Wednesday, July 20

It’s game day! Will you be rooting for the Bears? The Hawks? The Lions? The Tigers? Many sports teams are named after large and intimidating animals, but why not an armadillo, a hedgehog, or a chicken? These small and unassuming animals would make an excellent mascot for any team!  Learn about the adaptations of four of our education animals that would make them a great mascot for any swimming, sprinting, or wrestling team. The Blank Park Zoo will be at the library on Wednesday, July 20 - don't miss it!
