## About

A zoo educator introduces one of the Brandywine Zoo's education animal ambassadors, which might be scaled, furry or prickly. Visitors can meet the animal up close, ask questions and learn more about how it lives. The featured animal changes daily, and the program runs only in mild weather. It suits families and curious kids who want a closer look at zoo animals and a chance to talk with an educator.
