So fun! With my daughter home with me all the time now (due to COVID-19), we wake up every morning and spend at least an hour (if not more) watching the "virtual safaris" being aired via FB from the Cincinnati Zoo and the Portland Zoo! We have learned more about wild animals in this time frame than ever before- and it has sparked the interest of my daughter to maintain our wildlife to protect the populations of so many amazing creatures!
