WILDLIFE!!

Wednesday, after going over to a friend's to play and hang out for a bit, we all went to the summer program at the library. The program this week was done by http://ceps.georgiasouthern.edu/wildlife/ . The kids all really enjoyed it and got so see lots of neat creatures! They even got to touch some of the critters which they thought was neat. Mama was happy NOT to touch them though and Kristen opted not to touch the rat!! Here are some pictures of some of the wildlife we learned about!

The rat....


A Red Tailed Hawk. We have lots of these locally. This one was injured and is missing an eye which is why she is at the wildlife center.




An owl of some sort....I can't remember the exact type. She was really big but surprisingly only weighs about 3.5 pounds!!







This is how much Ian enjoyed himself!! ( The program was at 3PM and he hadn't had a nap at all and had been playing hard!)


A Black Indigo snake




Hard to tell in the pictures but these were giant tree frogs. She was showing how they can hold on with the little suction cups on their feet! There is one hanging off her hand and two sitting on her other hand.



A tortoise


I can't remember the exact name but this is some sort of Salamandor!




A California King Snake
