Granite State Zoo presented
"A World Full of Wild Tails"
Children met live animals up close and personal, with a fascinating presentation of animals from around the world!
 An adorable baby Bobcat opened the show! |

 An attentive audience was introduced to a young Arctic Fox who is beginning to grow white fur on his feet and in his ears : |

|
|
Next, "Fiona," a stunning African Crested Porcupine : |

Everyone was eager to gently stroke this Eclectus Parrot from the Solomon Islands.
|
|
| And for the Grande Finale....."Medusa" a 145-pound Adult Burmese Python! | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Parents, librarians, and a strong youngster got to hold Medusa! | ||
|
|
||
| And then, anyone who wanted to pet the Python had the opportunity! | ||
|
||
| After the program, the baby bobcat had a little freedom and decided to check out a librarian! | |
