Sharing basement quarters with them are Oscar the ferret, Winona the prairie dog and Darby the iguana, along with assorted frogs, toads, lizards, scorpions and a tarantula. They're all part of Briere's Little Creatures Company, a show he started more than four years ago to introduce children to the lovable idiosyncrasies of wild animals. Briere brings his animals to the Sterling Heights Nature Center for two family shows Saturday. He's used to debunking myths. And he's used to the funniest questions.
Every year there are more endangered species.
My goal is to help children respect animals and wildlife and appreciate them more. Dan Briere is available for community and school programs. We welcome your comments .
