Critter Guy
The first animal we met is Woody. Woody is a tree frog. He lives high up in the trees and has dry, rubbery skin on top of his body, and cool, wet skin on the underside of his body. He uses his suction-cup toes to hold onto things and to help him climb.
The second animal we met were a pair of ring-neck doves named Squib and Squab. They had special “hair cuts” where their feathers were trimmed so they cannot fly. When they are apart for more than a minute, when they are reunited, Mr. Dove makes a laughing sound because he is so happy to see Mrs. Dove again!
After the doves, we were introduced to a lizard! The lizard was a bearded dragon named Puff. He felt very rough (like sandpaper). We also got to watch him be fed mealworms!
Next up was a friendly, small mouse named Ginger. She likes to walk and climb on people and it feels very tickly!
Near the end we met the softest animal ever! She was a grey chinchilla named Cotton!
Our last animal of the day was a snake named Candy.
