Family Fun Day

We had a fun time at the MNHC yesterday. We met quite a few new faces and had a great time talking to the visitors and hanging out with the animals. Quigley, the brush-tailed bettong, was very sweet letting all the kids pet him on he back as I explained what an important animal he is and how integral he is for his ecosystem. Mocha, the duchess pigeon, hasn't been to a show in a while but did a good job teaching people that pigeons are not just "rats with wings", the can be beautiful and interesting creatures. As always, Daisy the red-tailed boa was a hit! She has doubled in size since the first presentation she came to at the Montana Natural History Center. For all of you who haven't made it to a presentation yet, we hope to see you next time. Keep checking the Home Page for upcoming public presentations or maybe we'll see you at your next celebration!
