A Day at the Lincoln Park Zoo
By: Ashley Stewart
This is Rory the lion. He lives at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois. Rory was born in captivity and has lived at the Lincoln Park Zoo ever since he was a cub.
This is Jenny. She lives in the Lincoln Park Zoo with Rory and the other animals. Jenny can eat up to 140 pounds of twigs and leaves daily!
Meet Patrick the Polar Bear. Patrick primarily eats seals. They often rest silently by the seal's breath hole in the ice, waiting for a seal to come up to the surface so they can catch them.
This is Sally the Zebra. Zebra's use their sharp front teeth to bite the grass and then its duller back teeth to crush and grind the grass. A zebra's teeth grow throughout its entire life, because the constant grazing and chewing wears them down!
