Tails, Tails, Tails

Yesterday River took a class at The Cincinnati Zoo called Tails, Tails, Tails.  It was all about the many different uses of tails in the animal kingdom.  Afterward, we took a stroll around the Zoo.  It was a beautiful Spring-like day of blue skies and temperatures in the late 60's. After all the snow and rain, all of us (River included) were happy to be cured of our cabin fever and winter blues.

While waiting for class to start, River entertained us by reading about Spiders.  It was difficult to keep her mother off the ceiling.

Mr. John introduced the class to Hurricane the American Alligator. 

Mr. John lets River meet Brittany the Red Eyed Alligator Skink.

Hurricane was very well behaved and let River pet her tail.

My favorite, the Mexican Wolf.  Shortly after this was taken, he and his mate demonstrated their howling abilities.
