WNC Nature Center

On Josiah's bday, we were able to go up to the WNC Nature Center with Bops. The Nature Center is a small zoo with native animals. We saw rattlesnakes, frogs, fish. We saw samples of various minerals. Josiah identified talc and commented on how it is the softest mineral and diamonds are the hardest. We saw wolves. Unfortunately, they were sleeping because they are nocturnal.

We saw River Otters. They were playing and swimming in the water. There was a slide on which the kids could pretend to be otters.

We saw black bears. They weren't very active either.

The kiddos like the little petting zoo.

They enjoyed naming the goats. This one they named Chocolate.

The cougars were very active. They were chasing each other and pouncing on each other.

Most of the animals native to NC seem to be nocturnal. We also saw coyotes, raccoons, foxes, and owls. Most of them were sleeping.
