Learning About Kiwis and Sheep!




Rainbow Springs Wildlife Park is where I met my first Kiwi...the actual bird, that is. So cute, but so endangered. Here at this park they are rescuing and breeding the Kiwi. They are really interesting little
creatures. Two facts of many: 1. They have wings but cannot fly and 2. They have marrow in their bones like humans!
In the photo above, note that Kiwis are not that gigantic!

Holy Sheep!!! At the Agrodome I learned about 19 breeds of sheep, sheep dogs and saw a shearer shear a sheep (try saying that three times fast)!! I was even able to bring a bit of that little guy's wool home! What a show! Even Romney showed up! ;)
