and birds.

5. Include a picture of a walrus. Explain that the skin of these animals becomes pale in cold water and changes to red in warm water.

6. Continue with a picture of an aye-ayes monkey. Affix a short sentence stating that these endangered monkeys live only in Madagascar and eat insect larvae.

7. Finish the chart with a picture of the white rhinoceros. Clarify that these endangered species use mud baths to cool down their bodies and remove harmful parasites.
