Build Your Wild Self is a fantastic website sponsored by the New York Zoos and the Wildlife Conservation Society. The site is a fun and easy way for students to create their own avatars with animal characteristics ~ perfect when you are teaching lessons on animals, habitats, and biomes. There is even a link at the bottom that will take you to the many zoos located in NYC - such as the Central Park Zoo, New York Aquarium, Bronx Zoo, and Queens Zoo.

As you can see from the screenshot - students follow down the tabs, first choosing 'boy' or 'girl' and can then customize their avatar's face, clothes, and animal characteristics. Have fun!

Thanks to TechGeek - one of my PLN friends from Plurk - for sharing this site.
