This activity doesn't make sense. Is the food amount supposed to be the area? Why do some of the animals have a different area listed than the amount of food?

Wonderful resource for the end of the year. 3rd grade approach us and shared that they start with area and perimeter so some extra practice would be great! The students had a blast creating their own zoos!
