Jessi’s IN THE FIELD NOTES:
I was truly inspired by the cultural evening that the PDRT team hosted around an evening campfire. I soaked in the knowledge of African culture and how the local communities view nature. So much singing and dancing and JOY! --Jessi

We imagine this is the look on any carnivores face when they are presented a bowl of greens!?!

**This snake friend has turtle roommates, here at the zoo. He did have his own mouse meal later that day!

I had great fun while participating with the guides, in the Bush Camp Kids nature art lessons. THE PDRT guides led an engaging and fun experience for the kids. Here the group shares their cool artwork!!

Even the smallest animals are discovered while creating art in nature. Here we noted an amphibian and an invertebrate.

I will be back with more to share from this amazing country and people. Jessi

Sloth Love Affair!

When they are looking at us expectantly for breakfast, lunch of dinner, lazily looking at us through partially closed eyes while napping or when they are busy foraging leaves from their browse branches...these kiddos have our ❤️'s!!
