The Adventure Kids had quite an exciting afternoon today!
In the dark, stormy hour after zoo camp ended, the Kids were able to save a sea otter that was tangled in kelp from being eaten by a hammerhead shark AND rescue a lost cotton topped tamarin from certain danger. They were even able to convince that same cotton topped tamarin to return to his den to take a nap with them.
Oh wait, that was just the imaginary part of the afternoon...
The real adventure was in hiding out from the rain in the Natural Encounters building. The Kids got to touch a Madagascar Tenrec and learn all about the adorable little creature. We discovered that this particular tenrec is only found in Madagascar and that they are closely related to the shrew. Good thing that the Adventure Kids have been watching The Life of Mammals because they were able to tell the Zoo employee all about shrews. To our surprise, the Zoo employee has never even heard of the series. How is that even possible?
Learn more about tenrecs yourself:
We also had a chance to check out some four eyed fish, a sloth, a few monkeys and a flying fox. If you are looking for adventure, the zoo is a great place to start.
Until next time, happy trails!
