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.
Upload your plan to Canvas when it is completed. This could fit into multiple outcomes in the final portfolio. Save time later and add this to your portfolio now.
