Move animals from a boat to their new home in a zoo. Put them on a cart, then use monkeys to push or pull them up a hill. Put the monkey on the side of the cart needed to move the animal up the hill. For example, put a monkey on the left to push a koala or on the right to pull a kiwi. This learning object is the first in a series of three objects that progressively increase in difficulty.
