Safari Phil Animal Adventures Visits Year 9 Students
Year 9 students had an unforgettable experience when Safari Phil and Spikey Dave brought their impressive collection of exotic animals to school. The visit, which left students both fascinated (and slightly terrified!!), provided a hands-on learning opportunity that tied into their current studies on genes and evolution.
The diverse collection of animals included a blue-tongued skink, a royal python, a Mexican red-knee tarantula, tortoises, Madagascar hissing cockroaches and African giant millipedes. As part of the session, students explored the fascinating adaptations and evolutionary histories of these creatures.
Many students embraced the chance to handle the animals and learn about how to properly care for exotic pets. We apologise to any parents who may now find themselves fielding requests for vivarium’s and reptiles for Christmas!
