Animal Care Plan
Select an animal you would potentially take care of over an extended period of time. This could be livestock, a companion animal, a wild population you are assisting, or a wild animal that is being rehabilitated. This can be an animal you have already used in a course assignment or a new animal.
Develop a long-term care plan for the animal, it can be in bulleted checklist or paragraph form. Images are optional, but are often used. Include in your plan:
-
How you will address potentially limited resources like food, water, and housing.
-
How you will address continued threats like diseases or potential predators (if any)
-
Whether care will need to be adjusted for different life stages, for example, an aging animal.
-
How you will stay consistent with care over time as your life changes.
