Salamanders are amphibians!



We learned this at the Ecotarium the other day during the "Animal Encounter." Another great field trip courtesy of the library passes. We had a great time learning about salamanders, and also enjoyed the Dinotracks exhibit. The kids loved looking under the microscopes at different sand from around the world and bugs, of course.

I will say that I can't imagine ever paying full price to go to the Ecotarium. As great a time as we had, it is still a bit...welll...down at heels in portions. The poor polar bear, Kenda, is all alone in a pathetically sad enclosure - gray concrete and peeling paint. How could they not have concentrated on giving this poor animal a decent home?
