A Zookeeper from Dublin Zoo came to talk to us about all the animals in Dublin Zoo this week . He told us all about the animals and their habitats .

The Zookeeper showed us lots of interesting things . Have a look at some of them below :

 A real elephants foot . The elephant dies because it was very old . Elephants always walk on their tiptoe and they don't make any noise when they walk .

An elephants tooth . Elephants only have two really big teeth at the back of their mouths . 

An elephants tusk . Elephants use their tusks for lots of things including finding food and carrying wood . 

Ostriches are the biggest birds in Dublin Zoo. They are not able to fly. This is an ostrich egg. It's shell is really hard to protect the chick inside .

 A Sumatran tiger skin . Isn't it beautiful ? 

A turtle shell . Turtles live to be over a hundred old . Most of the turtles in Dublin Zoo are unwanted pets .
