WhoZoo Template
Student WhoZoo Pages
2002
INSTRUCTIONS TO PAGE AUTHORS: Please use the template below (under the triple horizontal bars) for constructing your WhoZoo pages. This template was written in Netscape Composer, the editing software available on on the Wesleyan computers, and is intended to be used with Netscape Composer.
See the Instructions for the WhoZoo Web Page for detailed information on how to use Netscape Composer for working with this template.
CARFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BOTH ON THIS PAGE AND ON THE TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS.  THESE WILL ANSWER MANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AND WILL SAVE A LOT OF REPAIRS LATER ON.
The format and kind of information you will need for your page are indicated below.   INSTRUCTIONS are written in black. EXAMPLES are written in green.  Both should be removed as you fill the template with the information on your animal.

Assignment 2:
(See Instructions for due date)
INSTRUCTiONS TO AUTHORS:
Name of Your Animal Here
Garibaldi



 

                                                       

Name: Garibaldi
Scientific name: Pomacentridae
Range: Along the California Coast
Habitat: Shallow waters along rocky bottoms
Status: Not threatened 
Diet in the wild: insects, foliage
Diet in the zoo: herbivore diet
Location in the zoo: Aquarium
Assignment 3: Fill in the remaining boxes below with the appropriate information
(See Instructions for due date)
The type of information that goes in each section is illustrated in the samples below, using a green font. Additional instructions and tips are in black.

Each of the boxes below (and the one above) is a Table. You can create any additional tables you need, using the "Table" control above. Tables are useful for organizing information on your page, and can be placed in various positions on the page. Right-click on any of the tables on this page, then select "Table Properties" to see what options you have. "Borderless" (set border line width = 0) tables can help to position material exactly where you want it on a page. This allows you to set the size, color, alignment, etc. of materials in tables. The borders will show as dotted lines in your text editor, but won't show up on the page. You can also set up tables within tables.

Physical description: 
 
  • Body Length is rougyly 12 to 14 inches. 
  • Orange in color
  • Small, narrow mouth
  • Rounded, somewhat ovular shape. 
  • Tail is short, and heart shaped 
  • Stubby fins
  • When young, Garibaldis have blue spots

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS: Note: in giving dimensions, use the English system -- pounds and inches. Most of our visitors are U.S. school children who are not very familiar yet with the metric system. You may, however, give dimensions in BOTH inches and centimeters, etc. to give your page an international flare. :-) 

You may use either a bulleted list or a narrative paragraph to describe the physical appearance of your animal. Note the form and placing of the picture credit. To get the text beside instead of under the picture, I right-clicked to get "Image Properties" and then selected the second box from the right under "text alignment and wrapping." You can experiment with other text alignments. It may take some fiddling to get this the way you want it to look. The "Preview" function is very useful for this kind of nitpicky work. 


 
General information:
Although most fish swim in schools, the Garibaldi is solitary in nature.  It is a fiercely territorial fish, and will often attack larger animals that threaten its young.  The garibaldi uses its bright orange color to ward off potential predators.  It usually prefers warm, shallow water and dwells in temperate saltwater regions.

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS: In this box is a good place to talk about social groupings and how the animal makes its living. Take a look at the Table Properties of this or one of the other tables and note that the "cell padding" value is set to 10. This keeps the text from running right into the table boundary. Try some other values to see how it looks. I have also used the "Indent" feature to pull the text more into the interior of the box. The left and right pointing arrows above control the indent. Put your cursor on this paragraph and then increase and decrease the indent to see what it does.


 
Special anatomical, physiological
or behavioral adaptations:
 


INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS:
This is the place to describe special features of the animal. This can include specialized structures like the carnassial teath of cats, unusual sensory structures, specialized appendages or internal organs, etc.

Comments about the Garibaldi of the Fort Worth Zoo:
 
 


INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS: In this space, put information gathered from keepers or other zoo personnel about the history and characteristics of specific animals or groups of animals. Where did they come from? Are they related? Are males and females potential breeders? What is interesting about these specific lions? For example, one of the Fort Worth lions was found abandoned as an infant.


 
Personal Observations:
INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS: In this space include any personal observations you have made on the animal you are studying. This is a fun thing to do. Go hang out at the zoo for a couple of hours and call it homework. Such a deal!

 
Source Materials and Related Links:

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS: You must cite all sources used in constructing your page. Read the requirements for sources again, to be sure you meet criteria. Other possible sources for information besides the print materials mentioned above and the Internet are the information placards at the zoo, interviews with zoo personnel or other knowledgable people. 

In this space, you may also put links to other online information about your animal. Many other zoos have web pages and you may want to link your animal's page with that of the same species at other zoos. A good place to look for other zoo pages is NetVet's List of Zoo Home Pages.

Examples of related sources and links for lions. 
Note that if you use a current book, you can put a link to it at one of the online booksellers, like this one above to Amazon.
