Wildlife Encounters brings exotic animals to elementary students
The Osmond elementary students got a rare treat on Thursday, October 6. Wildlife Encounters brought eight animal to teach students.
The first animal was a macaw that could say hello and wave. The next was a twenty-five year-old Owl (Diago).
A blue-tongued skink was present and volunteer Jack Berg (sixth) held it. There was a green iguana.
A glass lizard, which looks like a snake but it more closely related to lizards, was at the show.
One of the main attractions Noodle, the Albino boa constrictor. It was held by Keely Gubbels and Juliana Kumm.
Everyone got a chance to pet Hank the African crested porcupine. There was an African serval cat that can run up to 68 mph and jump 12-15 feet straight up in the air.
Elementary Student Council sponsored the event for K-6 students. Monies raised through Easter Candy sales paid for the event.
