From the hand of the Zoo educator they have been able to see different mammals to learn the common features and differences with the brown bear.

Once in front of the bears they have acted as explorers looking for their footprints, reviewing what they eat, how they reproduce, how and where they live !.

This is the largest mammal on the peninsula and we are lucky that it lives in our home!

Today has been a great day for the Humboldt penguins as these preschoolers have come to visit and learn a lot from them!

On the way we commented on the characteristics of the birds while seeing some that are in the zoo like peacocks calling the differences with the penguins.

Just arriving in front of the penguins, they heard their voice and were lucky enough to see sooooooo close to one of them who was near the glass and had a good time watching the kids and cleaning up. They were blown away by this cute penguin !.

They don’t live on ice and have been able to see the other species that exist, their predators such as feathers, footprints, skull and their eggs with biological material and have discovered a lot more!

It has been very exciting and made me very penguin!

Today we have been visited by the small farmers of p3 that has helped us a lot in our tasks as farmers.

First they have visited our animals and have done a dynamic with puzzles to see what they are like and then have been able to learn what the farmers can take advantage of each animal by doing another dynamic to carry each product and place it in front of the animal that is removed.

We continued with the food, they had to bring food to the Gabonese dwarf goats: hay and carrots! Mmmm they loved the carrot trail that they made!
