A virtual zoo filled with exotic specimens. Instead of lions, elephants, and zebras, this zoo is stocked with strange creatures from the microscopic worlds around, inside of, and on us. The zoo includes pictures of microbes; data about their size, scientific classification, feeding habitats, and more; and descriptions of how the microbes fit into and interact with their environment and other microorganisms. Zoo specimens are arranged in pavilions representing the habitats in which they naturally dwell, such as Water World, DirtLand, and the Animal Pavilion. Subsections of the zoo pavilions representing specific microbial habitats include the compost heap, the toxic waste dump, habitat on humanity, the termite gut, the house of horrors, and several others.
