Creature Seeker
Overview
Students work together to classify Perth Zoo animals based on observable features. They will explore the similarities and differences of the vertebrate classes with some of the most interesting and exciting animals from accross the globe. In small groups, students will investigate the defining characterisitics of animals and determine what class of mammal those animals belong to. They will then use this information to find out which creature we seek.

Supervising Adults
We want you to be able to supervise your students fully and fulfil your duty-of-care and so we provide free admission for supervising adults on the following ratios:
- K – 3 : One adult per five children (1:5)
- 4 – Tertiary: One adult per ten students (1:10)
Additional adult helpers pay regular Zoo admission. Perth Zoo offers free entry to carers or essential companions of those with particular needs. We accept the national Companion Card or a letter from a recognised care/social service organisation. The principal of the school needs to provide a letter identifying the carer/essential companion/Education Assistant (Special Needs) that will be accompanying your group.
