An morning adventure out to the Kansas City found one of the new monuments as part of the Kansas City Parade of Hearts, identified as one of the most endangered species in the town. While that is highly unlikely, it is probably close enough to the truth.
The penguins were found doing their usual thing in the grand auditorium built for them. The crew found quite a lot of amusement here, watching their regular feeding and established swimming acrobatics, surrounded by a display of jellyfish. The day proved perfect for them, with a few periods of light snow and a little graupel here and there.
A trip down to Africa found only a solitary example of the school mascot pacing anxiously. The cheetah seemed not very impressed with the cooler than usual temperatures on this temporary savanna. The young explorers did not seem to mind much, as the lack of other population in that part of the zoo meant they could get away with a bit more running and shouting than would otherwise be tolerated.
The big apes were tucked away in much warmer conditions, while most of the variety of other species lounged about their indoor saunas. They provided a different level of amusement for the class, which were intrigued by the multitude of different shapes, sizes and colors.
