Mykolaiv Zoo continues educational programs for visitors!

Today, April 1, the eighth lecture on "Ancient symbols of wisdom" from the series of interactive lectures "Zoo in the palm of your hand" was held.

During the lecture, the children got acquainted with animals that symbolize wisdom – freshwater turtles (Geoemydidae). Special attention was paid to the only representative of the range of turtles in the fauna of Ukraine – the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis). During the lecture, was discussed the question of how to behave if you suddenly met a pond turtle in its natural environment. Young researchers realized that wild animals are not toys, you should not touch them without a need! Also, the children learned to distinguish freshwater turtles from tortoises.

After the lecture, the children received new knowledge, a good mood and pleasant impressions, because this is so important in such difficult times.
