We started our evening at the Zoo by meeting another set of animal ambassadors to learn about adaptations. By now we're old pros and we know exactly how to gently touch the animals, but we're still learning to be comfortable with new and unusual kinds of creatures!
Many of us had never touched a snake before. It was warmer and softer than we expected!
This tiny Brazilian Possum is new to the job of being an ambassador and she was a bit skittish, but so soft and cute!
Her big ears are an adaptation to help her hear really well.
These Hissing Cockroaches from Madagascar were amazing! We had never touched such a big bug! It was too loud in the room to hear them hiss, though.
Not everyone wanted to touch the hissing cockroaches!
We also met a Ringneck Dove who was very calm and beautiful.
We are learning so much during our time at the Zoo!
