Reservation
bugs have nothing on the gigantic roaches from Afghanistan. These
huge one-half hand sized creatures brought the most squeals and interest
from the primary students at TC Districts Dzil Libei School
in Cameron.
The Phoenix Zoo and education outreach
presenter, Nancy Bohl, paid a visit to Cameron school to show and
discuss animals from foreign places. These extension services were
provided to the Dzil Libei school free of charge, as a courtesy
service from their Phoenix facility through a traveling exhibit
called "Zoomobile."
Lizards and furry creatures from all parts
of the world had a chance to visit the reservation in an assembly
format. Presenter Bohl took each animal carefully from its little
traveling cage and showed the students up close what characteristics
made it so unique to its native country. Hedgehogs, figure 8 shaped
and pastel colored lizards, various insects from Africa were all
part of the Phoenix Zoo show.
The traveling exhibit is available for
rental in the reservation areas and more information TC Public Relations
