On Tuesday we had a special visitor, and she brought us lots of African animals! We learned about the three main habitats in Africa: savanna, desert, and rain forest. She also explained how we can usually tell which habitat the animals are from just by looking at them. We got to look at a giant snail that was as big as our hands, a huge millipede that had 240 legs, and cockroaches that hissed to make themselves sound like snakes – wow! We also met a Costa Rican zebra tarantula (she was so hairy) and a corn snake who slithered on our carpet!

Thank you so much to Zoolab for bringing all of these exciting animals into our school.
