Callum from Cool Creatures came to our class on Monday to tell us about his trip to the Amazon rainforest and show us some of his animals.

We learned lots of interesting facts about life in the rainforest and even found out that some of the houses float or are built on stilts because of all the rainfall! We learned that a lot of the houses don’t have any electricity at all. After we saw some of Callum’s photos we did our handling session. We got the chance to hold a tortoise, tarantula, millipede and snake if we wanted to and Callum let us all see his new baby African rat that is already almost full size!

Here are some pictures of our amazing afternoon…
