Neston Riverside WI Hear About Creatures Great and Small

Neston Riverside WI had an entertaining evening on Wednesday 21st May when Liz Marrs came to give a talk on "Animals I have Loved and Hated."

Liz used to work as a presenter at Chester Zoo where she would try and educate the human animal about other life forms.

The talk was very amusing and informative. WI members had to copy flamingo movements before learning about synchronised egg laying. We took part in an identification quiz and learned that meerkats tolerate planes flying overhead but hide from police helicopters; penguins are given golf balls to "hatch" to control their breeding and vigorously defend those golf balls; and the largest komodo dragon they'd recorded weighed 23 stone.

We also learned of the habits and misconceptions of some of the people who visit the zoo and the importance of educating them.

The conclusion was that Liz loved all the animals, especially the bats, and hated none but that Humans could be very exasperating!
