Backyard Zoo



This past Tuesday after the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade kids beat their dads at soccer 1 to 0, we had a great opportunity to see an interesting animal - a chameleon! One of the crew members here that spends much of his time working in the bush outside Monrovia aquired a chameleon from a Liberian fellow who had apparently caught it in the wild. He brought it back to the dock for the children to see before releasing it. I'm not sure any of us had ever even seen a chameleon in a zoo before and here was one in our "backyard". What a cool opportunity, especially for the kids. And what an amazing creature!
