Wild self story starter

Here is a cool site a friend shared with me (thanks Marisa!)
Build your wild self http://www.buildyourwildself.com/ from New York Zoos and Aquarium.

Here you can design your human self and then add your favourite animal parts to create a whole new you - one with wings or a prehensile tail !

Here are a few links to blogs with how this has been used in the classroom...
