Behind the Scenes at the Gibbon and EEEWW exhibits
February 3, 2008

 

Question: Would you like to feel a snake 
and get up close and personal with a toad and turtle as well? 
Don't miss this special treat at the Santa Barbara Zoo. 

When: Meet at 11 am just outside the Zoo ticket office
 

First we'll visit the gibbon holding area and talk about these fascinating animals' territoriality,  vocalizations and how, although they appear cute and cuddly, they can be deceptively fierce. Then the tour will go behind the scenes at EEEWW where we ll learn that there are often misconceptions about snakes, lizards and toads in the opposite way; for example, some people believe that snakes are slimy and toads give you warts.

Cost: The tour price is $10 (bring your Zoo ID if you are a member). Non-members also pay the $11 price of admission ($8 for seniors). This might be a good time to join this worthy organization. Memberships are $45 for an individual, $55 for a couple and $75 for a family. 

Would those Grads who have not already sent their Zoo tour checks to Nan Cisney please send checks for the tour only for $10 per person, made out to "SB Zoo."  You will either pay for your own Zoo admission separately or else enter through membership.  
 
Nan wants to remind you that this tour was given before only for the docents and then only for the gibbon part.  This will be a really unique tour; several spots are still available.
 Send your checks for $10, made out to the Santa Barbara Zoo, to 
Nan Cisney 
Reservations will be made in the order of checks received.
Don't wait to reserve. This will be an intimate and customized tour limited to only ten people. Don't be left out.
Park in the zoo parking lot and meet Valerie Olson, our tour guide, just outside the zoo entrance.
