3. Exception Handling

The system gracefully handles input mismatches and other exceptions to ensure a smooth user experience.

4. Polymorphism in Action

The zoo system uses polymorphism to manage different types of animals. The Animal class is extended by specific animal classes (e.g., Mammal, Reptile, Amphibian), each overriding methods like feed and read for unique behavior in the "Visit Animal" section.

5. Hardcoded Animals

Six animals are hardcoded into the system to be present in the zoo by default:

1. Simba - A majestic lion 🦁
2. Coco - A playful chimpanzee 🐵
3. KomodoDragon - A fearsome Komodo dragon 🐉
4. Rattler - A venomous rattlesnake 🐍
5. Frog - A bullfrog 🐸
6. Stripes - A tiger salamander 🦎

6. Subcategories and Exact Spelling Requirements

For specific animal types, the user must enter exact subcategories to proceed:

• Mammals: mammaltype1 or mammaltype2
• Reptiles: reptiletype1 or reptiletype2
• Amphibians: amphibiantype1 or amphibiantype2

📝 Note: Ensure the correct spelling is used when entering these subcategories!

7. Default Ticket Price

The default ticket price for all attractions is set to 101.0.
