We had a real cool program today to end up the Summer Reading Game.
First the curator talked about mammals -- animals with hair or fur, are warm blooded, and give birth to live young. As an example she brought an opossum. It was so cute!
Then she talked about birds -- animals with feathers, are warm blooded and lay eggs with hard shells. The bird she brought was a burrowing owl.
Finally she spoke about reptiles -- animals with scales, cold-blooded and lays leathery eggs. For this she brought a bearded comoro dragon .
It was a lot of fun and just what we needed to end the summer.
Animal visits are always fun! The
