Off to the zoo!
First stop, the Education Centre at Marwell for some hands on learning.
A sad display of furs and skins confiscated by customs, now put to an educational use.
Some close up investigation of a snow leopard pelt.
And a tiger skin.
Then live hands on learning when we meet a hissing cockroach! Luckily no hissing today, in fact it was quite friendly!
The python was also quite intrigued by the children and enjoyed the gentle strokes he was given.
Then to the tropical house, where iPads again were used well to zoom in on the leaf cutter ants as they went on their long journey through tubes all around the hot house.
After lunch we boarded the land train to give us a lift up to....
...the giraffes. They were so close inside the Giraffe house, but still out came the iPad for a closer look.
