| Lion This week's Mammal Day was Lion. Each group made a different paper-mache animal for the lions, and the keepers put them out on Thursday morning. We all watched the lions run out and tear up the cardboard animals. On our Lion Day, we met the Lion Keeper at the Lion Night House, and we learned all about these large carnivores. We made a lion craft to take home, and we played a lion game. |

| Amazon Parrot For Bird Day, we made enrichments for the parrots under the supervision of an education staff member. Then, we met another education staff member at the Animal Theatre and learned all about the Amazon parrots. We met Eddie and Twizzler, and some of us even had our photos taken with these beautiful birds. Later, we met an education staff member to candle eggs and to hold the baby chicks. We also played a game and made a parrot craft. |

This week's Reptile is the Iguana. We learned about the two species of iguanas at Lion Country Safari (green iguana and rhinoceros iguana), and we were able to hold the plastic iguana (which looks real) shown in this photo. We looked all around the iguana moat to count how many iguanas are in there. Later, we played a fun game and we made a cool iguana craft, too.

| Commissary Keeper We learned that the Commissary Keeper prepares the diets for the animals in Safari World and the Las Pampas section of the Preserve. And we helped to clean the education animal exhibits at the Commissary. Some of us had our photos taken with one of these animals. We also played a game and made a craft to remember our special keeper day. |

We took a walk through the Butterfly area of Safari World to look for these amazing insects. Some of us also played a game about Butterfly migration and all of us made a special butterfly craft.
