Malachi was brave enough to touch the bearded dragon...

Denis touched the bearded dragon...

Devyn pet the bearded dragon...

Ms. Hunt was totally grossed out by the baby alligator...

Mrs. Vaillette's mom touched the alligator...

Camron pet the baby alligator...

Logan touched the rabbit too. We learned that adaptations are tools that animals use to help them get the food, water and shelter that they need. What a fun class at the zoo! :)

We Were SO Tierd On The Bus Ride Home!

I guess the zoo really tired some of us out, because we caught quite a few nappers on the bus ride home! :)
