This program is especially for children and their parents, grandparents, and the very-much older “kids”.

Wildlife Assocatiates will bring a boa constrictor, tortoise, alligator, tarantula  and  monitor lizard,  live and “on stage”,  to the Visitor Center of San Pedro Valley Park .

Children love these critters that are from a class of animals that is a step away from most of our pets, some of the most misunderstood animals of the wild.  The tortoise is a Mojave Desert one; the Monitor Lizard is huge and impressive.

It’s fun to watch the movement of all these creatures, as each one is brought out onto a large table by the handlers.  Expert handlers plan to “dispel myths and explore the importance these animals have in nature’s diverse web of life”, helping us see the significance of their existence, as well as that of the reptiles and spiders of our Park.
