These biofacts have been created by The Office of the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools (FCSS) in partnership with the Fresno Chaffee Zoo (FCZ). The biofacts and information about each animal are provided by FCZ and then the Digital Learning Coordinator at FCSS who then converts them into digital form. FCSS mostly utilizes photogrammetry methods to turn the physical biofacts into digital models with the use of Reality Capture software. Once completed, the models are then uploaded into Sketchfab thanks to their Cultural Heritage education program. The models are further utilized throughout the Access the World Around You portal which provide additional information about the animals and the Zoo's conservation efforts.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about each of these fascinating creatures. I hope that you enjoy your exploration.
