Advanced Zoo Management System

Objective:

To develop a Python application utilizing inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling, and lists to

manage various animals in a zoo effectively.

Instructions:

This assignment is to be completed individually.

Your code should be well$-$commented to explain the logic and functionality.

Submit all files in a single ZIP folder titled 'AdvancedZooManagement$\_$YourName$\_$StudentID'.

Requirements:

Part A: Class Design and Inheritance $(30$ Points$)$

Design a base class named 'Animal' and derive the following subclasses: 'Mammal', 'Bird', 'Reptile'.

Attributes:

'name' $($str$)$: the animal's name.

'age' $($int$)$: the animal's age in years.

'health$\_$status' $($str$)$: the animal's health condition, acceptable values are 'Good', 'Fair', or 'Poor'.

Methods:

An $\text{'}\text{'}$ method that initializes the attributes.

A 'display$\_$info$()\text{'}$ method to print details of the animal.

Specific behaviors:

'Mammal': 'give$\_$birth$()\text{'}-$ Outputs a message indicating the mammal has given birth.

'Bird': 'lay$\_$eggs$())-$ Outputs a message that the bird has laid eggs.

'Reptile': 'sun$\_$bathe$()\text{'}-$ Outputs a message about the reptile sunbathing.

Part B: Polymorphism $(20$ Points$)$

Implement a method 'make$\_$sound$()\text{'}$ that exhibits polymorphism:

'Mammal': Outputs "Various sounds depending on the species, e$.$g$.,$ Bark or Roar".

'Bird': Outputs "Chirps".

'Reptile': Outputs "Hisses".

Part C: Exception Handling $(15$ Points$)$

Implement basic exception handling for animal instantiation:

Handle exceptions such as invalid 'age' types and 'health$\_$status' values not in the predefined list.

Use custom exceptions like 'InvalidAnimalError' for trying to add an undefined animal type.

Part D: Using Lists $(15$ Points$)$

Implement list functionalities to manage the zoo's animals:

Maintain a list of animals in the zoo.

Implement methods to add and remove animals from this list.

Use list methods such as 'append$()\text{'},$ 'remove$()\text{'},$ and 'pop$()\text{'}$ appropriately.

Part E: Implementing and Demonstrating Functionality $(20$ Points$)$

Create a demonstration script that:

Instantiates each type of animal.

Demonstrates adding and removing animals from the zoo list.

Showcases exception handling by deliberately causing errors.

File Organization:

animals.py: This file will contain the definition of the base class Animal and all its subclasses Mammal,

Bird, and Reptile.

zoo.py: This file will contain the definition of the Zoo class which manages a collection of animals.

exceptions.py: This file will define custom exceptions that are used throughout the zoo management

system.

main.py: This file will be the entry point of the application, where instances of animals are created, added

to the zoo, and manipulated.
