Spoil your mom this Sunday with a day to the zoo. Race Against Extinction will be at the tea garden with Cymbidium Orchids for sale. The proceeds of which will be going to the Race Against Extinction Fund, so you can both spoil your mom with a beautiful gift and help a really great cause. Race Against Extinction promotes the education of our youth towards maintaining sustainable environments, and that all animals, and Tigers especially, need the care of humans to ensure their survival, just as an orchid will not survive if not properly nurtured and cared for. There will be ambassador animals going around the zoo to meet and greet guests and all mothers will have R10 taken off their entrance fee provided they bring their child. There will also be two educational talks on the day on the roles mothers play in the animal kingdom.

On the 28th April we took part in International Frog Day with emphasis placed on the African Bullfrogs we have here in Midrand. It was a great day with the weather playing along and was enjoyed by all involved. We had the usual ambassador animals going around the zoo as well as conservation talks about frogs and their importance in the environment as an indicator species. There was also face painting for the kids, a hopping race for them to take part in as well as a man-sized frog going around.
On the 25th April a few of our staff members paid a visit to Tom Newby School, with Althea Guinsberg in a penguin outfit. The reason for the visit and penguin outfit was to highlight the plight of these magnificent animals and to teach the kids about how what they do up here in Gauteng affects the environment at the coast and further. The visit was well recieved by the children who always get excited by the appearance of Lory Park Zoo staff.
