Everyone enjoyed handling the beaver, opossum and raccoon furs, sea turtle leather and the variety of skulls on display. It was great to be able to educate the public about the wonders of the natural world. Last summer we also worked in the Hands-on Habitat. This little building was full of interactive items for zoo visitors to touch and examine. We took turns manning the exhibit to help answers visitors' questions.
Tours are a blast to do.
It is amazing how inquisitive children and even the adults can be. Everyone seems to enjoy hearing fun facts about the animals. It is not all work. We also take educational trips and other fun get-togethers. Last fall, we took a trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo.
