Man, I Love Visitors.

Welcome back to Visitor Monday!

Today’s story, once again, comes compliments of Emily Bowling, Education Outreach Instructor Extraordinaire. That is her full title. 

Emily overheard this adorable comment in the Children’s Zoo Building. 

Small Child Visitor (while looking at naked mole rats): “Look, Mom, they have baby walruses!" 

Whiskers? Check. Lack of visible fur? Check. Small, beady eyes? Check. 

Ok, I get it, I get it. Sort of absurd but I can see the resemblance. A little. 

What do you think? 

Could a rodent truly be mistaken for a pinniped? 

Ah, the wonders of life at the Zoo…
