This month we are going to take a outing the zoo!!! Please let me know all of your favorite zoo animals so I make sure we visit those animals and pack for adventure!!! This will start our Zoo badge. I will even throw in a petting zoo animals so that can go towards our petting zoo part of the season challenge for everyone working on the spring challenges. We cant really touch them but I'm sure there are others like me unable to actually go to a petting zoo right now. Im planning a fun snack to tie into it just haven't figured out what I want to do yet once I do Ill post it so everyone who wants a snack can enjoy it. If you cant attend u still can earn the badge by going to the zoo in person or virtually to fulfil this part of the badge. Im so excited see everyone there!!!!

This is SO CUTE! 

My favorite animals is an elephant! 🐘 I love their extra long snoots, and they're big soulful eyes! They have some of the most intricate memories of animals out there, and can recal complex geographical landscapes to get back to important sites. They are one of only two or three animals that can actively cry and have been known to mourn the loss of other animals and herd-mates they loved. They are totally the best! 

So excited!

I found 2 videos of the butterfly house at Melbourne zoo

this one is under 2 minutes but isn’t really a walk through. It also has someone talking about it after it reopened after they did a refurbishment (but could be muted?)  
this one is over 12 but is a walk through. 

My Favourite animals to see at the zoo are 
Meerkats
Elephants
Reptile house . 
all the attached videos are keepers talking about the exhibits 

I also have this video of a zoo safari. 
It is highly likely I spend a lot of time watching this type video and have a lot of links saved. Haha.

😆 Yeah, I'm a night owl too sometimes and other times I don't get a say in it. My brain just dies what it wants lol

If it's 2:00am there, you are about 14 hrs ahead of LilLizzie. So at the time of the meeting, it'll be around 6am i believe for you.
