What fun we had learning about Fantastic Frogs!! The Environmental Study Center in Brooklyn was fabulous! We were greeted at the door by a ...

| A beautiful boa constructor |
We were lead into a room that had a vast tank with an American Eel and a Toad Stonefish.
 |
| The eel came right up to the top of the tank to look at us! |
 |
| The Stone Toadfish stayed hidden in the shell the whole time! |
Then came the fun part!! We observed fire bellied toads! We learned that although they look poisonous with their bright orange tummy, they actually aren't poisonous at all! It's called mimicry!
And the best of all...we got to hold them!!
 |
| They feel bumpy! |
 |
| And oh so squishy, slimy! |
 |
| We also got to touch a corn snake! |
 |
| There were fish to look at... |
 |
| A chatty Cockatoo! |
 |
| Two of the biggest turkeys we're ever seen! |
 |
| Even a very sleepy hedgehog! |
We had such a great time today! And when we got back to school, what should be waiting for us?
Our Tadpoles!!!
