Fun Fridays
One of the best things about my new job is Fun Fridays. Every week, we have a fun activity for two hours or so. Last week, Scott, who volunteers at Hogle Zoo, persuaded a docent to come and bring some animals to show us.
This is a cast of the skull of the Ghost of the Bayou.
Here's a reptile, but I don't remember what kind.
We got to feel the snake. It was actually quite soft.
This lion skin reminded me of the last book in the Narnia Chronicles, The Last Battle.
But my favorite was the owl. No wonder they have the reputation of being so wise. It just sat there serenely staring. It's just like how I used to always have crushes on the silent boys in high school. I imagined they were thinking all sorts of deep things. Imagine my disappointment when I finally got up enough nerve to talk to them.
Look at those talons!
There was also a tiny little armadillo that curled up into a ball.
But when you set it down, it runs so quickly that I could barely get a picture.
And then when you pick it back up, it curls up so tightly. It was adorable.
