{Animal Talks} ~ Ethan

Last week we got to spend one afternoon at the high school by Ethan's school to see the animals the science department has.  I guess we learned some stuff too!

Hedgehogs, bunnies, and chinchillas.  Do you think that works like lion's, tigers, and bears?  "OH MY!"

April finally got to touch a bunny....she's been trying to catch one at home for weeks now!

Tadpoles.  The ones in the green bucket are three weeks old and pretty much just looked like a tadpole.  The ones in the white bucket were 5-6 weeks old.  One of them had already grown hind legs.  It was kind of creepy.

 

Two different turtles.  One was the Kansas box turtle.... (I think)  Go ahead and count the stripes.  One is for each year of their life.  Just like a tree!  Cool huh?

This strange turtle lives under water, and has a funny snout that acts like a snorkel.  She was way harder than she looks.  I thought she was going to feel like a sting ray, but she didn't....

The kids really enjoyed the day at the school!
