Following on from the children’s interest in Australian animals, we recently invited Vince from Aussie Wildlife Displays to come along and share his knowledge about some of the Australian animals that inhabit our environment. 

Firstly, the children were introduced to the reptiles, including Tabitha, a black-headed two and a half-metre python and Sue, a pygmy python. Next, were two shingle-back lizards and a blue-tongue lizard. 

We also met marsupials including a tiny squirrel glider; Dennis, a black red-tailed cockatoo; and Ally the wombat. The last animal we met was Splash the crocodile. Although he was only small, he still had very sharp teeth. Most of the children thought he was very cute and liked patting his tail.

The children thoroughly enjoyed this interactive display - learning more about their environment and the animals that live here.
