Children and adults alike were enthralled with a presentation of live creatures and educational information

First the crowd met the "Sugar Glider," a Lesser Flying Phalanger |
|
|
Next was the Whites Frog (actually blue-skinned with a coating of yellow slime that makes it appear green!) It is named after a Dr. White who discovered these frogs. |
|
|
A big hit was the beautiful Jungle Carpet Python. Children who wished to do so could gently touch his skin.

An Argus Monitor |
|
|
A beautiful Moluccan Cockatoo, "critically endangered & threatened with extinction in the wild." |
|
...And by far the favorite, an adorable young Wallaby! |
