Second year pupils at St Aidan’s High school had their rainforest topic brought to life by an exciting visit from The Zoolab Company. From the deepest depths of the rainforest, all the way to Wishaw came Arthur the snail, Beyoncé the tarantula and many more. Eager, brave young students were given the opportunity to interact with the creatures and were fuelled with anticipation and interest. The pupils learned fascinating facts about the miniature beasts, like about Lily the millipede from the Congo and her 500 legs. Zoolab has been running for twenty years and caters to several functions such as birthdays, school visits and public events. The company aims to ‘amaze, educate and inspire’ the public about the lives of animals. The Zoolab rangers care for the exotic creatures at home and show great enthusiasm about each of them individually. The children commented saying ‘It was a really good experience, which was totally unique and holding the animals was so much fun’.
