An Afternoon with Wildlife

Don't miss this one! Come and be wowed by visits from a number of live animals, and become informed about lemurs, porpoises, lizards and birds of prey.

Where: Victoria Arts Connection, 2750 Quadra Street, (just north of Hillside).

When: Saturday, March 7, 2009. From 3-5 pm.

Admission is free, but please support all our presenters in their efforts to help wildlife. Donations welcome.

John Creviston, former curator of the Crystal Garden Conservation Centre, will speak about the incredible life and habits of the Solomon Island Skink. These unique lizards have a family structure rarely found amongst reptiles, and have a "grasping" tail used when climbing through their rainforest habitat. Two skinks, each about 2 ft. long, will be in attendance.

Anna Hall will talk on the always fascinating porpoises. Anna, a PhD candidate in Zoology, is considered an expert in these mysterious mammals. She recently spoke at the reception for the "Celebrating Wildlife" art exhibit, and was so well received that she was asked back by popular demand.
