Have you ever wondered why an animal does what it does? or How scientists discover so many interesting things? Do you really enjoy finding out Why?

Join the Oregon Zoo's Research Action Team (aka The RAT Pack). Learn how to create a good research question, collect data and make observations, analyze your findings and draw a conclusion. Join the ranks of Jane Goodall and other famous scientists, as you discover interesting animal behaviors using the Scientific Method.

• Check out what we found in 1997 and 1998, then join the RAT Pack for 1999.
• Or, jump straight to Create Your Own Research Study to see how you can create your own research project.
• Visit our Teachers Page to learn how to use the principles of ZooWatch in an educational setting.

To observe our animals, you will have to visit the zoo's research stations located around the zoo (see the zoo map for locations).
