The Christmas ranger was able to introduce us to a variety of animals that we don't normally see
She brought some Giant African Land Snails, they are much bigger than ours as ours are still only babies.
The children were very careful when handling them and listened well to the ranger to ensure they weren't harmed.
The ranger also brought a Bearded Dragon for the children to see and touch.
We had to be extremely careful so as not to startle the animal. The children were much braver than their parents.
