Saturday we went to Tucson's natural history museum (International Wildlife Museum). The displays at the museum are great! It really puts the Las Vegas natural history museum to big time shame! Tuscon's NHM is small, but they have put a lot of time and effort into the exhibits. Cole and Parker especially loved the ferret tunnel (see pictures below) and Cole loved running around and around the legs of the giraffe. Cole was a bit of a monkey for much of it, but all-in-all we had a great time.
There were a few animals there that I had never seen before. One was the African Civet. I am determined to learn more about it and then bore all of you with a detailed report at some later date (fun for all of you!).
Cole running around and around the legs of the giraffe. There was this little ramp/walk way under the giraffe and through it's legs. Now and again Cole would stop and look up.
Here's Parker's turn with the giraffe!
Parker the crocodile slayer! There was also a lion for the kids to touch - but it looked more like the velveteen rabbit after a few bad washes and a few run ins with a cheetah! It's mane looked like a child had gotten hold of it with some scissors - but it was fun for the kids to see so up close and personal!
Cole in the ferret hole! I was getting dizzy with how many times he went around and through!
Parker in the ferret hole!
