Capital of Texas Zoo Show

Zoo Show

We have been going to the library for their summer learning series, and this week was the Capital of Texas Zoo Show. We've seen this guy around at many birthday parties over the years, and seen a few of these animals too! The kids always love this show. The Zoo Man is always very informative and loves to teach the kids about all the rare animals he brings with him. This week he had Kiki the Coati, a crowd favorite, then Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, which he had a hard time finding volunteers to hold! Then my personal favorite, the cutest little baby wallaby, he was so snuggly and adorable, and I could just hear David telling me "NO!" cause he knows I would want to smuggle one home.

Then Sausage, the Blue Tongue Skink, who stuck his blue tongue out to show everyone, quite interesting. We found out that Mrs. Sausage is due to have baby sausages any day now. Then there was Wee Willy the Bettong, an endangered rat, I mean, marsupial, from Australia, he was kind of cute, in a rat type of way. Then Jambo, the porcupine, something you don't see everyday, that's for sure! He was very fascinating, the Zoo Man put him down and let him walk around a bit and he was a very curious porcupine!

Then, the Grand Finale, Julius Squeezer, Riley has gotten to hold him at a party before, but this time, Regan got to go up and let him check her out, he sniffed her hand and I guess she smelled pretty ratty, he got right in her face and sniffed some more. She didn't back down or freak out, she stood her ground. They really enjoyed learning all about these animals, even had some good questions for the Zoo Man, and want to go visit his zoo someday soon.
