Learning about Amazon Animals at The Mews

Recently, service users at The Mews Supported Living Service received a visit from Amazon Jungle Animals. The group enjoyed learning about different types of animals and reptiles. They discovered how to care for the reptiles and animals and discovered what the animals enjoyed eating. As the day progressed the group got the opportunity to hold a large Brazilian lizard, a small tortoise, a large bearded dragon, small frog, a very friendly python and a shy tarantula.

Event organiser David Lockhart, Social Inclusion worker, said:

“Amazon Animal Jungle were fantastic and we hope to have them back again very soon.”
