The Rua team had a fantastic experience at Orana Park on Monday. The Educators were wonderful and inspired the students to make a 'difference' with Endangered animals. The students learnt a new acronyom- 'HIPPO' The H is for habitat loss I for introduced species, P for pollution, other P for population growth of humans and the O for over-exploration.
We were all blown away by the Western Gorillas- what an amazing intelligent animal. We were all lucky that Harriet the giraffe was in a hungry mood, feeding her was a real up close and personal experience.
