Amazing ‘Animals About’ at Bishop’s

Bishop’s students enjoy seeing and holding many exotic animals as part of Biology Week

As part of Biology Week at Bishop’s, we saw and held some very unusual animals; an African snail, tarantula, snake, hedgehog and an armadillo. Nathan, from Animals About, told us all about the animals habitats and adaptations. I held the tarantula, called Alice. Her feet felt like warm cotton buds on your skin! We learnt how Alice captures her prey and how snakes shed their skin as they grow. It was a great experience and one of my friends held Alice even though she was scared of spiders. How brave!
