Shark Week is happening now until April 20th at Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut!  From 11am-3pm each day kids will have a chance to learn about shark conservation, diets, myths and more.  There is even a new shark touch pool where you can get up close and personal with docile white-spotted bamboo and coral cat sharks as they swim by!  The shark activities are included with general admission.  Plan your trip to Mystic Aquarium today! 

Wild Animal Wednesday! This Week- Dwarf Mongoose Pups at Bronx Zoo!

Early this September a Dwarf Mongoose gave birth to three adorable pups at the Bronx Zoo in New York.  The pups are happy and healthy, and sure have a lot of energy! Found in the wild, the Dwarf Mongoose is native to sub-Saharan Africa and is the smallest carnivore on the whole continent!  These newborns and their parents can be seen at the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo Giraffe Building.  They grow up fast, so plan your trip soon!  (Photo Courtesy of Bill Holmstrom/ WCS)
