Toby the Wallaby

Last Monday, we went back to the library to see Toby the Albino Wallaby. He was just hopping freely around the room. He is actually very cute. In this picture he looks like a huge rat. This was the only picture I got before my batteries died. We also saw an African Crested Porcipine. You can kind of see it in the cage. He did not wander freedly around the room thankfully. His quills are a lot thicker and harder than the porcipines around here. I would not want to get jabbed with one, and unlike the porcipines around here, the African Crested Porcipines don't just shoot their quills at a predator- they throw their whole body at you. Ouch! The kids loved seeing the animals and at one point Brendan started walking (wobbling) right across the room toward the porcipine cage. It was very cute.
