On Wednesday Audrey from the Blank Park Zoo came to visit the Threes, Fours, and Pre-K Class. She brought many different critters with her for the kiddos the learn about.
Our first furry friend was not furry at all but covered in a hard shell. We met a Gopher Tortoise which we learned is very different from a turtle.
We got to feel the shell of the tortoise.
Audrey brought a Red Tailed Hawk which is a native of Iowa and can be seen in the local habitat.
This is a Brazilian Toad which is not native to Iowa (did you guess that based on it's name?). Our smarty pants preschools surprised Audrey by knowing the difference between a toad and frog. If you don't know, ask your preschooler....they'll fill you in.
One of our most surprising guests was a Tarantula. Who knew that spiders could be so cute!
Some of our friends wanted to admire the Tarantula from a distance.....a large distance.
This little guy is all the way from Florida and will grow to be as long as a giraffe is tall.
We got to pet him too!
All of our little Zoologists listening so well!
