The dark circles around meerkats' eyes are
like sunglasses, being that a meerkat can

16. Group
Reflection
We had fun doing this project and we learned
a lot of important things that we do not know.
The trip to the zoo was interesting because
we could see some rare animal that some
countries do not have. We would like to have
another chance to do a group project.We also
learn what is teamwork like and how hard to
be putting the same efforts for the project.
Thank you for your co-operation :D
