Day 3 of Zoo School continued to include lots of adventures and learning! We got to observe a river otter named Steve get trained, and learned about how river otters live in cold climates like Alberta. Steve is named after Steven Tyler of Aerosmith for his impressive vocalizations, and we really enjoyed hearing him chat with us! We spent a lot of time in the commissary learning all about how the zookeepers feed the animals in the zoo (especially the picky red pandas!), and we had many interesting ethical conversations about feeding the carnivores meat. We met a bearded dragon named Pumpkin and a python named Sid, and compared those two animals. There was even a Lucy the elephant spotting in the afternoon which was very exciting!
