I’m really interested in wildlife and when I leave school, I’d love to get a job that involves working with animals. I’m not sure what, though – I’ve been to lots of zoos and seen amazing animals like giraffes and camels but I couldn’t imagine having a job there, really. I’ve even been on what’s called a safari, where you travel to the place where the animals live and watch them there. I’ve been lucky enough to see lions and elephants that way and it was an unforgettable experience. That would really be a great job to have – protecting creatures like that in their natural environment!
Recently, though, I’ve become interested in much smaller creatures, like insects. It started when I was helping outside in our school vegetable patch – we grow things like potatoes and carrots there. I moved some big stones – and underneath there was an ants’ nest! Hundreds of ants were living there and as soon as the stones were moved, they started rushing around, picking up all the eggs in the nest and carrying them to safety. It was incredible to watch. How did they all know what to do or which way to go?
That got me interested in how small creatures communicate with each other. Bees are another example of insects that have amazing communication skills. Scientists think they can tell other bees where the best flowers are by doing a special little dance, for example,
which is amazing. And I’m not sure about this, but I reckon without bees, many of the plants that give us food might die. So although
studying insect communication sounds like it might be really boring, it’s actually essential to understand it. Wish me luck!

Mark would like to work in a zoo because of his interest in animals.

Mark was impressed by the behaviour of the ants he saw.

Mark mentions one way in which bees give each other information.

Mark knows how important bees are to human food supplies.
