The Gunn Jr Library is excited to welcome Animal Embassy for Athletes of the Animal Kingdom on Monday, December 28, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This interactive program invites families to discover the amazing athletic abilities of animals and how these skills help them survive in the wild.
Participants will meet a variety of live Animal Ambassadors and learn about their remarkable abilities. From frogs that rapidly extend their tongues to catch prey and lizards that perform push-ups to mark their territory to rabbits that sprint to escape predators and birds that travel impressive distances, there is plenty to discover! The program will also explore how animals use these skills in their habitats and why a healthy, nutrient-rich diet is important for keeping them active.
Featured Animal Ambassadors may include a New Caledonian Giant Gecko, an Argentine Black and White Tegu, Gray Tree Frogs, a rabbit, a Carpet Python, a Eurasian Eagle Owl, and a lovebird.
