SEES Students Experience Live Kangaroo, Python, Parrot, and More During Animal Program Today

A "ZOODLES" instructor holds a ball python that later slithered on the floor as SEES students watch from the gym bleachers.

This morning "ZOODLES" (an Animal Education Program) hopped into South Edmonson Elementary School to provide them with a free, hands-on presentation on wildlife and exotic animals. 

According to school counselor Penny Tuttle, the company brought a Solomon Island Eclectus Parrot that flew around the gymnasium, an Indonesian Blue Tongue Skink, a Ball Python that slithered on the floor, a Bearded Dragon, and a 5-month-old Red Kangaroo Joey. 

SEES Counselor Mrs. Penny Tuttle feeds a bottle to a 5 month-old baby kangaroo, (a joey) during a "ZOODLES" presentation.

​Mrs. Penny said the Zoodles staff talked with students about these animals' habitats, diets, and survival strategies.  Some students took advantage of a photo op and an one-on-one animal encounter.  Mrs. Penny also got in on the fun by feeding the Joey her noon-time bottle.
