Nashville Zoo Exploration


This is my favorite biofact cart to use as I work at the Zoo almost every Friday morning. Here I hid it in the bushes while I ran to the bathroom. It really made the exploring kid painted on the side even more adventurous as he seems to be peering through the jungle. I really enjoy talking about nature and our zoo animals with visitors every week and hope I help a few people appreciate nature even more. This photo was actually made a week ago yesterday when I worked at the Eurasian Lynx exhibit where I particularly enjoy showing our full-body Canadian Lynx pelt and partial body Bobcat pelt. You do know that a Bobcat is a Lynx? 

Yesterday I worked in the African Savannah with the Lion and Zebra pelts and the Eland Skull. With the Lion pelt I also do a brief talk on "Predator-Prey" and how some animals with different abilities help each other to warn when a Lion is coming. And of course Africa is always fun for me!
