Sea World at Kurt's work again!

Three weeks ago, Sea World came to Kurt's work again. It had been a long time since the last time they came.

Sea World brings animals that they have saved and shows them to everyone at Kurt's work and their families.

Here is Ayla waiting for the show to start.

Back in 1998 Sea World saved a grey whale who they named J.J. They brought a inflatable replica of the size J.J. was when they released her back into the wild. Cool thing is I saw this whale back in 1998. It was my first time at Sea World. I just remember how big she was and thought she looked like a giant fish in a small tank. I guess that is why they only had her for a short time. She grew at a rapid rate.

They brought the armadillo again. Recognize this guy from the last time?

Sorry the pictures are so dark. We were a lot further back this time.

They brought out a toucan.

Did you know this bird's beak practically weighs nothing? They said if you closed your eyes and held your hand out and they put just the beak in your hand, you wouldn't even be able to tell you were holding it. Amazing huh? Their beaks are so big. They said scientists have been trying to figure how it is possible to be so light but it can crush things. It just goes to show, it is just another amazing creation that Heavenly Father created.

Here is a spider monkey. I think they said she was 18 years old.

I liked how they walked around with each animal for us to get a closer look!

I love baby crocodiles and alligators!

I think they are so cute!

I think this is the same one we saw last time.

The last animal they brought out was an African penguin.

I didn't know there were African penguins, did you? I thought they all lived in cold climates. I always felt bad for the penguin at the zoo here because I felt they should be in a colder climate but come to find out those penguins were the same kind as this penguin. I don't feel bad any more.

They let people come up and get their pictures with the penguin.

They told us not to touch the penguin but sure enough when I sat Ayla down next to it, she petted it's wing. I was a little mortified but I think it is cool that Ayla touched a penguin!

It is a lot of fun when Sea World comes to visit!
