• Omaha Zoo Bats

    The Omaha Zoo had lots of fruitbats.

    Image

    They were really cute.

    Image

    Most of them were free-flying in the pavillion.

    Image

    And in the evening, when it was dinner time, they were very active.

    Image

    They flew to the fruit to get a bite.

    Image

    And then they flew off carrying it with them.

    Image

    It was very cool to stand in the middle of a swarm of bats.

    Image

    They were mostly very good at avoiding us, but one of them hit Kerri in the head.

    Yurtle the Turtle was at the Omaha Zoo. This is a problem. Yurtle the Turtle from the book seems to in fact be Yurtle the Tortoise, because he lives on land. When you create turtle stacks in the water, the turtles on the bottom need to strain their necks to breathe.
